As an Integrative Veterinarian caring for beloved family members at All Natural Vet Care, the following question is something I have given considerable thought.

Can we double our pets life spans by 2050?

I know we would love to!

The short answer, yes potentially. The longer answer is much more nuanced and will be explored in my prospective SxSW talk.

I have been accepted through the first round, to make it to the stage, it would be awesome if you could show your support, through voting:

Some of the very valid reasons why we generally do not recommend flea treatments preventatively in our practice.

We compare regular preventative flea treatment like putting a chemical on your child every month just in case they get head lice at school.

Increasingly we need to consider one health and planetary health in our pet care plans.

(Please note: tick protection is different we do highly recommend strategies where tick paralysis is a risk)

Check out our blog via our website for more ideas about how things can be done differently for your pet 🐶 🐈 🐇 🐦

Pesticides present in pet flea and tick treatments pose a risk to human health and the environment - but monthly application as a preventative measure isn’t essential.

🐾 Quick Tips for Managing Your Furry Friend's Skin Issues! 🐾

🌟 Optimal Nutrition: A cereal-free balanced diet is the first step toward healthy skin. Ensure your pet's meals are rich in essential nutrients. Incorporate omega-3 supplements to fight inflammation and promote a shiny, healthy coat.

🌱 Natural Supplements: Consider natural and herbal supplements to support skin health. Ingredients like nettle leaf can offer antihistamine effects, helping to alleviate itching and discomfort.

💧 Hydration and Moisture: Keep your pet well-hydrated. Use gentle, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners designed for pets to maintain skin hydration and barrier function.

🛁 Regular Grooming: Brushing and bathing your pet regularly can help remove allergens and irritants from their coat and skin, preventing flare-ups and infections.

🧘 Reduce Mental Stress: Just like humans, pets can experience stress that affects their skin. Engage in calming activities, provide a peaceful environment, and consider behavioral training to help reduce anxiety.

🏥 Veterinary Care: Persistent skin issues require professional attention. Schedule a visit to discuss holistic and integrative approaches tailored to your pet's specific needs.Remember, a holistic approach to skin care addresses both symptoms and underlying causes, promoting overall health and well-being. 🌿✨

Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year and a fresh year of a Holistic veterinary Journey!

Entering a new year is a great time to reflect and set new goals. This applies equally to your loyal companions. They too deserve to have their health and well-being prioritised as we embark on this journey together.

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it is easy to overlook the needs of our pets. As parents, we have a responsibility to ensure they receive the best possible care. This is where a holistic approach to their health can play a powerful role.

Holistic veterinary care takes into account not just the physical well-being of our loved ones, but also their emotional and mental well-being. It focuses on prevention rather than just treating symptoms and takes into account the whole body rather than just individual parts. By incorporating natural remedies and therapies alongside traditional veterinary treatments, we can provide a more comprehensive and well-rounded approach to your loved ones health.

We are excited to see all of you this year.

Rest in Peace Bobi.

We know you will continue to inspire so much positive change for the quality of life and longevity of our beloved pups ❤️ 🐕

Sending our thoughts to his family in Portugal

Is there ever enough time 💔? I think not.

Last night, this sweet boy earned his wings 🕊️.

Despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on earth would never be enough, for those who loved him. When we asked Leonel what his recipe was for Bobi’s exceptionally long life, his response was swift: “Good nutrition, constant contact with nature, freedom to discover his environment, consistent veterinary care, and love. Bobi knows he’s deeply loved.”

Godspeed, Bobi…you’ve taught the world all you were mean’t to teach 🐾❤️‍🔥🌈.

Extreme caution ⚠️ photos have emerged of Meals for Mutts Kibble with what appears to be mould.

Mould in pet food is a source of neurotoxins and probably carcinogens. We are not sure if the mould type is one of the really problematic ones, but to be ultra conservative it would be best to discuss with your vet.

The biggest threat for mould are pet foods containing corn but can occur in many different foods.

If you are feeding this food we suggest speaking to your veterinarian and the manufacturer.

𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗠𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗦 - 𝗠𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗

Facebook groups are littered with reports of mouldy Meals For Mutts at the moment so if you feed this dry food, I recommend that you have a really good look inside the bag and make sure you're not feeding your dog dangerous mould that can make your dog very sick immediately or over a period of time - empty the entire bag.

Apparently, there is a recall on a batch number according to consumer comments but I can’t find that info on their website.

When we choose to feed commercial diets to our dogs, there is a risk associated with that whether that be in processing, transport or storage - these things happen and as long as they don't keep happening as consumers we can often forgive and move on - M4M are using a new manufacturer and this could be some teething issues, who knows but right now, this is about dogs health so please check the entire contents of your bag.

Meals for Mutts - if you're reading this, save sending your lawyers after me again for things that can be proven 🥴

Dear Valued Pet Parents,
We are writing to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience or concern caused by a recent issue affecting our food. We want to assure you that we take this matter very seriously and are committed to resolving it.
We have become aware of a concern regarding the presence of mould in some of our dry dog products and we want to ensure the well-being of your beloved pets. While this issue has only affected a small number of bags and products from some of our recent production, we believe in taking precautions for the health and safety of your furry friends.
To address this matter, we recommend that you carefully inspect the products with a best before date listed below. It’s important to note that if these products have been stored in a cool, dry environment, the likelihood of any issue is minimal. Nevertheless, we encourage pet parents to remain vigilant.
If you come across any signs of mould in your product or if you prefer not to continue feeding your current bag of dry food, we kindly ask you to discontinue use and take the product back to the place of purchase or reach out to us at [email protected].
Our dedicated team is here to assist you with replacing your product. When contacting us, please provide details about the product variant, bag size, and best before date for a smoother resolution.
As a further safety precaution, we are actively collaborating with our retail partners to ensure that any affected bags are removed from sale. This collaborative effort underscores our commitment to providing the highest quality dry dog food in Australia.
We continue to be a small Australian family owned brand and your understanding and trust are greatly appreciated as we work to resolve this situation and continue to serve the needs of you and your pets. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Team MFM

🚨 New Study Alert! 🐶🔍

A recent study in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine has highlighted potential dietary risk factors for dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE). Key findings include:

🥩 Fewer dogs with CE were fed diets with red meat as the primary protein source.
🍞 Notably, NONE of the dogs with CE were on a diet completely free of carbohydrates, while 11% of healthy dogs were.
💧 Diets with a moisture content of ≤14% (typically dry pet foods) were linked to a higher risk of CE.

These findings emphasize the importance of diet in our furry friends' health. While more research is needed, this study suggests that certain dietary factors, especially carbohydrate content and low moisture, might play a role in the development of CE in dogs.
