Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are your formulae safe to take with pharmaceuticals?

A: Yes our formulae are safe, but you probably ended up on this site because you know drugs are not going to heal your pet’s heart. We understand your concern for your loved one, but it is important to recognize the danger of pharmaceuticals and the effectiveness of quality herbal preparations. Herbs work best without toxic drugs; many people do not see the desired improvement in their dog’s health by using pharmaceuticals and seek out natural healing as an alternative. It’s a hard decision especially if you are new to natural healing. We have seen so many amazing results by using our formulae to treat canine heart disease we are confident you can improve your dog’s heart function by following our Canine Heart Health Healing program. We are here to answer any questions you may have about our herbal preparations, programs and therapies. The fact of the matter is while our formulae are safe to take with pharmaceuticals, herbs and pharmaceutical drugs do not compliment each other. Herbs support the body and help in healing the injured or disease area whereas drugs do the heart’s job, do not support healing and can be extremely toxic.

Q: Can I stop giving my dog pharmaceuticals all at once?

A: No. If your dog is currently on prescription medication and if you wish to heal his heart naturally, weaning him off the drugs is crucial. Gradually wean him off over a period of a few weeks to a month. Inform your veterinarian of your desire to take a natural approach to healing your dog. Your veterinarian will be qualified to instruct you as to the weaning schedule based on which drugs your dog is taking. Keep in mind regular check ups with your vet will be a great way to guage your dog’s recovery.

Q: What is the shelf life of your products?

A: Our tinctured formulas have a minimum 5 year shelf life and our teas and powdered herbs as well as our Dog Greens are most potent if used within two years.

Q: How are your formulae developed?

A: Every formula we sell has been used by us personally on our own animals. Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy’s therapies and formulas are based on the exact programs used by Dr. Richard Schulze and Dr. John Christopher to heal thousands of people of "incurable diseases". We work with herbalists to specify these formulae and therapies for canines in order to bring you the most effective herbal treatments possible for your loved ones.

Q: This program seems intense, could it harm my dog?

A: Heart disease is an intense disease. It will take hard work, lots of dedication and, yes, intense therapies to heal your dog. Nothing in our program can harm your dog. When most of our customers first come to us their dogs have already been given a death sentence by their veterinarian. As the old adage goes desperate times call for desperate measures. So give it all you’ve got, your dog will thank you!

Q: Won’t cayenne burn my dog’s stomach?

A: Cayenne will never harm your dog. Some armchair doctors who have never used cayenne to heal may say otherwise, they are mistaken. All seven of our dogs as well as many of our customers dogs get up to 3 tablespoons each per day and have no adverse reactions, only positive ones.

Q: My dog is in heart failure and my vet recommends he be put to sleep, is it too late to start your program?

A: We believe it’s never too late to try and you should never give up hope. Our products don’t cause any uncomfortable effects and sometimes when you have given up hope that’s when miracles start to happen. That’s the amazing part of natural healing, animal's bodies have an amazing ability to recover and should never be underestimated. So don’t be discouraged if your vet has given up on your pet, just stay positive and focus on the goal at hand which is saving your pet’s life. Give it all you’ve got and you’ll be rewarded with many more healthy years with your loved one.

Q: Other herbal companies recommend doses a lot less than you do, why do you recommend so much?

A: Most herbal companies are not in the business of “healing” anyone let alone your dog. The majority of commercially prepared herbal formulas on the market are so weak many times you would be hard pressed to even be able to taste the herbs that are supposed to be in them. They usually only taste of alcohol and are very light in color. Visit our Packages page for more details on the quality and strength of our preparations. The doses we recommend for our formulae are based on real experience of healing many dogs of heart disease.

Q: Can I over dose my pet?

A: You should be more concerned about under-dosing. If your pet is seriously ill, we suggest giving the formulae as often as possible. Visit our Dosage page for more details. It would take an extremely large amount to “overdose” and the worst side effect would be the possibility of your dog vomiting.

Q: How do I know if my dog is improving?

A: There are many things you can do at home to monitor your dog’s recovery. First you can listen to his heart with a stethoscope. Familiarize yourself with his heart sounds and count his heart beats. A normal heart rate ranges from 70 to 120 beats per minute. Keeping a journal will also help you keep track of his improvement. Record your daily therapies, we find this helps keep things simple and ensures you do not miss any doses.
