What would your pets (let's not leave out the kitties!) Google?

02/05/2024

I'd forgotten how much fun it is to talk about pet food!

02/02/2024

It's Friday!

What are you looking forward to doing with your pet?

01/31/2024

What length of time do you think is best for learning something new?

01/31/2024

The kitten loves to taunt the dogs 🤣

Having driven at east 40 hours in the past 7 days, knowing my pets were waiting for me is a comfort, and it's nice to chill with them now ❤

(He really does mock them mercilessly! He has more than a dozen other places he could play or chill and he chooses to come bother them 😆🤷‍♀️)

01/30/2024

Not sure it's for you?

Well...

Are you a pet parent?

A pet professional?

Someone simply gifted with working with pets?

Great!

I've made this for anyone who wants to simplify pet health for themselves or anyone else.

So comment “I'm in!” below to join us Feb 1st.

Bonus points if you share a picture you with your pet!

(or the friend's pet you want to help - I see you pet sitters out there! 😉)

Part 4

You don't have to do it alone ❤

You don't have to figure out all-the-things.

You can tap into my experience, expertise, and resources!

As a veterinary nurse, mom, and pet parent, I know the importance of *simple*.

Join me next week to learn how straightforward it really can be! We'll cover:

-How to evaluate a food with 9 yes/no questions

-How to determine the real cost of a food in 5 steps

-How to identify a brand you can trust using a few key factors

(still finalizing the number on that last one 🤔😉)

Who do you know who wants to take the confusion out of the equation and give their pet(s) the best year yet?

(I promise it's easier than the training it took to get this picture 🤣)

Part 3

I've already brought up genetics - but they're the loaded gun.

Something has to pull the trigger.

This is well studied, but not as widely known.

Like the kitten I took in last fall - I quickly noticed he didn't walk right and didn't like to jump much.

I had seen the food they were giving, and understood it was their best ❤

Don't get me wrong, he is very happy!

AND with our nutrition system, I've happily watched him start to grow out of it!

After all, how good is a house blueprint if you're using cracked bricks, splintered timbers, and rusty pipes?

The quality of the building blocks, parts, and pieces *matter*.

And just like most people don't make their own brick; log, cut, and dry their own lumber; or make their own pipes, most don't raise all their food for them or their pets.

You have to find a team! ;)

01/28/2024

Part 2

The most interesting thing about pet nutrition is:

The label doesn't even give you half the story.

Who owns the brand? And who owns the company that owns the brand?

What equipment do they use and how long are their contracts for ingredients?

Do they use Every. Legal. Loophole?

Or do they avoid them by actually having sound business practices?

I could go on…

It's not hard - the opposite, in fact.

It's terrifyingly EASY.

And it shows.

Chronic health issues abound, and pets live a fraction of the time their genetics indicate they can.

And yet… with all the information out there, people are more confused than ever.

01/27/2024

The thing about cutting corners is…

Cleaning up afterwards can be a nightmare.

It happens with your house.

It happens with relationships.

It happens with health…

It also happens with our pets.

***

Faulty equipment, fencing, skimping on veterinary care…

It ALL adds up.

BUT …

What about nutrition?

With as many layers as the pet industry has, the cut corners add up…

(Part 1)

01/27/2024

Giving our pets the longest and best life possible takes intention.

What are you doing this year for your pets? ❤

11/28/2023

Recovering from head cold thoughts:

Is it really polydactyly if the dew claw is a full-fledged toe?

Why is polydactyly more common in cats?

Does it really make them better hunters, or is it coincidence?

And...

What if people knew that their pet's food could pay for itself?

11/25/2023

What difference can food make??

Gina writes:

"This testimonial is long overdue….

"My moms tiny poodle Avalee has struggled with her health for many years prior to LA.

"So Avalee had bad allergies, and her skin was oily, her coat was thin, and she was on 5 star foods according to many dog food sites. Avalee had to have allergy shots, and even her liver was to the point the vet said she would need surgery. It took quite some time to convince my mom to try LA and cut out all else and give LA a chance to do what I have seen it do before… Heal then from the inside out.

"So finally my mom stopped all else and just did the LA. It took time yes, quite some time, but over time each blood work panel and check she improved. Liver function got better and better, skin got better, coat has gotten thicker, the stinky oily smell she use to have has disappeared.

"She got off most of the allergy shots now, and looks pretty dang good. LA has done just what I knew it would do….Heal her body from the inside out. Now her liver function by proven testing is perfect!!! Nothing wrong with it!

"From surgery need to a few years later…perfect liver function! Come on!!!! Totally amazing! ...cells do take time to regenerate so give it time! I promise good changes will happen."

If treats can have short term and long term health effects, then how much of an effect do you think their food has?

Does their daily dish accelerate or slow down their...
Aging?
Chronic health issues?
Allergies?

Which leads us to #3

Spend a little more on *quality* food to decrease the quantity of health problems and veterinarian appointments!

Not just for your pet - the FDA has had reports of contaminated pet foods making family members sick! This happens most often with infants, sadly.
https://bit.ly/Petfoodrecallsandinfants

Having a fairly constant supply of cheap and problematic food that is contaminated off and on over the years isn't good for our pets or other family members.

