Our Products work wonders for Cat Mange too

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Although Mange is more prominent in dogs, our Mange Treatment Products work wonders on cat mange as well. We were able to help Diana J. who had an outbreak of Demodex Gatoi with her 3 cats.

Diana wrote, “I have 3 cats all about 1 1/2 years old. The have just been diagonosed with Demodex Gatoi. 2 have licked half the hair off their bodies. I believe this came from the breeder. My other cat from a shelter did not have this but she is now itching. They all have it. Thank god they are all declawed front and back or they would have ripped open their skin. I am suppose to start them on a Lymdyp Spray which smells awful. I was wondering if you product would help with this as this form of Demodex is not as common as some of the other types.The are also getting injections of invermectin. ”

We were able to provide Diana J. with the products designed to help with this particular kind of cat mange outbreaks. Our Sulifnex Cream teamed with our Pet Healing & Protection Spray designed to be gentle enough for cats will help heal and eliminate the Mange for all of Diana’s cats.

We were also able to provide Diana with information regarding the toxic treatments she was currently using for her cat’s mange. Ivermectin injections can be very toxic and harmful to your cat’s health. In some cases these injections do more harm than good. It’s important to use a non-toxic treatment and boost your pet’s immune system when treating mange.

Mitactin Spray : New Name, Same Effective Formula

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Our popular formula, PetsBestRx Mitactin Spray, has a new name — two actually. This multi-funtional formula works wonders for treating ears ravished by damaging ear mites as well as inflamed skin damaged by mange mites. Now available as Ear Wash Treatment Spray or Mange Treatment Spray, our PetsBestRx Mitactin Spray is still the same effective formula it has always been, but with a new and improved name and label.

Mange and Ear Mites continue to be two of the leading ailments our pets can contract. Sometimes with little to no warning our pets can become sick, just like family members. They need their owners help to stay healthy, and PetsBestRx is dedicated to continuing to provide quality, non-toxic products like Ear Wash Treatment Spray and Mange Treatment Spray. Our formulas are non-toxic and unique to the pet care market.

We strive to make non-toxic products for pet health care that bring relief to pets. Many pet health care products for ear and mange mites contain pesticides and can hurt your pet even worse than harmful mites. These products prey on the fact that your pet cannot tell you these products are making things worse.  PetsBestRx products give you the peace of mind you need to know you are helping your dog or cat feel better and regain their spunk.

Non-Toxic, Pesticide-Free Mange Treatment Spray and Ear Wash Treatment Spray allow your pet to heal properly and completely. Other products that contain pesticides leak dangerous toxins into your pets body and lengthen, delay or stop the healing process. Some products can actually be deadly if they get into the blood stream, which is not uncommon with open-sore wounds.

Show your pet how much you care and give them the relief they need and deserve with a non-toxic solution to Mange and Ear Mites. Learn more about Mange Treatment Spray, Ear Wash Treatment Spray or PetsBestRx.

Pet life savers against mange

Monday, April 13th, 2009

My second week at Q-Based Healthcare was really interesting.  I got to participate and watch many demonstrations on how our products actually work. I’ve listen to many of our customers express their joy of how  our products helped them relieved their  itching and promoted healing of their skin. They mentioned how our  De-Stroy Pest Control Eco-Dust helped them get rid of many pest such as bed bugs, ants, scabies mites, lice, and even fleas. I’ve also listened to many pet owners call and purchase more products for their pets. They were saying how they love to give their pets Mighty Vites to help boost their cat’s or dog’s immunity. Other pet owners mentioned about how our products saved their pet’s life from mange to staph infection or even ringworm. It’s a good feeling to know that Q-Based is a place to turn to for help with each one of these issues and more.  I once had a Doberman pincher name Titan. When I first got him the Vet told me he had Mange, Worms, and Staph. I bought everything from medicated shampoo to prescription medicines. It literally cost me hundreds of dollars. I got rid of the worms. I was still battling the Staph and Mange problems. I couldn’t afford to take care of  Titan anymore or even bring him around my kids. I eventually had to give him away to a loving couple.  I told them of the problem he had and gave them the medicine  and shampoo I still had left. If  I had known of  PetsBestRx products before, Titan would still be a part of our family. I would have treated him with the Pet’sBestRx products and saved a ton of money. I’ve recently purchase the Pet’sBestRx Pet Wash for my yorkie. It not only help  soften his coat it helped in getting rid of  fleas and other bacteria.  He even smells great. The Pet Wash can not be used on cats. It is safe and non- toxic for dogs and safe for humans to touch. I also have a bottle of the  healing and protection spray. The PetsBestRx Healing and Protection Spray is a powerful antibacterial spray that creates a barrier to protect the skin and coat against infections and ringworm. I used the spray to protect my yorkie and prevent him from bringing anything near my kids. I’m glad to now be a part of the Q-Based family.

