Fermentation is the process by which organic matter is consumed by microorganisms and converted into other compounds. It is the oldest food preservation method and intrinsically linked to the evolution of life - without microbes, nothing organic could exist.

We tend to focus predominantly on lactofermentation or wild fermentation, which involves allowing wild cultures inherent to food to consume starches and sugars in order to convert them into various organic acids. This can also be accomplished by inoculating food with a food that is already rich in lactic acid, such as raw sheep’s milk.

To cultivate healthy microbes is not complicated - it is considered "hard" for a variety of reasons, but it is actually very simple. Create environments where healthy bacteria can grow and thrive and allow them to do so.

We tend to over-engineer processes that have worked without us for untold lengths of time. Food shouldn't be scary or stressful and there are a lot of blockers thrown up all around us in order to induce these feelings - some may prefer us to be fearful. Fermentation, science aside, is an empowering process that teaches us about our world in a deep way and creates potential for exploration and learning. Food is connectivity and passion and engagement with life - fermentation is an avenue to revel in these things.

Thanks Rawsome Pets & More! Love all you do ❤️

🍁Parasite cleanse season🍂
With so many neurotoxins being prescribed, might there be less toxic compounds we can use to achieve the same or better results? Glad you asked!
Our 2 part response will be one you’ll want to save!
All health & wellness starts with a solid nutritional foundation. With a variety of Whole Foods from our amazing brand partners, we can now proudly say, we ONLY offer organically & pasture raised foods from the best regenerative farms & ranches in the country. Wellness starts with the quality of food being fed.

What else can and SHOULD we do during the fall parasite cleanse season?

1-Garlic has been used for centuries & is well known for their antimicrobial properties that inhibit the function of parasites. FALSE is the “garlic is dangerous” rhetoric. Use it. Smaller dogs can get 1/3 of a fresh clove 2-3x a week & larger dogs can consume 1/2-a whole clove 2-3x per week.
Solutions Pet Products, LLC offers two versions of a Parasite Free herbal blend: Tincture (which is super easy to drop onto food or freeze dried treats) or a dry herbal mix which can easily be topped over food or steeped in/with broth or jiggles.
More aggressive cleansing can be done by using a combination of wormwood, black walnut hulls & cloves.
🚨
We advise working with an herbal or medical expert due to these methods being extremely “potent”.
🚨
Wormwood & BWH is appropriately & SAFELY portioned in both solutions pet options. These ingredients have been used to treat intestinal worms as far back as Ancient Egypt. This parasite-fighting property is attributed to “thujone”. Notable animal & test-tube studies indicate that this herb successfully fights tapeworms & other parasites - provided as links in the comments.
Wormwood is also associated with other benefits, such as pain & inflammation relief & fighting oxidative stress.
In the US, the FDA restricts commercial product containing thujone to 10ppm or less…but…wormwood tea & tinctures don’t fall under these regulations & may have significantly more thujone.
If you don’t have a trusted medical expert, please reach out & we will help with that connection.

This is why we do what we do ❤️

Even nutritionists puppers can have issues. I have been beside myself for months trying to help Kata. I can help everyone else’s doggos but not mine. Someone much wiser than me (Canine Herbalist) always tells me we aren’t supposed to help our own doggos. Let go of your guilt! She is so damn smart 🥰🤩

I did a HTMA test on Kata. Nothing definitive show’d why she has been having issues. In fact, even feeding an unbalanced diet for so long (trying to pinpoint her issues) really hasn’t left her deficient in much of anything. This does not mean go feed unbalanced to your pupper. I had no choice. She was sick and stopped eating.

Two days on Solutions Pet Products, LLC pork, better butter tea, pork jiggles, cocotherapy MCT and Coconut oil (I rotate) and 1 tsp of ACV with the mother and she has eaten with no hesitation, not thrown up, minimal burping and no gurgling tummy. We also played once yesterday and twice today!!!! She hasn’t wanted to play in a while.

She is acting like she is starving again and I can tell y’all I COULD CRY!

Bioavailability should be a huge focus of discussion in terms of understanding "cost to feed". The primary focus for many people is caloric density - "calories in, calories out" is a popular weight loss strategy, but doesn't tell the whole story.

The calories consumed need to come from foods that provide adequate nutrients in their most useful forms, otherwise the consumer will find themselves in a nutritional deficit, not just a calorie deficit. While our foods are enormously calorie dense, this isn't the only factor that we consider when calculating feeding amounts.

A full 30% of the meats in our foods are organs - nature's multivitamins. Since the micronutrients in organs already exist in their optimal form, the body doesn't need to work as hard to assimilate them as it would if we relied on plant based or synthetic vitamins and minerals. We need to supply far less in terms of "amounts" because the body is actually able to use everything that is available.

