Jack Russell Puppy Helped by Natural Plan Stomach Soother

Natural Plan Stomach Soother began in the equine market, but dog owners soon discovered it would work well on their pets too.  Dogs stomachs often have some of the same problems as horses – problems with weaning, troubles with travel, stress from new locations and diet.  The symptoms can be somewhat the same too – loose stools or diarrhea, withdrawn behavior and picky eating.  Our product can help with those problems and help an animal gain or maintain weight.

Puppy tummy helped by Natural Plan Stomach Soother

Here is a testimonial from Gillian C. about her Jack Russell puppy.
“My husband Ric and I picked up a 7 week old Jack Russell “Shortie” puppy in Roanoke, Virginia, about a 4 hour drive from our house.  She was quite anxious in the car, and vomited several times on the way home.  On the next day she ate little, had constipation alternating with diarrhea, and vomited intermittently.

This made me particularly distraught because we had lost our beloved 6 year old Jack Russell “Ratter” 5 weeks earlier to a mysterious disease that was never diagnosed despite 2 hospital stays and $3,000 in vet bills.  To see another small brown and white canine in distress was pushing all the panic buttons left over from the last tragedy.

I took the puppy to the vet and who said the puppy’s digestive system was adapting to the non-milk diet, and she was probably emotionally stressed by the separation from her litter mates and mother.  She gave me some high calorie gel to get nutrition into the puppy, and said time would fix the problem.

A light went off in my head when the vet mentioned stress, and as soon as I got her home I gave her 6 cc’s of Natural Plan Stomach Soother.  Within a few hours her stool became normal, and she started eating the dinner I made her.  After a few days of dosing with 6 cc’s twice a day, she was eating her regular puppy food and gaining weight every day.

After her digestion normalized, her Jack Russell personality blossomed and she began bouncing off the wall with high energy enthusiasm.  As she was born on the 4th of July, my husband decided to name her after a firework, and hence she is now known as “Cherry Bomb”.

Strangers frequently let out a squeal of adoration when they see her out in public.  On two occasions she has actually stopped traffic as drivers ask what kind of breed she is and line up to pet her.  I told my husband if I die before him and he needs a new wife, just get a Jack Russell puppy and go walking in a park, and he will have no shortage of potential dates.”

We love learning from our customers.  It was our customers that have told us how well Natural Plan Stomach Soother works on animals other than horses – whether Jack Russell dogs or cats, or llamas, or alpacas or tropical birds or………..you get the picture.

Natural Plan Stomach Soother – 10 years on the Digestive Market

Natural Plan Stomach Soother is an alternative, holistic remedy for stomach distress in animals.  this market has really exploded in the past 5 years.  Prior to that, only expensive thoroughbreds were treated for stomach distress.

There are two main segments in this area: Pharmaceutical and Non-Pharmaceutical.

In the Pharmaceutical realm there are:

Gastrogard – Ulcergard – Ranitidine tablets – Tums – Mylanta Tab & Liquids

The downside of these pharmaceuticals is that they can be expensive, may require a prescription (Gastrogard) and some have to be given 3 to 4 times per day.  In addition, their active ingredients have legitimate concerns.  In the case of Gastrogard & Ulcergard, the active ingredient is omeprazole.  Omeprazole has been given a black box warning from the FDA in humans because it causes an increase in bone fractures and breaks, an increase in intestinal infections and malnutrition.  It is only a matter of time before veterinarians begin to notice these effects in horses.  Also, stopping the use of these medications often causes horrible rebound effects.

Tums contains calcium carbonate and Mylanta has aluminum and magnesium as active ingredients.  There are issues with using these medicines long term.  Calcium may in fact, increase stomach discomfort and long-term magnesium use may can cause irregular heartbeat.  These also, can cause rebound effects when trying to discontinue use.

In the Non-Pharmaceutical realm there are:

Natural Plan Stomach Soother (liquid) and

Aloe Vera Juice – Chewable Papaya Pills – Eguisin SLH Pellets – Neighlox Powder – Platinum Gastric Support Powder – Pro CMC Liquid – Smart Gut Pellets – Soybean Oil – U-7 Gastric Aid Liquid – U-gard Pellets

These alternatives also have their pros and cons.  Many are expensive, in pill, powder or pellet form and therefore difficult to administer.  You also can’t mix other medications or supplements for easy dosing like you can with Natural Plan Stomach Soother.  Others contain calcium carbonate, aluminum or magnesium.  As stated above, these ingredients can cause another set of problems.  The aloe vera juice is the only natural single ingredient product (other than Natural Plan Stomachs Soother) and aloe vera is NOT as palatable as papaya.

