Although natural care products / removed URL / for dogs are generally safe, there are still potential risks and side effects to consider. Some dogs may be allergic or sensitive to certain natural ingredients, causing skin irritation or other adverse reactions. Additionally, natural products are not regulated the same way as prescription drugs, so it's important to research the product and manufacturer carefully to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Always follow the product instructions carefully, and start with a small amount to monitor potential reactions. Finally, consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new products, especially if your dog has a preexisting health condition or is taking other medications. Taking these precautions can help ensure the safety and effectiveness of natural care products for your furry friend.

Anyone here have any experience with a B (or any dog for that matter) getting Acupuncture?

Our friend and vet Laura is a certified animal acupuncturist - we haven't had occasion to use her skills with our dogs, but she did use it with our cat several years ago, and it was amazing.
I have heard of several Basenjis who have been treated for various things with acupuncture and have never heard anything negative; it can be combined with 'traditional' vet treatment with good results also…

The 14yo JRT that I used to pet sit would get accupuncture for his arthritis in his hip & shoulder. It worked fantastic for him and gave him great relief…and he only would make a noise (he was a growly cranky old man) when they would put the needle in near the crown, otherwise, he would just lie there while they put the rest of the needles in. Kind of amazing.
