Once a muscle or joint is injured, regular exercise is typically the key to rehabilitation. But when pain limits a body's ability to exercise, the healing process takes longer. Biofreeze products help break this pain cycle, by relieving pain through a method known as Gate Control, or gating.. In the gating process, menthol acts to stimulate specific sensory receptors in the skin, thereby blocking other receptors from sending pain signals to the brain.
A lack of fiber in the diet is a big problem for constipation in dogs, dog loose stool and diarrhea. Dog stool should be moist, firm and free of blood and worms that resemble pieces of rice in the stool. Itâs normal to see a trace amount of blood in dog stool occasionally.
Another staple of my stool-firming arsenal is powdered acidophilus. I use Pet Dophilus by Jarrow, the same brand I take every day, and have found that hiding the powder in a large dogâs canned food at every meal works wonders to firm up even the softest stool.
