1. Naturally discourage fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, lice and other insects from your dog and cat.
2. Help treat flea [or lice] infestations on your dog or cat.
3. Soothe discomfort due to e.g. your dog or cat's skin flea allergies.

A new study published in the Cadillac of all journals, Nature, analyzed 32 dry & canned pet food products from the United States, (93 in total worldwide) and revealed a widespread presence of toxic metals, including chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), & arsenic (As), across various brands. Notably, lead (Pb) levels were the highest overall, with some samples exceeding established regulatory safety limits.

Exposure to lead in dogs can have negative effects on the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, cardiovascular system, and blood. Cadmium is known for its cumulative toxicity and can induce cancer in animals through various mechanisms, and exposure to it can cause nephrotoxicity and damage to the small intestine. These heavy metals found in pet food place added stress on key organs, especially the kidneys, which are responsible for filtering toxins from the body. Over time, that toxic burden can contribute to kidney dysfunction and disease. 😿

So what can you do?

One simple way to support detox is chlorella🦠— a green algae known for its ability to bind heavy metals in the gut and support gentle detoxification. It’s not a cure-all, but it can be a helpful part of your toolkit. (Be sure to use a clean, third-party tested brand.)

If you are feeding your dogs Kibble, you are doing them harm. It might not be obvious, but you are absolutely shortening their lives.

Why?

Because number one, it's DEAD FOOD - there is negative life force in this food, it takes from your pet's vitality to digest it - even though it technically is a balanced diet.

Number two, the ingredients are AWFUL. Meat and bone meals for 'protein' (essentially deep fried junk food), loads of carbohydrates (which are fattening, contribute to inflammation, can trigger diabetes), and then a whole lot of 'window dressing' ingredients (which sound like they are amazing, but the amounts are so low that they don't do anything useful) and synthetic vitamins/minerals etc (which are poorly absorbed and have little or no bioavailability).

Number three, it's all stored for long periods and nearly always has siginifcant amounts of mould etc. It's all as stale as last year's bread.

AWFUL+++++++++

You need to feed a raw, or home cooked (home cooked is absolutely fine) diet - it'll mean a leaner, healthier, more vital, less itchy, less inflamed dog who lives longer! About 70% proteien, 30% veggies, a topper like wellbeing essentials to make it a complete diet. Or you get a commercial complete diet BARF type raw food, and feed that.

This is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do for your pet's wellbing.

Let me know in the chat - what kinds of changes have you seen in your pets after you made this change? I know my little dog stopped being itchy, stopped being chubby, and got a whole lot more active.
