If your pet or someone you know has a pet that suffers from AO, and the vet is recommending this treatment, you NEED to read this article and educate yourselves. I'd never subject my pups to this.

The company says the side effects represent a fraction of the 18 million injections given in the U.S. and abroad.

Warmer weather means Fleas & Ticks will be returning. Most "preventatives" on the market contain neurotoxins which your pet is absorbing or ingesting! These are harmful chemicals which can lead to seizures, digestive disorders, cancer and even death.
We choose to use Safe & Natural products monthly and before our walks. Our favorite "go to" is Kin + Kind Flea + Tick spray. We even use it on ourselves! Message me for other safe options depending on your lifestyle.

Very important to know and share with your Vet!! I've personally seen this and had traditional vets not understand what they were looking at and assumed disease, and wanted more expensive tests performed.

Many of the “normal” ranges were developed using pets consuming an inappropriate, cereal-based diet.

It is important for you and your veterinarian to understand the accepted norms for your pet. Here are some values that may be different for your raw-fed dog:
⬆️ Creatinine (Cr)
⬆️ Hematocrit (PCV)
⬆️ Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
⬇️ Triglycerides (LDL)
⬇️ Blood Sugar

I do actually offer a service where I help you understand your pet's labwork. Available here: http://tinyurl.com/yasw8jhb

This is a GREAT line up speakers! Tune in!!

Our dogs are sicker than ever before, but why?

Is it because of lifestyle and diet, or is it something else?

The truth is, even if you’re doing everything right regarding your dog's health, you really can’t outrun chemical toxicity.

Fortunately, Dr. Odette Suter, one of the world’s most renowned holistic veterinarians, has partnered with Pet Summits to bring you once again the Dog Detox Summit. It’s completely free and online from February 17 - 18, 2024 .

Dr. Odette Suter, owner of Peak Animal Health Center, graduated from veterinary school in Switzerland in 1994. Early on, she recognized the limitations of conventional medicine and questioned its role in true healing. Her unconventional upbringing combined with her own healing journey has led her to explore many avenues to discover and treat the underlying cause of disease of her animal patients.

Over the years she has helped thousands of animals recover from toxin-related health issues, even when it felt like all hope was lost.

Dr. Odette Suter has brought all of her colleagues together, including myself, in order to share what really works when it comes to raising your pets in a safe, toxin free environment, even when it feels like there is no hope left because of the toxic world we live in today.

This summit is for pet parents who want to learn how to make their dogs happier by increasing their energy, improving digestion, boosting their immune system, reducing inflammation—which is a leading cause of many diseases—and maintaining a healthy weight.

You can get started right now by registering here!

The line-up of incredible speakers at this summit includes myself, Zach Bush MD, Dr. Gary Richter, Dr. Peter Dobias, Dr. Judy Morgan, Carolyn Ingraham and so many more.

It’s absolutely FREE for a limited time (February 17 - 18, 2024) plus it’s completely online so there’s nothing stopping you from joining!

You’ll get to mingle with a community of like-minded dog owners who are committed to improving their dogs' quality of life too.

It’s time to solve the unprecedented rate of disease in our dogs and this could be the answer!

Looking to improve what is in your pup's bowl, but not sure where to start? You can add a simple pureed food topper made from safe fruits and vegetables. You can even add in the mix pet formulated bone broth or goat's milk. Here's a mix I did today for mine.

Cat parents.....looking for healthier options for your kitty? Check out Green Juju!

Is Green Juju good for cats? … The answer is nearly always YES! 😻

Cats love — and benefit greatly — from a wide variety of Green Juju products for the same reason dogs benefit from the extraordinary nutrition in our freeze-dried raw diet recipes, freeze-dried bites and trainers, bone broths, raw goat’s milk and fermented pastes.

Our frozen vegetable blends are the only products we offer that don’t provide the same nutritional power as they do for dogs.

Even then, the blends are completely safe for cats. As obligate carnivores, cats typically don’t need as much plant matter, though many cats do benefit from the extra fiber!

For those wondering how to handle/treat the current Respiratory Illness affecting dogs....