Fermentation plays a huge factor in this discussion as well. The breakdown of organic matter by bacteria into constituent parts not only deactivates many anti-nutrients in plant matter, but actually creates new micronutrients and alters their forms to be easy for the body to use. Creating a strong gut and supplying the body with the right nutrients is vastly more important than worrying about nutrient "amounts" established by cereal lobbyists.

Hi, ladies 👋

Watching chickens scuttle about a pasture is one of life's little pleasures - they move in a group, bobbing and weaving in time. When you approach, the entire flock stops and stares, cocking their eyes curiously - they may come to inspect you.

GELATIN JIGGLES FOR CELLULAR REGENERATION

The body is in a constant cycle of birth and death - its very cells expiring and degrading to make room for the new ones that are born every second. Truly, the process by which the body restores itself is magnificent.

A critical determining factor in the body's ability to recover from disease or trauma is its ability to rapidly replace dead or damaged cells. Unfortunately, something cannot be made from nothing and it is up to us to provide the body with the materials it needs for this process. Foods or food materials that exist in isolation (synthetic or isolate nutrient compounds) or foods that have been dried out (lacking innate cellular moisture) fall desperately short of the standard needed to achieve efficient cellular regeneration.

Gelatin Jiggles are ideally suited to help the body recover from sickness or trauma due to their enormously bioavailable amino acids. Typically, protein is bound up as a conglomeration of amino acids branched together with peptide bonds. Upon consumption, the body must break these bonds in order to utilize the protein. In Gelatin Jiggles, these bonds are already broken, leaving free amino acids that are enormously easy for the body to use.

The less work the body has to do to use something, typically the more valuable it is, especially as a "recovery" food. When we say "bioavailable", we are referring to the amount of a substance that can be used after the body is done processing it. Gelatin Jiggles are one of the most bioavailable sources of amino acids that we know of.

Check out our Restorative Health Guides (https://solutionspetproducts.com/restorative-health-guides/) for various ways that Gelatin Jiggles can help support your pet's health!

Prescription pet foods have been a staple of veterinary treatments and veterinary nutrition education for decades - they have also been a staple of the massive conglomerate entities that handle their marketing and manufacturing. In order to actualize true solutions for long term health, we need to move away from the reductive nutrition philosophy that continues to perpetuate the problems it claims to try to solve.

According to state regulators, the term "prescription diet" refers only to that product's freedom to make medical claims - this freedom isn't earned in the sense of verified outcomes or feeding trials or even nutrient analysis. This freedom is purchased for an incredible price of over $1,000,000.00 per product. "Prescription diet" is little more than a very expensive marketing term.

The companies that produce these diets are operating under a conventional reductionism that has been shown consistently to lead to health suppression and environmental damage. If diarrhea can be "cured" by feeding a food made almost entirely of corn starch, and this food can be produced for almost nothing and sold for enormous profit, then a company focused on profit has no incentive to change - especially when they can say that it meets the "minimum nutrient requirements". Of course, the cause of disease persists as symptoms are disguised, leading to chronic illness and the constant medication required to mange it.

All in all, we believe that nutrient dense whole foods, regular exercise, balanced gut health, and positive energy are more effective than any "prescription" pet food when it comes to enabling deep healing. The evidence is compelling and the science is sound. As we continue to develop our research in collaboration with veterinarians, scientists, farmers, and other leaders in this space, we welcome you to share in our journey to bring about true solutions to this disease culture we are embedded in.

"Dogh" (pronounced like "dough"), is a semi-soft cheese inspired by an ancient Persian recipe and is made in microbatches by (in our opinion) one of the best cheesemakers in the country, only a few miles away from our production facility and main goat herd. These full fat cheese treats are not only an excellent addition to most of our Restorative Diet Guides, but also work really well as food toppers because of their crumbly texture.

This cheese is made from the same goat’s milk that goes into our milk recipes, providing a diverse array of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, probiotics, and enzymes. Organic herbs and spices are added to target specific health conditions.

DOGH WITH YUCCA: raw goat milk yogurt, organic yucca, salt, cultures - pair with herbal remedies or restorative diets to increase anti-inflammatory properties.

DOGH WITH CHAMOMILE: raw goat milk yogurt, organic chamomile, salt, cultures - pair with herbal remedies or restorative diets to reduce anxiety and promote mental acuity.

DOGH WITH DANDELION & CRANBERRY: raw goat milk yogurt, organic dandelion root, organic cranberry, salt, cultures - pair with herbal remedies or restorative diets to increase urinary system support.

