(FORT WORTH, TX) ––With fall approaching, it is important to be aware of conditions that affect joints in pets, cooler weather being one of them. Reports indicate approximately twenty percent of dogs over one year of age suffer from osteoarthritis and up to 90 percent of cats 12 years and older may have radiographic evidence of disease.Tomlyn veterinarian, Dr. Jim Lowe, offers insight to the signs, treatment and tips for a pet with osteoarthritis.Predisposing factors for osteoarthritis include obesity, larger breed pets, and previous musculoskeletal trauma.  Warning signs of osteoarthritis include exercise intolerance and decreased appetite.  While there is no way to prevent osteoarthritis, proper diet with an emphasis on weight control, frequent, controlled exercise, and joint supplements may slow progression of the disease.Using ramps instead of stairs and placing food and water bowls close to where the pet spends most of its time are ways to accommodate a pet with osteoarthritis. It’s also important to block off staircases to limit attempts of traveling up and down stairs.Pet parents often struggle to get large non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) into their pet’s mouth. With osteoarthritis, pets have to take medicine one to two times per day, making this struggle a stressful, but necessary, one.  Dr. Lowe points out that osteoarthritis can occur in any age or breed and requires life-long administration of medicine, along with additional therapeutic support. To ease this process, Tomlyn’shas developed their Pill-Masker for Dogs and Cats, which comes in two versions: one of which is wheat-free. This alternative to pill pockets is a bacon-flavored paste that fits all pill shapes and sizes, doesn’t dry out and won’t stick to floors or furniture.“The wheat, corn, and BHA-free presentation meets the needs of the consumer with pets requiring special dietary attention,” said Dr. Lowe. “So often the pet owner fails to recognize that when administering medications to such animals that wrapping in cheese or a hot dog to mask the pill can affect the animal.”For more information on Tomlyn, visit the company’swebsite, Facebook and Pinterest pages.

(FORT WORTH, TX) –– Labor Day holiday is upon us and a Tomlyn veterinarian, Dr. Jim Lowe, has advice for anyone traveling with pets.Tomlyn is a 40-year-old company founded by vets and owned by the ninth largest vet pharmaceutical companies in the world, Vetoquinol. Many of their products contain the highest level of the active ingredient on the market for OTC supplements, and are formulated to exceed industry-mandated standards. “A first aid kit for your pet is a simple, inexpensive way to prevent exacerbating a problem while away from home with your pet,” said Dr. Lowe. “People keep a first aid kit on-hand for human accidents, and it’s just as important to do the same for your pet.”Dr. Lowe suggests five key products to keep in your pet’s first aid kit: Emetic. This is an agent that causes vomiting. While inducing vomiting is not recommended in most circumstances, pets can get into poisonous substances while on vacation. Since the environment is new, pet owners don’t have control over what is around them. Anti-diarrheal agent. Due to changes in routine and diet, pets can experience irregularities and discomfort while on vacation. Anti-diarrheal agents contain kaolin and pectin to dry up the stool and relieve bowel irritation. Wound care materials. A small supply of bandage material (cotton padding, non-adhering wound pads, elastic tape) should be on hand. Additionally, a small bottle of sterile wound irrigation (water, physiologic saline) can be used to flush contaminated wounds of debris and potential pathogens. Topical wound care product. Topical products are available containing antibiotics to control infection and agents for minimizing pain and inflammation. These products are offered in gels and sprays. Allergy medication. In case of allergic reaction, consult with your veterinarian regarding an appropriate antihistamine/allergy medication to have on hand.

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 20, 2015 – As the weather warms up, cats and ferrets begin to shed their winter coats – which can mean more hairballs. While hairballs are most common in the spring and fall when the weather changes, it’s little consolation for owners who have to clean them up. “Hairballs are not only unpleasant, they can be potentially dangerous if they cause an intestinal blockage,” said Dr. Brian McLaughlin, a veterinarian with pet health and wellness company Tomlyn. ”Your pet may have a hairball if he or she vomits their food frequently.” Hairballs are caused when a pet ingests hair into its digestive tract, usually while grooming. While most are eliminated in the litter box, some sit in the stomach or small intestines and create a “ball” that cannot escape through traditional routes. Some common signs of a hairball include hacking, gagging or vomiting.  There are several ways to prevent or treat hairballs. Grooming to eliminate some fur on a brush can help, as can diverting their attention with play or new toys to prevent them from grooming out of boredom. Finally, consider a supplement, like Tomlyn’s Laxatone for Cats and Ferrets. Laxatone coats the hair stuck in the digestive tract and helps the animal eliminate hairballs in a litter box. The formula, which has been trusted for nearly 40 years, is available as a gel or a chew from Amazon, Petco, and Doctors Foster & Smith.            About Tomlyn® Tomlyn is a pet health and wellness company founded in 1976 that carries a complete line of scientifically developed, veterinarian-approved pet health care products that follow National Animal Supplement Council guidelines. The company has a wide range of product categories, including: immune support, vitamins and high-calorie supplements, hairball remedies, joint and hip support, calming aids, pilling solutions, skin, ears, and eyes, all-natural remedies and sanitizers.

