Our Background

We began researching the best available products to assist Pets facing serious health challenges over 14 years ago when one of our own dogs was diagnosed with cancer, and we read an article by Prof. Ogilvie, then of the Colorado University called "Hope for Dogs with Cancer". We talked with him and learnt of the potential for using conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, supported by nutrition and supplements.

Since then we have helped three of our dogs battle this diagnosis.

We have used chemotherapy and surgical intervention as well as natural products, and have found all can have their  place in assisting our companions to have Quality of Life, and to achieve the best possible outcome.

Following our own experiences with dog cancer, it became our goal to help others through the difficulties of fighting dog cancer and to this end, K9 Health Support evolved. We would be very pleased to help you through this most difficult of times.

Health supplements for canines, felines (and people)

We have developed this site to try and provide information to help owners who have a pet diagnosed with a serious disease. Having had three dogs ourselves with cancer, we appreciate what a worrying time this can be. While your vet will be helping you with expert information on the health issue and treatment, feel free to use our site for information, which in most cases is independent from any products we offer.

"Dogs with cancer can be helped using holistic pet care," says Susan B. Davis, veterinary nutritionist.

Diet and nutritional supplements can help boost a dog's immune system, increase longevity and overall quality of life. Dogs and cats with cancer need a diet that is high in quality protein, low in carbohydrates and rich in enzymes and Omega 3 fatty acids.".

Susan Blake Davis, is a  Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN)   She is on staff at VCA Arroyo Animal Hospital in Lake Forest, CA and also provides nutrition consultations at the Veterinary Cancer Group in Tustin, CA.

K9 Health Support specializes in offering supplements which assists your pet when facing a serious health challenge such as cancer. We especially recommend K9 Immunity, K9 Transfer Factor and other products to support your dog when fighting disease. Your vet will have recommended the most appropriate conventional treatment for your pet, then as Dr Kevin Hahn says, "Don't forget there is a pet attached to the tumor." (Preventing and Treating Cancer in Dogs, by Dr Shawn Messonier - book available in our Product List - this is an extremely worthwhile read).

Dr Messonier in his book goes on to say, "The only way to win the war against cancer is to make the pet as healthy as possible, while we're (the Vet) treating the cancer. This may mean using supplements to support the liver, the gastrointestinal system, ... Nutritional support is important".

To assist your pet fighting disease, we offer a range of supplements which may help to boost the Immune system, and support overall health and quality of life.

We especially recommend K9 Immunity(TM) and other products to help support your pet's immune system when fighting disease.

K9 Immunity(TM) is a daily supplement derived from all natural, all 100% certified organic sources manufactured in the United States to the highest pharmaceutical standards. It consists of extracts from six mushrooms, Agaricus blazei, Cordyceps sinensis hybrid, lentinula edodes, Grifola frondosa, Ganoderma lucidium, and Coriolus versicolor.

K9 Immunity(TM) is for use to help boost the immune system in dogs fighting serious illness such as cancer. It is made from the same pharmaceutical grade immune supporting compounds as the human grade Immune-Assist, but formulated specially for dogs. It was first developed as an offshoot of Aloha Medicinals human research and applied for Seeing Eye dogs in the United States who were fighting cancer, and is now available for your dog. This is a supplement that has been used in thousands of dogs with serious health challenges. Further information about K9 Immunity can be found here on our website.

There is now a new supplement by the same company, K9 Immunity Plus, which is a combination of the original K9 Immunity with transfer factor and some omegas, all in an easy to give chew. Most dogs like this form, which makes it easier to give.It is also a little stronger than the capsule form, though we still have the original K9.
