Maximum Health for Injured & Recovering Dogs
Dr. Bill’s Supplement Recommendations
“Often dogs who are sick, injured or recovering from surgery will reduce their intake of food or stop eating all together. We veterinarians call this appetite change anorexia. What this really means is that the dog is not getting the nutrition their bodies need in order to properly function. Because dogs are carnivores, a single day without the essential amino acids that must come from ingesting high-quality protein will cause the dog to enter into negative nitrogen balance (losing muscle tissue faster than rebuilding it). Another way of describing this serious condition is that tissue breakdown now exceeds tissue repair – just the opposite of what you want if rapid recovery is your goal.”
“So, what is the best way to deal with anorexia? Whether recovering from illness, injury, or surgery all three conditions require rest as an important part of the recovery process. This inactivity means nutritionally they will need fewer calories yet more protein on a daily basis – a kind of balance that is not found in any of today’s dog foods.”

More Injured & Recovering Dog Supplements We Recommend
Canine Digestive Support
Like puppies, adult dogs also like to eat all kinds of things like poisonous plants, snails, rocks, sticks, toys, even garbage. This often results in stomach or intestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhea. One product you might want to keep on hand is my Canine Digestive Support. It can sooth those stomach problems and the billions of helpful pre and probiotic cultures can repopulate the lost micro-flora stabilizing the intestinal tract once again for optimum gut health.
Canine Cognitive Support
If your ill or recovering dog is a senior dog, the stresses of illness or injury can bring on behaviors that could indicate the beginning of cognitive decline. Should any signs of dementia be present, I recommend starting my Canine Cognitive Support as soon as possible. Proactive supplementation is always faster and cheaper than trying to recover after a more serious decline has already started.