Pine Oil and Cats

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

More people have been asking about the pine oil dosage in our PetsBestRx Sulfinex cream. This was written by the President of Q-Based Healthcare, Joseph Marquardt, addressing the concerns of our customers.

“We here at Pets’BestRx are greatly concerned about the safety of our veterinary products, for cats in particular as they have very sensitive systems.

It has been determined by various Veterinary agencies that the toxic dose for pine oil, when ingested, to cats and dogs is 0.5 – 1.1 ml per pound of body weight and lower amounts may cause serious damage.  The average year old cat weights approx 5 pounds( and some are much larger) so this would mean the minimum toxic dose to be around 2.5 ml.  There are approx. 50 doses in a 2 oz. jar for Sulfinex when applied to a cat.  Each dose of Sulfinex contains approx. 0.024 ml of pine oil or less than 1.0% of the minimum toxic dose. Remember the above assumes direct oral ingestion into the GI tract.

Pets’BestRx has treated thousands of dogs and cats for mange and ringworm and we know of no reported cases of pine oil poisoning since we developed our Sulfinex cream nearly 3 years ago.  We believe that Sulfinex when properly applied, per our regimen, has proven to be very safe to use even for cats and the benefits of micro doses of pine oil far outweigh any potential harm.”

We have written our regimens for pet ringworm and pet mange to explain that the PetsBestRx Sulfinex is to be applied to the skin very ligthly. It also states the excess cream that may get on the fur should be wiped off with a cloth or papertowel that could be thrown away. We normally suggest holding your cat and rubbing the cream into the spot for at least a minute to make sure all of the cream is absorbed in the skin and cannot be ingested by your cat if he or she chooses to lick the cream. Another suggestion that we have is to purchase a cone collar to put on your pet for about an hour after ringworm or mange treatment because it is natural for them to want to lick the area. Your pet’s safety is our main concern.

Mange in Cats

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Most cat lovers know that mange can devastate the health of their feline.

Scabies or mange in felines is caused by mites that are very small.  These mites are otherwise known as Notoedres cati. These mites cause the same symptoms and ichyness in cats as the sarcoptic mange mites do in the dogs. The treatments for these mites and the ones in dogs are almost the same, as are the life cycles of these blood-seeking insects.

Mange can affect all types of cats, no matter how old the cat is. It can affect both female and male cats and can even affect an entire litter of kittens at once. However, research has found that it is more common in outdoor cats so if you have a cat and you are worried about scabies, don’t let your cat go outside. Mange can also affect dogs, foxes and also rabbits.

The symptoms of mites in cats will normally spread with the itching and losing tufts of fur, the itching itself will start on the cats ears and quickly escalate to the rest of the cats body. As this disease gets worse and advances more that cat’s skin will become yellowish and thick, there will be yellowish crusts popping up all over the cats body. This often leads to self mutilation in many cats, they will literally scratch themselves to death. Cat mange also affects the cat’s lymph nodes by causing them to become enlarged.

You might be wondering just how scabies is treated in felines, well, the notoedres mite can be killed by topical application of products like Pet’s Best Rx “Cat Safe” Mange Packs. It’s not a good idea to use the same mange treatment that you would use on a dog because many of these products are not safe to use on a cat with mange.

One shaky home remedy includes shaving your cat and applying a lime sulfur dip rubbed on the cats entire body, of course, you would most likely have to sedate the cat to be able to do all of this as cats don’t like water and surely it would flip out at the sound of a pair of clippers.

Research has shown the most effective treatment for cat mange is a tea-tree oil free product like the one sold at Pet’s Best Rx.
