I recommend you always contact your vet before giving your dog any herbal treatments and am not advocating the use of Goldenseal for anything than its stated purpose or benefits. I can only share my experience with my two labs and caution you to do your own research to be certain that no harm will come to your animals. Our dogs are constantly exposed to wooded streams and ponds during our walks and like most labs gladly refresh themselves with water from a clear stream or scummy pond. Several times over the years, they would get bouts of diarrhea lasting more than a couple of days prompting us to get them in to the vet for treatment. Often the vet would prescribe medication to kill intestinal parasites which would invariably clear up the symptoms and get the dogs back to good health. After the 4th or 5th time to the vet, I decided to look for something that could be used as a preventative, as the dogs were definitely not going to stop drinking from muddy puddles or contaminated streams (thinking giardia). Goldenseal was mentioned in several places on the web as a possible preventative so I bought a bottle to try it out. One of the labs was particularly prone to get loose stools so it was relatively easy to see the results. Within a month, the dog's stools were back to normal and we have not had another bout of diarrhea in either dog since starting them on Goldenseal. I can't recommend dosages, better for you to discuss with your vet, but I periodically add the powdered Goldenseal to their dry food and mix with a small amount of water. Labs are not known to be picky eaters so I was not expecting them to turn down eating but they actually seem to like the taste. But again, these are the same dogs lapping up that pond water in the first place.

What can I say that you haven't already heard. This book is the "bible" of the USMLE. Study it, know it! I would recommend to start using in early on (by your second year)- that way, by the time it's time for the boards, you've been using it all along, and you're going to know it pretty darn well!

I love this product. It is not greasy and quickly absorbs. It smells so good smells like baby oil to me. This product left my hair very soft and moisturized. I will be buying again!
