Poor Brutus! When I think back to what life was like for our then-six-year-old cat, I just want to cry. He weighed about 20 pounds, which Dr. Frick told us was 8 to 9 pounds too many.

Two years ago, our previous vet diagnosed Brutus of having diabetes and started treating him with 6 units of insulin twice a daily. Our previous vet advised us to feed Brutus with special dry food for diabetic cats.

Then my friend told me me that her sister-in-law took her dog to a credible veterinarian and was impressed with the outcome. Meeting Dr. Ava Frick and discovering her clinic was a blessing to us.

Brutus seemed to have flaky dandruff coming off and his fur was dull when we took him to Dr. Frick for the first time. He drank an excessive amount of water each day, and urinated 10-12 times daily. He appeared to be starving most of the time and beg for food like a dog. He became grouchy and did not want to stay longer with the family anymore.

In a week's time when we brought Brutus to Dr. Frick's clinic, she ran some tests on him and explained to us the serious concerns regarding his blood sugar levels, which were found to be like a rollercoaster. It goes up and down endlessly.

Dr. Frick tried an experiment on Brutus by taking him off the insulin for a short while and reintroduced it. She revolutionized his diet to a canned, low-carb food, and started on a routine of 2 units of insulin every 12 hours.

In just a period of two days, his blood sugar levels returned to normal. In addition, his excessive thirst and urination ceased.

We learned how to test Brutus' blood glucose levels at home two or three times daily, and we kept a close eye on the results until, after about three months on his new diet and dosage of insulin, Dr. Frick decided it was time to take Brutus off of the insulin. He was able to discard almost five pounds, regained his normal luster of his coat, goes to his litter box three or four times everyday. Begging for food is a thing of the past, and his crankiness has been replaced with his old, loving personality.

Maya is my only child that's why we give whatever she wants as long as it will help her learn new things and develop her character in the long run. She already displayed an interest in horses even at a young age of 8 and in fact, she'd love to have her own pet horse. The cost of purchasing a horse doesn't fit our budget, we had to save up and wait for several years before buying her a horse. Besides, we have to be sure that she really wants a horse and it's not just a passing whim. She was so happy and elated when we finally gave her Black Beauty. Shortly after learning how to ride the majestic horse, our daughter was really determined to teach her new pet some tricks, such as jumping and galloping.

Black Beauty wasn't a young horse. The primary reason why we were able to buy the horse was because the owner was facing foreclosure of his farm and he wanted to save his farm and home thus, he was forced to sell his prized possessions. That's why we weren't aware that Black Beauty was already 15 years old by the time we bought her. In just a little over a year, the poor equine started to exhibit signs of aging and was starting to disobey Maya whenever she asks the beast to jump or do some exercises.

The poor performance of the horse eventually affected our Maya's self-esteem. She was depressed and appeared less excited because all the while she thought that it was her leadership skills or the lack thereof that caused Black Beauty's behavior. It has not occurred to our Maya that the problem lies with horse arthritis, which can cause extreme animal joint pains. In my bid to improve the situation, I searched the Internet and looked for clinics that specialize in animal joint pains. Fortunately, I came across Animal Fitness Center, an animal chiropractic clinic.

We immediately brought Black Beauty to Animal Fitness Center to have her diagnosed and checked by Dr. Ava Frick. She immediately told us about animal joint pains and explained to us that chiropractic sessions, as well as Alpha-Stim 100 (a medical device that emits microcurrents to relieve pain and tension), will help ease the arthritic pain suffered by Maya's pet. Further, Dr Frick designed a pain management therapy that focuses on Black Beauty's nutrition and well-being.

We were impressed by the fast recovery and the notable improvement even after a few weeks of therapy. Maya also realized that it was the animal joint pains that was to blame for her pet's sufferings. Now, she is back to her old happy self, Black Beauty is better now.

Sometimes it can be strange the kinds of things we remember from our childhood. I'd be willing to bet most of you did not know that. Whenever we children would use improper etiquette my dad would always ask "What are ya, an animal?". Well, that debate continues, right? Are people animals? According to The American Heritage Dictionary there is a distinction between people and animals and gametic isolation backs this up. There are, however, remarkable similarities between primate genetics and those of humans for example.

