How do I ... ?

...help my pet with Allergies? Arthritis? Valley Fever? FUS? Cancer? Hairballs? Diabetes? Chronic Infections? Mange? Crystals? Bad Breath?

In addition to Dr. Newman's foundation supplements for basic health, we have proven products and protocols that address all of these conditions and many more. For the fastest, most detailed answers to your questions, call our trained product support staff at 520-886-1727 or 520-293-6639 Monday thru Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm (MST)

...get my pet to take these extracts or supplements? How long should I use them? When should I see results? 

Supplements work best when your pet actually takes them! Sometimes easier said than done, but that is when we need to be "pet parents". Not everything that is good and necessary for your pet tastes terrific. However, there are ways to hide it: Azmira canned food formulas, chicken broth, tuna juice, apple juice, etc. are among the many ways we have found over the years to help you help your pet take the needed herbs and supplements. 

Remember, supplementing your pet should NOT become an added stress. The Holistic Animal Care Lifestyle® can be added gradually to avoid a sudden shock to their palate. This approach is successful in large part because it is NOT a shotgun method of using everything you've heard might be good and hoping something works, but not really knowing what works and why.

Where can I find ... ?

...Azmira? Why isn't it in the chain stores?

 Azmira products are sold in a variety of stores, clinics and online retail sites which you can review at Your Local Azmira Retailer All Azmira Products are listed and briefly described in this website. You can call 800-497-5665 to request a product guide and mail order catalogue.

Azmira is the only complete natural pet care product line still owned and actually run by a pet care expert. We do not sell to chain discounters or create larger profits by using cheap, worthless ingredients. We choose to spend our money on top quality ingredients, research and following Dr. Newman's vision of providing the highest quality products possible.

...the expiration date? Lot number?

Because of the range of products and different packaging, this information is in various places on each container. Canned foods are stamped with a code which you can call us and we can decipher for you; dry foods are stamped with the manufacture date and guaranteed for 12 months from that date; supplements, topical products, herbs and homeopathic remedies have a sticker on the bottom with this information.

...proven methods of helping my pet naturally? More information about Azmira recommendations?

Dr. Newman is the author of eight books (soon to be nine) on natural pet care. You can find more detailed information in these. Many articles in a variety of publications have also been authored by Dr. Newman or written about her findings, products and methods over the past 20 years. There are also Holistic Animal Care Lifestyle® correspondence courses for self paced study. Call 800-497-5665 to request class information.

Why should I ... ?

...supplement my pet? Isn't food enough?

Even with the best quality, balanced diet, nutritional supplementation is necessary to provide many nutrients now missing from our food chain. Years of over-farming, the use (and abuse) of chemicals, fertilizers and various environmental pollution such as acid rain, have taken their toll. Even organic farming cannot guarantee that the produce will be more nutritious, as it will take approximately 75 years for lost nutrients to return to the soil. Many pets have physical ailments and weaknesses requiring additional nutritional support for symptom reversal. Also, years of over-breeding has left many fine breeds genetically predisposed to certain conditions. With proper supplementation, these pets can lead healthy happy lives. 

...use Azmira? It seems expensive?

Both quality ingredients and mass national marketing cost money. Azmira chooses to put money into top quality ingredients. Some companies put money into cute commercials or marketing gimmicks instead. They often offer many different foods targeted to special diet needs, breeds, sizes, ages or symptoms. When customers find marketing can no longer hide the fact that the food isn't helping their pet, these companies have many variations to offer. Most pet owners spend the life of their pet jumping from one food to another, constantly hoping for one that delivers as promised. 

Azmira chooses to spend its money on only the highest quality ingredients instead of the wastes, caste offs and garbage of the human food industry, our products work as promised. Comparatively speaking, The Holistic Animal Care LifeStyle® is actually less costly than a lifetime of symptom chasing and allopathic care.

Special Diets ... ?

Do you have raw diets?

Dr. Newman does not endorse raw diets because over time the typical initial improvement does not last. Cautions Against Raw Food Diets tells you more about this. Dogs and cats have been domesticated for over 14,000 years and have been eating our cooked food for most of that. Because of their rapid rates of reproduction and evolution (especially compared to that of man) our pets lack many of the natural digestive abilities of their still wild cousins. They have lost the ability to optimally digest raw meat tissue, bone, hide, feathers, etc. on a regular basis. 

My pet gets kidney/bladder stones or crystals? Do I need a special diet?

Stones can be caused by a genetic weakness, chemical exposure or poor quality diet and lifestyle. No, we do not believe you need a 'special' diet. Our experience shows you need a complete, high quality, easy to digest diet with proper supplementation to address the cause directly. We do not endorse prescription diets due to the poor quality ingredients they typically contain. For specific Azmira recommendations concerning stones and crystals, please call our trained product support staff at 520-293-6639 or 520-886-1727.

What is ... ?

...Azmira? What does it mean? What does it do?

The word "Azmira" derives from Dr. Newman's early years when people referred to her expertise and products as the "Arizona Miracle"

... the "cleansing response"? What should I expect?

This varies by individual according to yours pet's age, diagnosis, lifestyle, severity of symptoms, etc. The cleansing response can range from increased shedding, panting, sleeping and water drinking all the way to loose stools and self-fasting. Not every pet will have outward signs of the cleansing response. 

...the shelf life on Azmira foods? There is no expiration date marked on the dry food bag.

Azmira believes in supplying the freshest product and giving consumers the most information possible. We stamp the manufacturing date on our dry food bags so you know exactly how old it is. Our industry leading barrier packaging allows us to guarantee our dry foods are fresh as the day they are made for one year after the day they were made. Once the bag is opened, we recommend you use the bag within 45 days.

...use more than one extract at once (mix them)? Can I mix them with vitamins?
