“Jett, our 3-year-old Labradoodle, was diagnosed with an incurable, rare skin disease common in Poodles called Sabaceous Adenitis in January of 2019. His hair became brittle and was falling out, his skin was dry, scaly and flaky, and he was itching constantly. Our vet suggested NatrixOne to pour over his food every day. After just … Read more
NatrixOne Gave My Dog Life Back After Surgery… “In the summer of 2016, after blowing both knees, Rosie underwent bilateral TPLO surgery (MedVet – Karl Maritato, DVM, DACVSSA). She recovered quickly and life went on. As time progressed, she would complain a bit after walking. We would treat with Tramadol initially (two to three days) accompanied … Read more
“Sake is our Shiba Inu that looves to explore all of Cincinnati. When left off the leash, he will wander to his heart’s content. Some days he comes back to us sneezing and itching, having gotten into a plant bed or rolled in god only knows.
We wanted to be sure to protect Sake’s health against free radicals that cause allergies. NatrixOne helped Sake live his best life by freely exploring the world without us worrying about what he has discovered while we are away. Thanks for the great product! ” -Judy Recker
“I began adding NatrixOne Camelina supplement to Fritz’ diet 6 months ago. Our veterinarian, Dr. Rich, recommended I try it due to his dry and flaky skin. After 3 months you could see a difference in his coat…nice and shiny. The shopping experience was so easy I decided to try the NatrixOne treat recipes next. … Read more
“Harris is the most adorable cavapoo we’ve ever seen! He loves to lick and jump on everything, especially his human parents. But he has a good nose for finding things too; one day while they were out of town for work (sounds like an excellent vacation!), Harris hid their NatrixOne Puppy bottle under our couch before finally letting us all see how sneaky little dogs can be 😉 Lucky enough Roomba retrieved it so now there are two fans in our house – courtesy from ‘Roomba‘ himself 🙂
Harris has grown up very fast! He was so tiny when he came in, but now Harris is starting to fill out! We are really happy with the extra energy and healthy appetite NatrixOne Puppy gave him–and it made all of our lives easier because we didn’t have any trouble handling his size while potty training or playing games outside.” – Mary Alice

“Max is our Bernie poodle mix that acts like a shaggy muppet ball hog. Most dogs and humans are intimidated by his size, but he really is a gentle giant. Max loves to chew tennis balls right in half and we quickly learned we had to use a training collar to help keep Max’s appetite in control
After a few months of failed attempts, we spoke to a professional trainer who convinced us that positive reinforcement using healthy food-based rewards was more effective than an electric training collar. Max was fond of the NatrixOne our neighbor brought to the dog park, and we wanted to stick to a reward that made him happy. As an added bonus, Max had a ton of energy to chase the ball after starting NatrixOne.” – Dan
Welcome to our first newsletter, Ask Dr. Rich. We understand there are a lot of questions when it comes to owning a dog. Dr. Rich will answer your questions and we will choose one question to highlight each month in this newsletter below. Click here to email your canine questions to Dr. Rich, Chief Veterinary Officer for NatrixOne and owner of Four Paws Animal Hospital in Lebanon, OH.
Sincerely,
The Team at NatrixOne
We hope you enjoyed our first newsletter, Ask Dr. Rich. Like we promised, Dr. Rich will be answering your questions once per month via this email. This month’s topic is: Glucosamine.
Click here to email your canine questions to Dr. Rich, Chief Veterinary Officer for NatrixOne and owner of Four Paws Animal Hospital in Lebanon, OH.
A: Glucosamine is the precursor to glycosaminoglycans – the main component of joint tissue. However, most of the glucosamine taken by pets (and humans) is not bioavailable (it isn’t absorbed or able to be utilized by the animal) and so very large quantities are required to see an effect, and even then many dogs see no effect at all. Many treats and other foods have small amounts of glucosamine added, which brings up the cost, but does very little to benefit your pet. Glucosamine is also often harvested from shellfish, which can be an inflammatory trigger in dogs with allergies. While glucosamine based veterinary products can have some benefits with regards to osteoarthritis in dogs, that is really the only condition they will help in your pet.
