Why is my pet overweight?

 Is your pet suffering with a weight issue ? It is not too late to address this. There are many dangers associated with having an overweight pet.

They might experience stress on their bones and joints,increased risk of diabetes, pancreatitis, fatty liver and possibly respiratory problems.

 One of the main reasons that weight control diets do not work for your pet is that many manufacturers have tried to create a product that will fill your pet with low calorie bulk and unnecessary nutrition. Your animal is a carnivore and must eat a diet that is in sync with his biological needs.

One of the main differences that must be noted is the large percentage of your pets calories are in the form of complex carbohydrates. These ingredients are in the form of corn, barley, wheat, rice and soy products.

There is no need in your pets diet for a diet of HIGH carbohydrates! The calories from carbohydrates are substituted in place of the necessary protein content found in that of  animal protein.

Let us help you find the correct raw or grain free diet for your dog or cat's needs.

We offer exotic meats catering to your pet's specific allergy needs!

Here is a list of a few of the many benefits you should notice within a few weeks of switching your pet over to a biologically approriate raw diet.

It is Flea Season Time!

Fleas are tiny, hard-shelled insects with incredible muscle power in their hind legs; they can jump 4-5 feet horizontally (or nearly a foot straight up).

Most chemicals kill only adult fleas or adults and larvae. That leaves thousands of little eggs and cocoons just ready to embark.

There are many ways to repel these nasty fleas with essential oils. These essential oils not only repel fleas but help soothe the skin if your pet is bitten by a flea.

We recommend all natural flea powders, all natural flea sprays and all natural flea collars.

Please know that chemical spot-on flea products contain powerful and potentially dangerous pesticides, and should be considered a last resort for animals with severe flea allergies.

These chemical products will transfer to human skin when your dog is brushed, hugged or just kissed. This can be dangerous to children as well as adults.

Chemical spot on treatments can cause severe adverse reactions in your pets which include excessive salivation, skin rashes,hyperactivity,seizures just to name a few.

We carry a wide assortment of all natural flea treatments. We do not sell any chemical products .

THE BENEFITS OF PROBIOTICS

Probiotics literally mean "life" or supporting life.

Probiotics work in conjunction with the immune system by producing special enzymes and other chemicals that support a healthy system. If your dog is on an antibiotic to kill the "bad bugs" your dog needs a probiotic to keep the "good guys" strong! Not only will it keep the "bad guys" like salmonella in check it will also change the way your dog breaks down his food and goes to the bathroom!

Your dogs inner nature is different from any other dog. This is also true of his digestive flora. Just think about it your dog wakes up, goes outside, eats something off the ground and bingo his beneficial microbes change from good to bad in minutes!

You must feed the good bacteria in your dogs intestines so that he will get the most out of his food.

This is where the "building of his immune system " comes into play.

There is a strong connection between imbalance in your dogs intestines and the following common health issues:

asthma, food allergies, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, and yes arthritis!

If your dog has any of the symptoms mentioned above then you need to write me back and let me assist you in finding the right probiotics for your dogs needs.

Probiotics are absolutely necessary to help:

1. manufacture B group vitamins, biotin and folic acid 2. reduce blood cholesterol levels 3. improve lactose intolerance 4. detoxify harmful chemicals (like the monthly "flea" chemicals " that your dog is on to prevent flea bites!) You will not hear me mention any brands of flea repellants in my blog other than "natural" ones to prevent fleas and ticks....(this subject will be in future blogs to come) 5. Remove toxins ingested through foods (pesticides and herbicides) 6. absorb nutrients, antioxidants and iron from your dogs diets 7. reduces inflammation 8. reduced food intolerances (For ex: gluten and lactose )

Just remember that a pet that has beneficial bacteria is better equipped to fight the growth of unhealthy organisms!!

Get that probiotic today and give your pet the health that he so deserves!

Do you know what green lipped mussel is good for?

Benefits to Green-Lipped Mussels:

The
mussels contain protein, carbohydrates, Omega-3 fatty acids and a high
...percentage of glycosaminoglycans, including glucosamine. The
glycosaminoglycans absorb water depositing it in the joints and
cartilage. This helps lubricate joints ending some of the pain and
deterioration that dogs feel as they age.

Canine Clear AllerQi by
Herbsmith naturally cools skin and is recommended for use in pets with seasonal allergies. An allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction to food, inhalant, or contact.
The body’s defenses are signaled into an overreaction to a particular
substance. This hypersensitivity often causes extreme heat in the
animal, seen as reddened skin, hot lesions, panting, restlessness
and skin that may be hot to the touch. Herbsmith Clear AllerQi has
Chinese herbs that cool heat and harmonize the body’s defenses to help
support normal skin functions.

Chinese Theory:
According to Chinese medical theory, the liver acts as a pump that
provides the smooth flow of energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), within
the body. When allergies lead to Liver Qi Stagnation, an imbalance
within the liver, the “pump” overheats and produces skin that may be hot
to the touch. The herbs in Herbsmith Clear AllerQi harmonize the liver
and clear this heat without hindering the dog’s overall vitality.
