The Source for the K9Solution!

The K9Solution difference:

        The K9Solution was originally developed with the highest performing dogs in mind, Greyhounds, yet can be used with any breed where higher performance is desired.

Typically, when used in a kennel setting with the only difference in the week to week training routine being the use of the K9Solution, the average improvement for the WHOLE Kennel will be about 4 lengths. Averages being averages some dogs will get much better, two or three GRADES better, some will improve a grade or two, while a few will show smaller immediate improvements.
Over the course of many years, using this solution at various tracks, on several farms and given to hundreds of dogs (Greyhounds, Bulldogs, and Bird Dogs also included), no dogs have shown any negative effects. Yet the POSITIVE effects can be quite profound.

        Contrary to what many people may think, thinning hair and bald spots on Greyhounds are NOT "the nature of the Beast". This is ALWAYS an indication of a deeper problem. Most of the time it indicates Hypothyroidism, but can also indicate injuries, or lack of proper nutritional absorption as well. One of the properties of the K9Solution is that it helps to balance and boost the endocrine system... which in effect takes care of two of the most common causes of the bald thigh syndrome in Greyhounds. In effect, if you are giving nutritional supplements to your Dogs and you STILL have ANY thin haired or bald thighed Greyhounds in your Kennel, your Dogs are NOT running to their full potential and you NEED to at least TRY the K9Solution.

        The K9Solution also contains elements that increase and improve an animal's blood circulation, red cell count, and vascular function. Allowing your dog to run faster, longer, and recover quicker... Essential for improved performance. It also contains palatable Potassium, Calcium and other elements, which make it possible for the muscles in the improved performance animal to "keep up", not cramp, recover faster, and make positive useful gains.

Testing and seeing the improvement in a Greyhound kennel is easily accomplished.
1) Pick out a set of 10 dogs who are underachieving as racers
2) Average all their race times and finishes for their last start.
3) Starting right after they run, give the dogs the K9Solution daily all they way through their next start and don't change a thing in their normal routine otherwise.
4) While keeping the dogs on the K9Solution, average their running times and finishes for the next 10 days.
5) Note the overall improvement in times & finishes, and
6) SMILE all the way to the Bank!

        Greyhounds balance on the edge of physical strength and speed against what is actually possible on a racetrack... even the slightest improvements in overall performance are quite a leap. The K9Solution is one of those products that help to make a Quantum Leap forward possible!
For OTHER Breeds of Sporting Dogs... Bulldogs, Hog Dogs, Guard Dogs, Police Dogs and Bird Dogs of all types... The effects on endurance, strength, alertness and overall performance of duties are safely and greatly enhanced even more noticeably!

So... What makes the K9Solution better than other things that are out there???

It's really quite simple. The K9Solution is a liquified nutritional supplement that can be readily and fully absorbed and then utilized by Animals. Whereas almost ALL other major brands of vitamin and supplement combinations, simply cannot realistically make that claim.

People need to understand something, and that is, which vitamins, minerals and supplements are actually able to be digested, absorbed and utilized by the body.

Concerning how ANYTHING is digested... After an animal eats something, it's stomach fluids MUST be able to break it down and turn it into a liquid and absorbable form. Once the substance is broken down into a liquid form it MUST be water soluble to be absorbed and then properly utilized by the body. In an animal, it's body can only use vitamins and minerals that are water soluble in nature. "Water soluble" means "fully soluble in water, small enough to enter a cell and in a form the body can use without changing it." Unfortunately most vitamin and mineral supplements are not truely water soluble.

In other words, animals cannot utilize pills, powders, flakes or any other solid vitamin, mineral or element unless they can DIGEST them.

One of the truely unique characteristics of the K9Solution is it contains actually needed performance supplements... that are FULLY digestable, absorbable and utilized FAR more efficiently than almost ANY animal supplement out there.

Proof is below.

First, we compiled a list vitamins and supplements found in a Kennel setting.
Then we chose the eight most common.
1. Canine Red Cell
2. Centrum Multivitamins
3. Lixotinic
4. Caltrate
5. C-Kelp Extract
6. Citrical
7. Dinovite
8. Seaweed Extract

1) Each supplement was placed in a vial.
2) 1 ounce of Vinegar, Water and Acid (simulated digestive fluid) was added to the vial
3) After 20 minutes a photo of the absorption progress is made
4) After an hour all the vials were taken out and given a good shake by hand
5) At one hour and five minutes another photo was taken of the sediment settling in vials
6) The vials were agitated for 2 hours on a vertical vibrator.
7) 24 hours later settlement of sediment is backlit and photographed
8) All vials were then shaken and poured into coffee filters and the resulting sediment was measured and photographed

        When we first decided to allow the K9Solution to be marketed we knew the improvements in speed and endurance in Greyhounds are quite easy to see, but charting them out in a standard way can be a problem... We didn't want to have a control group because we want ALL our Greyhounds to do as well as possible. So it was suggested we devise a fair experiment using nonperformance animals and then chart it out... Many options were considered and because of ease of standardization, price, ease of maintenance and the fact they're vermin, we decided to go with White Lab Mice.

