I have seen this herb save so many lives, literally drop elevated liver enzymes🩸 by half in just a few weeks!!

According to multiple studies, if you have a dog (or cat) with liver issues and you aren’t already giving your pets’ milk thistle (silymarin), you are missing out on the most important liver-restoring, “life-saving🆘" herb on the planet!

Just released last week, a new study on milk thistle showed the herb had incredible hepatoprotective properties when fed to dogs. “Hepatoprotection” is the ability of a substance to prevent liver damage.

Not only does it help to regenerate a damaged liver, but it’s also anti-aging according to longevity researchers!

In our new book, The Forever Dog, Dr. Karen Becker and I have it listed in our “Supplemental Habits for a Long and Healthy Life” section as one of our most important supplements to rotate into a dog’s🐶 diet plan. We also list the best “detox” dose🥄 to give a dog using the latest research. Available for pre-order now: https://foreverdog.com/about/

🚫 A Warning to Pet Parents This 🚫

Macadamia nuts are the only nuts pets should steer clear of, as they can cause profound GI upset if ingested even in very small amounts. Other types of raw, unsalted nuts are safe for pets – they don’t contain any toxins that affect pets – but are still listed on many websites as “foods pets should avoid” because they can be a choking hazard (so chop all nuts into tiny, bite-sized pieces before using as training treats 👍). And remember, no macadamias for pets.

Grandma Always Said to Eat Your Veggies

Vegetables are a great source of fiber, minerals and vitamins that are vital to your pet’s optimal body function and defense against diseases. ✅ They also provide a variety of antioxidants and phytochemicals like sulforaphane, which are not found in meats, bones and organs. 🥦🥬🥒🥕🧄🍅

Adding a few bites of fresh veggies on top of your pet’s meals is a powerful way to supercharge their food, so it has a more profound impact on your pet’s health. 🐶🐱💚

While many veggies are more nutritious than others, the European pet food federation states the only veggie that’s toxic to pets are onions (including leeks and chives). Learn more about the benefits of veggies for pets in today’s free health blog (link below).

SO JUST HOW LONG DO YOUR PET’S SHOTS LAST?

Definitely longer than a year!

According to the top pet immunologist (aka vaccine expert) in the world, Dr. Ronald Schultz, Ph.D. – “ Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions.”

What the heck are adverse reactions (or side effects)?

Well according to the other rock star pet immunologist Dr. Jean Dodds:

“Side effects from dog vaccinations can occur anywhere from instantly up to several weeks or months later. Vaccines can even cause susceptibility to chronic diseases that appear much later in a dog’s life (Dodd, 2001).

Severe and fatal adverse reactions include:

•Susceptibility to infections.

•Neurological disorders and encephalitis.

•Aberrant behavior, including unprovoked aggression.

•Vaccines are linked to seizures. Distemper, parvovirus, rabies and, presumably, other vaccines have been linked with poly neuropathy, a nerve disease that involves inflammation of several nerves. (Dodds,2001)”

SO HOW LONG EXACTLY DOES YOUR PET’S VACCINE LAST?

According to the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), (basically the dudes who set the standards for the vets): “Among healthy dogs, all commercially available [core] vaccines are expected to induce a sustained protective immune response lasting at least 5 yr. thereafter”

Here’s the breakdown of the core vaccines from Dr. Ronald Schultz:

Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines:

Distemper- 7 years by challenge
Parvovirus – 7 years by challenge
Adenovirus – 7 years by challenge
Canine rabies – 3 years by challenge

The moral of the story here, if you have no idea when your pet is due or has been vaccinated, then just run a titer test and this will confirm if you are due, rather than over-vaccinate your poor pet, setting the stage for future problems!

What’s a titer test?

A titer test (pronounced tight-errr) is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet.

It’s also super useful when making a decision about vaccinating a pet with an unknown vaccination history, or for determining if pets have received immunity from vaccination.

Vaccinating your pet is super important so don’t lose the overall message here: VACCINATE, JUST DON’T OVER-VACCINATE!

According to Dr. Dodds:

“Vaccines have achieved many important benefits for companion animals, and has saved more animals' lives than any other medical advance.”

The argument against mixing supplements with your pet’s food. 💊🐶🐱

You’re not mixing your meds and supplements into your meals every day, so why are you doing it with your pets, says veterinary oncologist.👩🏻‍⚕️

While it’s tempting to open a capsule to sprinkle on your pet’s food or smash pills into a powder in order to disguise it, this can actually make some supplements (and medications) ineffective. Plus hiding these in your pet’s food can create a bigger issue, especially for sick pets - food avoidance.

So how do you get reluctant pets to take their supplements? Homemade, healthy pill pockets is just one of the suggestions veterinary oncologist Dr. Kendra Pope recommends. Today in the Inside Scoop, Dr. Pope will be joining us to share the most effective ways to give your pet their pills, powders, and tinctures. Plus her favorite supplements and foods if your pet is facing (or trying to prevent) a cancer diagnosis.🦠

⚡️This week’s bonus ebook guide will also be available in the group, it’s loaded with more tips and tricks for giving your pet their supplements and medications, plus DIY recipes to make your own pill pockets!

Join us today at 12pm ET for this Live discussion. Looking forward to taking your questions and seeing you in the comments! 🙌

Be careful out there! 🐝 🦟🪰

06/10/2022

💔 We said goodbye to our sweet boy Dillon yesterday. Thank you for all your kind words and prayers. He injured himself and was suffering. We had to let him go so he would be out of pain.
Dillon Von Barron brought so much joy to so many lives through the puppies that he sired. His legacy will continue through his offspring and their offspring. They will continue to share a piece of him with every puppy that is born with his lines. He was always happy and lived a wonderful life showered in hugs and kisses. We miss him terribly but know that Christ will continue to wrap us in His arms of peace and comfort. My heart and my headspace wouldnt be in this state of peace if it weren't for my relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God is good All the time. Hug your babies because your time with them is not guaranteed. 💔

💔 It is with extreme sadness that we have to retire Dillon from breeding.
He recently injured himself and as of this morning he has zero use of his back legs. 💔 He begins laser therapy monday to try and regenerate cells to help him recover. The vet says he has done this with other dogs that were paralyzed and that they regained the use if their legs.
We are praying that this is only temporary and that Christ will heal him. He is more than a breeding dog to us. He is like our child since we dont have any of our own. Dillon has slept in bed with my husband and I since he was only 8 wks old. This is the first time in 6yrs that he has had to sleep in his kennel and its been very difficult for all of us the last few nights.
Please pray for his complete healing.
Thank you