NatrixOne™ has a perfect blend of Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamin E, polyphenols, phytonutrients and Maslinic acid; powerful anti-inflammatory components that work by systemically reducing inflammation within your pet. These will help with your dog’s pain from osteoarthritis, but will also provide muscle recovery and joint protection for dogs at any age. Additionally, you will see improvements in the skin and coat with NatrixOne™ and, in turn, support with allergic conditions of the skin. NatrixOne™’s OFAs can also provide your dog with neuroprotective care which has been shown to help with degenerative conditions of the brain, muscle and nerves. And you only need to add a small amount of NatrixOne™ to your pet’s food once daily to achieve these results, which means NatrixOne™ is easy on your pocketbook…
Thanks for Asking Dr. Rich!
A: This is a common question I get from my patients. Because NatrixOne is a fatty acid, soft stool at the beginning, of course, can occur and is the reason I recommend starting at a half dose for a few days to a week and then increasing to the full dose. Some food aversion can happen when you first introduce NatrixOne directly onto the food. We recommend trying the NatrixOne initially in a separate bowl or on your finger to allow your pet to sample it when not related to the food. That’s about it!

“Bogie is our 14-year-old English Labrador with allergies. Bogie has tried several different treatments, including antihistamines that make him lethargic, a cone he won’t wear, and a special hypoallergenic dog shampoo that mostly went down the drain. As Bogie has grown into his senior years, his hotspots have become longer-lasting and more frequent.
Our vet recommended a joint supplement called NatrixOne Camelina Oil, which is supposed to help with allergies and hotspots. We were hesitant at first, but we decided to give it a try. And we’re so glad we did! After putting it on his food twice a day and applying it topically as well, his hotspots healed faster. Bogie has been taking NatrixOne for a few years now, and his hotspots have gone away and he doesn’t seem to be as allergic as he used to be. It’s amazing what a difference this supplement has made in his life. Bogie is able to jump into the car much easier and has more energy when chasing the frisbee into Klinger Lake. We’re so grateful to NatrixOne for helping our Bogie live a happy and healthy life! I recommend this product to anyone who wants to help their pet thrive in their golden years.” – David & Kathy Bock
“Our 10-year-old Great Pyrenees was having a hard time getting up and moving about. She had surgery on both her knees years before and was suffering from arthritis. It was amazing to see how well NatrixOne Camelina Oil worked. In addition to an amazing coat (she blew her old coat out within 2 weeks of … Read more
People often ask me, what can NatrixOne do for my pet? My standard answer is to discuss the benefits they will see with their friend’s mobility and coat. I discuss the 100 dog study that I did in the summer of 2018 and what amazing results we saw, as well as the results I see every day. Well, what about the other benefits of NatrixOne?
NatrixOne’s unique plant-based blend, called CamOlive, is cold-pressed from camelina sativa seed oil and proprietary olive extract and is loaded with 1) the perfect balance of Omega Fatty Acids, natural Vitamin E, phytonutrients including polyphenols, sterols and triterpenes. So, what are the health benefits belonging to each of these properties? The short answer is that they are all powerful anti-inflammatories.
Eyes – OFAs have been found to help improve eyesight and help fight off diseases of the eye and the retina.
Cognitive Function – This is tremendously important for older dogs, but also for younger dogs. Prevention of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction is just as important, so start early by preventing inflammation before it begins.
Cancer Prevention – We know from human medicine that OFAs play a huge role in decreasing inflammation in the body and helping to prevent cancer.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Just like people, as animals get older, they are more prone to IBD or food intolerance. This is driven by the immune system. OFA’s anti-inflammatory effects on the gut will help prevent this in your pet.
Cardiovascular Health – Do you have an active dog or even an athlete that competes in agility competitions? NatrixOne is a great way to provide OFAs and increase your young pup’s performance and stamina.
Autoimmune Disorders – Autoimmune disorders are when your pet’s body turns against itself. OFAs have been proven to lower the incidence of conditions like Lupus, Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, Pemphigus, and more.
Anxiety – Do you have a pet that suffers from anxiety? NatrixOne may decrease the use of other medications like Prozac, Trazodone and other mood-altering medications.
So, as you can see, NatrixOne™ and the Omega Fatty Acids it contains, have a wide range of beneficial effects on your pet’s body. Don’t wait to start it when they are old and have these issues. Be proactive and start it when they are young. And don’t forget the added benefits of the beautiful coat and increased mobility.
