3 Ways to NOT become your Vet’s Best Customer!

Want to see the vet for yearly check-ups only? Want to see a vital, healthy pet with boundless energy, great coat, clear skin, trim & toned, smells great and has every organ function perfectly? Countless people make monthly trips to their vet with their dogs or cats; without ever finding remedies, or even the cause of their pet’s chronic, sad health issues. Year after year, they might spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars for all kinds of ailments, ranging from skin and coat problems, allergies, to digestive disorders, ear and eye issues and a host of even more serious things like diabetes, tumors, pancreatitis, and arthritis. The solution to most of these problems is simple and cost effective.

For over twenty five years I have worked with owners to help achieve the right balance in their pet’s lives, and everyone who knows me; understands that I believe that food is the foundation of all life. If the food you are feeding your dog or cat is great; chances are you are one of the lucky ones making but one yearly trip to the vet! If there is anything that plagues your pet on a regular basis, I believe that there is nothing about the body that cannot be aided or improved when we provide the right nutritional support. I have been chanting the same mantra for years: “If I wouldn’t eat it, my pets would never get it.”

There is an enormous difference between what goes into pet foods and what is allowed in a human food or USDA approved kitchen. Pet food manufacturing plants are allowed to use things like 4-D meats, which mean animals that arrive at the slaughterhouse dead, diseased, dying or disabled. They’re also permitted to use just about anything that’s rejected for human consumption. Maybe it was dirty, rancid or fell on the floor. By-products are also permitted in pet feed plants and may be disguised by nicer sounding names like meat meal, chicken meal or poultry meal. Regardless of what they’re called, they still don’t meet standards for human consumption safety, and I would never use them or allow them in my own pet’s diet. On the flip side, wholesome, high quality fresh, human-grade ingredients, along with proper vitamin supplements can bolster your pet’s immune system and help you achieve the healthy pet of your dreams!

Let’s face it – we all think that we’re feeding the very best that there is, right? Perhaps your groomer, neighbor, or your veterinarian told you how well their own dog is doing on a particular food! Or maybe the advertising agencies have inundated you with TV spots that show a fabulously healthy dog, with a glowing great coat – running through the fields to get home in time for dinner. Oh, those crunchy, little faux meat-like looking things – yummy morsels filled with lots of who knows what, or how to even pronounce those words? Over the last two decades, it appears there have been many upgrades to the pet food industry. We have seen the emergence of the Raw Food Diets, the Holistic foods, the Natural brands, the Chubs, Grain Free; fat-free, breed specific; all of them canned, kibbled, baked or even freeze-dried. They all bear the label “complete and balanced”, but sadly it seems that not all that much has really changed beyond how those products are marketed. Just because a product falls under the “premium” category, or it’s labeled “all natural”, and is found in a boutique pet store, does not necessarily make it much better than its close cousin (often perceived as inferior) on the shelves of grocery stores and mass food merchandisers. They all say “complete and balanced”, so it must be fine. Right? Wrong!

You know that when you are eating healthfully yourself, you look and feel a whole lot better than when you are indulging in cookies, fried or fatty foods and snacks. So why don’t most people make the exact same correlation to their pets? Because no one is telling them that nine times out of ten, your pet is not a “lemon”, and was not just born with poor genes! Believe it or not, most pets can achieve great health when they are fed the right food that supports their body’s organs to function properly, and high quality, natural ingredients can pretty much guarantee their success. There is not a being on the planet that cannot benefit from eating higher quality food. There’s no mystery. It is perfectly logical and it’s time to make the change and I can help to even PROVE it to you quickly! Take me up on my 30-Day Healthy Pet Challenge yourself.