Natural Plan Stomach Soother reviewed by Horse Journal in 2005 & 2012

What a long way we’ve come!  The prestigious Horse Journal in March of 2005 published an article about horse ulcers.  At that time, there was still much debate as to whether or not all horses even had ulcers in the general horse community.  The Horse Journal article did a lot to explain and educate people on the symptoms, signs and  treatments  of horse ulcers and stomach issues.  At that time, they reviewed 19 products, Natural Plan Stomach Soother being one of them.

Their bottom line was that they preferred U-gard Solution.  However, they found “similar rapid results were obtained with (Natural Plan) Stomach Soother”.  Their point of difference at the time was that U-gard was less expensive.  We’d like to point out however, that the cost is negligible when you consider that you may have to use 4 oz. per dose as opposed to 2 oz..  Also, considering that long-term use of calcium & magnesium (the other guy’s active ingredients) has negative side effects, while NPSS has none, the choice is clear.

At that time, in 2005, the Horse Journal listed 19 remedies.  When they published an update on this subject, in June of 2012, only 12 were listed.  And of these 12, only 3 are from the original 19 remedies that were listed back in 2005.  Natural Plan Stomach Soother is one of them (the others being the Pro-CMC & U-gard).  Entering our 10th year of business, we feel blessed to be one of oldest branded alternative digestive remedy on the market.  Our customers find rapid relief for their horses from the discomfort of ulcers, diarrhea, weaning and more.  They appreciate the fact that they can mix other medications like Bute into our tasty Natural Plan Stomach Soother and not have their horse spit out the medication or suffer side effects such as digestive discomfort from antibiotics.

We love the fact that so many horses (and some owners!) have tried our product and have found it useful.  They’ve informed us about uses beyond our initial scope – such as using it for dogs, cats, llamas and alpacas.  Our customers have told us that it’s made their horse calmer or happier.  Travel weary customers have tried it on themselves and let us know how good it made their stomach feel.

 

Finicky Fillys Love Natural Plan Stomach Soother

“Natural Plan Stomach Soother will keep ’em from painting the stalls!”

I was kinda horrified when I found out what “painting the stalls” meant.  I had never heard it put that way.  But whatever you call it, diarrhea is a terrible thing.  Not only is it messy and gross, but it causes a lot of other problems, everything from dehydration to the scalding of their hind legs.

Foal scours brought on by weaning are especially vexing ’cause you know it’s coming.  When mama’s milk changes, the hormones cause mama to begin weaning the foal and it’s these hormones that cause the diarrhea.  Natural Plan Stomach Soother may help stop this cycle.  About a week before, begin the foal on NPSS, or if that’s not practical, dose at the first sign of loose stools.

“I am SO impressed with your Stomach Soother!”

Soothing Stomachs Since 2004

I’m the caretaker of a wonderful 30+ year old horse who has numerous issues but a great attitude.  About 10 days ago he developed horrible diarrhea (looser than cow pies).  He appeared to feel fine and was behaving normally except for the diarrhea.  I put him on Natural Plan Stomach Soother and within 24 hours he had his first slightly formed stool in over a week.  By the next day, his stools were perfectly normal.

Thank you for a great product with no bad side effects!

Ghost Returns to Glory with Natural Plan Stomach Soother

“”Ghost” is a five-year-old off the track thoroughbred by the popular thoroughbred race stallion, “Two-Punch”.

Ghost loves Natural Plan Stomach Soother

When Ghost was finished racing his owner decide she wanted to see if Ghost could be retrained to be a rideable horse that she could pleasure ride and occasionally horse show.  Ghost was fresh off the track, and initially we thought that his short attention span, extreme sensitivity to leg pressure, and his rearing & bucking were all due to his level of fitness.  We introduced him to turn-out time in lush pastures, and set very small daily goals.  After a month or two, it became obvious that Ghost had completely adjusted to his new barn life and turn out schedule, but his personality under tack seemed to indicate he was unhappy about something.  We suspected ulcers, and so we talked to the owner about starting him on Natural Plan Stomach Soother.  Not only did Ghost love the taste of the product, within one week we noticed a huge difference under tack.  Ghost seemed to be able to tolerate longer training sessions, and all the bucking & rearing stopped.  Much to our delight, Ghost participated in a horse show that was held at the farm where we was boarded and he placed in all three of the classes he was entered in.  Needless to say, we couldn’t have been any happier than if we were at the racetrack watching him win a race!  Natural Plan Stomach Soother is a great product, not only because it is affordable and horses love it… but it works!  Ghost says “Thank You!”

