Kidney Health For Pets

Sophie

"Meet Sophie a 4 lb ball of awesomeness. She is a 7yr old Silver Persian. She seemed to be doing fine, living her best life with a don’t care attitude until one night she had a series of seizures, needless to say we were quite scared watching this happen. We got her in the vet first thing in the morning and she was diagnosed with late stage 3 early stage 4 kidney disease, we were devastated. We took her in for a second opinion, same diagnosis. Now it was time to understand what this meant to our family and how to help Soph with her quality of life. That is when I found Ask Ariel, while not a silver bullet it was a homeopathic approach to help our girl out. It was exactly what we needed, we started using the Renelix, Kidney Health, Omega 3 and probiotic products along with a transition to a 100% wet food diet and within 2 weeks we had our “OLD” Sophie back, that is when we realized that we did not truly understand how long she had been fighting this problem. At her 6 week follow-up she seemed to have settled into a late stage 2 to early stage 3 level of kidney disease, while Kidney Disease is not curable, I really believe that these products are helping our girl get back to living her best life. 3 months later she is maintaining weight, has a very healthy appetite, tons of energy, sparkling blue eyes and most of all back to being her awesome self." - Craig, Arizona

Ellie, Flower, Lilly & Raven

"Ask Ariel products are a staple in our house of 4 rescues. All of our girls take Power Probiotic as part and parcel of what they eat on a daily basis - I can't imagine them not taking it. Their coats are shiny, their eyes are bright, their stools are well formed and they are all at healthy weights.

Ellie, our 8 year old, was diagnosed earlier this year with kidney values on the high side. I immediately reached out to Ask Ariel for help and put her on Kidney Health, Co Q-10 and Renelix. I was extremely pleased to see at Ellie's 6 month blood recheck her creatinine levels started to drop! Raven, our 7 year old, has some urinary issues, so she takes LypoZyme as well as Renelix.

It's reassuring to know all of our girls - even our 2 year olds, Flower and Lilly, benefit from a holistic approach to their care. As long as Ask Ariel offers products, our family will be customers! Thank you for helping our family stay healthy!" - Debbie, California

Buster

"This is my sweet boy Buster! He is an 11-year-old Cavachon. About a year ago he pretty much stopped eating and got very lethargic. He started marking everything in the house and drinking quite a bit more than he normally would. Once we found out that he had chronic kidney disease we were told to switch him over to a prescription wet food. When I found you guys online, I opted to put him on the Kidney Health and the Power Probiotic. Also, my two other senior dogs get the Power Probiotic and I believe it is helping them too. Anyways he is eating and super excited to eat now and very rarely vomits and his labs have returned back to normal! I feel very blessed to have found you guys!" - Stacy, Colorado

Scruffles

"This is Scruffles. She was diagnosed with PLE 3 years ago. I’ve been giving her supplements from AskAriel.com and she’s doing fine. I give all the credit to the supplements that I give her that I get from AskAriel.com. She’ll be turning 9 in April and I’m looking forward to Scruffles having many more birthdays." - Shelby, Tennessee

Products Scruffles uses are: Power Probiotic, Kidney Health Support, LypoZyme and Purrfect Pet CoQ10

Miss Sadie

"This is Miss Sadie AKA Sadie lady Princess. She uses Power Probiotic, NOT Drops, QUENT Drops and Kidney Health. She eats rabbit per the suggestion of Ask Ariel due to her Chicken allergy. We absolutely love all the products, they have helped Sadie so much, poor little girl has so much going on with her health from asthma, allergies, kidney failure and hyperthyroidism. We are truly grateful to have Ask Ariel in our life. Her quality of life has improved so much and that’s what it’s all about." - Allyn, Florida

Annie

"I am convinced that Ask Ariel’s products improved my dog’s quality of life and helped give me extra time with her. Annie was a beautiful and spirited poodle mix whom I rescued from the local shelter when she was estimated to be age 13 or 14. I went on to enjoy many adventures with her over the next 3.5 years. Annie braved three surgeries (inguinal hernia removal, mast cell tumor removal, and a splenectomy), cirrhosis of the liver, renal disease, and suspected cancer at the very end.

I tried numerous diets and products while caring for Annie, but I always returned to Ask Ariel’s supplements. She just seemed to do better while using them. Additionally, I felt confident that Susan Davis of Ask Ariel had extensively vetted her products. I could trust that they were potent and effective. Shipping was fast and communications with the Ask Ariel team were always timely and on-point.

