If you haven't heard of essiac tea, here is a good podcast with Brian Paulhus explaining it. Genuine Essiac.com is the best value and the most honest company to purchase from. I use it myself for maintenance and for any ill animals. Perry gets it too for detox and parasite control. I am an affiliate for this company and I will be ordering more from the US shortly for my NZ customers. Here's my link to the company if you want to see your options if you want to buy now from any country: https://www.essiac-tea-and-fitness.com/?AffId=82. It's very affordable, especially because it can end up replacing a few other supplements you or your pet may already be taking. eg. I take 3oz twice a day for maintenance. Aggressive dose is 3x a day.

Greyhounds are gentle creatures when allowed to be a family dog. They don't deserve to be endlessly put in danger. Broken legs in racing are more common than you know and what is still going on behind the scenes at their training grounds is shocking. It is no better than illegal dog fights.

It has been reported that Minister Winston Peters will decide on the future of greyhound racing within weeks. Briefing papers hint that Cabinet must weigh in on whether the industry has the social license to continue. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t. 😬

You may have heard the latest from four wonderful organisations Dogwatch, HUHANZ, SAFE and SPCA New Zealand who are ready to help rehome racing greyhounds. So, we thought we’d help the Racing Minister out too!

To Minister Peters: We've got you covered! We’ve got a policy you can use!

The AJP stands firmly against greyhound racing and is calling for a total ban.

We’re committed to eliminating the use of animals in sport and entertainment because we know it can’t be safely regulated. Until putting innocent dogs in harm’s way again and again for entertainment and profit is TOTALLY banned, we demand disclosure of all racing greyhound deaths and injuries; strict regulations on greyhound breeding and reallocation of funds to help industry workers find compassionate careers.

Let’s work together to end this cruel ‘sport’ and give these beautiful dogs the loving homes they deserve. 🏠❤️

I'm big into intermittent fasting. Here, Dr Kendra explains why it is also beneficial for our dogs too. Particularly interesting is how we and our dogs should always enter into any chemo or radiation treatments in a state of fasting to help avoid side effects and assist apoptosis (cancer cell death).

Did you know that dogs that only eat once a day are smarter, healthier and may live longer than dogs who eat multiple meals a day? Why is that? If you're new...

Do you know about hormone sparing desexing? If shelters did this procedure before adopting out dogs, there would be less risk of cancers and no unwanted litters. Pups can have a vasectomy or ovary-sparing spey at as young as 8 weeks old and it won't affect their growth hormones. Conventional desexing at puppyhood opens up the floodgates to all kinds of medical problems.

Are you aware of the dangers of laser pointers for dogs? Darran explains here why this trend needs to stop for the mental health of our dogs. I've never liked them for cats either. Why turn your pet into a psycopath?

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!!
Kudos to Sally and the team: 500 hens rescued today, with 2 loads of them coming to The Animal Sanctuary for adopters to pick up. We thought that was the last of hen rescues for a while, but…

WAIKATO/AUCKLAND/MATAKANA RESCUE, April 26 & 27
Sally suddenly got word that another egg farm will let us save another 500? 1000? hens in just two weeks time! Yikes! We need good homes, and quickly!!

If you live in Auckland or Waikato and want to adopt hens this side of Christmas, PLEASE apply here ASAP 🙏: https://franklinfarmsanctuary.co.nz/adoption-form/?adoption-type=Hens
This is the last planned rescue for this year. Tomorrow Sally will start processing applications, and putting everything into saving as many girls as we can!!! We’ll take a large number here for adoption from Matakana.

You know the drill - we need this post to go viral so let's go a little mental with sharing, tagging, the whole shebang! The homes are out there, we just know it! 🙏❤️🐔

What kind of dog is yours?

Dr Becker and Rodney Habib have a new book out. This is in there. I have their first book, The Forever Dog which is a wonderful reference book.

I like the sound of this.

In case you are on the fence about chemical flea control, here is what's been going on.

A class action suit was just settled against the Seresto collar for $15 million! Owners are eligible for payment for collars they purchased, as well as some medical costs. See https://shorturl.at/jrsR7

I hadn't heard of this latest belief that time-out for cats is a good idea. This blog explains why it is not.

For this blog I haven’t held back. I’m not being politically correct, and I am very boldly expressing my views.

I don’t agree with using a time out as a punishment for cats. And here’s why …

I appreciate this may unsettle some people, and that’s good. Let’s come to the table and talk about this (unhelpful) method of behaviour modification.

I hope the blog shakes some of you up!

Yep. I do that.

We just had the last market for the year at Helensville. A special visitor turned up.