Many times, horses that seem to be grumpy or disagreeable are actually just expressing discomfort.  Think of a time your stomach hurt – you probably weren’t at your best, most charming self.  Same for horses.  Owners report having happier horses – many call it the “Happy Juice”.  We agree.

Papaya may help the horse’s digestive system get back on track because of its enzymes.  These enzymes are what helps a horse digest their food, form better stools and get relief from gas, digestive issues and diarrhea.  Natural Plan Stomach Soother has helped thousands of horses feel better, act better and perform better.

“I am so impressed with (Natural Plan) Stomach Soother…

MiniHorseFeathers & Natural Plan Stomach Soother – Similar Values are Shared by both Companies

Marsha Hamilton from MiniHorseFeathers.com is passionate about a lot of things.  Mini-horses, horses, and business are just some of them.  Which obviously is why she runs MiniHorseFeathers.com which is a specialty tack & supply online retailer.  We were speaking the other day and she was telling me about their new “Show Shammie”, which helps keep mini-horses warm and not catch a chill, and that the idea came to her from seeing a little horse shiver at a show & realizing that they are athletes and athletes have specialized fabrics and construction to help wick sweat, regulate temperature, etc.

The reason I’m telling you is that to me, it’s another example of looking past “how things have always been done” and doing something new.  She was enthused to come up with a solution to a problem.  She’s representative of a lot of Natural Plan Stomach Soother customers.  Usually when horses get ulcers – medications are purchased and used, and side-effects dealt with.  But our customers sought out something new – and in Natural Plan Stomach Soother’s case, something old & new!  Old, because papaya has been used for centuries as a digestive aid and new, because thinking outside the box is what got us to think about using papaya for horses.

Marsha also does what a lot of our customers do, she tells other people and shares what she’s learned.  Imagine if all new ideas were not shared – boo.  She was telling me about how she told her trainer about NPSS and that she used it when trailering her mini’s – either to a new home or to a show.  She also told me she know of several riders who drink it themselves when they’re nervous at a show or just not feeling that great after traveling.  In fact, she tells us, she tells EVERYONE about our product.  We of course love it, because it’s our customers’ testimonials that have kept us soothing stomachs since 2004.

When we started out, we focused solely on horses.  It’s been our customers that have helped us branch out to the canine, feline, bovine, and camelid market.  (Camelid – fancy for llamas & alpacas – and I would imagine camels………)  They’ve told us that not only did Stomach Soother help with ulcer and digestive issues – it was also helpful in giving meds.  Some have gotten their horses NOT to be afraid of syringes with it.  Others have told us they use it as a “happy juice” when their horse seems off – whether to grief, stress or new surroundings.

Marsha Hamilton from MiniHorseFeathers.com was the one to tell me about mini’s particular needs.  She ought to know – she and her sister joined forces and talents to establish a very special store offering the best in miniature horse and miniature donkey tack and supplies.  They carry unique products and you will discover new possibilities, all creatively designed and customized by people who love mini horses and everything about them.  That’s why Natural Plan Stomach Soother is so happy when we can get such kind words from such knowledgeable people.

 

Here Are Just Some of the Comments About Natural Plan Stomach Soother

“…I do know that horses who tend to stay on the Natural Plan Stomach Soother for 6 to 8 weeks no longer exhibit signs associated with ulcers.”

Donald Kiefer, DVM from Virginia

Papaya For Horses – Great for Digestion

“Natural Plan Stomach Soother is very palatable and effective in horses with mild to moderate gastric ulcer / digestive upset symptoms consisting of poor appetite for grain, mild depression or irritability and sporadic belching or toothing grinding.  Documented rapid relief within three to five days.”

Horse Journal magazine article: “Ulcers:  Weighing Risks v. Over-the-Counter Treatments”

“I ended up talking again to the girl at the tack/feed store I go to about how it might be an ulcer and getting more Ulcergard.  She talked about how it is so expensive and suggested that I try this (Natural Plan) Stomach Soother and that she had good reports from people that were using it for horses on the track.  Thanks for a great product – it worked!”

Kathy W. by email

“Natural Plan Stomach Soother has been a HUGE part of our racing stable since I discovered your product while working at the Breeder’s Cup World Championships at Churchill Downs.  The first morning I gave it to her, she was drinking better after she galloped, cleaned up her lunch, and cleaned up her supper…. She put on weight, filled out, dappled out, and was a picture of health.”

Danielle G. from Indiana
