Testimonials
Hi,
My dog participates in flyball and agility. K9-Quencher makes a huge difference
in her activity level and in rehydration. Normally, she drinks very little
water, but she loves K9-Quencher. I live in CO and did a store locater
search and with no stores listed in CO.
Suggestions might be PetsMart, Petco, Walker's Cage and Feed
store in Arvada, CO or Poudre Pet & Feed Supply in Ft. Collins,
CO.
The product is great for my dog.
Thanks, Susan Koeneke
Thanks Susan,
We'll try and
contact some of the local stores. Let us know if your teams need
product for a raffle
prize.

On behalf of the 2005
Ontario Regional's Agility Committee, I would
like to extend our appreciation and thanks
to K9-Quencher for being a sponsor of the Ontario
Regional's Agility Championships held in Simcoe,
Ontario from the 3 - 5 June 2005.
Our committee was proud to have K9-Quencher on board as our sponsor.
Our dogs are both athletes and family members
and keeping them healthy and in top condition
are very important to us. As handlers of high
performance dogs, it is important that our
dogs do drink enough fluids when they are working
hard. K9-Quencher certainly gets the dogs to
drink and be properly rehydrated.
K9-Quencher's Sponsorship helped us promote a premiere event for
this prestigious championship. Organizing and
running this event was accomplished with the
help of 120 volunteers. With 325 dogs competing
for the Regional championship, attempting to
qualify for the National championships and
trying to secure a spot on the Agility Association
of Canada's 2006 World team, it was a very
competitive event.
I hope this event gave excellent exposure for K9-Quencher. All
the competitors received a packet of K9-Quencher.
I am sure with the extreme heat we had on Sunday,
many of the dogs had the chance to try it.
My two Aussies absolutely loved it. My young
one is bad for not drinking enough water when
she works.
Many thanks again,
Petra Hell

"In
twenty-eight years of small animal veterinary practice I found
innumerable occasions where oral
electrolyte supplementation was indicated but not practical.
The few veterinary products available
were universally unpalatable and unacceptable to my canine
patients. Invariably the dogs would
reject the supplemented water supply. This often led to extended
periods of intravenous therapy in
patients
that were in borderline need of
it. This becomes time and
effort intensive for the veterinary
staff and expensive for the owner. The introduction
of K-9 Quencher has opened
up new possibilities for
small animal practitioners.
K-9 Quencher has uses in animals who are recovering, stressed or just enjoy a healthy treat. I have used it extensively in patients suffering from both acute and chronic diarrheal diseases with positive effects. It encourages the dog to not only increase its fluid intake, but also fortifies lost electrolytes. I routinely prescribe it for postpartum bitches to replace lost electrolytes and enhance milk production through increased fluid consumption. Young puppies that have become dehydrated for any reason, benefit from its use. In the summer it is an excellent choice for any dog to encourage normal hydration during exercise or heat stress. One of the most popular uses has been during extended travel or in show dogs while on the show circuit. It is a common problem in these situations for the dogs to drastically cut back on their water consumption, even if the owners supply water from their home. Add stress and possible related diarrhea and dogs can quickly become dehydrated. By offering an appealing flavored drink that is also supplemented with needed nutrients, many owners find they can avoid these travel related mishaps.
The variety of flavors makes K-9 Quencher acceptable to most dogs. The levels of supplementation are not high enough to pose any problems to patients with health concerns such as heart disease, liver or kidney ailments. In fact, I frequently prescribe it in such cases to help maintain a healthy balance of fluid in such patients. There is enough dextrose to enhance palatability but not so much that it would cause diuresis and, therefore, further fluid loss.
I have used K-9 Quencher in my hospital
and have done palatability trials among
healthy dogs being boarded in our
clinic. We have found it to be safe,
beneficial and widely accepted by dogs
in my practice."
"When I first was introduced to K9-Quencher, I realized that many of the
conditions that develop during strenuous exercise also occur in the chronic
disease processes. Although, emergency I.V. treatment may be warranted in
some cases,
an oral supplement could both prevent and treat theses deficiencies from
occurring.
The ingredients in K9-Quencher are all beneficial to dogs, whether or not there are signs of reduced performance. The addition of dextrose gives theses dogs a very quick and available source of glucose that is essential for all the cells in the body to function properly.
Many of the debilitated patients have low serum phosphate levels, and the addition of phosphates are very beneficial for these patients by supplying the phosphates needed to build up the intercellular ATP (Adenosine Triphospahte) that has been depleted by their conditions, but also required for normal cell function.
The Glycine, which promotes the absorption of water and electrolytes is essential for a healthy immune system, and is something that most oral revitalizing solutions do not contain, but is probably one of the main reasons that I have seen such great response by the patients that are using K9-Quencher.
Not only are the ingredients in K9-Quencher valuable for the recovering patients, but also the percentage of dogs that will drink K9-Quencher is much higher than for all the other revitalizing drinks combined.
Without hesitation, I recommend K9-Quencher
be part of any treatment prescribed
for a recuperating animal. It has been my
professional experience that the recovery
time is cut in half when the dogs are drinking K9-Quencher
in their water."
