Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. The most obvious symptoms of cancer are tumors, smooth or bumpy, which can appear anywhere on the body and can be seen or felt, but a wide range of symptoms are possible, depending on the type of cancer.
Researchers have found that shark cartilage stops blood vessels from growing and feeding tumors. In clinical studies on the use of shark cartilage supplements, it was found that tumors did not grow larger than 2 millimeters in size, due to an antiangiogenesis effect, or a prohibiting of the growth of new blood vessels. Longlife for Dogs is made from 100% pure shark cartilage, and maximum absorption occurs. Longlife for Dogs is a helpful tool in the prevention of metastasis during or after chemotherapy and can be combined with chemotherapy to increase appetite and help protect the immune system. Longlife for Dogs and Longlife Canine Skin Supplement should be used as supportive supplements, not a substitute for quality care from a trusted veterinarian or oncologist.

Arthritis is a general term for abnormal changes in a joint. It can arise from joint tissue destruction subsequent to an infection, from congenital defects affecting structural architecture, and from stress and trauma to joint surfaces and supporting structures. Symptoms include stiffness in the joints, favoring of a limb, difficulty standing or sitting, hesitancy to jump, an overall decrease in activity, general lethargy, an onset of stiffness in the mornings, pain or palpitation of the joints, trouble running and climbing stairs, audible "clicking" when walking, limping, limited movements, and lack of desire to exercise.
Longlife for Dogs contains essential, all-natural calcium, phosphorus, and carbohydrates to heal cartilage tissue, ligaments, and tendons, while also improving joint fluid and joint lubrication. Longlife for Dogs also contains 100% pure shark cartilage, which has been proven highly effective in the treatment of arthritis in dogs. Over 90% of animals tested have shown a remarkable decrease in pain and swelling. It acts as an all-natural, anti-inflammatory agent and increases antibody production to improve immune system response.

An abnormal function of the hip joint, hip dysplasia occurs when the fit between the ball and socket of the hip joint loosens. Most of the problems resulting from hip dysplasia are a result of this looseness, the loss of tension in the muscles, connective tissue, and ligaments that should support the joint. Symptoms are bunny hopping, side sitting, limping, lying in unusual positions, and refraining from jumping.
All those elements of Longlife for Dogs which promote overall joint health and aid in the treatment of arthritis similarly help treat hip dysplasia. Longlife Program products have been tested together and have been proven to provide maximum protection, provide necessary vitamins and minerals, protect joints, and fight against the ravages of age, environmental pollution, and poor diet.

The immune system is a complex defense network of white blood cells, antibodies, and other substances that fight off infections and reject foreign proteins. In dogs with auto-immune disease, the immune system fails to recognize itself and begins to attack and reject the body's own tissue as foreign. Common symptoms include intense soreness in certain parts of the body, itchy, flaky skin, inflamed ears, excessive licking of the front paws, and swelling of the toes.
Longlife for Dogs is an effective, all-natural immune system booster. Because it has no fillers or additives, it does not introduce any unexpected side effects in dogs with auto-immune disease. Longlife Program products have been tested together and have been proven to provide maximum protection, provide necessary vitamins and minerals, and fight against the ravages of age, environmental pollution, and poor diet.

"Hot spots" are rapidly appearing, oozing skin infections, also known as "acute moist pyoderma." A hot spot starts because something irritates, itches, or causes inflammation of the dog's skin. In cases of itching, the dog rubs, licks, or chews the site and exacerbates the problem. The most common symptoms are itchiness, redness, often with pimples or scabs, and a bad odor.
The anti-inflammatory properties of Longlife for Dogs help soothe irritated skin and remedy a host of skin diseases. A natural immune system booster, Longlife for Dogs promotes healing and good skin condition. The Canine Skin Supplement was formulated specifically to treat hot spots, skin irritation, and immune deficiencies. For best results with treating skin disorders, we recommend using Longlife for Dogs and the Canine Skin Supplement together. These products have been designed to work together and tested for effectiveness when used in combination.

The most common group of drugs recommended by veterinarians for the treatment of arthritis and hip dysplasia, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) have been used to treat joint disorders in pets since 1989, and they have gained in popularity as the risks of prolonged steroid use have become apparent in recent years. These non-addictive drugs have analgesic (pain relieving) yet non-narcotic (non-numbing), antipyretic (fever reducing), and anti-inflammatory effects.
NSAIDs for use in the treatment of animal joint disorders have been controversial all along. In 2006, the Food and Drug Administration reported that over 22,000 dogs had gotten sick, while almost 3,000 had died, following use of NSAIDs.
The safest treatment option for animals with chronic joint disorders remains a natural joint supplement. In the last few years, the emphasis in veterinary medicine has evolved from the use of anti-inflammatory medications to treatments which stimulate cartilage production. Products such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, MSM, and Vitamin C help the body produce cartilage, which provides a cushion in the joint to prevent the painful condition of bone rubbing on bone. Studies have shown that these products provide significant relief in about 50 percent of patients. Our ongoing clinical research studies show that the Longlife Program provides significant improvement in over 90 percent of patients for a wide variety of joint problems, including hip dysplasia, arthritis, torn cruciate ligaments, and herniated vertebral discs.
Because Longlife Pet Supplements are all-natural, they do not cause side effects, and can be used in conjunction with other medications your pet is currently taking. Longlife Pet Supplements contain no binders, fillers, chemicals, or deodorizers, and have been specifically tailored to pass through your pet's gastrointestinal tract unnoticed while providing them with the benefits of effective, all-natural properties. For pet owners seeking an effective, affordable, safe, and natural treatment for pets with joint disorders, the Longlife Program is the natural choice.
