Bayer introduces Peroxigard™ — New technology with cleaning and disinfecting power
Bayer is proud to introduce Peroxigard — a new technology, new generation germicide that sets the standard for broad-spectrum cleaning and disinfecting.
Peroxigard is a unique, nontoxic formulation of Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide™, a patented, volatile-free liquid cleaning and disinfecting solution. It literally accelerates and enhances the already exceptional germicidal and cleaning performance of hydrogen peroxide. At the same time, it is safe to human and animal health, and the environment, because it contains no volatile organic compounds, dyes or fragrances. Peroxigard leaves no residual deposits and is noncorrosive to skin when properly diluted.
Tackling the veterinary industry's nastiest germs, Peroxigard rapidly kills enveloped and nonenveloped viruses including the nonenveloped Sabin vaccine strain of poliovirus type 1. Other microorganisms that it is effective against include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella choleraesuis, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, and gentamicin- and methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Broad-spectrum sanitization is provided in 30 seconds, and viruses and bacteria are killed in 5 minutes.

Breakthrough nutrition clinically proven to help fight canine brain aging and age-related behavior changes
New Hill's Prescription Diet® Canine b/d™ is the first and only pet food clinically proven to help combat signs of brain aging and improve the learning ability of older dogs.
Cognitive decline and age-related behavioral changes are seen in approximately 75% of dogs aged 7 years and older. These behavioral signs of brain aging are easily identified by the acronym “DISH”:
· Disorientation: the dog is confused or doesn't recognize normal routines or surroundings
· Interaction changes: the dog no longer greets family members, welcomes petting, or asks for attention
· Sleep/activity changes: the dog sleeps more during the day or less at night
· Housetraining forgotten: the dog has frequent accidents and doesn't “ask” to go outside
These changes are often simply accepted or ignored by pet owners as part of the normal aging process.
Prescription Diet Canine b/d is formulated from a ground breaking, patent-pending combination of antioxidants and key nutrients including vitamins E and C, L-carnitine, lipoic acid, and fatty acids, dehydroascorbic and eicosapentaenoic. Now there is a nutritional solution to combat these age-related behavioral changes and to help clients and their pets to enjoy an improved quality of life. Prescription Diet Canine b/d is available in 10 lb and 27.5 lb bags.
Clinical studies conclude that Prescription Diet Canine b/d is proven to help older dogs to improve alertness and increase attentiveness to problem-solving tasks. In addition, pet owners participated in an in-home study using Prescription Diet Canine b/d. The dramatic results showed that 74% of older dogs with a history of house soiling accidents experienced a reduction in accidents and 61% of dogs with diminished enthusiasm in greeting family members showed improvement after feeding b/d for 30 days.