Actually we share more than thirty percent of our genes with bananas.

My whole point in all of this is to make the moral judgment call that we as humans have been given stewardship over our pets and we are duty bound to ensure their well being; especially with things like animal joint pain. She has pet water treadmill therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation as well. I know I had to look that last one up myself. It turns out my wife has been using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for years. It all comes down to using electronic stimulation to manage and correct pain. It really does work well and now it's available to your pets. She really is an amazing person, this Ava Frick, and you are being robbed of valuable insight if you ignore what she has to offer you. Did you know you can actually get animal chiropractic services for your pets? It completely blows me away what's available for my pets today.

They can't tell us what's wrong with them with words. We need to rely on all the signals they give off as well as visiting the vet. We can also count on our own research by visiting a great site I discovered online called AvaFrick.com. This woman is doing the great work out there. I never even imagined the kinds of things I learned about animals.

You know, our ability to utilize, explain, and comprehend reason and logic is one of the main things which separate us from the animals. Logically speaking of course we are driven by the acknowledgment of transcendental realities and not merely by instinct alone.

I've never seen anything like it. She wasn't very big at all. I believe she was a miniature shitsu. Whatever she was, the word "miniature" was aptly suited. She was also a bad tempered little thing, always wanting to bite anyone who got too close to her or her owner. Her nasty disposition was obvious and she wasn't afraid to show it.

She died of poor nutrition not too long ago which is why I'm referring to her in the past tense.

Apparently these types of dogs are prone to having chronic tooth problems but let me tell you something; the kind of food my in-laws were feeding that poor dog was an abomination. These little dogs are not intended to handle the kinds of foods we ingest. While she was still relatively young even it was in quite a bit of distress from the obvious pet pain it was in. I remember her teeth being her biggest problem. They never got her any dog pain relief which only served to make her more irritated. They always fed her the same food that they were eating. They had literally no concern about proper dog nutrition at all. They used to bring the dog over to my house and eventually, over time, her teeth slowly rotted away. My in-laws just ignored it because they figured it was a common thing to these dogs. It was they who were the cause of the pet pain by denying the little dog of proper dietary nutrition but it never concerned them.

The dog went blind eventually and over time went into a state of canine paralysis. I feel that by exposing what my own in-laws did to their dog, even though it's a terrible thing to write about, I might be able to shame others when it comes to their dog's nutritional requirements into correcting their behavior. With all of the data and knowledge available to common people like my in-laws it seems to me that no dog should ever have to go through the kind pain that little shitsu went through simply because they were too lazy to do a little dog pain research. I found an excellent site called AvaFrick.com where anyone can go to find out immensely valuable information about the nutritional needs of their pets. My wife no longer associates with her sister and neither do I. Because of built in programming dogs are compelled to protect people they have imprinted on.

Don't you think we should do a better job protecting them?

Recently I heard a great story. Her owners took good care of and she was an old girl. After showing signs of dog joint pain they brought her in to see an animal nutritionist a couple of years back and the advice and pet arthritis products did wonders for her. This guy took his wife out on the town. When they came home they found their house in complete shambles even though they locked before they left. Every curtain was ripped off the walls, every piece of furniture was turned upside down, and there was blood everywhere. It appeared as though the house had been broken in to. The searched the house after they called the police to see if anyone was still in the house, you know, like they do on TV. Once they cleared the house they looked to see if anything had been stolen. Strangely enough nothing seemed to be stolen. They had a collie/sheppard mix.

The story takes a mysterious twist. There seemed to be some blood around the dog's mouth. By conflating that information with the knowledge that there was blood all over the led was cause for my friends and the authorities to believe that the dog was responsible for scaring the crackers out of whoever broke in. It appears as though the locks on the doors were nothing compared with the well oiled machine they had as a family pet.

This friend of mine went on to explain how he thinks it all happened. Apparently the dog had never hurt anyone its entire life. Her whole life she grew up with little children pulling her hair, poking her in the eyes, pulling her tail, and so on. The dog never showed any signs of aggression toward anyone. They always bought the best nutritional diet for the dog, and when it got older, like I said they managed the dog joint pain with proper animal chiropractic care. So my friend figures the dog heard someone walking around the house and decided to see who it might be. When the intruder saw the big dog he got frightened and took on an offensive posture. The faithful pooch then proceeded to dispatch the intruder the only way she knows how.

