Acidosis is a condition which is typically respiratory (increased blood acidity due to breathing difficulties) or metabolic (increased blood acidity due to chemical changes in the body). In some cases both factors exist concurrently.

Symptoms may include:   nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and respiratory problems.

Acidosis in a dog and how it relates to "Kidney Disease"

Metabolic acidosis in dog is caused by artifical chemical type commercial diet.  If the diet is acidic, ie too low in ph, over time it will do damage to the dog's kidneys and will have a negative impact on the overall health and well being of the dog.

Once the kidneys become damaged, they can no longer properly remove toxic waste from the blood.  Urea and nitrogen are main examples of this waste which is caused by the consumption of acidic processed pet food.  The blood becomes overloaded with waste and now the cat has become uremic.  The symptoms of uremia in cats are similar to those of kidney disease.

Food supplements like Spirulina and Vital Greens on the other hand, is not only the highest known source of protein on the entire planet {60-67%} it is NOT acidic at all and therefore is almost 100% absorbable and usable by the body and it has the 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own.

What is it?  

It's a blue-green algae and vegetable plankton that grows in fresh water lakes throughout the world.  Guess what else? The pycocyanin in these powders has been shown to actually support and protect against kidney failure.

Dosage supplement suggestion:

Cat, toy dog:   add a pinch of Spirulina or Vital Greens powder - mixed well into meals at least once a day, or twice a day if symptoms are acute.  After a couple of weeks, improvements should be seen and dosage can then reduce to once a day or every second or third day of supplementing food.

Large dog and humans:   A tablespoon. Humans can mix in water or their favourite milk shake. Take once to twice daily.