Our medical team has reviewed the current data on the canine respiratory illness going around and have adjusted our recommendations accordingly. Please read our advisory and do not hesitate to contact us at (973) 606-1101 with any questions or should your dog show signs of illness.

09/15/2023

These leashes are not safe at all!! You have no control, I've seen them get yanked out of owners hands, and also saw them cause burns to legs and a child's neck as the dog ran past. Best bet is a good quality leather leash that ALWAYS should be looped around your wrist.

Saw a video on FB but in my opinion it was too graphic to repost. It was of a dog falling out of the car window. Dogs with their heads, or even half of their bodies, out of the car windows is one of my biggest peeves!!! It looks fun, but all I see is the danger. How many times has a rock hit your car while driving? Now what if that were your dog's head/face? A sharp turn of the wheel or sudden stop can send them flying. Why take the risk? Please..... secure your pups in your vehicle at all times.

Please share. September is Su***de Prevention Month. Veterinarians experience extreme stress, daily. Please be kind.

In continued support for Su***de Awareness Month, we wanted to share ways you can help your Veterinary Staff!

Can you "Read" your dog? So important especially if children are around or if you are active and out in the community a lot.

Body language in dogs is so important! They have many subtle and some not so subtle body language cues that help us to know when they are happy, fearful, or anxious. Knowing how to read all of these body language cues can help you make the best decisions for your pup no matter what situation they are in. It is particularly important for you to pay attention to these when they are in new, stressful situations like: meeting new animals, hanging out at the dog park, going to the vet, etc.

Changes coming, stay tuned.

Been awhile since I posted, so my apologies to those that follow.
Just a reminder that many of the fruits & veggies we eat are safe and beneficial to our dogs. Here's my home-made meal topper for our pups....ground and pureed for better nutrient absorption. They love it!

YES!!! FINALLY!!!! Another vet speaking the truth about rice for upset stomachs - PLEASE READ and STOP GIVING!!!

I have to admit I have some strong opinions. And I know some of my opinions are completely contrary to “everything you read on the Internet“. But there’s always a reason I disagree.

So what am I talking about today? Rice.

It’s everywhere. Even conventional veterinarians who are adamantly opposed to people food, they’ll tell you “feed chicken and rice“ if your dog has a sensitive stomach or diarrhea or some thing like that.

What’s my problem? There are three aspects that I feel should also be covered:

First, rice is definitely bland for us humans. That BRAT diet thing. Banana, rice, applesauce, toast. So if we have the flu, we’re supposed to eat these bland foods. That’s for humans! There are times what works for humans works for dogs and cats. In the case of a sensitive stomach, it’s absolutely not the case!

Why is that? You might ask

Humans produce lots of amylase. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates. Specifically rice. Dogs and cats have very little amylase by comparison. And if their intestines are messed up, dogs and cats have even less amylase. So if you feed them rice and their guts are screwed up, you’re likely to make things even worse!

Some people think rice is a good binder. Plug the dog up. I would argue with you that cheese is more likely to plug up the system.
But if you wanted some thing that’s socially acceptable and a little bit easier to digest and known to help with diarrhea: how about canned pumpkin?

So when we’re talking general dietary distress and look at the chicken and rice concept, I would argue that it’s more appropriate to feed chicken. Only. Unless of course the dog or cat is sensitive to chicken.

What do we use rice for? Me personally I think it makes my sushi rolls taste absolutely fabulous! But if I eat 75% carbohydrates at every meal, like many common dog food diets, I won’t fit through my front door. Because most dogs and cats are neutered, they no longer have the hormonal driven ability to maintain lean, muscular body weight. They are like post menopausal women. Say the word carbohydrate and we all get fat.

We can try to argue that there is nutritional value in rice. Let’s be real. It’s primarily a very cheap filler, AKA a source of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates turn into sugar. Excess sugar is stored as fat. Rice makes us fat.

Now here’s my pet peeve. To explain this, I’m going to give a short science lesson. (by the way, every veterinarian, physician, nurse, chiropractor, healthcare, professional, learns this information the very first year of medical training. Maybe they forget?)

