🫀 I am a big fan of using food therapy to treat my patients. For pets with heart disease their diet should include heart muscle.

Heart supplies carnitine and taurine, which are very important amino acids for the heart. If you don’t want to handle raw hearts, freeze dried heart treats are a huge hit in my house! Chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, and pork freeze dried hearts are all available on DrJudyMorgan.com.

Whether your dog is on a fresh food diet or eats kibble, these five foods will boost his immune system with their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties.

🧡 Turmeric contains an anti-cancer compound, curcumim. Three mechanisms of curcumin aid in cancer prevention and treatment: inhibition of cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and inhibition of angiogenesis.

🥥 MCT oil offers multifaceted support for dogs battling cancer. Its key component, lauric acid, converts into monolaurin, bolstering the immune system’s ability to combat disease-causing microorganisms while potentially easing inflammation.

🫑 Luteolin, found in green peppers, possesses antioxidant and anticancer properties, inhibiting cancer cell growth and promoting apoptosis, a natural process that eliminates malfunctioning cells.

🥦 Sulforaphane, derived from glucosinolates in broccoli, possesses potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, aiding in the detoxification process and inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells. Additionally, broccoli’s ability to modulate inflammatory processes and fortify the immune system can contribute to a dog’s overall health and resilience against cancer.

🍄‍🟫 Medicinal mushrooms have immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Compounds like beta-glucans found in mushrooms have shown potential anti-tumor effects, while adaptogenic effects help dogs cope with the stress of cancer and its treatments, improving their overall quality of life.

🧄 When fed the right amount, garlic is safe and beneficial for dogs. Garlic protects normal cells, balancing inflammation, and inducing cancer cell apoptosis, inhibiting growth and metastasis. Its antioxidant properties also shield cells from oxidative stress, offering holistic support in your dog’s battle against cancer.

WARNING ⛔️
In America the FDA is alerting⚠️ pet owners & veterinarians of the potential for neurologic adverse events in dogs and cats when treated with
“Flea & Tick “drugs that are in the isoxazoline class.

Bravecto (fluralaner) tablets for dogs
Bravecto (fluralaner) topical solution for cats and dogs
Bravecto Plus (fluralaner and moxidectin) topical solution for cats
Bravecto 1-month (fluralaner) tablets for dogs
Credelio (lotilaner) tablets for dogs and cats
Nexgard (afoxolaner) tablets for dogs
Simparica (sarolaner) tablets for dogs
Simparica Trio (sarolaner, moxidectin and pyrantel) tablets for dogs
Revolution Plus (selamectin and sarolaner) topical solution for cats

I haven’t used any worming, flea treatments or vaccinate my dogs for many years!
**We don’t live in a tick area & if I see fleas I treat them with a natural pyrethrum shampoo
** I feed a 100% raw natural diet free of any sugars or chemicals…. . Research shows that dogs eating kibble, highly processed food contains hidden sugars, high in carbohydrates & synthetics are more likely to attract fleas, mosquitoes 🦟 etc. also the dogs immunity is lower
** I add ground pepitas to food daily as it’s a natural bug deterrent ( about a teaspoon per 9 kilos of dog )
** for dogs over 2yrs add 1/2 cap of ACV ( per 9 kilos dog ) into food daily

Something to really consider

recommendations for dogs with thyroid issues. I adopted an 11yr mini Schnauzer rescue Milo years ago with this condition. My holistic vet suggested put him on a raw diet which I was already feeding…..
- his arthritis disappeared with 5 kilo weight loss! Yes he came obese
- his energy returned with better food & he started running
- had his lungs drained as he had passive smoking
- had his dental done as he had a mouth of mostly rotten teeth

Be Cautious with Synthetic Vitamins for Your Dog’s Health 🐾

While synthetic vitamins and minerals can play a role in your dog’s diet, it’s essential to understand their potential drawbacks to ensure you’re making the best choices. Here’s why a bit of caution can go a long way:

1️⃣ Lower Bioavailability
Synthetic vitamins may not be absorbed or utilized by the body as efficiently as natural ones, which means your dog might not fully benefit from them.

2️⃣ Risk of Overdosing
These concentrated nutrients can sometimes lead to imbalances or even toxicity, especially with fat-soluble vitamins like A and D.

3️⃣ Potential Side Effects
Some dogs may experience digestive issues or allergic reactions from synthetic additives, particularly if the source materials contain allergens.

4️⃣ Nutrient Interactions
High doses of synthetic vitamins can interfere with the absorption of other essential nutrients, disrupting your dog’s nutrient balance.

5️⃣ Long-Term Impact Unknown
Since synthetic vitamins don’t interact with the body like naturally occurring ones, the long-term effects of continuous use are not fully understood.

Choosing whole food sources for your dog’s vitamins and minerals ensures they also benefit from natural co-factors, enzymes, and phytochemicals that synthetic nutrients often lack.
