Dissolve Herbal Formulas FAQ

What may I expect?: Every dog is different. Customers report to us that they first notice a softening of the lumps and then a gradual reduction of the size. Many customers also report that the pooch immediately starts feeling better, and that there seems to be more energy and get up and go.

It is extremely important to keep in mind that Dissolve Fatty Lumps is a formula that's to be used over three months period of time. If you purchased one bottle as a "test", you may be disappointed, since the formula works over time. We have priced the product so that we give a nice size discount as you buy more, to encourage the long term use of the formula. The people who looked at this as a longer term process and not just a single usage type of supplement have achieved the positive results they were hoping for.
Does it work for every dog?: No, it doesn't work for every dog. That's the way it is when using herbals, or for that matter even modern medicines. We can however say, that most every dog owner that has used this product for their dog has reported some benefit from its use such as; there appears to be less pain when the dog moves, the dog appears to have more energy, and seems to be more alert and spunky. Dissolve Fatty Lumps is a product that is reordered on a continual basis...but unfortunately we never know for what dog it will not work, and why it works on others.
What kind of herbs are these and are they safe?: Our formulas for cats and dogs are a combination of several Chinese herbs. These various herbs are used on adults, children and pets and they are considered very safe.

These herbs are hospital grade herbs, manufactured under GMP standards...they are also used in US teaching colleges, Chinese hospitals and such....there is no such thing as canine or feline grade herbs. You and your cat & dog can can share the herbs if you wish!

We have been using these various herbs for several years without incident.

But we must all stay alert because like any food there always exists the possibility of allergies or a lack of tolerance and because these herbs and classified as a food, the possibly of an allergic reaction should always be a consideration.

If by chance you should feel that your experiencing a negative effect, stop the herbs immediately wait two days or until symptoms recede, and then start again with 1/2 the dosage.

If symptoms resume, then immediately stop the herbs.
Do these herbs work?: As a company that sells herbs we always have to get a little frustrated at this question. Of course they work , HOWEVER we can never be sure of the success because each cat and dog and every person is an individual.

NOT ALL MEDICINES WORK!...

For some reason we have lost our ability to be rational with respect to herbal remedies. As a company we wouldn't offer herbs that can't help, however it would be foolish to claim that they work 100% of the time, that's not logical right?

We can say that they really do help support a dogs health naturally. We could not stay in business if we did not have happy customers.
What else can I do for my dog to get rid of these lumps while using Pawhealer's Dissolve?: Immediately get your dog off of any food that contains GRAINS, rice, wheat, barley, oats, etc. We want a grain restricted menu of foods. We recommend Wellness-Core (grain free) and Natural Balance (grain free) and better yet...the very best thing you can do for your dog is home cooked foods.

We also have offers for recommended products which are the Garlic Tabs and Thyro.....both of these are considered whole food therpay and added to your dogs food each day along with the herbs.
How do I know that Dissolve is working?: First thing that Dissolve does is a softening up of lipomas. Once the lipomas are softened up, then Dissolve will begin reducing their size. To check the progress...at the very start get some wax paper...circle the lumps and keep that wax paper measurement as your reference tool. Check the lump against this measurement tool every two weeks.
How do these herbs come to us?: These herbs are a loose powder form. They are a 5:1 concentration of raw herbs made into powder called granules.

For additional charge of $10 per bottle we will encapsulate them for you which will provide you with 200 capsules.

At check out we also offer you the option to purchase empty capsulesthat is $5.00 for 200 empty gel caps.

We also offer a liquid oral syringes for a cost of $2.00 which is used by mixing warm water and the herbs together to make a solution to squirt down the back of your dogs throat.
Should I tell my veterinarian that I am giving my cat or dog herbs?: YES....its always important that all doctors know what we ourselfs are taking as well as our pets.

Many people hide this information from their pet's doctor, we feel that you should be able to discuss the health of your cat or dog openly with your pet's primary physician, and if you can't and you feel intimidated, then you need to look for a doctor that you feel you can communicate with open and honestly.

Not telling your vet isn't the answer...the answer is working with a vet who understands your values and will work with you while ensuring the safety of your pet.

We would appreciate if you would share the success of the herbs with your vet....in the hopes that some day herbal medicine will have a much wider acceptence.
Can I give herbs to my cat or dog while also taking other medicines?: Yes, however we suggest that you give herbs and medicines one hour apart from one another so that you can get the full benefit of each.

Always remember to tell your veterinarian what herbs you have decided to give your pet..this includes all supplements as well.
What suggestions are there on how to give herbs to my cat or dog?: Dogs and cats can be given powdered herbs, powder herb extracts, and liquid herb extracts in their meals. If your pet's appetite is poor because of illness or learned preferences, you may need to disguise the taste further by using especially strong-smelling foods: like tuna, sardines, liverwurst or braunsheiger. For some pets, baby food or canned cat food is such a novelty that they will take the herbs mixed with these foods. Some pharmacies and veterinary manufacturers make a flavored "tab wrap" or "pill pocket" for dogs and cats; these are especially designed to hide small tablets. Other tasty treats to hide herbs include cream cheese, jelly, peanut or other nut butters, ground meat or liver (beef or chicken), and fruit. Applesauce is particularly recommended by some herbalists. Flavored gravies for pets can also be used to dilute the herbs and mask the taste. *

If your pet's appetite is suppressed due to illness, do not mix medicines in regular meals-administer the herbs separately in a different food treat or in empy gel caps or via oral syringe behind the tongue.

Powdered herbs may be mixed into small "pills" of butter, then frozen to increase firmness. You can blend them with anchovy paste, organic peanut butter, jelly, jam, sandwich pastes, or other thick tasty foods.

It may be easier in some cases to administer the powdered herbs by mixing them into a liquid (usually hot so that powdered herbs 'dissolve' either with boiled liquid/water or by placing the 'mixture' of liquid/water and powdered herbs in a microwave for 5-7 seconds and then letting cool off) that is to be gently and slowly administered by syringe. Vehicles that have been recommended include meat or poultry broth, clam juice, flavored syrups, and fruit juice.

You can take advantage of your cat's fastidiousness by mixing the herb in a hairball gelor Laxatone vegemite or anchovy paste, and smearing it on his or her paws-only very sick cats will let that insult go unchallenged! Some herbalists make traditional teas using meat broth instead of plain water, then frozen in ice cube trays to preserve until the day of use.

If herb capsules must be administered, they often "go down" more easily if one end is covered in butter or olive oil. Be sure to administer water or broth afterward to ensure the the capsule passes quickly from the esophagus to the stomach.

The other option is by oral syringe...mixing enough water to dissolve the herbs and make a solution and using an oral syringe you can give it by squirting it down the very back of the throat. After a few times it becomes easier to use this method. The option for oral syringe is at time of checkout also.
