Nine years ago Barney was found wandering the streets of Los Angeles. Barney had suffered a fracture to his pelvis from an unknown cause. This fracture caused a portion of his pelvis to push on his colon which made it difficult for poor Barney to pass bowel movements. Two months after Friends of Animals rescued him, his new mom Valerie met him and fell in love.
Valerie reached out to NHV about a month ago looking for a solution for her furry fighter to help him soften up his stools. He was already taking Tripsy for healthy kidney function and maintenance but needed a little something extra to soften up his stools.
Maris was recommended to help ease Barney’s constipation.
Maris was recommended to help ease Barney’s constipation. A month later, Valerie is happy to report that a double dose of Maris has helped to ‘get things moving. It is safe to increase your fur kid’s dosages to up to double the recommended therapeutic dosage (if you feel they could use the extra support), but we recommend starting with the normal dosage and gradually increase.
Barney’s story is one of how far he has come along with the support of loving veterinarians, friends, and family. His transformation from a stray to a beloved friend is quite remarkable and shows how a little love can go a long way. We instantly fell in love with his sweet little face… How could he not wiggle into your heart? Here is Barney’s story in mom Valerie’s words:
Barney, a Corgi/Pittie mix, was found on the streets of LA starving (see attached photos after he had had his surgery). He was brought to a rescue that immediately took him to their veterinarian who at first thought he was a really old dog they were bringing in to put down. But when the doctor looked at his teeth, he realized Barney was maybe only 3 to 5 years old!
After some x-rays, the vet discovered a blockage which meant Barney couldn’t keep any food down. Most likely this was caused by the healed broken pelvis he had which literally pushes on his colon, making the passing of his stool a bit challenging if he doesn’t eat and drink properly. Living on the streets he was eating whatever he could find and most likely not drinking enough. His nickname at the vet’s office was “Skeletor!” Fortunately, the vet did an amazing job of removing a portion of his intestines, so Barney was able to eat and his colon began working again. == We adopted him in June of 2009, just 2 months after his surgery, and Barney has been a delight ever since. (We call him a Corgi Bull.) We’ve always had to be mindful of his diet, and it’s only in the last year or so that we’ve had some issues of constipation. At one point it was really bad so he was taking a prescription laxative.
It really got challenging last Autumn when Barney woke up with a senior vestibular disease, which is basically a case of vertigo. He of course couldn’t eat and the only food we could eventually get down to him was a cheap grocery store wet food. That definitely caused constipation, so we eventually weaned him back to his regular food, but off and on his constipation flared, and I did not want to continually have to reach for the Lactulose. That’s when a friend thankfully mentioned NHV’s Maris.
We tried a regular dose for about 10 to 12 days and saw no change, so after consulting NHV, we doubled the dose almost 2 weeks ago, and so far so good – truly a relief! I know Barney definitely feels better with that smile on his face, and so do we!
Causes of Constipation
One of the most frequent causes of constipation in dogs is dehydration. Some other common causes are internal obstructions that can compress the bowel from the outside (such as in Barney’s case) hernias, kidney disease, ingested hair or debris, side effects from medication, stress, parasites, and deficiencies in the diet. Depending on the severity, left untreated, constipation can become life-threatening!
Treatment
- Increase fiber and moisture intake. Feeding your dog a little bit of pumpkin with his food is a great way to prevent and cure constipation. Pumpkin is high in water content and a great source of fiber.
- Exercise. Just like humans, dogs need exercise and movement to encourage normal movement in the bowel.
- NHV Maris promotes soft stools while fostering good colon health. It works in chronic constipation and can help relieve gastrointestinal upset and megacolon. . The herbs are safe for long term use too! The vitamin rich and antispasmodic herbs gently encourage bowel movements and can help soothe irritated tissues—help fight bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal symptoms
We are so happy to hear that Barney recently celebrated his 9th rescue anniversary! Congratulations Barney… here is to many more happy years with your loving family!
If you have any questions about NHV products or if you are curious to know how we can help your pet with any health concerns, please get in touch with an NHV Pet Expert. We’d love to help, naturally!