Are you ready for this: the dog was eighteen years old. Now, according to the latest scientific data an eighteen year old dog is equal to a human being who is eighty eight years old. Can you imagine that? Simply by loving this animal, feeding her a proper nutritional diet, and treating the dog joint pain with proper animal pain relief they had a loyal, productive member of the family who was up to the challenge when she was needed most.

Isn't that an amazing story?

My book club is on Thursday nights. My friend has more problems than I ever imagined. One of the horse's offspring, who adored her mother, had equine depression because of the older horse's condition. Nancy's problems were too much to handle. What would you do if your equine couldn't get up and walk? I have so many acquaintances and most of them have become special friends. Nancy, a very interesting lady, is my good friend. Nancy has been having some tough time with her horses lately. Nancy's first horse, now old and suffering from a failing health It was taking her longer and longer to get up after she would lie down. Nothing would interest her. She has ceased eating. Euthanasia was one of the options according to Nancy but she couldn't do it.

She was absent in many social functions so she can attend to her horses. According to veterinarian, her horses were a hopeless case. He suggested Midwest Microcurrent. He told her that even though it was about three hours away it might be the only place that can help her. I called Nancy that evening and she asked me to look at Midwest Microcurrent's web site and to let her know what I thought. I checked the informative website over and called Nancy back to tell her to go for it, it looked like she had nothing to lose.

The Alpha-Stim machine looks like the star equipment in the web site. People and animals can use it. Just place the wires on the problem areas and that's it. The machine produces micro electrical currents at different wavelengths on areas that will be most beneficial to the body. Some wires are placed on the ears by using a clip. In some areas, adhesive pads with electrodes are placed on vital areas where it's needed most. The other way to use the machine is by using probes to hold them against the body when any other way won't work. By performing this, these electrical impulses are directed to the parts of the body that needs a balance in its electrical system. In a relaxed state, the horses would not feel a tinge of fear. This machine helps, horse depression, old age, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, arthritis, surgical incisions, open wounds, pain and other problems.

Immediately the following day, Nancy and her husband loaded the horses in the trailer and went off. They came back that night with a machine and two horses who were already feeling better. The horse cranial electrotherapy stimulation, administered at home, is working wonders on the horses. Although it's only been a short while, both horses are doing wonderfully.

The mother horse has reverted to her old ways.

When I was a little girl, I loved horses. I think that's the end of the line for me when it comes to winning competitions. We had this small ranch and have lived with horses as far as I can remember. It was my parents who were in charge with the horses that's why I never had to worry about horse joint pain and horse pain relief. Once I proved I could maintain and train a horse, my parents gifted me with a beautiful show horse. He was a dear when I was raising him. For our regular exercise, we went to the trails near our ranch; that's after I saddle trained him, of course. One day while we were walking on the trail, my horse, Bailey, slipped and fell hard on his front knees. He had landed on a jagged rock and badly bruised and lacerated his knee. We followed the vet's instructions and he looked as though he was fully healed except for the bad knee which seems to bother him a lot.

We became stronger after the accident. I felt that Bailey truly became my pet after that. I began to think of horse joint pain and pet pain relief all the time. I started looking on the web to see if there was anything I could do to alleviate the horse joint pain he was feeling, after all Bailey was supposed to be a show horse. Weeks after my long drawn search for answers, I chanced upon the Animal Fitness Centre site. As I go over the site, there seemed to be a lot I could do for Bailey. I got all excited and my hopes are up again for Bailey's horse joint pain.

Dr Ava Frick's team scheduled the whole day so they can check Bailey. They were very nice and helpful. Dr. Frick said that Bailey had developed equine arthritis and this is what caused the horse joint pain. She said that Bailey's horse joint pain is curable and she'll make sure that Bailey will be cared for. She told me she often helps when an equine cant walk and has equine paralysis. Most of them recuperate 100%.She specializes in animal pain relief and uses pet chiropractic and a pet water treadmill, physical therapy, nutrition, and herbal remedies among many types of high-tech treatments.

