“A reminder to everyone again to be sure to implement a 90 day raw food program. The recent episodes of allergies and skin issues can be corrected if given enough time to reverse.

The accumulation in the body of unwanted poisons takes time to disseminate through the skin and internal organs. 30 days is normally not enough time to rid the body and can even make the skin conditions worsen. So be…

“Most of the pet population today has weakened kidneys and other vital organs that have been compromised from the continuous consumption of harmful contaminants. The mercury found in fish products, and the herbicide residues found in genetically modified foods used in dog and cat food are setting the stage for thousands of animals to die.

Healthy Dog Club

Here’s another danger that might surprise you! Just as dog owners often don’t realize their canine friends are too heavy, they may have a blind spot about another threat.
