FEEDING DRY PET FOOD OR TREATS? WHY YOU SHOULD BE ADDING THIS VEGETABLE TO THEIR DOG’S DIET! 🥕🐶

Pet food companies all around the globe are struggling to control mold levels🧫 in dry and canned pet food, with dozens of lawsuits developing over pet deaths.

Pets that eat food containing unsafe levels of these molds are highly susceptible to aflatoxin poisoning. These fungal toxins not only can cause organ damage and immune problems, consumption of aflatoxins has been associated with increased risk of developing liver cancer!

One easy way to counteract the harmful effects of aflatoxins is to feed apiaceous vegetables such as carrots.🥕 Carrots contain polyacetylenes, an unusual class of compounds that play an important role in detoxifying several cancer-causing substances, specifically these AFLATOXINS.

Eliminating aflatoxins from your dog’s body can be really difficult but serving up carrots is a great way to enhance the metabolism of these toxic compounds!

💁🏻‍♂️HOW TO FEED: Raw or cooked, carrots make great training treats or can be minced and added in with your dog’s food. Chop carrots into a bite-size pieces appropriate for your dog’s size. The green leaves of carrots can also be fed for an added boost of antioxidants and nutrients.

What would happen if you fed your dog🐶 245 cloves of garlic🧄 in a week??

21 years ago an experiment was conducted by Japanese scientists🇯🇵 who wanted to know what would happen if dogs were fed lots of Garlic Extract🧄💦 for 7 days straight.

At the end of the trial, NO dogs died.🙏

In fact, none of the dogs even showed any symptoms, but the scientists found microscopic🔬 changes in some red blood cells🩸, leading to the conclusion that garlic may be toxic☠️ to dogs.

How much garlic extract was fed to these dogs in the study, you ask? Well it would be the equivalent of feeding a 70lb golden retriever🐕 245 cloves of garlic for one week (2.46lbs of raw garlic).

Since then, the ASPCA, American Kennel Club, HSUS and most online pet resources continue to say “garlic is toxic to pets," but garlic is listed as a safe pet food ingredient by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). Confused? So are most pet lovers around the world.

Tune in to our The Forever Dog Food Myth Busters Facebook live tomorrow at 10am ET on The Forever Dog page.

We cover garlic confusion and many other urban legend food fears in our upcoming book, The Forever Dog available now for pre-order.

One of the conversations I enjoy most with the patients I visit is about the visions they see. The other day I was with a gentleman who shared that he has been seeing people in his room, mostly men. He is not afraid of them, they seem like they are there to help him feel less alone.

I asked if he talked to them; he told me he didn't know what to say, so we discussed things he could ask them. He asked me if this meant he was dying soon. My response was that while yes... he is dying, I did not believe they are representative of the time frame. I told him I thought that maybe being near death allowed him to be more receptive to their presence and they knew that, which is why they were there. This seemed an acceptable answer to him.

I saw him again the following day and he told me that he started to talk to them, they didn't say words, but he felt their answers, one of which was that he was safe and not to be afraid, which he welcomed. Then he proceeded to tell me that his two dogs who had passed away came to see him. A tear rolled down his cheek. He said they jumped on his bed and curled up next to him.

I would like to think that when I am near death, my dog Jack will curl up next to me...

Thank you Pets Talk, beautiful...

Beautiful tribute

Their blood stained the land, as they served with pride. A duty to their master, they stood side by side. From the sky, to the sea, through a vast open land, together they fought—both animal and man.

They flew through the sky, as messengers on wing dodging bombs and bullets, for salvation to bring. Their wings did strain, till their hearts near burst, they flew day and night, never fearing the worst.

They walked together midst a bomb spangled field, both dog and handler, neither one would yield. The bond and the friendships they shared through war, will live and be remembered for ever more.

Through the sand so fine, they lolloped to the fore they’re the ships of the desert, the Camel Corp. Over hills and through valleys, the line did twine as they carried their loads to the firing line.

Into combat they rode, both man and steed, through the fear of battle, they were a special breed. The mateship of horse and rider was strong made the parting in death, seem so heartless and wrong.

As beasts of burden, they were put to the test, with hearts filled with anguish, they gave their best. They died where they fell, while the others pulled on.

Are they lost in life’s story, can we still hear their song? The theatre of war—hell for animal and man whatever the cost, they cannot understand.

So remember them kindly, as you walk through life, for they too served proudly, to help make things right.