What Causes Constipation in Cats?
Constipation occurs when a pet is unable to evacuate his or her bowels. When this occurs, water from fecal matter is absorbed by the colon, leaving a hard mass that is uncomfortable to pass.
Constipation may be caused by poor hydration or a dirty litter pan. Start by ensuring that your cat has easy access to clean drinking water and a clean litter box. Diet is another common factor. They may have ingested animal bones or other indigestible materials, like hair, certain plants, or litter.
Other possible causes may include:
- Chronic underlying conditions like kidney disease or arthritic discomfort
- Physical internal obstructions like a broken pelvis
- Some prescription medications
- Neuromuscular problems with the colon itself
- Anxiety
Constipation may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as inflammation of the colon, called colitis. If your kitty’s constipation is recurring, it’s important to schedule a visit with your vet to rule this out.

Holistic Rabbit Kidney Supplement Support
Sometimes it can be tricky to tell what is bothering your furry companion, because no two pets are alike! But a common health issue that affects our bunny pals is kidney disease. These two bean-shaped organs have several key roles: removing metabolic wastes from the body and maintaining the correct balance of water and electrolytes (salts) within the body. Another important role is producing essential hormones that help maintain healthy blood pressure, production of new blood cells, and allow the body to absorb salt. Lastly, the urinary system processes vitamin D - an integral component for calcium absorption and bone growth.
The two most common types of renal issues are kidney degeneration (often age-related) which can lead to organ failure and acute kidney failure, where symptoms develop suddenly over a few days or weeks and can lead to the kidneys shutting down quickly. This may cause irregularities in your bunny’s urinary output. To figure out if your furkiddo has kidney issues, your vet can run some tests like bloodwork, urinalysis, radiographs, ultrasounds, and/or CT scans, to further investigate their symptoms. The typical course of action for rabbit kidney problems includes intravenous fluid therapy (under the supervision of your trusted vet), the addition of glycoproteins and a kidney-specific, balanced diet.
Symptoms of Rabbit Kidney Problems
- Lethargy
- Lack of appetite
- Inappropriate urination
- Change in frequency of urination
- Straining to urinate
- Abnormal urine color
- Fever
- Soft stools, diarrhea, or constipation
- Possible seizures
- Tender kidneys (abdominal pain)
For kidney degeneration or acute kidney issues, we'd suggest adding a natural rabbit kidney supplement like NHV Tripsy™ to your bunny's daily feeding schedule. It can safely be used short-term as well as long-term as a natural health support. Tripsy™ promotes healthy kidney, bladder, and urinary tract functions and may eliminate kidney stone formation in all of your bunny pals (both young and old).
How NHV’s Supplements Ease Rabbit Kidney Problems
Kidney issues can cause a lot of stress and worry in your Lop and Lionhead pals. Ingredients like parsley piert and stone root have diuretic properties that gently regulate urine flow, if on the low/infrequent side, to help keep things flowing normally and prevent the formation of kidney and bladder calculi (often called stones). Herbs like Wild hydrangea and Gravel root have traditionally been used for supporting kidney and urinary health by helping to break down, dissolve and remove stones and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Other ingredients like Echinacea purpurea and Oregon grape's defense against microorganisms help combat infections. And lastly, Marshmallow soothes irritated internal tissues and protects cells from oxidative damage.
Causes for Kidney Issues in Rabbits
- Shock
- Trauma
- Stress
- Stroke
- Heart failure
- Blood infection
- Urinary tract obstruction
- Urinary tract infection
- Ageing
- Diabetes

