Vaccines, or any medication for that matter can be heavy on the body.

A healthy dog's body generally can clear itself of most toxins through the liver, faeces and urine. However, for less fit dogs, elderly or simply as a boost to healthy individuals, eating the correct foods after a vaccine appointment or while undergoing a cycle of medications can be of support to cleanse the body.
The liver is a powerful organ, it performs a variety of essential tasks and keeping your dog's liver in good shape is important for maintaining his overall health.

Recommended foods to support liver function:

* Fatty fish: contain healthy fats that help reduce inflammation in the liver.

* Blueberries and Cranberries: high in antioxidants, which help protect the liver from damage.

* Cruciferous vegetables: broccoli and Brussels sprouts help increase the liver’s natural detoxification enzymes and protect it from damage.

* Extra Virgin Olive oil: helps decrease the levels of fat in the liver, increase blood flow, and improve liver enzyme levels.

* Turmeric: helps the enzymes that flush out toxins and contains antioxidants that repair liver cells. It assists the liver in detoxing metals, while boosting bile production.

* Probiotics and Prebiotics: effectively attenuate liver disease as well as improve liver function.

(Remember, it's important to feed new foods responsibly as some foods may interact with certain medications)

People want the answers to health to be clear cut, definitive.⁣
Nutrition is one of the most complicated subjects.
It’s never as simple as carbohydrates are bad and fat is healthy or unhealthy.

Carbohydrates aren't the sole cause of the obesity epidemic or other health-related issues. It’s the mixture of processed fats and processed, poorly chosen carbs together. One problem I see for healthy adult dogs and cats is the over-consumption of processed carbs and fat over protein. ⁣
⁣
“If you look at a fast food meal, it’s not just the soda and processed carbs; it’s everything being fried in bad fats like vegetable oils.” Similarly, kibble diets are very processed, and some brands don’t include the healthiest ingredients. This is something to think about and look into. However, it is possible to feed healthier kibble and improve the diet with fresh food.
⁣
⁣If your pet is ill, have you looked into whether your pet is consuming meat from healthy animals raised on pasture that hasn’t been given antibiotics or hormone injections? Is the meat in your pets kibble or raw meal sourced well?
Is your pet consuming healthy carbs like seasonal vegetables and seasonal fruits ⁣with little pesticides? What does your pet consume? ⁣
⁣
Some pets don’t do well with any kind of high carb diet, such as kibble. Some pets don’t do well with high-fat meals. Some pets don’t do well on high or low protein diets, depending on their health and certain illnesses. ⁣
⁣
“That doesn’t mean carbs are bad or that fat is bad, or that protein is bad. to health
⁣
Instead of listening to online trends and “keyboard gurus,” read books and become educated by respectable people who can back up their claims with rational logic stemming from science.

If you feed a 💯% dry dog food diet your dog will stay in a state of chronic dehydration putting strain on the dog’s organs.
It is normal for a dog’s body to gain and lose water throughout the day. Panting, breathing, urinating, defecating, and evaporation through the paws all contribute to normal water loss, which your dog compensates for by eating and drinking.
Feeding a natural diet they already have moisture in their food !!
IF you feed Kibble PLEASE let it soak for at least 20 minutes BEFORE feeding , you will see how it doubles in size !! That is what it does in your dogs stomach , that is why Kibble fed dogs NEED to drink so much WATER !!!
