Alderwood Health Care for Labrador Retrievers

Once we become attached to our Lab companions we begin to get very concerned about preserving that relationship as long as possible. We want our Lab to continue in the best of health and performance for as long as possible...... so we learn about all we can to be a good companion.

Alternate Health Care for Labrador Retrievers
For years we have relied on the care and advice of our vetinarians to preserve the health and well being of our Labs. There are now other choices available, and they are very interesting. Traditional vetinary medicine is beginning to question standard practice that they have held for years, and many researchers are discovering new and exciting ways to assist in the treatment of canine disease and problems. Experience and research has taught that traditional methods of feeding, worming, vaccinating, and medicating do not always bring optimum health. Thus, we additionally utilize alternate methods such as, holistic, natural, herbal, and homeopathic remedies to accomplish optimum health. An overview of Alternate Health Care Products that are available from us may be found here.

A Healthy Lab is a Happy Lab -

We are not vetinarians and the following is a generalization of possible problems. We do not encourage self diagnosis and urge you to consult your vet immediately when concerned with any problem with your Lab.

Often when we hear of certain diseases mentioned and we think the worst, just because this has been the accepted prognosis. New and exciting methods are emerging and old methods are being rediscovered that offer hope to hopeless conditions. No longer do words like "Parvo" and "Distemper" have to strike fear into our hearts. Hundreds of testimonies are validating new care techniques and allowing dogs to live longer and happy lives.

We have been so impressed with these results that we have requested to become a dealer for Amber Technology and Wolf Creek Ranch. It is amazing what these products have done for us and for hundreds of others who have been frustrated by the results of conventional treatment alone.

We have listed health care techniques that we and others have used to combat some very serious diseases and alternate herbal efforts that have been known to allow a dog's natural immune system to function in the way it was designed to. (click here) to review these methods.

If you have experienced a problem with your Lab that you think others may benefit from knowing about, or are fighting a certain condition, please send us an email with details. We will do some research and include it for others below.

Parvovirus (click for details)	Most dogs (more than 80 percent) that are infected will show no symptoms. Dogs that develop the disease show symptoms of the illness within 3 to 10 days. The symptoms include lethargy, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea (usually bloody).
Giardia (click for details)	Symptoms include loss of appetite, lethargy, fever, explosive diarrhea, loose or watery stool, stomach cramps, upset stomach, projectile vomiting (uncommon), bloating, and flatulence.
Coccidiosis (click for details)	persistently loose stools. This diarrhea proceeds to stool containing liquid, thick mucus, and light colored fecal matter. As the infection progresses, spots of blood may become apparent in the stool, and sudden bowel movements may surprise both dog and owner alike. Coccidia infection is so common that any pup under 4 months old with these symptoms can almost surely be assumed to have coccidiosis.
