00:00and Mammoth WVH at DHA. Hey! So I'm in the WDHA studios, just about to head out with my best
00:09friend in the whole world, Rosie Carr. Hi, Rose! Rosie is getting ready to go to Longevity
00:15Veterinary Center to meet up with Dr. B to get a checkup. I love Dr. B's holistic approach,
00:21so I'm excited to get Rosie there. And Rosie's excited to go. You excited to go see Dr. B?
00:25He's a good boy. Dr. B's a good boy, Rose. Yep. You're excited? Go see Dr. B? We're going.
00:36Yay, Rosie!
00:54Hi, Rosie!
01:02Hi, Rosie! Hi, Rosie!
01:04Hi, Rosie!
01:06Come on, let's go.
01:08Oh!
01:10Hi!
01:34Here are you!
01:36so rosie is checked out with my good friend dr b and taylor of course who is assisting today
01:45so dr b give me the 411 on rosie's condition i mentioned to you that she just turned seven
01:52years old so there are some things that come along with being a senior dog so talk to me a little bit
01:56about what you found with rosie and also the drops that you put in her mouth because they
02:01seem to calm her down quite a bit yeah they work on most dogs and cats and it's called rescue
02:07remedy it's great for for helping them to relax for the examination so she has two of the most
02:13common problems of dogs which is some buildup on the teeth and also some buildup of weight and
02:21it's a good idea to brush the teeth every day and to brush the coat every day with a slicker brush
02:30and i'll show you what that looks like so the slicker brush helps to keep this the fur clean it
02:38actually takes out the dirt particles and it gives them a massage so that releases toxins you know
02:45when a person gets massaged that helps to detoxify the body and it also stimulates the oil to come to
02:54the surface and to or the nutrients to come to the surface and the oil glands to produce their oils and
03:00make the skin more healthy and comfortable so if you have an itchy dog that'll help somewhat there
03:05might be other things to deal with too like allergies but that's one thing brush the teeth every day
03:12brushing her teeth every day but that doesn't necessarily mean actually with a toothbrush okay
03:17that's what i've been doing no no that's wonderful if you can do that not every dog allows it so those
03:23dogs that don't allow it i like to use any kind of dental gel or paste it's usually a gel product
03:32that has grapefruit seed extract and grape seed extract oh good to know that's my choice okay great
03:38and you can just easily apply it as a bead and the dog has to be used to the um the peppermint flavor
03:48so she might not be at the moment she's not doing that not the biggest peppermint fan and then you
03:53massage on the outside and then spread it around you just have to place it on the upper teeth okay
04:00right where the teeth meet the goals great yeah got that excellent and the other thing to do every day
04:07is to tap the thymus i'll show you on me because it's right between the armpits okay okay 10 times do
04:14the same thing on her right between the armpits so not up here but down below okay without the
04:20uh halt the um halteron what's that rose getting your thymus tapped and that helps to stimulate the
04:28thymus gland which helps to control the immunity oh that's great so that should help her immunity
04:34dr b knows everything about holistic and preventive uh veterinary care which i love because you know
04:42especially now that rosie's seven if we can avoid problems that's definitely the best way to go
04:48rather than have the problems come your way and then figure out what are my options you know hearing
04:52what are my options is always such a scary phrase for a pet owner so sort of avoiding these things um
04:59at all costs is is really is really the way to go that's the right attitude we always want to keep
05:05their their quality of life high by preventing problems if you already wait till they have
05:11problems then you're going backwards now i appreciate dr b squeezing us in because i will tell you he is
05:18booked to the gills booked solid but getting my rosie in today to get her checkup and her holistic
05:25treatments um has meant the world to me dr b thank you so much it's always great to see you and it's