The staff at the Animal Fitness center did a massage treatment on Bailey; this kind of physical therapy was something we can do at home. We brought Bailey in for the treatments, for pet pain, we couldnt do at home and before we knew it he needed fewer and fewer treatments. In between treatments at Animal Fitness Center and our home, Bailey has been walking limp free for six months.

Were going to be starting competition soon and hope to be bringing many ribbons home.

While at the park walking, with my best friend and cherished dog Rufus, I noticed he wasnt pulling me along like he usually does. I decided to pace my walk so I could see what was wrong with him. The first thing I noticed, he seemed to be walking very stiffly and had to be experiencing dog joint pain every time he moved his legs. To match his slower gait, I walk slower than I used to. Our favorite form of exercise has been a struggle since then.

Eager to find out what was wrong with Rufus, I took him to my regular vet. I was told that Rufus had pet arthritis. He gave me medicine for the dog joint pain, and sent us on our way. Everytime we give Rufus his medicine, we have to fight with him; it was obvious that he disliked the medicine. Then one morning, Rufus couldn't walk anymore. She just wont get up anymore. I felt bad for Rufus.

Desperate, I checked the internet for help and found Animal Fitness Center ran by Dr. Ava Frick. She said Rufus' inability to walk was caused by pet arthritis and dog joint pain. Dr. Ava Frick told me that the Animal Fitness Center had many ways of helping Rufus walk again without any need to take medication. I made the appointment right away, as I was very eager to see Rufus walk again.

Dr. Ava Frick said that there are many treatments available including animal chiropractic care. These treatments were intended for animal pain relief and rehabilitation. Rufus had dog joint pain and not canine paralysis; I was thrilled when I found out about it. The treatment will work in no time, that's what Dr Ava Frick assured us. Rufus started to walk again, albeit slowly, after several treatments and a change in diet. Rufus' recovery wouldn't be possible without the help of the people who were involved in the therapy. Everything is back to normal, Rufus is now pulling me along with his leash, just like the old times.

The Animal Fitness Center has been a great help to me and Rufus. We were in good hands. Dr. Ava Frick and her team were able to determine what the problem was and provided the necessary treatment for Rufus. Not mask it behind traditional animal pain relief, like most other veterinarians do. Dr. Ava Frick has the skills, experience and tools to work miracles.

As your dog ages it is not unusual for him to slow down a little; but only a little. The gradual decline of activity, and interest in activity, are signals that your pet may be experiencing joint pain as a result of arthritis. Joint issues are a very common problem affecting over 12 million dogs, especially older and large dogs. Dismissing your dog's symptoms as normal aging could be allowing your dog to suffer needlessly. Pain relief for dogs experiencing joint pain and mobility problems can be effectively managed. Arthritis is a chronic disease that requires life long treatment.

What does arthritis for dogs mean? The hip, knee and ankle joints in pets are the joints most commonly affected by the deterioration of cartilage. Cartilage is the spongy, protective cushion between the bones where joints meet. When the cartilage begins to break down, that is, to disintegrate, the condition is known as arthritis. As the cartilage wears away, the bones begin to rub together, which causes inflammation, pain and stiffness, and in advanced cases, lameness.

Your beloved pet can't explain what's wrong with him or if he's in pain. So, how do you know if your pet is experiencing arthritic problems and pain? You need to watch for the non-verbal clues and take behavior changes seriously. Here are a few of the classic symptoms of arthritis for dogs:

* Exhibits obvious slowness or stiffness on stairs

* Resists jumping up into a car or on furniture

* Tiring easily during walks or walking more slowly than usual

* Taking longer to get moving after resting or sleep

* Lies down rather than sits or stands

* Favoring a limb

These are only a few symptoms you may notice in your pet, but there are other, subtle indications in behavior that could also be pointing towards joint pain. Your pet could be sleeping more than usual, gaining weight, being less alert and showing less interest or enthusiasm for play and going for walks. If your dog seems to have symptoms for more than 2 weeks, it is time to take him for an arthritis evaluation by your veterinarian. The best thing you can do for your pet is to get a diagnosis and begin a prescribed arthritis treatment for dogs plan of management.

