Pain & Trauma

Indications of pain in your cat

We don't always know when our felines are in pain. Cats are very stoic and, in the wild, if they display weakness predators will take advantage of their weakness.
Recognizing certain signs they exhibit when experiencing pain is key in assisting our companions during those times.

• Appearance:  Your cat may be unable to groom himself or herself regularly and therefor his/her coat may start to look unkempt or dirty.
• Behavioral Changes:  Your cat may become more vocal if experiencing pain. Some may even growl or moan and be unable to purr. Sometimes he/she may become agitated, depressed and may even hide for lengthy periods of time.
• Physical Abnormalities:  Your cat may exhibit limping or holding a paw off the ground. He/she may refuse to climb or descend stairs or be resistant to being held or touched.

What is Comfort Gold?

Comfort Gold is a proprietary combination of five herbs that work in unison to soothe your feline in times when discomfort is evident.  A cause of discomfort can be associated with normal, daily activity.

What is Comfort Gold used for?

It is difficult to watch your feline in obvious discomfort.  His or her mobility may be altered and enjoyment of daily activities can be difficult.  When your pet is experiencing this, it is nice to know there is a natural supplement that can help.  Comfort Gold increases a sense of wellbeing and gentle relaxation, without being sedating.  It also supports normal blood flow into all areas of the body.  When this happens, nutrients are circulated more widely and cellular waste is carried out for excretion.  Comfort Gold supports this normal function of efficient circulation. Your pet may also experience an easy, restful sleep.

Can my cat take Comfort Gold with medications?

Do not use with blood-thinners.  May change the absorption of pain-relievers and antibiotics.

Are there any side effects or precautions?

Do not use during pregnancy.  If animal's condition worsens or does not improve, stop product administration and consult your veterinarian.  An examination from a veterinarian is recommended prior to using this product.

Is it difficult to administer?

No. Comfort Gold is enhanced with delicious, natural bacon flavor. We recommend administration of the drops in a way that your cat will like best (i.e. mixed into food, on a feline treat, or directly into the mouth).

What is Pet Melatonin?

Melatonin is a naturally-occurring hormone produced in the pineal gland of dogs (and other animals), and plays a large role in regulating sleep patterns. It also has a role in the regulation of cortisol production. In dogs, melatonin supplementation has been shown to target the adrenal cells and the amount of cortisol they make. This may support normal hair growth, normal appetite and urination in dogs. It has been shown that having a consistent level of melatonin in the body can help support balanced cortisol output by the adrenal glands. Melatonin inhibits some of the enzymes needed for the body to produce more cortisol.

Pet Melatonin is different from melatonin used for human consumption. It is a unique liquid form that makes it ideal to administer to dogs of all sizes in the correct amounts, unlike capsules or tablets. It is synthetically derived and not made from the pineal glands of pigs. A synthetic melatonin ensures safety from viruses or other microbes that can be present in animal tissue. Pet Melatonin is also not a quick-release or a slow acting form of melatonin. A simple form of melatonin is the ideal way to administer this supplement to a dog, and not quick or slow release. Pet Melatonin is enhanced with natural bacon flavor so it is something your dog will enjoy.

What is Pet Melatonin used for?

Pet Melatonin is a supplement made just for dogs. Animal studies have shown promising results supplementing melatonin to animals for adrenal support. By supporting the adrenals to be balanced, with normal cortisol production, dog owners report normal hair growth, less stress, normal energy levels and normal appetite and urination in their dogs.

For dogs who experience anxiety for any reason (such as separation anxiety), melatonin is often the key to helping dogs maintain less stress in their day.

Pet Melatonin can also assist dogs if normal sleep patterns need to be achieved.

To recap, Pet Melatonin can help with:

• Normal cortisol production by the adrenal glands
• Normal hair growth
• Regular appetite and urination
• Anxiety from separation and less stress
• Anxiety due to things like loud noises
• Sleep patterns

A Note from our Veterinarian...

A primary recommendation for dogs who are taking Adrenal Harmony Gold, is to also administer Pet Melatonin. Some dogs will initially experience an increase in relaxation (decreased activity) and more sleep. This usually stabilizes within about two weeks.

As mentioned, the daily administration of Pet Melatonin (and thus a constant level in the bloodstream) is what helps to target the cells of the adrenal gland and cause more normal cortisol production.