Food is primarily made up of protein, fat and carbohydrate. Sure, there’s a little bit of vitamins and minerals but it’s mostly protein, fat and carbohydrate. So we eat our food. It goes into the stomach. A well functioning stomach has high levels of acid. The acid breaks proteins down into tiny little pieces called amino acids. The amino acids are absorbed by the body and turned back into muscle. Like, you know, muscle. Or the heart. Because the heart is a muscle. Next the food goes into the small intestines. The duct from the gallbladder is right across the intestinal street from the duct from the pancreas. The gallbladder contains bile. Bile breaks down fat.

So what’s left? That’s right. Carbohydrates. The primary job of the pancreas is to digest carbohydrates! Not fat. Not proteins. Sure, the pancreas has a small function of digesting fat and protein; the primary job of the pancreas is to digest carbohydrates!

So if a dog has an upset stomach, it’s always possible that it has a pi**ed off pancreas. If there’s any possibility at all that the dog has a pi**ed off pancreas, why in the world would we feed rice which makes the pancreas even more pi**ed off?

Now you’re probably asking yourself why in the world your veterinarian told you that pancreatitis was a fat problem? That is a beautiful question! There is a blood test to evaluate the function of the pancreas. It measures pancreatic lipase. (Lipase is an enzyme that digests fat – AKA lipid.) So if the pancreatic lipase is high, the dog has pancreatitis. But it doesn’t mean the illness is a lipid or fat issue, it just means the lipase is high, but we absolutely need to stop feeding freaking carbohydrates because the primary enzyme made in the pancreas is amylase.

Why are 99.7% of veterinarians continuing to tell people that their dog has pancreatitis and absolutely must avoid fat? Marketing. Pure and simple.

It’s the pet food companies teaching the veterinarians that it’s a fat problem. And it’s a matter of forgetting the first year of veterinary school. I kid you not. Every single veterinary student learns in physiology class first year of vet school the primary function of the pancreas is carbohydrates metabolism.

So please. Skip the rice. It’s a cheap filler, has very little nutritional benefit and could be making things worse especially in dogs with pancreatitis.

What are your pets?? Ours are definetly Fire and Earth!

Very interesting to understand and so beneficial to our pets. Our old lab "ran hot" and cooling foods helped him tremendously!

💾 Save for later!

Applying principles of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, including energetics and personality type, can lead you to feeding the foods most beneficial for your pet.

A simple application of this theory is feeding a pet with a "warm" condition, cooling proteins. The season of the year also helps determine the foods to select. In the hot summer time, a warming food such as lamb may adversely affect the Fire pet, even if lamb can be tolerated in the winter. Conversely, a cool food such as duck may not work well for an older, arthritic pet in the winter.

Organic Almond Butter is just one safe alternative.

⚠️ Ditch the peanut butter!

Peanut butter may be a popular treat but it's not safe. Here are some of the toxic problems lurking in peanut butter ...

AFLATOXIN … It’s the most carcinogenic (cancer-causing) naturally-occurring substance known to man … and dog. They’re toxic to the liver and have caused liver cancer in laboratory animals. The highest levels are found in freshly-ground rather than processed peanut butter.

HARMFUL FATS … Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils create trans fats … and they’ve been linked to chronic inflammation.

SUGAR … It leads to yeast, and feeds bacteria, parasites and cancer … and leads to eating more which is the stepping stone to weight gain and diabetes … for you and your dog.

XYLITOL… This artificial sweetener is used in some peanut butters to cut calories… but it’s deadly to dogs.

UNBALANCED FATS … Peanut butter is high in inflammatory omega-6 fats… as much as 178 times more than omega-3s … and inflammation can lead to allergies and joint disease.

GLYPHOSATE … It’s been identified by the World Health Organization as a probable carcinogen. It’s sprayed on peanut crops before harvest and absorbed into the crop … so you can’t wash it off.

LECTINS … These anti-nutrients block absorption of vitamins, minerals and important proteins, and interfere with digestive enzymes … and rob your dog of nutrition.
