Temperatures are starting to climb! Always check the pavement to ensure it isn’t too hot for puppy paws (causing burns). As shown in the picture, see if your hand can tolerate the heat. If you cannot, your dog cannot either. Early morning and evening walks are ideal during the summer months to avoid direct sunlight on sidewalks and pavements🐾

Animals have souls. They have emotions. They feel pain. Their only choices are the ones we give them. They trust us.

The choices we make for them will give them life or give them death. Kibble causes disease. Flea/tick and heart worm “preventatives” are absolute poison. Vaccinations contain carcinogenic ingredients that cause seizures, lameness, illness, and chronic disease. And yet this is what we are told to give our animals to keep them healthy.

I will ALWAYS advocate for animals and I will ALWAYS speak the truth to show you how to take care of your furbabies. Because they can’t tell you what they need. But they will receive the poor outcomes if changes are not made for them.

Empower yourself with knowledge. Ask questions. See the truth behind the curtain. I am here for you🐾

Tough choices out there for the cat moms and dads!🤣

Kitties can THRIVE on a raw diet. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their diet should be 100% meat. When they are fed a biologically appropriate diet, health problems subside and they can get back to secretly planning their next attempt to trip you down the stairs😝

Our furry friends cannot get the Coronavirus! I cannot stress this enough.

Animals are very healing for us and we are for them as well. Please keep your babies at home with you, they deserve it❤️

Heads up pup parents❤️

Ethanol glycol, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol are all ingredients found in hand sanitizers. If a dog ingests these poisons, they can go into kidney failure and possibly death. Please be mindful as you’re using hand sanitizers around your pets.

Luckily the coronavirus is not a threat to our dogs. However, it doesn’t hurt to enhance their immunity by feeding fresh fruits and veggies. Our boys are enjoying extra oranges today🐾

Please pass along to keep our doggies safe!

Calming anxiety in dogs🐾

Dogs obviously cannot speak to us to tell us what they need. Instead, they use body language with each other as well as humans.

This big boy is my pup’s dad, Grub. He is a gorgeous baby with soulful eyes. I fell in love with him immediately!

Although he is allowing me to love on him, I could tell from his body language that I was crowding his space and he was saying “no thanks.” When dogs turn their head away from something (people, toys, other dogs, foods, etc) it simply means they are not interested and please stop.

If a dog is feeling a little nervous around you, such as Grubbers because I am a stranger, you can rest your hand on one of their biggest calming spots, the chest. I knew Grub was nervous, so I rested my hand gently on his chest to let him know it’s ok, I mean no harm, and to bring his anxious energy down.

I was happy to get one kiss in, but afterwards I stopped to respect his wishes.

If your dog appears to be nervous (panting, lip licking, pacing, turning their head away) you can gently rest your hand on their chest or pet them in between their eyes. These are really good spots to help ease their anxiety.

Another tip is to take a few deep breaths to bring down your own energy. Dogs can feel our energy so we need to check in and see what we are giving off.

Lavender spray is also wonderful to have around the house. Lavender promotes relaxation and can ease anxiousness. Just a couple drops of lavender essential oil in water is all you need.

When we really start listening to our dogs and picking up their cues, we can strengthen our bond with them even more❤️

I highly, highly, highly, highly recommend dog owners wait until their dogs are 2 years old to spay/neuter. Everyone needs to read this

🛑 What Are The Risks of Spay Neuter?
We are often ask this question, so let’s dive in and take a look.
Desexing removes hormone-producing organs (the ovaries or testicles) that researchers are now finding are actually quite important to overall health. Studies also indicate that the earlier a puppy is spayed or neutered, the greater the likelihood of health problems later in life. Here are examples of studies evidencing some of these potential issues.
❗️BONE ABNORMALITIES
Studies showed that the hormone estrogen, which is no longer produced in spayed or neutered dogs, plays a crucial role in bone growth and development. The removal of estrogen-producing organs in immature dogs can cause growth plates to remain open. The dogs continue to grow and wind up with abnormal growth patterns and bone structure, which can result in irregular body proportions. (Shown in the photo example)
❗️ HIP DYSPLASIA
In a retrospective cohort study conducted at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, and published over 10 years ago in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, results showed that both male and female dogs desexed at an early age were more prone to hip dysplasia.
❗️(CCL) Injuries
A study conducted at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center on canine cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries concluded that spayed and neutered dogs had a significantly higher incidence of CCL rupture than their intact counterparts. And while large breed dogs had more CCL injuries, sterilized dogs of all breeds and sizes had increased rupture rates.
❗️BONE CANCER
In a study of Rottweilers published in 2002, it was established that the risk for bone sarcoma was significantly influenced by the age at which the dogs were desexed. For both male and female.
Among the reports and studies pointing to health concerns associated with early spaying and neutering, you can also find mention of increased incidence of:
🔹Adverse reactions to vaccines
🔹Noise phobias
🔹Fearful behavior
🔹Aggression
Our recommendation is to wait until 2 yrs with responsible pet ownership.

Lunch time🐶🐶

Reggie is enjoying apples, pears and bananas. These foods are packed full of hydration, alkalization, and vitamins. The crunch from the apples and pears help clean his teeth too🍐

Munchers is devouring organic chicken that I personally grind for him (spoiled rotten!)🐾

When feeding bananas, ALWAYS make sure they are ripe! This means brown spots on the bananas - unripe bananas will cause tummy upset and are acidic to the body.

