The Effects of Steroids on Dogs 💊💥

Steroids may relieve symptoms of chronic inflammatory conditions like allergies, skin problems or inflammatory bowel disease, but they do nothing to address the underlying cause of disease 👎. One study also shows that after 2 weeks of giving oral steroids 💊 to dogs, 90% experienced side effects, including rapid panting and increased hunger, thirst and urination. ⚠️🐕

Find out more about why steroids are so common in veterinary medicine, and how to avoid using them long-term when you read today’s free pet health article on our site: https://bit.ly/3rXXDVo

Walnuts for Pets? A-OK! 👌

Walnuts are said to be toxic to pets, but that’s actually false! (only the leathery, outer husk should not be consumed by any mammal ❌). Raw, unsalted, human-grade English walnuts offer many benefits to dogs 🐶 (and cats, if they’ll try ‘em 🐱), thanks to their phytochemicals and other nutrients 🌟. If you have fresh, raw, shelled walnuts, don’t hesitate to share them with your animal companion. 👍

Here are the rules before sharing walnuts with your pet:

✅ Remove and discard the shell.
✅ Break the walnuts into small pieces.
✅ Make sure the nuts do not have any mold.

Check out our site today and read the free pet health article to learn more about the benefits your pet can get from snacking on walnuts: https://bit.ly/3tLyNZF

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 🐾❤️‍🔥🌈.

💥 NEW RAW V DRY STUDY NEEDS YOUR HELP! 💥
I mentioned a few weeks ago we were planning a retrospective analysis of dry and raw-fed dogs in a single veterinary hospital - in essence, by comparing their vet records from the previous year, we will see who uses the vet more and for what. We will then get this study published in a top journal and use it to further the raw movement globally, to the great benefit of millions of cats and dogs.

The picture painted by many is that research is incredibly, prohibitively expensive for the public to do but in reality, most of the really valuable studies, such as this one, are far from it. The data is already there. Already collected by vets. We just have to look. Our small team can get this done for $48,500

We need your help to do this.

The fact is, all of us - from the owner of a pet enjoying real food each day and now saving you a fortune at the vets to the pet shop that can't keep raw in stock or the pet food manufacturer with a nice, positive bank sheet - all have profited in their own way from such works before.

Please donate (and learn more about the study) here...

https://experiment.com/projects/who-has-more-health-problems-raw-or-dry-fed-dogs

Unfortunately, the entire system is rigged to ensure that little studies like these do not happen. Bar Helsinki University, no veterinary departments are interested in investigating, let alone publishing issues with products made by the sponsors of their department. It simply doesn't happen, clearly.

All we have is a small handful of studies in this regard, most of them produced by Dog Risk in Helsinki, and then people like me and RPM, Habib and Becker and all the AWESOME raw-feeding groups working tirelessly to help people new to the game, then take these studies and blast the results to the world. Because when vets and the public alike are shown the truth they are clearly smart enough to grasp it, as exploding sales in raw (and declining sales in dry) clearly show.

We can't wait for our captured institutions to protect us from the multinationals. We must take back control of science. This means doing it ourselves because the secret truth is science is very simple. It doesn't need the lofty brick-and-mortar university set-up. Far from it. There are numerous scientists out there who work outside of them - scientists like Vicky Adams, a highly published veterinary epidemiologist, who is governing this project. It means you can get stuff done quicker and significantly cheaper (50% of every research dollar to a university goes to admin, and much of the rest can be used to prop up the studies of their major benefactors), but it means instead of relying on industry cash, you need to appeal to the public for the truly worthy projects.

We will get this study done in 5 months, start to finish, but we have been given 30 days to raise the $48,500 in order to do it.

It's called citizen science folks - science for the people, by the people. Let’s take action. Let's take back a little control.

Let's get this done. Please donate and enjoy the warm feeling that you will get having given more dogs a chance at a healthier life (and that you stuck it to the man!).

IF YOU CAN'T DONATE...
Times are tough for many so promise me this, if you can't donate as little as a dollar, please share this post with your dog food manufacturer or pet shop and ask them to donate and share. Their business is thriving because of works like these. When this study comes out and we start screaming about it, their sales will improve. In essence, we are doing their marketing for them. I feel at least the manufacturers should be getting on board with this. They have more capital and will benefit the most financially from it. If and when they donate they can broadcast it from their social media platforms, showing us they truly care about the cause we care so passionately about. So please, whoever you buy your whole (raw/cooked) dog food from, email them this study and / or tag them in this post.

Heat waves have been occuring around parts of Australia, and more hot days are ahead of us. Please take extra care when taking your dog out for a walk as the pavement and road can be too hot for their paws.

If you can't rest the back of your hand on the pavement for 10 seconds, then it is too hot for your dog to walk on. Please walk them on the grass, early in the morning or late evening when the surfaces are cooler. Roads and Pavements can become incredibly hot.

Carrying fresh water for your dog on your trip is a must too.

❗Pumpkin Spice Is Pleasant to Smell, but Harmful to Pets❗

Air fresheners (both aerosol sprays and plug-ins), scented candles, wax melts, incense and other products may mask unpleasant odors and make your home smell delicious, but they also disperse airborne toxins ☠️. These include formaldehyde, naphthalene, phthalates and volatile organic compounds, which can cause a multitude of health issues in pets. ⚠️

Raw Garlic Is Safe! 🧄🤍

Unlike its allium relatives, fresh garlic is actually safe for pets because it contains very little thiosulfate, the compound that makes onion toxic to pets.

When preparing garlic for your pet, it’s best to chop and crush fresh, raw cloves to activate production of allicin. Here are the recommended doses of fresh garlic per day, based on your pet's bodyweight:

🐾 10 to 15 pounds — 1/2 clove
🐾 20 to 40 pounds — 1 clove
🐾 45 to 70 pounds — 1 1/2 cloves
🐾 75 to 90 pounds — 2 cloves
🐾 100 pounds and over — 2 1/2 cloves
🐱 Cats: 1/4 – clove

Pet Vaccines and Antibody Titer Tests 💉🐈🐕

August is National Immunization Awareness Month. Find out all you need to know about immunizing your pet, as well as the importance of vaccine antibody titer testing.

A vaccine is designed to trigger an immune system response that confers protection against disease. However, just because your pet is vaccinated doesn't necessarily mean they are immunized – or protected – against disease 💉🙅‍♀️. Repeated revaccinations also don’t guarantee immunization, and can even trigger adverse reactions. ⚠️

To determine if your pet is immunized and no longer need “booster shots” for core diseases, ask your vet for a vaccine antibody titer test instead. 👌

A vaccine antibody titer test helps you and your veterinarian determine your pet’s immunity to core vaccines, including distemper, parvovirus and adenovirus in dogs 🐶, and panleukopenia in cats 🐱. This way, they won’t have to be unnecessarily revaccinated for a disease they’re already protected against thanks to an earlier vaccine. 👍
