Ingredient Information

Why our Herbs?

We only use organic or wild harvested herbs grown in North America and Europe. Organic herbs have been shown to be up to ten times stronger than conventionally grown herbs. The reason we buy only from North America and Europe is that herbs from other areas overseas are still grown with the use of highly toxic pesticides and insecticides and many still use DDT. Many herb companies buy from growers in India, Egypt, China, etc, because they literally pay 50 to 60 cents a pound for weak dirty unregulated herbs. Even if they claim to be Organic, herbs from other countries are almost always irradiated in Ethylene Oxide gas chambers to destroy bacteria before being allowed into North America. Ethylene Oxide gas has been proven to cause liver cancer in animals, destroy nerve cells, cause leukemia, respiratory disease, seizures, comas, etc.

We pay anywhere from $10 to $185 dollars per pound for our herbs which are grown on certified organic farms or wild-harvested right here in North America. We use only the strongest and cleanest herbs to ensure the best nutrition for your pet. Before using any herbal formula ask the manufacturer where their herbs come from. If they can’t tell, you might be endangering your pet’s health by using them.

Why our tinctured formulae?

We make our formulae very, very strong. The reason we do this is we want your pet be as healthy as possible. Many companies use only 10 to 20 percent herbs when making their tinctures and the rest is the extracting liquid. The result is a watered down weak tincture that is light in color and has at best a light taste if you can detect anything at all beyond the alcohol.

We use a minimum of 90% herbs in our formulae and we let our formulae steep for 14 days. The result is a dark liquid that has a powerful aroma and taste of the herb(s) it is made from. The strongest tinctures you can buy at most health stores are rated 1:1 that means 50% herbs to 50% extracting liquid. Many herb companies think that’s overkill, we think it’s not nearly strong enough.

Rena-Cleanse

Ingredients: Juniper berries, Uva Ursi leaf, Corn silk, Horsetail herb, Burdock root and seed, Pipsissewa leaf, Parsley leaf and root, Goldenrod flower tops and Marshmallow root.

The kidneys are just as important in cleaning your dog’s blood as the liver. When the kidneys are healthy they take on the job of filtering blood plasma, they return good clean blood to the body and create urine to expel the waste. They also regulate the acid/alkaline balance, as well as the water and electrolytes of the blood. Cleaning the elimination organs will ensure that your pet has the support to maintain good health.

This formula contains herbs that support the healthy function of the kidneys.

All ingredients are either organic or wild harvested.

Immuno-Aid

Ingredients: Echinacea Angustofolia Root and Echinacea Purpurea Seed.

Echinacea supports the immune system. This formula goes hand in hand with Rena-Cleanse.

All ingredients are either organic or wild harvested.

Hepara-Cleanse

Ingredients: Milk Thistle seed, Gentian root, Dandelion root, Oregon Grape root, Wormwood leaf and flower, Mojave Chaparral herb, Black Walnut hulls, Ginger rhizome, and Fennel seed.

The liver’s job is to cleanse the blood of any impurities such as those found in processed foods, tap water that is loaded with chemicals, the polluted air we all breathe and toxic pharmaceutical residues. These toxins overload your dog’s liver. They congest the liver and in turn, the liver becomes less able to filter the blood. Over time the toxins that your dog’s liver should be removing can get into the bloodstream and may lead to problems. Start giving your dog organic whole foods, clean filtered water, plenty of outdoor exercise and cleanse his liver and kidneys and you will see huge improvements in his health.

All ingredients are either organic or wild harvested.

Blood Cleansing Formula

Ingredients: Red clover blossoms, Mojave Chaparral herb, Oregon Grape root, burdock root and seed, Yellow Dock root, Poke root, Habanero Cayenne peppers, and Lobelia seeds.

This formula goes hand in hand with Hepara-Cleanse. The potent herbs in this formula support healthy blood and lymphatic system.

All ingredients are either organic or wild harvested.

L-Carnitine & Taurine

Carnitine Ingredients: Human Grade L-Carnitine, cellulose.

Taurine Ingredients: Human Grade Taurine

L-Carnitine is a natural protein-like substance that enables cells to carry fuel (fatty acids) to the heart.

Taurine is an amino acid that is found in muscles, it is most abundant in the heart tissue. It maintains cell membranes, regulates the heartbeat and protects the heart from calcium overload. One study showed it to be more effective than CoQ10.

To get a little more technical, Carnitine’s job is to carry fatty acids into the mitochondria. Fatty acids are metabolized by the mitochondria within the cell. Each molecule of fat must be attached to a molecule of Carnitine in order to be transported across the mitochondria. After the fat has been metabolized in the mitochondria and has generated the energy ATP, Carnitine is again needed to remove the waste product from the mitochondria.

My 12 year old Cock-a-Poo, Abbey,
If you’re anything like me, your “pet” is your best friend, a member of the family, and the light of your life. So watching your pet get older is anything but easy.
I came across the Canine Heart Health site, the same one you are on right now.
I ordered the entire program.
Many happy and healthy days to you all!!!! Should you want to email me and ask me anything or if you need any support with how to make the program easier to administer, email me at eva.r@embarqmail.com.
Thanks,
Eva & Abbey
