A laxative with a stool softener (i.e. Senokot®•S ) can help provide more comfortable relief when constipation is accompanied with hard, dry stools. The laxative provides the muscle contractions to move the waste through the colon, while the stool softener (i.e. docusate sodium) softens the stool for added comfort.

Sometimes, by simply changing your diet or getting back to your regular schedule may help you get back to your normal bowel routine. However, if diet and lifestyle changes are not enough, or when your constipation is the result of a medication you take, laxatives may be an appropriate treatment. There are several types of laxatives to consider when choosing a laxative. If you are unsure, consult your healthcare professional. See similar questions...

Yes, but the Miracle Wash balls increase the pH level of the water, which naturally softens the clothes so you don’t need to use a fabric softener. Be aware that most fabric softeners contain toxic chemicals. We breathe the aromatic molecules in the air near the clothes or absorb them through the skin via direct contact with the clothes (which, by design, retain some of the fabric softener molecules).

This is a matter of personal choice. A softener will improve the efficiency and increase the life of appliances using hot water. It will make lathering easier and reduce tide marks on sanitary ware. Some people with skin conditions, such as eczema, have fewer problems if they use soft water for washing. But if you do install a water softener you should make sure that you have a supply of unsoftened water for drinking and cooking. See similar questions...

No! Most stores that sell softener salt also sell a water softener salt substitute called potassium chloride. The potassium chloride for softeners is just as effective as regular softener salt but adds potassium instead of sodium. The cost of potassium chloride is a little more than regular softener salt but well worth the small increase if you have concerns about residual sodium in your water. See similar questions...

Yes. Potassium chloride can be used in place of water softener salt, though you may have to adjust the fill time. As a result more potassium chloride may have to be used than salt. Potassium chloride is generally more expensive than salt. Call 1-866-725-9662 for advice. See similar questions...

This is perfectly natural and safe, however, as all of the ingredients used in White Bites treats are considered safe for humans and animals. See similar questions...

Depending on what your dog has presently been eating, stool size ins generally much more compact and odorless than when a dog has been fed processed pet foods. This is because our BARF diet contains no extra or unnecessary fillers or grains. Fillers and grains are much harder to digest and thus are eliminated from the body without being utilized- thus causing a more voluminous stool. The stool color may vary somewhat depending on which protein source is being fed. See similar questions...

Bloody stool is caused by a problem somewhere in your digestive tract. There could be many causes of bloody stool. The first step is to determine where the bleeding is occurring. This is done by observing the color of the blood. Bright red bloody stools are often an indicator that the bleeding is near the anus. Darker blood suggests that the problem is farther up the digestive tract. See similar questions...