The Mouse Experiment, more PROOF of The K9Solution's effectiveness... even in MICE! :

First, we obtained 80 two month old White Lab Mice and made sure they were all Female. All females meant there would be no unwanted pregnancies and hopefully they would all get along better with less fighting as well.
The mice were then divided into 4 groups of 20. All four groups were put into identical cages and had identical food, water and bedding change schedules. After a week, so the exact food and water intake amounts of the mice were known, the experiment began.
Group A was the Control Group. They had food, water, bedding and nothing else.
Group B had the K9Solution added to their water.
Group C was exactly like Group A but were taken out of their cage, and exercised everyday on a Whole Body Vibration Platform (WBV) for 20 minutes (10 minutes at 25 Hz & 10 minutes at 50 Hz with 1-2 mm amplitude)
Group D had it all, the K9Solution added to their water and they used the WBV platform at the same time as Group C.

Step 1, Phase 1, 14 days after the experiment began, half the mice from each cage were taken out and given a black mark unique to the Group they came from and then placed into a 5 gallon bucket.
Group A was not marked.
Group B was marked just above their tails.
Group C was marked on the nape of their neck.
Group D was marked on their head.
Step 2, the mice in the bucket were all poured at once from the bucket into a 20 gallon aquarium that had 10 gallons of water in it.
Step 3, a stopwatch was activated, the mice were observed as to which ones went down from which Groups and the amount of time it took was marked.
Step 4, Phase 2, 6 weeks after the experiment began, the other half of the mice from all the Groups underwent Steps 1 - 3.

Results from Phase 1 and Phase 2 were very similar. The first to go down was from Group A, at about 21-24 minutes, and in both Phases the last mouse to go down was from Group D at around 3 ½ hours.
After 2 hours more than half the mice had gone down in both Phase 1 and Phase 2. The only real surprise in the experiment was that mice from Group B (K9Solution only added), stayed up longer than mice from Group C (Exercise only added). It was no surprise that Group D (Exercise and K9Solution both added) stayed up longer than all three of the other groups.

Conclusions:
Group B had about 37% more endurance than Group A
Group D (Exercise & K9Solution) only had about 5% more endurance than Group B
Group D had about 11% more endurance than Group C (exercise only)
And the big surprise; Mice who did nothing but regularly ingest the K9Solution and had no added exercise (Group B), as opposed to mice who did exercise but did not ingest the K9Solution (Group C)...
Group B had about 6% more endurance than Group C

The Chart below illustrates the average difference between the four Groups of mice in the experiment. Some mice performed well above the averages while others performed well below the averages shown.

If you aren't running with it... do you really want to run against it?!?

The K9Solution consists of all Hospital-Research grade ingredients in the proper proportions and ratios for maximum benefit. Included in the ingredients are the following:
Sodium Nitrite, a vasodilator that expands the vascular system in athletic animals, allows for more efficient blood flow.
Potassium Iodide, used in conjunction with iodine making it more effective
Iodine, necessary for stabilization of the endocrine system (thyroid gland ect.)
Calcium, necessary for a dog's "structure", but also necessary for proper nervous system function
Magnesium Gluconate, a necessary "helper" element that MUST be used if proper calcium absorption and utilization is wanted
Potassium Citrate, helps to prevent tying up, cramping and other muscle problems
Iron Gluconate, helps build hemoglobin and myoglobin, the form of hemoglobin found in muscle tissue, also helps with blood oxygenation
Zinc Gluconate, good for oil glands, skin, wound regeneration, muscle developement etc, it is also a tremendous immune system booster
Boron, enhances calcium, magnesium and vit. D usage. Also helps with arthritis
Manganese Gluconate, helps the body to utilize choline and other important nutrients
Copper Gluconate, necessary to produce hemoglobin, red blood cells, elastin, and collagen very beneficial for proper healing
Chromium Gluconate, helps a body metabolize it's food and aids in the production of insulin
Selenium, aids in fighting infections, helps flush toxins and aids in making the body and blood "flow" easier, also considered as a cancer fighter
Cobalt Gluconate, required for red cell production and the prevention of anemia

Each nutrient is digestible, completely absorbable, and prepared by using gluconic acid and or citric acid.
In other words, you're getting a premium grade supplement, that's been tested and proven to do what's it's supposed to do... which makes it unique among animal directed nutritional supplements.