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 22, 2015 – Tomlyn, makers of pet health and wellness products, is monitoring the supply and availability of Trifectant®, a broad-spectrum disinfectant capable of killing 99.9 percent of major viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens, including those that cause canine flu. The H3N2 virus, which is new to the United States, has infected more than 1,000 dogs and killed at least six in the Midwest. “While canine flu isn’t new, it mutates just like human flu,” said Dr. Brian McLaughlin, a Tomlyn veterinarian. “This strain isn’t protected by an existing vaccine because it’s never been seen in the U.S. That’s why it’s dangerous and important to prevent.”  The virus has an incubation period of one to three days, but infected dogs can be contagious for up to two weeks. Symptoms include coughing, nasal discharge, fever and loss of appetite. It is currently not a threat to humans. The virus most commonly spreads through close contact between dogs at daycare centers, boarding facilities, dog parks and similar “crowded” areas. According to McLaughlin, facilities should aim to prevent the virus’ spread by properly disinfecting with a product like Trifectant. It mixes with water for a ready-to-use solution that is safe for humans and animals, biodegradable and effective at killing pathogens that cause canine flu, parvovirus and other diseases that can affect dogs, cats, horses or other animals. Trifectant is available over-the-counter from Jeffers Pets, Doctors Foster & Smith, Healthy Pets and a variety of local retailers.

Supplements support balanced microbial flora and intestinal healthFORT WORTH, Texas, March 4, 2015 – Tomlyn®, creator of pet health and wellness products, today announced the release of its new Pre and Probiotic supplements for dogs and cats. Both formulas come as water-soluble powders for easy use."A healthy level of beneficial bacteria is essential to good health – both in humans and in pets," said Jim Spiezio, DVM, a Tomlyn veterinarian. "Dogs' and cats' intestinal tracts naturally contain bacterial microorganisms, which are beneficial and help our pets digest food and absorb vitamins and nutrients. Pre and probiotic supplementation is a great way to ensure the health of your pet, and that’s where Tomlyn's Pre and Probiotic supplements come in."Because the amount of intestinal flora fluctuates, sometimes pets don’t have enough healthy bacteria. According to Dr. Spiezio, this can be caused by treatment with antibiotics, a dietary imbalance, dietary indiscretion or even unexplained low levels from birth. While a balanced diet may help replenish some good bacteria, sometimes supplementation is necessary to promote optimal digestive flora and digestive health.Tomlyn's Pre and Probiotic supplements are sold in individual packets for easy use, as well as to maintain live cells. The supplements for dogs and cats are made up of an advanced formula with one of the highest colony-forming units (CFUs) of probiotics available on the market today – with more than 8 billion CFUs per dog packet, 4 billion per cat packet and added prebiotics to support the growth of beneficial bacteria. The supplements contain direct-fed microbial structures to supply beneficial microorganisms that occur naturally in the hindgut of healthy animals with the nutrients they need to begin healthy colonies. These microorganisms include Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophillus and Bifidobacterium breve, among others. Finally, the flavorless, odorless powder is easy to use by mixing in with a pet’s water or food once per day.For more information on the supplements, visit the products page at Tomlyn.com.About Tomlyn®Tomlyn is a pet health and wellness company founded in 1976 that carries a complete line of the finest scientifically developed, veterinarian-approved pet health care products that follow National Animal Supplement Council guidelines.

"Our goal at Tomlyn has always been to make supplements as great tasting as they are beneficial. By introducing Nutri-Cal in a soft chew form, pet owners are able to decide which delivery method is best for their animal–the original gel or the new soft chews.In addition to Nutri-Cal Soft Chews, Tomlyn has developed Pill-Masker, a shapeable paste that wraps around pills of any shape or form to allow for a smooth delivery of needed medicines. Once a pill is wrapped with the moist, meat-flavored paste, pets eat it like a treat.Tomlyn Business Unit Manager Peter Trevino noted, "Many pet owners need a simple solution to give their pets medication, since pills are necessary but do not taste good by themselves. Pill-Masker is unique in that it is a paste that conforms to the shape of the pill–much like putty–preserving the medicine intact and wrapping it in a meat flavor that dogs and cats will love. And, unlike peanut butter-based products, the paste doesn't stock to fingers."Available through pet product distributors, Tomlyn products are offered at pet stores nationwide.
