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.

Ringworm is a fungus that is not all that hard to treat if caught in the early stages of first becoming infected. It seems that pet ringworm is the hardest and sometimes the most diffucult to diagnose. Taking your pet to the vet usually make it easier, however some dogs and especially cats can carry the fungus on their fur and you not even know it. Not only do you have to clean and treat your pet but you also have to disinfect your home: furniture, your bedding if your pet sleeps with you, and not to exclude your air filters because the fungus can recirculate in the air ducts. I have included some testimonials from a few Happy Customers that have used our ringworm products on their beloved pets and have gotten exceptional results.

 ”I have purchased and used PetsBestRx ringworm products prior to my current purchase. I have found your products to be very fast and very effective. .I found that using the spray only once daily proved sufficient. I also kept  checking on treated ringworm lesions with a Woods lamp and was amazed that after just one treatment on affected areas the fluoresce of ringworm was greatly diminished, in three days of once daily treatments on young kittens there was no fluorescence, only a clean circle where the ringworm had been. The ringworm has not reappeared again.” -Diane

 ”I am very happy with the service and products I have purchased from you in the past and I’m sure I will continue purchasing your products in the future. Please note that I was extremely satisfied with the cream’s effectiveness and that is why I had ordered more (in case).  I did not need to open the second jar until 2 days ago as I had some left over from the previous order.  As I run a private shelter on my own with 45 plus cats.  I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it highly to anyone. ” – Joanne 

Helping our customers with their ringworm treatment is the most important value that we have here at Q-Based Healthcare.

Mr. Wiggles is a gray, short haired Chihuahua that has been a part of the Jones’ Family for five years. They were extrememly concerned about Mr. Wiggles’ health because he was losing his and and had open sores from scratching all the time. He was not sleeping or eating as he used to. This was putting a strain on the whole family and they needed to get him some itch relief. It had been an issue for them for the past year and after thousands of dollars in vet bills and medications to treat several different diagnosis and treatments. They finally decided to contact our company and try our mange products.

Mr. Wiggles was experiencing a lot of the symptoms of mange in dogs. I suggested for the Jones’ to try one of our mange treatment kits and our immune booster vitamins. He had a septic smell to him so they started his treatment by bathing him for five days straight to erradicate any bacterial infection from his skin. Mr. Jones called me several days into the bathing and vitamin treatment to let me know how much better his skin was looking and how Mr. Wiggles was playing around a lot more.

Mr. Jones called me again a couple of days later and was very eager and excited to continue the treatment with the rest of his products. It was now time for them to start treating with the PetsBestRx Mitactin Spray and Sulfinex Cream. I informed him to spray Mr. Wiggles lightly with the Mitactin Spray on the first day and then to apply a light layer of the Sulfinex cream the next day but only in active areas. He repeated these steps daily, once in the morning and once at night for the first week. I told Mr. Jones to make sure and contact me if he had any other questions and to let me know the progress of his dog’s mange treatment.

The first week’s update was filled with tears, joy and excitement. The mange products were working very well for them and Mr. Wiggles was back to his playful and energetic self again. The open sores and lesions were healing and he was no longer scratching. Mr. Jones and his dog were both sleeping a whole lot better at night. Mr. Jones called again on the third week of treatment to let me know the hair was finally growing back. He was so excited they finally found something that actually worked for them.

Mange is a very serious topic to talk about. The majority of our calls are from pet owners about mange. When I hear pet owners talk about mange, it makes my heart go out to them. As we know, our pets are a part of our family and our best friend. So when our pets get sick, you can feel their pain as if they were your child. They are part of our family. If your pet has Mange,their immune system is usually very low and they may have to fight other illnesses such as staph infections while also dealing with a mange mite infestation, so we have a product that helps to give your pet strength and can be used for cats and dogs, it is called PetsBestRx Mighty Vites. It is better known as a defense immune booster vitamin against sickness. We take pride when our pets are out going and active and very healthy. When taking these mighty vites, you can rest assured that the pet is on the way to recovery. I tell all of my customers about mighty vites especially when their pet has mange. Just to let you know the mighty vites is not just for mange it is used for any type of sickness or as a daily supplement to build the immun system or regain the luster in your pet’s coat. Our product is safe and  has natural.  One common cause of a lowered immune system in dogs or cats is stress.  Unlike people they can’t tell us what they are feeling.  This product can also help with toenail growth and with the bones tissue and other things.  I like this product because your dog can be less than 20 pounds and still use this product.  It also has different vitamins in it that can help with growth.  We all want our pets to be healthy and grow old. Besides our Mighty Vites, we do have other products that work for mange or on other types of sicknesses or diseases. Especially our pet wash, it can be used if the pet has a smell or just to heal sores.  Watch and see how your dog would love the petwash. Even though they can’t talk, they respond to the pet wash really well. We are not veterinarians,however we do have several vets that use our products for treatment, mainly we love to educate people and help with trouble shooting tips. We ask that you give our products an honest try and within seven days of receiving the products give us a call so we can see how the pet is responding to the products.

I got a call one day from a concerned pet lover about her dog that was diagnosed with a Staph infection. She said the dog had been dealing with this off and on for a little over a year. The dog had been in the hospital for an ailment and every since getting out of the hospital the dog had been battling staph infections mostly under the belly area and in between the creases of his hind legs. She stated she was tired of taking her dog to the vet to only be given antibiotic after antibiotic which nothing worked. She says she got online one night after returning from a vet visit crying trying to find something to help her baby because she couldn’t see him suffer anymore. Once Mrs. K was on our webpage she opted to speak with a customer service representative through our live chatting system. Just so happened she got me and we started discussing treatments concerning her dog and if our products would really kill the bacteria infection without her dog having to taking anything orally. She said her dog’s symptoms were a greenish puss color substance coming from the sores on the dog’s under belly and had a really bad odor. I advised customer our products were very good, were non toxic and they would not compromise her dog’s immune system but that we also had a product that would give a boost to the dog’s immune system. She was very intrigued because her dog’s vet had been telling her the whole time that it would have to be taken care of with antibiotics. Her initial order was for the Staph combo for $39.95 which includes our Pet wash, Healing spray and Healing gel. Customer called in exactly a week later stating the smell had completely gone, the affected areas that were oozing with the green goo was now starting to scab over. Customer placed an order for our disinfectant spray and our Might Vites for her dog that day because she says she was scared that the product wouldn’t work and she didn’t want to start off buying too many products. Mrs. K says her dog now is more vibrant and happy, the sore areas are scabbed over and almost completely healed up after about 3 weeks of using the products. She says she mists the disinfectant spray daily on her dog’s bedding and favorite spot on the couch. She also stated that besides the products working for her dog and clearing up the staph infection she also loves that her dog is enjoying taking the vitamins because before he would eat all around any type of vitamins she would give him or she would have to force them down his throat.