For anyone feeding raw or homecooked, dogs need BONE in their diet for calcium. I see so many dog loafs with rice (no nutrients whatsoever), cooked turkey (dogs are meant to eat raw), and vegetables. Dogs can not survive on just meat, they need bone, liver, and a little organ here and there. And never, ever feed cooked bones, these can perforate intestines!

Side effects to feeding raw, living foods? HAPPY DOGS! Not only is feeding this way superiorly beneficial for their health, it also comes with a calmer demeanor, less stress, and feeling at ease. Their body will change too to become lean, muscular, and strong❤️

Kidneys kidneys kidneys!

The kidneys are the gatekeepers to good health. The major roles of the kidneys are to filter waste and regulate water in the body. They are VITAL in order to eliminate disease and symptoms.

Poor diet (kibble, PMR diets, BARF diets, home cooked diets with cooked meat and rice, for example), vaccinations, toxic flea/tick treatments, heart worm preventatives, medications, antibiotics, chemical baths, and chemicals around our homes (laundry detergents, scented candles, fragrance of any kind, etc) make kidneys very WEAK. The kidneys cannot keep up with the load of constant filtering.

Each kidney controls each side of the body. If a right kidney goes down, you will see symptoms such as sores, lipomas, or other issues on that side. This will show you your pup’s having a hard time eliminating on that side. You may also see swelling, water retention, bad breath, anemia, changes in urinary frequency or appearance, UTIs, etc.

Of course diet is number 1 to tackle! We want to alkalize the body and help it eliminate. HERBS are number 2.

Dr. Morse’s Kidney & Bladder glycerin is wonderful for dogs! This formula helps alkalize, removes inflammation, cleans, strengthens, and regenerates the kidneys and bladder. It will also help increase lymphatic cleaning in the kidneys as well.

If you have a pup that is sick, I highly recommend this specific herb blend along with an alkalizing, cleansing diet to get the kidneys functioning and get the body to eliminate waste. If you do decide to get this for your pup please DM me so I can tell you what the dosage is for your baby.

This formula can be found and ❤️❤️

Reggie’s healing story❤️

Reggie is an 11 year old Golden Retriever. He came to us as a 3-legged dog. Reggie tore his ACL several years ago and had the “tie the knot” surgery to repair the tear. After the surgery, he was unable to walk on his leg. The veterinarian told us he had significant arthritis and that he was in pain.

We worked with him every day, took short walks, did massage/energy healing, and changed his diet. After several months, Reggie is now RUNNING!

Reggie was also riddled with lipomas. He had one the size of a softball that is now the size of an egg. His other lipomas are shrinking too😊

And...what I find very interesting...is Reggie had a broken tooth as well. His owner decided not to do dental work and let it be. When Reggie came to us, the entire bottom of his tooth was black, gray and brown. Dead.

This is his tooth today. The black is almost gone, only a pinpoint left and his tooth is completely healing/ filling back in. I never took a before picture because I didn’t know teeth could heal! And just look how beautiful his teeth are for an old boy. He doesn’t get his teeth professionally cleaned🐾

We continue to watch his changes as he improves! He also has the energy of a puppy❤️❤️

Update from Ms. Satya

Satya was experiencing a lot of pain in her back, legs and paws. When she came to me in January, she was unable to walk and would fall. Mom took her off of kibble and changed her diet to whole, living foods.

I checked in with Mom to ask how she was doing and she said, “She is doing so much better! Now she doesn’t fall when she walks. She just needs to gain more muscle in her back legs and that’s it.”

Satya’s been on a healing diet for less than a month. Absolutely amazing! I asked Mom to take videos of her walking so we can watch her improve.

Congrats pretty girl and good job Momma! And how cute is she in her hat??😍❤️

We turn to the wolves to model our diets for our dogs. The Voyageur’s Wolf Project recently released new footage of wolves extensively eating BLUEBERRIES. In fact, blueberries made up 83% of their diet in the month of July. Momma wolves even fed these blueberries to their pups!

Dogs, just like wolves, are OMNIVORES. Dogs will thrive on eating plant foods. In fact, plant foods are where the healing comes in to turn around “disease.”

Thank you so much for finding this amazing footage ❤️❤️

When we feed our dogs, we look to the wolves for guidance. This new video shows wolves eating BLUEBERRIES and feeding them to their pups. Yes, dogs and wolves are omnivores! This is critical to understand so we can properly feed our doggies.

Meet Bandit🐾

Bandit is a 10 year old Sheltie who has been relatively healthy his entire life. Recently he has experienced nose changes as you can see in his pictures. His nose is very inflamed, red, and gooey. Due to the progression of the inflammation, Mom is worried his breathing will close off.

Mom elected to change Bandit’s diet. We made a plan for him to help his body stop the inflammatory response and begin detoxification.

He has been off of kibble for 11ish days. We took pictures so we can monitor his progress.

In one week, there has been a big change in redness and inflammation on his right side! The black pigment is returning on the outer ridge of his nose as well as under his right nostril. The puffiness is subsiding from both sides of the nose, and it appears the curvature on his left side is returning to normal. His fur is even growing back along the side of his nose❤️❤️

I can’t wait to see Bandit’s transformation! Congrats to his Mom and Dad for doing the work to help their boy recover.

If you have a dog with cancer or a similar diagnosis, I am happy to help you with your fur baby. Cancer is not a death sentence and neither is any other “disease”
