🐾 Pet Owners: Our long time Veterinarian told us the reason for the shortage of Vet Care is because many of them have sold out to Corporations, eliminating the Owner Owned business for monopolies that control prices and quality of care !! 😢😡 They push “their” foods, along with more medications and sometimes unneeded procedures !!!
🐾 Sad & Frustrating 🐾
Support your local Vets - so they don’t sell their practices to these big Corporations !

Dog Owners with horses : Good to know !

PSA- Meet Callie. Callie, being a normal young farm dog likes to eat things she finds. Callie ate some horse p**p last weekend and ended up hospitalized. She had toxic levels of ivermectin in her body from eating p**p from recently dewormed horses. The dewormer goes through the horse and remains intact in the horses’ f***s. Callie presented with neurologic signs including stumbling, twitchy eyes, nausea, and vomiting. All her bloodwork and x-rays were normal. After doing some investigating, the doctors figured out she had been exposed to potentially high levels of ivermectin. Callie was treated with supportive care and intralipids to pull the toxins out of her brain. She is feeling a lot better and headed home today. Just a warning- ivermectin horse dewormers can affect ANY breed of dog or cat (some are even more susceptible) for approximately 5 to 7 days AFTER deworming if the p**p is ingested. Make sure to appropriately dispose of any used dewormer tubes and make sure any pets have little to no access to horse p**p after deworming.

April Is Prevent Lyme Disease in Dogs Month🐕🔍

While many dogs are exposed to the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, science shows only 5% to 10% become infected and exhibit symptoms. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is important upon noticing these 7 signs, and screening is even more important. 👇

Read today’s article (link in the comments) to learn how to lower your dog’s risk of Lyme disease and avoid unnecessary antibiotics. 🐶

👉 Developing a puppy properly doesn't happen over 4 or 5 weeks, it's more like a 1 to 2 year process. It's not attending a "puppy preschool" and thinking "job's done."

⚠️ Having a dog with significant and long-term behaviour issues, or an adult dog with zer0 obedience, isn't resolved through doing a couple of 1-on-1 sessions with a trainer. It takes months to follow the process properly, and even longer to maintain then improve new skills and avoid relapses.

Reposted from - Here is more solid proof how damaging glyphosate is - glad I feed my Tressa's raw diet from farms that don't use glyphosate-laden feeds to feed their livestock or for growing their crops.

DIRTY DOG FOOD

DANGEROUS W**D KILLER IN PET FOODS

You might have heard about glyphosate - it’s the active ingredient in Roundup, the common w**d killer used to grow grain and legume crops.

Glyphosate has been implicated in many forms of cancer, plus it kills gut bacteria populations and binds to important minerals, which can be a significant challenge to your dog's ability to resist disease, especially liver and kidney disease.

Researchers at Cornell University analyzed a variety of common pet foods and found that every one contained glyphosate. They also found the amount of glyphosate corresponded with the amount of fiber in the food.

The foods tested averaged glyphosate concentrations between 80 - 2,000 ppm - which is 4-12 times more than most human foods.

In comparison, the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) safe limit for glyphosate in meat and meat byproducts is just 5 ppm (parts per million).

Tests done by HRI Labs show that raw pet foods are below the EPA's safe limit However, pet foods containing grains or legumes averaged between 200 and 660 ppm, which is 80X more than the EPA's safe upper limit. And grain-free foods had the highest concentration.

HRI also tested the amount of glyphosate in the urine of dogs and compared them to other species.

GLYPHOSATE CONCENTRATIONS IN URINE

Compared to humans, dogs have 32x more glyphosate in their urine - and more than any other species tested.

This puts dogs at risk for cancer, liver & kidney disease, dysbiosis and other chronic diseases.

When trying to defend the use of Roundup as a w**d killer, retired FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamberg stated:

"Sure, you could say that glyphosate causes cancer, of course it does. But only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.”

That's exactly what dogs and doing. And, unless fed a raw diet without grains or legumes, dogs seem to be swallowing a large amount over a long period of time.

Mitigating Glyphosate Risk

If you want to reduce the amount of glyphosate in your dog’s food - and trust us, you do, then here is what you need to do:

1. Feed foods without grains or legumes.

Feed raw, freeze-dried or use our free home-made recipes.

2. Avoid OWL foods unless they’re organic.

Roundup Ready crops like corn, soy and sorghum are genetically modifies to tolerate glyphosate. While these crops contain a large amount of glyphosate residue, they're not the worst offenders.

Roundup Ready crops are sprayed with Roundup throughout the growing season to keep w**ds down. But other crops use Roundup in a different way: they're sprayed with Roundup just before harvesting to help dry them out.

Spray dried foods are called OWL foods - or oats, wheat and legumes (beans and peas). Other spray-dried crops include millet, barley and other grains.

It's worth noting that organic grains are not Roundup Ready or spray dried.

3. Feed foods with the least amount of carbohydrate.

The Cornell study showed that the more starch a food contained, the higher the glyphosate content. So choose foods that contain the least amount of carbs, which are the major source of glyphosate.

4. Feed canned food.

Canned foods contain less starch and glyphosate than kibble does.

5. Feed kibble that’s not grain-free.

Most grain-free foods are rich in legumes like peas or lentils. These contain more glyphosate than any other food.

Many pet owners are choosing to “Titer” their pet before giving Booster Vaccines.
Do your research and Ask your Vet ……

🩸 A titer test can tell you if your pet is still protected to avoid unnecessary vaccines. W. Jean Dodds' Hemopet, Healthy Dog Workshop, and Nayked_Pet are all great resources for more information.

For more information on vaccines read my book, Raising Naturally Healthy Pets, and head to my Vaccine Resources page: https://drjudymorgan.com/pages/vaccines

even a little bit of raw is better than no raw 🥩

Adding freeze-dried and/or dehydrated proteins as a topper to your dog’s kibble is a great way to start introducing whole proteins to their diet.

👇 Do you feed a mix of kibble & raw?
