Important info!!!

Please take note, the "cure" is often far more dangerous than the danger we believe we are protecting them from.

Since Seresto pet collars were introduced, the EPA has received more than 75,000 reports related to the collars, including 907 involving human harm.

❌ PLEASE LET THEM BE ❌
The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.
Their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.
Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes.
They regularly cause intestinal blockages and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.
Please be safe with your dogs!

HALF TRUTHS TO INDOCTRINATE VETERINARIANS TO OVERDOSE, OVER-VACCINATE AND INAPPROPRIATELY VACCINATE

This article in Veterinary Practice News titled “Tailoring Vaccine Protocols” starts with this introduction-

“Pet owners are starting to question veterinarians about the need for vaccinating their pets(this part is true and good) due to misinformation about pets who have had a reaction. (This is a lie from the pit of hell).”

I am a veterinarian practicing for 34 years and I know what information is correct-

Yes, pets are getting sick, many dying in the USA and all over the world due to overdosing, over-vaccination and inappropriate vaccination.

I see it daily and have done extensive research into the science and know its true!

Many pet owners also know it and have my support through the Protect The Pets movement and are no longer going to trust and allow veterinarians to injure and kill their pets!

Propaganda as seen clearly in this article, is a desperate attempt to keep the blood money flowing into the coffers of those who benefit from this evil!

A simple blood test called a titer is affordable, accurate and indicates if the pet has active immunity against the only 3 pathogens we should be vaccinating against in dogs- rabies, parvo and distemper. http://www.protectthepets.com/order-a-titer.html

Protect The Pets offers affordable titer testing, guides pet owners to a correct dosing of vaccines by weight, and offers Immunity Certificates. All historic undertakings and the new standard of care.

Just like in the cigarette industry where they denied ci******es could be harmful to your health for years to continue to prey on people for the love of money, the Veterinary industry is guilty of the same.

Make no mistake, I am walking in the truth and will not sell out your precious pet for the love of money.

My motive is the love of your precious pets and together and united we will be victorious!

Educate, encourage and stand!

Drive the change!

Protect the pets! Doc

For the dog's sake let's accept this fact: shortcuts are usually bad, training is key.

Yes our quality kibble can and should be enhanced, cooked leafy greens to include spinach, chard and broccoli, and for yellow/orange I suggest winter squash such as butternut as well as sweet potatoes, both better than carrots as our top choices.

HERE’S WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ADD FRESH “HUMAN FOOD” TO YOUR PET’S KIBBLE

Today, ninety-six percent of pet owners around the globe are feeding dry commercial pet foods. Of those 96%, there is a large majority that believes dried commercial pet food is really all their pet needs and would never stop to consider the benefits of adding fresh “human food”.

(“Human food” definition in this article: clean sources of meat-based proteins and some organic plant matter, not beer and nachos 😉)

There are many reasons why some of these pet parents feel this way, however the most popular reason today seems to be the 50-year-old rumor that is in existence and still spreading.

You know the one: “Giving your animal table scraps is bad!”

How or when did this terrible rumor start?

Well, if we go back in time, research shows that shortly after the invention of processed pet foods, manufacturers were having a hard time convincing pet parents to make the switch from foods in their refrigerators to their commercial pet foods.

So in 1964, the pet food industry, along with the PFI, joined together with a whole bunch of marketing dollars and launched one of the most influential campaigns the pet world had ever seen: the “Ban All Table Scraps from your Pets’ Bowls” campaign!

Through thousands of newspapers, magazines, and news stations, the public was warned about the dangers of table food scraps or “human food” and the importance of feeding “processed” commercial pet food. From there, the giant smear campaign took off!

Not only did this clever campaign work, but it was so impactful that now, 50 years later, folks are still in fear of offering anything that is not labeled pet food.

SO IS IT A GOOD THING TO ONLY OFFER YOUR PET DRIED KIBBLE?

Not according to ongoing research it isn’t, especially with today’s cancer rates being 1 in 2 dogs!

In a 2005 study conducted at Purdue University on Scottish Terriers, the results showed that adding fresh vegetables to dry commercial kibble actually prevented and/or slowed down the development of transitional cell carcinoma (aka bladder cancer)!

In the study, dogs ate a diet of dry commercial pet food, while some got an assortment of vegetables added to the mix at least 3 times per week.

When the study was concluded, according to the researchers, they weren’t really shocked by the results.

Here’s what they found:

Dogs that ate any green leafy vegetables, like broccoli, had reduced the risk of developing bladder cancer by 90% and the dogs that consumed any yellow – orange vegetables like carrots reduced the risk by 70%!

Seriously! A lousy carrot helped smash the potential of cancer.

( http://ilarjournal.oxfordjournals.org/content/55/1/100.full ) (Raghavan, Knapp, Bonney, 2005) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16013542/

Yes, of course cats are obligate carnivores (must have meat to survive) and our dogs are facultative carnivores (carnivores with omnivorous potential if circumstances demand) so offering clean meat-based protein sources should always be top priority and essential.

However, because today’s world is ever-so changing due to factory farmed livestock being fed genetically modified grains and our planet being contaminated with every type of pesticide, fungicide and larvicide, the importance of fresh, organic plant matter to help detox the body couldn’t be more crucial.

So if the “cancer reducing benefit” doesn’t tickle your fancy enough to convince you to add any “human fresh foods” to your pet’s bowl, then maybe think of it this way:

How bad would it suck if someone forced you to eat dry processed foods your whole lIfe?!

Thank you Jean,

Welcome Dr. Jean Dodds!

World Renowned Dr. Jean Dodds Joins the Growing List of Veterinarians Uniting to Protect The Pets!

While we have been taught the Hippocratic Oath to “do no harm”, our initial education and continuing education continues to embrace overdosing vaccines for tiny pets, over-vaccination when not needed, and inappropriate vaccination for pets known to be at risk for adverse effects (vaccinosis). In my opinion, this stems primarily from the misguided opinion that regular booster vaccinations are needed and innocuous, while sustaining practice viability from reminding clients to seek regular veterinary preventive care and checkups for their pets.

When I began practicing in 1985, I believed vaccines caused no harm. But with time it became apparent there were problems. I reached out to Dr. Dodds in the late 80’s and early 90’s. She revealed the facts-based truth and legitimized my concerns. I know she has helped countless vets to stand up for the truth and live their Oath. Dr. Dodds has and continues to help untold number of pet owners protect their pets!

It’s a proud day for all! Please officially welcome Dr. Dodds to the Protect The Pets Movement!

But before you should give your dog any vaccine, there are questions you should ask: Is the vaccine safe?
Is it effective? Is the disease it’s intended to prevent dangerous? I’m about to tell you some things that will make you reconsider whether the kennel cough vaccine is really the best choice for...
