It started when I went to our vet and my Jack Russell, Jack, who is losing his eyesight, had a bad stomach and was pooping in the house. This vet gave Jack antibiotics. Those antibiotics were ototoxic. They made him deaf. I didn't dare go see the vet after this—for my sake. But mostly for his. Shortly thereafter, I discovered that ginger works as well for dogs as it does for us. The ginger famous with sailors in ginger snap cookies, settles the stomach. We've been using that ever since. Whenever any of the three of our rescues has a bad tummy—they get diced ginger in their food. Oh. And for the ototoxicity… Should this ever happen to a dog friend of yours try Omega-3 in their food. Jack is getting his hearing back. It's taken months, but it's happening. His new vet will hear all about it.

Good for: You. Your dogs. Buy it locally. Use a spoon to gently carve off the bark, then dice something like a teaspoon per dog.