Annie used the following Ask Ariel supplements at various times with impressive results: AllerEaze for Pets, Power Probiotic (a daily must-have, even in the absence of disease), Immune Harmony, Kidney Health - Protein Support For Pets, Liver & Gallbladder Supplement For Pets, Lypozyme, NotaSAN Anti-Infection Formula, OxiCell SE for Pets, Resveratrol for Dogs.

I have found that most veterinarians are not trained to make recommendations on nutrition and non-prescription supplementation. I have learned a lot just by reading Ask Ariel’s website and blog posts. Thanks to high-quality nutrition and Ask Ariel’s products, Annie thrived. We enjoyed many happy and healthy days together. Next year I hope to adopt another dog and use Ask Ariel’s supplements again for my pet’s optimal health and wellness." - Kelly Nardoni, Author, The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow: Love and Hope From A Senior Rescue Dog, www.kellynardoni.com

Romo

"My precious Romo passed away. Romo lived to be 10 years old despite having a tough start. He was 4 months old when I rescued him. He had Giardia, had been bitten on his leg which caused an infection, and he had a seroma from his vaccinations since they gave him all his vaccinations at the time he was neutered. Romo was a very loving, kind and extremely smart dog. He developed dilated cardiomyopathy and kidney disease when he was about 5 years old. I changed his diet to homemade and started him on a supplement regimen which include the following products from Ask Ariel: Purrfect Pet CoQ10, Power Probiotic, Kidney Health Support, Resveratrol for Dogs and Renelix.

I believe the supplements and changing his food slowed down the progression of his heart disease and I was able to reverse his kidney disease. His kidney function and kidney values returned to normal. His vets said he had kidneys of steel. His heart disease and kidney disease I feel did not contribute to him passing away, all blood work was normal and heart was stable. We don't know the reason for his passing, but I miss him every day and my love for this special dog will never die. Love you Romo, you will never be forgotten." - Cindy, Illinois

Bella

"I credit the Ask Ariel website for educating my family on the vital role proper nutrition and supplementation play in helping our pets live their best lives. Bella, my 14 year old poodle, has food and environmental allergies and now a Grade IV heart murmur. Yet she is thriving with a high-quality freeze-dried diet in the morning and a homemade mix of fish and veggies at night, along with the following Ask Ariel supplements of: Power Probiotic, AllerEaze, Purrfect Pet CoQ10, Liver Support, LypoZyme, and Kidney Health.

Whenever I encounter pet owners looking for ways to improve their animal companions’ health and quality of life, I refer them to Ask Ariel’s website for comprehensive information and high-quality products." - Brenda, California

Henry Higgins

"We rescued Henry as a puppy when he was abandoned in a rest area in Nevada. He had such a happy life until around year 12 when he stopped wanting to eat. The vet said he was in the early stages of kidney disease and his liver was also not well. My vet recommended I look into the AskAriel site. I started feeding Henry fresh cooked meats and vegetables. I also started him on Kidney Health and LypoZyme, as well as Power Probiotic. Within 3 months all his bloodwork and urinalysis numbers were back in normal range.

It’s been almost a year now and his bloodwork and urinalysis continue to be perfect and Henry is celebrating 14 years old....we think! Thank you Ask Ariel for helping bring our beloved friend back to health!" - Candiss & Rodger, Arizona

Bianca

"I am very happy with your products. In 2016, Bianca had her teeth cleaned and it caused partial damage to her trachea. It was so bad that the medicine they put her on wasn't helping. That's when someone from Facebook told me about your company and your Ultra-Flex Collagen Product. It worked miracles for Bianca and she was able to get off the other medicine. In 2018, she developed kidney disease. I purchased your Kidney Health and Bianca was tested again and her kidney function has improved. That is amazing! I am so grateful for your company and knowledge." - Shelly, Arizona

Roo

"Our baby Roo has had kidney disease since she was 5 years old. That was when I first found AskAriel.com in 2009. When we started Roo on Renelix and Kidney Health, her numbers improved and she got much more active. Over the years, as she has had additional digestive and stomach symptoms, we contacted you, and adjusted her diet and have added Power Probiotic, Soothing Digestive Relief and Gastro ULC. It is now 8 years later, Roo is 13, and she is doing well. When we do her blood tests, the numbers are usually just barely out of normal or just within normal range, and her urine tests show she is concentrating her urine well. She still plays with her toys, her favorites being the mylar balls and little mice that come in your packages. I don’t think she would have made it to this age without your products and your help." - Pat & Tim, Pennsylvania

