When our dog Baxter was a puppy he had intestinal issues from day one. We tried various types of dog food to no avail. We started adding a probiotic to his food on a daily basis and this cleared up the mucus problems he had. When he turned one year old and we switched to adult dog food, it dawned …

I have a 12 year old border collie mix. She is very sweet and smart. 2 years ago she became very ill using regular veterinary care for her allergies and foot licking and had wounds on her feet and was limping around, not very energetic. Her veterinarian put her on two meds that put several of her organs into stress …

We have a wonderful 5 year old Lab that we adopted. Since she had lost her best friend and housemate a few months earlier, she was suffering with depression.

Unfortunately he is a very picky eater. He doesn’t even like human food! Luckily we found Four Paws. Because they have …

We have had our dog Blu since last August and have been struggling with episodes of chronic diarrhea. In the dead of winter with snow knee-high this year, all night long I would be urgently racing for the front door with my dog to get out before an accident would occur. Our vet ran tests and did not find any …

When our Carin Terrier, Mels, began having severe itching problems on the sides of her body, we knew we needed to seek out help.

We have a super great Bernese Mountain dog, Joey, who is epileptic and needs his medicines several times a day. The problem was he would not take his pills! I tried the usual: cheese, pill pockets, peanut butter, etc. – nothing worked. On my first visit to Four Paws, I was telling a very kind sales associate my problem. She told …
