Q: We have our 15-year-old cat that is beginning to show several signs of anxiety or dementia. Our vet wants to give her Xanax, to which we are opposed. I would like to try defusing essential oils through the house to see if it works. Does anyone know of a practitioner that could help us with what to use that might be specific for what is going on my girl? Thank you. Carrie A: Hi Carrie, I am so sorry to hear about your middle-aged kitty experiencing dementia and anxiety. I hope I can provide some suggestions that may provide some relief to her and to your household/family! I am so glad you asked about the use of essential oils with your cat. Because of the dire and very serious consequences that can occur in cats exposed to essential oils, my position is that they are never safe to use — even diffused, even the therapeutic grade, even EOs lower

The below exchange generated a lot of interest recently on our Yahoo Group and I am sharing here just in case it might be of help to others. Q: What are good Chewing Bones for an old guy? Our dear Francisco turned 13 this year! He has been enjoying the beef knuckle bones and the occasional calf foot for recreational chewing and to keep his teeth and gums clean. I stopped giving him any bones that had been cut a long time ago, because he would try to break off pieces and then chipped 2 of his large back teeth. I recently learned that the Green Tripe knuckle bones are not being stocked any longer, so I am looking for suggestions for other bones that might be safe for him to chew – rounded edges are important. He gets tired of gnawing on bones more quickly than he used to, so I am concerned about his dental health. (except at
Wanted to share with our blog subscribers a fun conversation I had this week with one of our Facebook fans, Sergi Rodriguez. I thought this may be interesting to to others that may have the same question: Q: “What supplements do you recommend adding to a raw diet. I know this may vary with age and specific issues related to different dogs but as a general rule what might you consider necessary? Thank you!” – Sergi Rodriguez posted on the San Francisco Raw Feeders (SFRAW) Facebook page A: Hi Sergi — Thank you for your excellent question!
