Contrary to popular belief, dogs graze on grass not because their stomachs are upset but because they're looking for the same fresh, raw nutrition enjoyed by their ancestors in the wild. Just like us, if dogs don't get the proper diet, they can suffer from arthritis, skin rashes, cancer, digestive problems and other illnesses. For hundreds of years dogs enjoyed well-balanced diets of fresh, raw foods. Today, however, even premium brands of pet food rely on processing techniques known to damage natural vitamins, minerals and live enzymes which pets require for optimum health. Animal experts say that's why dogs everywhere instinctively chew and eat grass when it's available to them. This habit helps them meet an ongoing need for the nutrients their diets are lacking due to damage during food processing caused by heat, freezing and factory canning. Unfortunately, outdoor grass has sharp, microscopic barbs that irritate your pet's stomach, creating "paper cut"-like agitation which usually causes vomiting. The mucous surrounding the vomit is a sign of how an animal's body attempts to protect itself from the grass' sharpness. Without multiple stomachs like a cow, no matter how much the dog or cat's system craves the grass, it tends to eventually be eliminated this way. Green Foods Corp. (GFC) has introduced Barley Dog in response to the demand for more natural pet products. The human-grade supplements help prevent imbalances (which create illness) by providing the raw vegetable nutrition most pet diets are missing. Raw, whole ingredients such as the powdered barley grass in Barley Dog are considered "living foods" because they contain thousands of the same active enzymes found in fresh fruits and vegetables. Enzymes are the delicate protein catalysts found in all cells that are responsible for every biochemical action, including breathing, blood circulation and reproduction. They're essential for breaking down food into elements the body can use for energy, but are frequently not found in human and pet diets due to the damage caused to them by excessive processing. Understanding this problem more than 30 years ago inspired award-winning research scientist and GFC founder, Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, M.D., to develop a unique, low-temperature spray drying process to capture and stabilize the vitamins and enzymes in a variety of whole-food extracts for humans. With his attention turned towards convenient-to-use supplements for pets, Dr. Hagiwara is earning praise from veterinarians, breeders and other health enthusiasts who appreciate that Barley Dog include antioxidant vitamins C and E, 19 amino acids, live enzymes, beta-carotene, Vitamin A, proteins, B vitamins and purifying chlorophyll. Antioxidants battle "free radicals", the unstable molecules believed to cause chemical reactions that destroy cell membranes and reduce both pet and human immunity against increasingly common degenerative diseases. An article in DVM, the news magazine of veterinary medicine, reports that some veterinarians are calling antioxidant vitamins, such as those in Barley Dog, the "missing link" in pet health. In addition to the barley grass, which is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, GFC's supplements also contain garlic to boost a pet's immune system and repel fleas and ticks. Nutritional yeast, known to be another natural flea repellent, is blended into both supplements for its important minerals and B vitamins. Since the indigestible cellulose fiber is removed from the barley (and returned to GFC's nearby fields as organic fertilizer), your pet can easily assimilate the nutrients in the concentrated powder without the internal agitation caused by the microscopic barbs on grass which can induce characteristic vomiting. During tests of the product, most pet owners noticed an improvement in the health of their animals within 10 days of continued use. They reported their pet's coat became shiny and lustrous, bad breath was eliminated, pets of all ages became more energetic and playful, ill-tempered animals became calmer and even the most stubborn and seemingly long-term skin problems disappeared. Will My Dog Stop Eating Grass with GFC's Supplements? Barley Dog isn't designed to stop your pet from continuing to graze, but you can be confident knowing it provides the chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals (without causing vomiting) that attracts nutrient-starved dogs to eat grass in the first place. With that said, however, you should know that many owners who use Barley Dog say their pets DO stop eating grass while some others report that their pets become BIGGER grass eaters! Perhaps this is because, once the animal's system becomes accustomed to the new performance level achieved from being able to absorb the nutrients in Barley Dog, he or she instinctively thinks it's the grass that's causing the healthy feeling. As long as a pet isn't eating grass sprayed with pesticides and chemical fertilizers, an owner shouldn't be concerned about this possible increase in grass eating, but SHOULD feel comfortable knowing that Barley Dog is providing the nutrients being craved.   Manufacturer's Supplement Info/Ingredients Ingredients: Powdered juice from young Barley grass, maltodextrin, dried yeast, ground brown rice, garlic Guaranteed analysis: Crude Protein not less than 12%, Crude Fat not less than 2%, Crude Fiber not more than 3%, Moisture not more than 7%.