DOGH WITH DIATOMACEOUS EARTH & ZUCCHINI: raw goat milk yogurt, organic dandelion root, organic cranberry, salt, cultures - pair with herbal remedies or restorative diets to reduce instance of parasitic activity and increase nutrient absorption.

Our Raw Goat Milk Cheeses are available everywhere Solutions is sold and come in individual 8oz blocks ✌️

There is an interesting discussion regarding pet food and the "nutritional adequacy" for common disease states. Because of the way that cats often are fed, health issues prevail as a common physical and mental state, instead of being the exceptions to the general rule of functioning health. Chronic kidney failure, arthritis, diabetes, pancreatitis, etc, can all be traced back to low moisture, high carb, synthetic isolate laden, high heat processed foods in one way or another. Because of the enormous frequency of these disease states, we, consumers, wind up micro-analyzing all foods for the same common things, even though those things aren't relevant for all foods.

For example, an analysis of food based on "dry matter" (what nutrients remain when you remove moisture), while useful for a dried food, doesn't really mean anything when analyzing a raw food that contains its innate cellular moisture, an intrinsic part of the food, and one that must be considered when discussing the nutritive value. But, since dry food is the norm, we are trained to ask for a dry matter analysis so that the results aren't "diluted" by moisture, a vital nutrient in and of itself.

Once, I had a representative of a kibble company tell me that kibble has "more" protein than raw food, and used the percentages on the guaranteed analyses as proof. Of course, because kibble has no moisture innately, the percentage of all the other nutrients increased - not because they exist in higher amounts, but because another nutrient (water) was cut out of the equation. 100% of half of a pie doesn't mean that you have "more" pie than 50% of a whole pie.

Chicken for Cats and Pork for Cats are made using high moisture, raw, unpasteurized, fermented foods - zero carbs, zero synthetics. They are available everywhere Solutions is sold!

"Regenerative Farming" is a term that is becoming more and more recognized as a quality marker in both pet foods and human foods. As people attempt to make the best choices for themselves and their pets, educating themselves as best they can against the barrage of buzzwords thrown at them, they begin to look beyond colorful packaging and clever labeling. We saw it first with terms like "Organic" and "Free Range" - eventually, the mass producers jump on the bandwagon - in word, but not in practice. Rather than alter their food production methods, they simply change the legal definition of terms to suit their activity, inducing even more consumer confusion.

Lately, "regenerative farming" has been undergoing a similar metamorphosis. There is no "legal" definition that applies, and so companies have been applying the terminology to, essentially, whatever they want. Like "sustainable", "organic", and other similar terms, eventually a legal definition will be established - one that will be less than helpful in terms of maintaining the integrity of the practice.

At its most fundamental, regenerative farming is the act of cultivating land and animals in ways that actively renew and improve existing environments and systems. It goes beyond "sustaining" and moves into "building" for future health and long term viability. The symbiosis between land and animal, integrated, clean, honorable. Regenerative farming is a way forward for the health of the world.

Head on a swivel, eyes open, it is important to verify what people mean when they say things. A lot of money is spent in attempt to maintain consumer confusion. Let's cut through the noise.

TUMMY BUTTER KEFIR

Raw goat milk kefir is a cultured dairy drink made by fermenting goat milk with kefir grains. While it shares similarities with yogurt, kefir has a more liquid texture and contains a broader range of beneficial microbes. It's packed with essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamins A and D, along with probiotic organisms such as Lactic Acid Bacteria, Acetic Acid Bacteria, and yeasts like Saccharomyces and Kluyveromyces.

Kefir is often used to help restore balance in the gut, particularly when it comes to yeast overgrowth. Issues like taking antibiotics, consuming too much sugar, a weakened immune system, hormonal shifts, or certain health conditions can disrupt your gut’s natural balance, leading to the overgrowth of yeasts like Candida. This can result in uncomfortable symptoms, including skin rashes, hot spots, and other related conditions.

Thanks to its rich mix of beneficial microbes, kefir can help restore gut harmony through a process called competitive inhibition. By introducing healthy yeasts and bacteria into the digestive system, kefir helps starve out overgrown yeasts by competing for space and nutrients, gradually helping to bring things back into balance.

Now shipping: TUMMY BUTTER KEFIR! Look for the blue "kefir" stickers on cartons of Tummy Butter Tea to spot this new addition. Tummy Butter Kefir offers all the same benefits as Tummy Butter Tea, but with the added perks of kefir for even more gut support. If your pet was already getting Tummy Butter Tea, mixing this kefir with any of our other milks may help them transition to the new version easier than otherwise ✌️