Pretty Boy

"I'm writing to tell you that with the help of your supplements, my dog Pretty Boy just turned 17! About four years ago, Pretty Boy started experiencing a chronic cough. At the time, he was taking supplements from another company. He was diagnosed with heart disease and put on conventional medication. I continued with the supplements previously mentioned but I wasn't satisfied with the quality so I decided to search for another source. That's when I found Ask Ariel. Pretty Boy is taking Power Probiotic, Amazing Omegas, Gastro ULC, LypoZyme, Soothing Digestive Relief (when necessary) Dog Brain Booster, Kidney Health, Renelix, Purrfect Pet COQ10, along with his conventional medications to address his heart condition, kidney disease and chronic pancreatitis. Although this seems like a lot of supplements, the combination (with my holistic vet's approval) works well for him and keeps him full of energy. The supplements are all very high quality and with patience and time, really do work. My favorite is the Gastro ULC. Within a couple of weeks, I was able to wean him off of his twice daily administration of Pepcid for his acid stomach due to kidney disease. His digestive woes have all been diminished with the addition of the LypoZyme and Power Probiotic. Thank you for always taking the time to answer my many emails and for your suggestions. My resilient little man means the world to me and I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep him healthy and happy." - Erin, New York

Winston Boone

"We adopted Winston Boone at 3 months of age the day before Thanksgiving in 2007. He has the most beautiful big green eyes and is Mister Mellow. He is my lap kitty each night and has that male cat swagger when he walks. He is also the feline sentry of our house, always to be found in a high level, central location. Winston has been taking AskAriel formulas for the treatment of early stage kidney disease for ten months. He is a changed feline. He is now the perfect weight, loving and playful, and very much ‘present’. We love him! Our thanks to AskAriel for Power Probiotic, Purrfect Co-Q10, Kidney Health, and Renelix! These formulas have made such a positive difference in our Winston Boone." - Jana, Idaho

Zoe

"My beautiful, sweet, soon-to-be 13 year old "baby" girl Zoe is thriving thanks to Ask Ariel supplements. She was diagnosed with a kidney issue over a year ago and today her numbers improved and she is enjoying life. She is my fierce loyal companion. Thanks to Ask Ariel I am sure we will have many more years of memories together. Thank you for giving us both renewed hope!" - Claudia, Georgia

Products used: Power Probiotic, Kidney Health, Ultra-Flex, Purrfect Pet CoQ10

Sprocket

"When she was four years old, Sprocket was diagnosed with Microvascular Liver Dysplasia which was not correctable through surgery, and we were told she would only live maybe two more years. We were very concerned about how to give her a good quality of life. We wanted to use natural treatments as much as possible and found Ask Ariel. Ask Ariel provided us with a diet suggestion and supplements that have kept Sprocket going strong. It is now 8 years that we have been following this regimen for Sprocket and it has been wonderful to see how well she is doing. The Ask Ariel supplements we have given her for liver support are: Kidney Health (as well as another liver support supplement from the vet) and fish oil. As she got older and started limping, we started her on K9 CurcuMagic, ArthroSoothe and Ultra-Flex for her collapsing trachea. Sprocket is feeling well and we are so happy we took this holistic approach. We sincerely believe that Sprocket has the looks and life that she does due to her diet and supplements from Ask Ariel."

UPDATE: "A few years after we’d been giving Sprocket her supplements from Ask Ariel, Sprocket found, and ate, some rat poison at a ranch. The vet said that her diet helped push it through her system and that no doubt, the supplements that she was taking, helped. Although she did have to take medication for the poison, I am certain that her supplement regimen was helpful in keeping her healthy and safe from the medication. A few months later when she had her liver enzymes tested, after the results came in, her vet said: 'If I didn’t know otherwise, I would say that this is a normal healthy dog.' You can only imagine our relief and happiness at hearing that news, and we have Ask Ariel to thank for helping Sprocket live a healthy life." - M. Matsumoto, New Mexico

