		<description>I always resort to natural alternatives first and it scares me to go pharmaceutical; even on myself.
My black lab/malamute mix (Ringo) is going to be 13 this year--and is an excellent dog. He&#039;s been amazing &amp; pup like until recently.
Recently he&#039;s been dropping poops around the house (randomly).  I brought him to our wonderful vet Dr. Eric Foot (Montreal Vet).  Eric suggested we try Metacam &amp; see what happens.  It works.  He is back to normal in the poop category.  Dr. Foot&#039;s explanation was that sometimes arthritis affects the sphincter muscle&#039;s ability to hold the poop; so it just exits.  MY QUESTION: Are you aware of any non-NSAID way of getting the sphincter to not do this, or is this likely the best way to go for this particular issue?
Thanks -- Although they eat Organic Dog kibble and my own cooking, I give my 3 dogs your supplement.</description>
