Over the last few months I’ve been dealing with my sweet canine boy, Shadrach’s ailments that I feel I brought about. Yes, he was a horribly physically abused puppy, nearly starved to death when he came home with us. While I knew about natural care for humans, my natural pet care was lacking but Shadrach has taught me much :-)

Over the years he’s taught me he only likes to eat raw meat and bones, and he prefers a natural preventive care not wrought with vaccines. He used to run from me when I tried to put topical flea & tick prevention on him and I don’t blame him one bit. As I learned and adapted, I went on a mission to share what I’ve learned with others which is why Aspenbloom Pet Care was born.

Shadrach suffered a fall last summer down an arroyo, and I had also been having him run with me on my daily run for a year. It’s not a good idea to run his particular breed, a Neo Mastiff. Well you add all these things together -abuse and malnourishment as a puppy, vaccines, kibble-fed (for a while), running, and the fall down the arroyo and now he has arthritis in his hips and right elbow. We’ve been on a journey to discover what will give me my youthful, sweet, funny, sassy dog back in place of the sleeping giant who is grumpy. Well we have it right here for you! Young Living has once again proven to me they have the absolutely BEST natural healing products on the market today! I’m not kidding -using ourselves and our Shadrach as guinea pigs is proof enough for me. So here is the protocol I use for him to relieve him of pain and to give him a quality of life I believe all our furred and feathered ones deserve:

Raw meat & bones twice a day with one drop of Di-Gize essential oil blend in the AM and one capsule of Longevity in the evening.This does should not be a permanent addition to your dog’s health care regimen. Just a resource to help get him back on track.

Fish Oil daily

One Traumeel (homeopathic/herbal remedy from his vet) tablet per day (for pain). Not something to use indefinitely, but for a time.

Two BLM capsules per day

Weekly Raindrop therapy. This might seem like a lot but natural care is about getting the immune system strong enough to take back over the job.

I also use a variety of essential oils on his hips and elbows which include (I switch them around) Panaway blend, Aroma Siez blend, Valor blend, Cypress, Clove, Wintergreen, and Pine and RC essential oil blend.

But the crowning glories that have brought me back my youthful puppy though are these two (and if I had to give all the others up, I’d keep these two:

ImmuPro by Young Living
ImmuPro
30 Tablets
One day of giving Shadrach this tablet and he was bouncing around like a puppy the very next day. Prior to that he was maintaining but not youthful. Here is what this product has in it and why I’m convinced it has helped:

Ningxia wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) polysaccharide, reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) myceliaª, maitake (Grifola frondosa) myceliaª, agaricus blazei myceliaª, arabinogalactin (larch tree extract)ª, limonene (from orange essential oil), melatonin, strawberry powderª, fructose, raspberry juice, pure lemon powder, stearic acid or virgin coconut oil and silica.

ImmuPro provides the benefits of natural immune-supporting polysaccharides, including beta glucan, in the convenience of a delicious fruit-flavored chewable supplement. Beta glucan has been shown in studies to enhance the immune system™ response and to help maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.* ImmuPro contains reishi and maitake mushrooms, which support the activity of antibodies and natural killer cells.* ImmuPro is the only immune supplement that includes the extra advantages of Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides.

ImmuPower by Young Living
ImmuPower
15 ML

And this most wonderful smelling essential oil blend I apply along his spine and hips twice a day. I don’t use as much of the other oils now that I have this one and oh the Cistus in it makes it smell heavenly, appropriately since it’s one of the oils of the Bible, better known there as the Rose of Sharon not to mention frankincense and hyssop. In fact, ALL the oils in this blend were heavily used during Biblical times. This has fast become my favorite blend on so many levels!!!

The ingredients are:

Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis), mountain savory (Satureja montana), cistus (Cistus ladanifer), ravensara (Ravensara aromatica), frankincense (Boswellia carteri), oregano (Origanum compactum), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and idaho tansy (Tanacetum vulgare).

ImmuPower™ is a powerful blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils that supports the body’s natural defenses through both diffusion and topical application. It contains oils that provide support for the immune, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems while helping to support healthy cell function.*