As a third recommendation, look for a reputable supplier of lignans. The perfect combination to supporting dog adrenals is:

• #1 Adrenal Harmony Gold
• #2 Pet Melatonin
• #3 Lignans

Nutrition:

Make sure your dog receives a diet high in nutrients. A supplement like SPARK found here: http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/spark-daily-nutritional-supplement-for-dogs-and-cats-200g contains nutrients and superfoods from whole food sources, along with probiotics and enzymes for overall good health, immunity and energy.

What is Stress Gold?

Stress Gold is a quick-acting, non-addictive formula designed for cats. This herbal combination naturally supports the central nervous system in times of nervous tension or heightened states of emotion.

The primary ingredients in this formula act directly on the brain to produce a natural and safe sedative effect. The result is reduced nerve tension, subdued restlessness and a decreased tendency to hyperactivity or excitability. The class of herbal sedatives used in this formula are safe and will not cause stomach upset. Other types of natural sedatives can be described as narcotic in nature and usually contain high levels of alkaloids. Our ingredients do not contain high alkaloid levels.

Stress Gold will help your pet feel pleasantly relaxed and possibly sleepy.

What is Stress Gold used for?

Stress Gold acts quickly on the nervous system so your pet can feel more relaxed at times when they might otherwise experience sudden anxiety, agitation or even aggression. Use Stress Gold before or after a known stressful situation to restore calmness.

Many behaviors can be observed with an animal is under stress.
A pet may appear nervous or agitated to the point of displaying fear (panic), pacing or showing aggression. If the animal is unable to calm down, there may be an increase in heart and breath rate. Stress can be expressed by urinating, biting or incessant meowing.

In some cases, stress can be induced by a medication, but in most cases it is due to something in the animal's environment:

• Travel, boarding, moving
• Loud noises like thunder, yelling, children or fireworks
• Change in pet owner, even temporary
• New people in the home or someone's absence
• Home renovations

Some cats may cease urinating under stress, while others are soothed by surrounding themselves with their own scent and will urinate in odd places or outside the litter box.

Physical stress is another type of stress, usually caused by pain or discomfort of an injury or inflammation, such as arthritis. By treating the cause of the health issue, the discomfort will hopefully abate and with it, the feelings of stress. For physical discomfort, we highly recommend using Comfort Gold http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/comfort-gold-for-felines, Pet Wellbeing's natural pain reliever.

A Note from our Veterinarian...

Like people, our pets have individual histories, perceptions and personalities. It is important to notice and respond to your pet individually. It may be hard to undersand why a certain event is stressful or it may be obvious. Either way, it is helpful to have Stress Gold on hand if your cat is prone to stress or a stressful event is about to take place. Take comfort that there is a safe and natural product you can provide when it is needed. For your pet's peace of mind and your own.

The amount of Stress Gold required is individual. In other words, the dosage needed by one pet may be different from the amount another pet needs. Some pets respond dramatically to nervines ("NER-veens" = herbs that have an effect on the nervous system) and others need more before there is an effect. Notice how your pet responds for 30-40 minutes after administering Stress Gold. You may need to repeat the dose and this can be done safely, up to 4 doses per day.

Stress Gold can be used for hyperactivity and trouble relaxing at night when everyone in the home is trying to sleep. Insomnia or night stalking may be a clue that something is wrong. Some causes of insomnia are:

• Conditions like pain (example:  from arthritis)
• Hyperthyroidism
• Chronic itchiness due to allergies or fleas
• Frequent need to urinate (may be a kidney or bladder problem)
• Old age

Insomnia is usually a symptom of something else, rather than a condition in itself. Treating the cause of insomnia is the primary focus but Stress Gold can provide relief while the condition exists.

If your cat is experiencing regular anxiety of any kind or requires support with long-standing behavioral problems, I recommend using Calming Care http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/calming-care-for-cat-anxiety-and-stress? as a daily supplement. Calming Care takes effect gently, over time, for supporting sustained calm moods. It is not sedating.

Can my cat take Stress Gold with medications?

Use with caution in conjunction with nervous system depressants. Do not use prior to anesthesia. Use caution with cardiac and kidney conditions or if using steroids.

Does it come with a guarantee?

Yes! Stress Gold comes with a 90 day money-back guarantee.
