Diving into Raw Feeding: A Natural Path to Pet Wellness

Exploring raw feeding for your pets is more than just a diet choice—it's a commitment to a healthier, more natural lifestyle. When done right, a well-planned raw diet of meat, bones, organs, and veggies can work wonders.

But it’s important to approach raw feeding with care:

✅ Holistic Support: Partner with a vet who understands raw feeding.
✅ Diet Diversity: Vary meats to mimic wild prey nutrients.
✅ Balance is Key: Pay attention to calcium-to-phosphorus ratios.
✅ Digestive Adjustments: Ease the transition with enzymes or light cooking.
✅ Supplementation: Consider adding probiotics, omega fatty acids, and vitamins.
✅ Incorporating Veggies: Green leafy veggies can balance fat and protein levels.
✅ Tailored Diets: Customize for specific health needs, from puppies to seniors.

Raw feeding isn’t just about food—it’s about nurturing a lifestyle that promotes optimal health and wellness for your pets.

🚨 Xylitol: A Hidden Danger for Dogs

Even small amounts of xylitol (also known as birch sugar) can be life-threatening to dogs, causing hypoglycemia, seizures, liver failure, or even death. This sweetener is lurking in many everyday products like toothpaste, candy, cough drops, and more.

If your dog ingests xylitol, get them to the vet immediately for a glutathione injection to counteract the effects. Remember, prevention is key—keep all products containing xylitol out of reach!

Apoquel is awful stuff… I mean, why?? It is the pharmaceutical industry’s quick fix for allergies, inflammation, itching and redness! I’m sure it’s just magic! What could go wrong?! 🫣

DOES APOQUEL AGGRAVATE CANCERS? THE WEBSITE SAYS SO...
Did you enjoy last night's RPM on tick adherence, times to bite and time to transmission of various infections?! I certainly did, particularly the stuff on chemical spot-ons.

My God, the level of side effects (more likely than not, that statement alone...) and the fact that those side effects are never, ever discussed with the pet owners in clinic is truly worrying.

Dr Victoria was great. Soon, it's hoped, we'll get her back to talk about Apoquel, based on something she casually said in Patreon (the extra 15-20mins we do for folk that donate to the show).

Here's the low down - our T cells are a vital component of our immune system. They attack pathogens and constantly scrutinize and destroy tumour cells.

Very handy, we're all agreed.

Apoquel, for inflamed dogs, works by reducing their T-cell response.

And it does work to relieve itch, no doubt. The problem we this side of the fence (folk with questions) have is that, aside product safety, what is the CAUSE of that itch. As conventional vets never seem to realise it's usually kibble / gut / gut flora / yeast related, the worry is that this powerful drug becomes a FIRST response as opposed to a last.

Because there are obviously side effects to immune suppression.

By decreasing your pets system's ability to neutralise cancer, many vets, specifically dermatologists, are concerned by the increasing levels of cancers they have observed in animals on the drug, that Apoquel (and drugs like it) may be fuelling this cancer growth (just may not necessarily INITIATE it).

Side effects listed on the product insert include "vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, anorexia, dermal masses (unspecified), decreased leukocytes, decreased globulins, and increased cholesterol and lipase. Low numbers of dogs in the studies developed demodicosis, NEOPLASIA, pneumonia, bloody diarrhoea, skin and ear infections, UTIs, and histiocytomas".

In fact, the Apoquel website states

"Apoquel may increase the chances of developing serious infections, and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to get worse."

So what do you know about Apoquel and its cousin, Cytopoint, the cruxes of the atopic response by the conventional veterinary sector?

About as much as me I bet. So we'll be scheduling a show on them soon. As ever, any dirt you have, you know where to find me. In the meantime, I went looking for some. Every single vet website that discusses the drug mentions the fact there is a study showing it DOES NOT cause cancer.

This study was produced by Zoetis, the charming multi-billion manufacturer of said medication.

So rest assured!!

That's Zoetis, with 1.4/5 stars on TrustPilot.

That's Zoetis, manufacturers of other drugs like Librela which are currently under investigation for (potentially) causing more harm than good, fuelled by a 2024 article in the Wall Street Journal article titled “What Killed Their Pets? Owners Blame Meds, but Vets Aren’t Sure". The article states "Health regulators in the U.S. and Europe have received thousands of reports of side effects and are currently conducting reviews".

That's Zoetis, currently under investigation by EU antitrust regulators as it (may have) blocked the market launch of a rival pain medicine for dogs, a move that could result in a hefty fine for the U.S. pet products maker.

Sure why wouldn't you trust a little study they produce that supports their main cash cow.

The fact that study is enough for the entire veterinary profession to turn off their radars and keep on recommending this drug, sort of tells you where we are.

Let's talk BONES! There are a variety of ways to help keep your dogs teeth clean and gums healthy 🦷 Bones are my favourite way (natures toothbrush!) but did you know that there are different bones for different purposes, and that only some bones are safe?

🦆 Edible bones (like duck wings, chicken necks and feet) are meant to be consumed entirely. They are typically softer and provide nutritional benefits such as calcium and phosphorus. However, they are not as good for dental care for medium and large dogs.

🦴 Recreational bones (beef rib bones and lamb shanks) are primarily for gnawing and entertainment rather than consumption. They are great for dental and mental health!

❗️ AVOID large marrow bones and ALL cooked and smoked bones to prevent dental fractures and possible gut obstruction!

FRESH PET IS NOT RAW!!!!! OR HEALTHY!

It’s just overpriced canned food. It’s highly processed, with fillers and carbohydrates, with many recalls for mold contamination. It’s no better than canned food, but it’s considerably more expensive.

If you’re going to spend more on food, buy a formulated, balanced, frozen raw food.

🦠INFLAMMATION CAUSES DISEASE 🦠

Do YOU know what causes chronic inflammation?? Want to guess?? Think your dog isn’t living with constant inflammation??

Do you feed bagged kibble?? ✅
Do you routinely vaccinate?? ✅
Do your dogs have bad teeth?? ✅
Do you routinely administer steroids?? ✅
Has your dog been on routine antibiotics??✅

Any or ALL… create chronic inflammation.

Traditionally spayed and neutered dogs have drastically elevated LH (luteinizing hormone) levels which leads to inflammation, behavioural changes (like increased fear and aggression), and even cancer.

Dr. Michelle Kutzler’s groundbreaking research highlights the importance of hormone-sparing sterilization, where we remove the ability for dogs to reproduce and prevent homelessness while protecting their health and longevity. Check it out - link in bio 🐾