The frequent recalls in the pet food industry reveal that what's on the label really isn't everything!

Business principles MATTER. Some contaminants that cause recalls (looking at you, Salmonella!) can remain on the equipment even after intensive cleaning.

In fact, there are entire production plants that have been shut down because they simply can't eliminate it!

How many recalls has your food had in the last 5 years? 10? 25?

We feed a food that has had NONE 🚫 in 25 years of business. It was founded 25 years ago, so zero in the entire existence of the company.

Rigorous safety protocols AND a system that can immediately contact everyone that has bought their food in case a recall ever does happen.

A company that actually cares for your pet's health doesn't compromise!

It's the only company we buy from any more - mystery allergies cleared up, anxiety eased, and our dogs and cats have never been healthier 😉

Cheap treats can cost you a lot!

Sometimes even your pet's life.

We covered holiday plants, but in all actuality, your pet is in most danger from the treats and table food during this season.

Anyone who's worked in a vet clinic for any amount of time knows!

So holiday tip #2 is...

Pay more for nutritious and digestible treats!

Those pictured below may be "affordable" but they can be immediately deadly (impacted intestines), be long-term deadly due to having many toxins, and your pet may as well be consuming cardboard for all the nutrition they're getting...

We invite you to up-level your treat game this season! Give them something that satisfies without compromise - only the best for the pets 👌

Did you know that many popular flowers and treats on sale at this time of year can cause problems for pets?

You can take some simple steps to keep them safe, though!

1. If you want to have mistletoe or poinsettias (or other toxic-to-pets plants) in your home, put them where they cannot be chewed!

Of the two I've mentioned, mistletoe is far more dangerous - a pet would have to eat a great deal of poinsettia to have more than a mild reaction. (Purdue has a great article on it!)

So HUZZAH! You can beautify your home with plants *so long as* you take this simple precaution and keep them out of reach.

The best thing about having a practically untrained yearling about 10x your weight is...

You get a lot of experience FAST 🤣

My first saddle was thrown in with a couple others my parents bought - it was small enough for me, but big enough for him, and weighed close to 50 lbs.

(More than half my own weight)

It was a relic of the days when all saddles were real leather, and none of the saddle trees were fiberglass. Not one shred of it was synthetic - I remember the sheep's wool underside had bits missing.

***

Getting a lot of experience fast included getting dragged a bit, before he figured out what a halter meant and that he could trust a tiny teen predator to not lead him into the jaws of death.

It meant hefting ye olde saddle around, and getting it on a back I couldn't see over 💪

The upside was his usual calm demeanor - he's a draft cross. He also didn't seem to want to put forth the energy for bucking, and wasn't really all that fast at running.

But boy, could he make the earth SHAKE as he bulldozed across the land!
..he was fast enough for some falls, though.

Horse flies? Better kill it before Sam knows it's there, or he'll scoot 😆 they're the only thing I haven't gotten him to tolerate, and I don't blame him.

Tarps, clunking tin cans, trailing ropes, costumes - old hat!

Pivot, side pass, mount from either side, pile kids on him to see how many will fit? Doesn't phase him.

You could ride him ba****ck with a halter (he needs a little reminding now that he isn't being ridden frequently), and one of my younger sisters could catch him at pasture, somehow shimmy up his leg (or something!), get on his back, and ride him back to the gate with said halter - she was 9 at the time.

But horse flies?! 😱

It's his quirk 🤷‍♀️

And he would get some of the strangest ailments and injuries...

Frodo again! With me doing silly stuff to see if how he takes it. And just like his siblings, he just rolls with it 🤣 #allonsylife #allonsypuppies #familydog #trainee #shenanigans #servicedogpotential

Just an evening at home

Frodo is approaching near flawlessness on our outings! So patient and confident in every situation ❤ ALWAYS add impulse control training to your regimen! If your dog doesn't learn to control impulses, they will only listen in ideal and controlled circumstances (like your home or at the trainers). #allonsylife #allonsypuppies #training #aussiedoodle #familydog #pupintraining #available

I have to say, figuring out how to keep a "pack" this size safe, happy, and contained while they learn potty skills has been interesting! Also, keeping the kibble vault safe from the toddlers (who designs a bug-proof, animal-proof container and forgets to toddler-proof it? 😆) took some experimentation. They love coming in and out, having a balance of rough-housing outside and chilling inside. #allonsylife #allonsypuppies #aussiedoodlelife #aussiedoodlelove #aussiedoodle #aussiedoodlepuppy

Gimli on a walk! He figured out where to walk SO quickly! #allonsylife #allonsypuppies #aussiedoodlelove #aussiedoodle #aussiedoodlepuppy #aussiedoodlelife

Took Gimli out for some new experiences! He adapted well - to the stroller and a new environment. Once short walk and he was already figuring out where I wanted him to walk with only some nudging! What a good boy! ❤❤❤ #allonsylife #allonsypuppies #aussiedoodlelove #aussiedoodle #pupintraining #futurefamilydog #familydog