Molly

"Molly, our 13 year old black lab was diagnosed with kidney disease and was given a few months to live. She had been healthy most of her life and my husband and I were stunned with the diagnosis. In addition to her kidney disease, her legs were getting weak from arthritis and she was also starting to show signs of dementia. Needless to say, we were not optimistic about her future. That weekend, we went to the Pet Expo in Baltimore and were lucky enough to talk to a vendor who recommended we contact AskAriel.com. We used Renelix and the Kidney Health Formula for her kidney disease in addition to the Amazing Omegas and used the diet that was recommended for her. We've been treating her with the supplements in addition to administering sub-q fluids and 5 months later Molly is still eating, drinking and very much full of life. We know that she is still with us because of Susan Davis' (Ask Ariel Pet Nutritionist) expertise, compassion and arsenal of supplements. We are so grateful we found Susan and AskAriel and have already started our younger dog, Brandy on the Amazing Omegas." - Jennifer, Maryland

Petals

"My cat, Petals, was diagnosed with renal failure from her blood work. And, indeed, she was urinating frequently. After I had her teeth cleaned under general anesthesia, she seemed worse. By worse, I mean, she was urinating lots more, thereby drinking more water to quench her thirst. Even though I fed her raw food for cats with good results, Petals craved her favorite treat and I gave it to her not knowing that it contained high crude protein. She began vomiting her meals and grew weak and listless. I thought she was going to die. For two days she could hardly walk while I kept her hydrated with an eye dropper. I began making funeral plans in my mind--basically wondering at what point should I take her to my vet to put her under. Then my order of Kidney Health from Ask Ariel arrived. I had decided to order it as a last ditch effort, wondering if its power to help kidneys flush out toxins would help my cuddly pet. And help it did! It was like night and day. Within hours she was eating and not coughing up her wet food. Better yet, she was drinking water on her own and getting stronger. Today she does not urinate excessively. She acts like a healthy cat with a great appetite! Because she is 18 years old, I have learned to buy all foods and treats with low protein; and I give her Kidney Health daily. I believe I'll have my little companion around for an even longer time! Thank you, Ariel! Bless you!" - Alice

Bodie

"Our black lab Bodie, turns 16 on Monday. Bodie has had lifelong skin problems and stomach issues, and with his age, has elevated kidney levels. We started Bodie on Ask Ariel's regimen when he was just a pup. We have tapped into Susan’s expertise & products for over 15 years & have been so happy with her knowledge & love of animals. Ask Ariel's Kidney Health, Renelix, K9 Digestive, Power Probiotics, & Amazing Omegas have helped support Bodie’s improvement so much." - Linda, California

Bella

"Hi, friends. Bella the poodle here to let you know that I’m in LOVE…with Ask Ariel Your Pet Nutritionist's supplements! I have been a customer since I was a year old. I’ll be 15 in August and, even with a Grade IV heart murmur, I run through my indoor agility course every day and look forward to walks around the neighborhood. I attribute my wellness and active lifestyle to lots of love, a healthy diet, and Ask Ariel’s supplements that support all of my major organs. My family always looks forward to reading Ask Ariel’s blog posts to learn more about how to provide great care for me so I can live my best life. Here’s wishing everyone a beautiful Valentine’s Day!" - Nardoni Family, California

Bella uses the following products from Ask Ariel: Kidney Health, Purrfect Pet CoQ10, Liver Support, Power Probiotic, LypoZyme

Rocky

" Our cat--Rocky (almost 17) benefits so much from the Kidney Health and Renelix. We can tell a huge difference. He also uses several of the other products like NOT Drops and QUENT Drops when he is shedding the FCV virus. We could not live without this website and wonderful products. Worth every penny and the products last a long time." - Deborah, North Carolina

Topper

"Topper passed on yesterday at the age of 15. I wanted to thank Ask Ariel for helping Topper and myself over the last two years with his kidney failure. Their knowledge allowed for the two of us to enjoy 2 more wonderful years that otherwise never would have happened. For that I am eternally grateful. Topper never once complained about his new schedule of supplements and home cooked meals, and it allowed us to form an even stronger bond than we previously had that I never thought possible. He was surrounded by those that loved him, and I was able to be there comforting him at the end which is all I had ever asked for. He had taken care of me after my mom passed away from Cancer 14 years ago, and being able to finally take care of him when he needed it the last two years is a task that I embraced and welcomed each and every day." - Mark, Texas