The typical course of action for rabbit kidney problems includes intravenous fluid therapy (under the supervision of your trusted vet), the addition of glycoproteins and a kidney-specific, balanced diet.
Symptoms of Rabbit Kidney Problems
- Lethargy
- Lack of appetite
- Inappropriate urination
- Change in frequency of urination
- Straining to urinate
- Abnormal urine color
- Fever
- Soft stools, diarrhea, or constipation
- Possible seizures
- Tender kidneys (abdominal pain)
For kidney degeneration or acute kidney issues, we'd suggest adding a natural rabbit kidney supplement like NHV Tripsy™ to your bunny's daily feeding schedule. It can safely be used short-term as well as long-term as a natural health support. Tripsy™ promotes healthy kidney, bladder, and urinary tract functions and may eliminate kidney stone formation in all of your bunny pals (both young and old).
How NHV’s Supplements Ease Rabbit Kidney Problems
Kidney issues can cause a lot of stress and worry in your Lop and Lionhead pals. Ingredients like parsley piert and stone root have diuretic properties that gently regulate urine flow, if on the low/infrequent side, to help keep things flowing normally and prevent the formation of kidney and bladder calculi (often called stones). Herbs like Wild hydrangea and Gravel root have traditionally been used for supporting kidney and urinary health by helping to break down, dissolve and remove stones and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Other ingredients like Echinacea purpurea and Oregon grape's defense against microorganisms help combat infections. And lastly, Marshmallow soothes irritated internal tissues and protects cells from oxidative damage.
Causes for Kidney Issues in Rabbits

- Stress

- Heart failure
- Blood infection
- Urinary tract obstruction

Natural Constipation Support for Dogs
Besides straining and painful or difficult defecation, if you realize your pup is showing signs like hard, dry small stools, lethargy, loss of appetite, hunched posture or vomiting for more than two days, you should consider taking them to see your trusted vet to run some tests to figure out the underlying cause. Your vet will be able to check the consistency of the stools through a physical examination and get an idea of how advanced the constipation is. Further exams like lab tests, endoscopy, and image exams like X-rays and ultrasounds might be required to rule out other conditions like tumors in the GI tract, for instance. Musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, and diseases in the urinary tract also need to be ruled out since they can be the primary causes of constipation.
Constipation is a very serious symptom. It is important to keep in mind that chronic constipation can lead to more complicated issues like obstipation and megacolon. Obstipation happens when fecal matter becomes chronically compacted, and your furkiddo can't poop at all. Megacolon happens when the colon loses its normal motility and ability to eliminate waste normally. Obstipation and megacolon are complex health issues and may require manual or surgical removal by your trusted vet. The treatment for constipation will depend on the underlying cause, its severity and its duration.
For acute constipation or constipation that tends to recur, we'd suggest adding a natural dog constipation support remedy like NHV Maris to your pup’s daily meals. Maris’ gentle formulation means that you can safely increase the dosage on days that your pet needs the extra support. NHV Maris for dog constipation can safely be used short-term as well as long-term as natural health support. Maris promotes soft stools and may help improve colon health in puppies (vaccinated and weaned), as well as adult dogs.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Constipation Remedy Eases Constipation
Constipation can cause a lot of discomfort for your little one. Ingredients like Cascara Sagrada and Ginger can improve intestinal muscle tone, reduce muscle cramping during bowel movements and relieve nausea. The laxative properties in Maris create softer stool, which also makes bowel movements easier and reduces straining. Herbs like Dandelion promote healthy movement through the colon by stimulating bile flow while Marshmallow soothes and lubricates irritated digestive tissues.
Causes for Constipation in Dogs
There are many different causes for constipation such as:
- Diet. Just like humans, pets with a diet insufficient in fiber can present constipation.
- Intestinal blockages. Some pets can also accidentally swallow indigestible materials which may cause blockages and abnormal fecal transit.
- Hairballs can also cause constipation in extreme cases.
- Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
- Low activity levels.
- Tumors either inside the gastrointestinal tract or external to this system.
- Elderly pets seem to be more prone to constipation. One of the reasons is because some of them have pain and discomfort associated with other concurrent conditions.
- Anal gland issues and conditions in the prostate.
- Medications such as opiates, diuretics, antihistamines, and antacids.
- Diseases like hypothyroidism, chronic kidney failure, osteoarthritis, and orthopedic conditions in general, central nervous system disorders, stress, and skin conditions.
