The Raw Truth

It’s interesting how we’ve come to accept that to feed our dogs, we only need to drop by our local pet store or supermarket and pick up a bag of the latest trendy, packaged food. Really, though, what we’ve bought into is the pet food industry sales pitch that states in order for our dogs to be healthy and eat a balanced diet they MUST eat this food. What we aren’t typically told is that it is this very food that is one of the major culprits behind the declining health of our dogs. What I am about to share with you is the raw truth behind these bags of kibble.

This isn’t meant to be an expose` but more of an unveiling so that you can make a proper informed choice about what to feed your dogs in order for them to thrive. Packaged dry foods have only been in existence for roughly 50 years and yet for some reason we’ve bought the untruth behind these packaged pet foods. These same words such as “balanced” diet and “scientific testing” are used quite avidly by our medical industry as well. It therefore should not surprise you to learn that the very same folks who manufacture these foods are the same ones who teach our veterinarians the little nutrition they learn in school. The veterinarians are also offered excellent incentives to encourage their clients to purchase and use this food for their dogs’ “good” health –which our dogs won’t have if we continue to feed them this way. read more



 

Parasites, Obesity and Paw Chewing

To clarify before I share my own approach to handling three of the most common ailments I hear about –parasites, obesity and paw chewing – I am a veterinary naturopath. I help my clients learn how to care for their dogs through nutrition and species specific feeding. Typically I can give them a “what I’d do if it were my dog” answer but I always suggest they get a diagnosis from their holistic veterinarian before embarking upon any natural remedy or treatment.

I’m lumping the three ailments or symptoms of parasites, obesity and paw chewing together for a reason. They all come together under poor nutrition and a weakened immune system which can often be addressed through a proper diet along with some natural modalities to control the parasites. Before I elaborate on just exactly what a proper diet is for a dog, let’s ask a couple of questions first so I don’t get any arguments regarding the diet. I’m just eliminating some of the typical responses beforehand! read more
