“She'll go months now without having any at ALL.” Six a month, then none most months.

Some months five or six, some months one to three.

Brigitta is, in Julia's words, "a gorgeous 'Dal Gal' that we brought home after adopting her at the age of one-year." A few months later she had her first seizure. From then on they came and went: "some months she'd have cluster seizures of 5 or 6 and some months 1-3."

Then the family found the Antioxidant Treats, and, as Julia puts it, the great folks at Nzymes. "She'll go months now without having any at ALL; and if she does she'll maybe only have 2 in a row at most. And that's so manageable compared to what it used to be like."

A household that knows her triggers.

Sensitive dogs can react to loud noises, bright lights, camera flashes, even thunder and lightning. Julia learned that the hard way: one flash photo "almost made her bounce off the wall one time." So the family made a plan and stuck to it.

"We keep a small chair with a large pillow in front of her while she's cuddling on the sofa during TV hours with us. However, if a show is very loud or flashy, she goes to the bedroom. And of course, NO flash photography, please!"

They also watch for the aura, the restless spell before a seizure. "If she is agitated now during the night and in the pre-seizure phase called the 'aura', either my husband or I will give her a bear hug and massage her vigorously. Taking her outside for a potty break into the yard will also re-set the brain before the impending doom. Anything to re-set her nervous system."

When a seizure does break through, the steps are the same every time: stay calm, and keep your dog somewhere safe from falls and hard edges. For the full list of common triggers at home, start with What Causes Seizures in Dogs?.

No phenobarbital, and no blood tests to go with it.

"We very highly recommend Nzymes to anyone because you can't beat excellent products at a fair price. It's done wonders for our family. We even give it to our other Dal-Gal, Jolie just to keep her healthy too."

Julia was relieved not to need phenobarbital, or the blood tests that come with it. "It's a relief that we don't have to drug our dog and monitor levels of phenobarbital in her blood (expensive). And the Nzymes Antioxidant Treats don't damage the liver or kidneys. What more could a pet owner ask for?"

If your dog is already on an anti-convulsant, don't stop or change it on your own. The Treats can begin while your dog is still on medication, and many of the families we work with do both as they gradually step down. If that is where you are, book a free consultation and we will talk it through with you.