Commonly prescribed pain medications for dogs with arthritis are NSAIDS; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These alleviate pain, as the name implies, but another more important part of your pet's treatment may include supplements that support good joint health and good health in general. Glucosamine and chondroitin are over the counter supplements that are known to promote healthy joints, but buy the supplements that are intended for your pet! Do not feed them human supplements. Your pet's needs are different. A good diet is essential, including Omega fatty acids and fiber. Your pet may need to lose some weight to relieve extra stress on painful joints. Your veterinarian may suggest additional courses of treatment to get your pet back to his/her old self.

Exercise is also a prescribed treatment in arthritis for dogs. Low impact exercises will keep the joints mobile and build muscle without causing undue strain on the joints themselves. The key is 'motion'. Your dog has to be kept mobile to stay healthy. Daily, low impact exercises, like leash walking and swimming, will provide range of movement activities to help prevent the joints from becoming stiff from lack of use. Like people, your pet should have a muscle warm up before more strenuous exercise. If the weather is cold and damp, which can cause muscles to be stiff, give him/her a warm up inside before out of doors exercises. And always provide your pet with a warm, dry and comfortable place to sleep and rest.

Massage and physical therapy are an acknowledged arthritis treatment for dogs. If prescribed, the veterinary staff will show you how to perform specific physical therapy treatment for your pet at home. Massage is something you can practice regularly at home to relax your pet's stiff muscles and joints, and promote a better range of motion. If you have never massaged your dog before, think of it as petting with a little more gentle pressure in the afflicted sore areas. Begin in a warm, relaxed and safe environment. Relax your dog by petting the joint area and then gradually knead the area with your fingertips in a small, circular motion. You could use massage as the beginning to an indoor warm up before taking your pet outside for a leash walk.

Overall, you want to work closely with your veterinarian to manage your dog's arthritic condition. Your goal is to provide the best treatment and supportive lifestyle that will decrease the degeneration of the cartilage between joints, alleviate joint pain, and keep your pet as healthy as possible. Remember, arthritis doesn't go away, but effective, managed arthritis treatment for dogs can ensure that you will both enjoy the coming years together.

Horse joint pain is something that has never crossed my mind. I have a horse Semper and never really thought about him getting sick or experiencing pain. When my beautiful pet Semper seemed to be aching, I had no clue where to begin. Fortunately I came across the Animal Fitness Center website of Dr. Ava Frick. I learned that animals, even horses, can be susceptible to diseases and illnesses that are also experienced by humans. If I did not take my equine to Dr. Ava Frick so soon he might of had horse paralysis and I would have never forgiven myself.

Ava Frick explained that horse joint pain is actually pretty common once they become over 15 years in age. Just like us, their tendons can wear down and ache in cold weather. I have had Semper since I was 14 and am realizing that he is growing old too and experiencing horse arthritis and stiffness and swelling. I had not noticed that he was in so much pain and had been suffering for quite some time already. I still let him endure hours of practice and even burden him with too much physical activity as I ride him to go around our farm every day.

Equine joint pain is usually treated with medications and drugs. I know that pain medication and drugs can be harmful to my horses organs. I really just wanted to make sure Semper was treated with alternatives to medication. Good thing Dr. Ava Frick also supports different types of therapy and pain management programs that are all natural. Another thing I liked about Animal Fitness Center is their holistic approach to easing discomfort and pain of animals. They are not only concerned about eradicating pain using gadgets and devices, but they are also concerned of the proper nutrition needed to hasten the recuperation of the problems and diseases of the animals in their clinic. I was truly relieved to see how my horse was cared for during his stay at the Animal Fitness Center.

I really appreciate the animal chiropractic care that Dr. Ava Frick was able to provide for my horse. Treating an animals condition in this matter targets the actual problem and doesn't just mask the symptoms. Medication can treat horse joint pain but it doesn't treat the problem just the pain felt from it. Aside from massage therapy, my horse was also subjected to PST Vet (Pulsed Signal Therapy), which is a non invasive type of pain management that not only helps alleviate pain but also boosts the functionality of problematic areas. Within a few weeks of care at Ava Frick's Animal Fitness Center, Semper showed great improvement.
