A Dog With A Lesson To Teach

March 9, 2016March 9, 2016 Healthy Dog Club

By Robert Mueller It is so touching when I receive testimonials from my clients. Not only is it refreshing to hear a client’s story on their experience with raw diets, but I am able to hear how I have changed the life of their pet’s. This customer takes me through her experience with raw diet from the very beginning. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” as the saying goes. Well, I see it, but I can hardly believe it. Bella, a Labrador retriever mix who was 13 years old on February 13, has been part…

What’s Really Causing Those Allergies?

January 15, 2016January 15, 2016 Healthy Dog Club

Ask An Expert By Robert Mueller Pet allergies can cause discomfort Sometimes the simplest answers are the most remarkable. For example, we often resort to treating an allergic reaction in an animal by applying what I call “band-aid” fixes. That is, we try to mask the symptoms rather than targeting the core problem, which can often be found in the immune system. Focusing on the immune system is by far the most “advanced” medical approach known to man today. The explanation is simple…strengthen the immune system, and you have targeted…

How to Prepare Your Pet For The New Arrival

January 12, 2016January 12, 2016 Healthy Dog Club

By Dr. Karen Becker For many couples, their dog or cat is the first ‘baby’ in the family. Then one day a human baby arrives on the scene, and the family dynamic changes. Getting your dog ready for the new baby is important. This is often not a happy state of affairs for the furry, four-legged kid in the household. In order to help your dog or cat make a smooth transition from ‘only child’ to the new family, a good deal of pre-baby planning and preparation is necessary. The…

Best supplement for dogs: Cod liver oil

October 9, 2015October 9, 2015 Healthy Dog Club

After having fed my dogs raw diet for some time now it’s funny just how many parallels there are between nutrition for dogs and nutrition for humans. This is particularly true when it comes to healthy oils. Consider these parallels: The same refined vegetable oils that cause problems for humans also cause problems for dogs. Just like humans, pets cannot manufacture the essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-6s and omega-3s and must get them from their diet. Just like humans, pets need a balance of omega-3s to omega-6s for good health. Too…

Want to feed raw food?

October 8, 2015October 8, 2015 Healthy Dog Club

Manufacturing and feeding raw diets for over four decades has enabled me to see pets of all sizes and shapes in both excellent and declining health. I have seen animals in radiant health that have been raised and maintained for a lifetime on raw food, compared to the poor health of those fed a dry, heat processed food diet. The majority of our new customers contact us because their dogs are suffering from some sort of medical condition. We hear about the physical problems such as, organ function, heart malfunction,…

Does your pet suffer from kidney disease?

September 24, 2015October 8, 2015 Healthy Dog Club

By Monica Samson, One of the questions we ask our new clients is how they hear about us. Many of them find us by doing research – mostly online – for natural and effective ways to help improve their pet’s current health problems. Allergies, digestion, arthritis and cancer – these are all pethealth problems that pet owners are faced with on a regular basis (and it’s interesting to note that humans also suffer from these same maladies). One health problem that comes up quite often is canine kidney disease. What…

What meaning do enzymes have for your dog?

July 6, 2015July 7, 2015 Healthy Dog Club

Cooking at temperatures above 118F destroys the naturally occurring enzymes in food. This means your dog’s body has to produce all of the enzymes necessary to digest the food and sooner or later, this limited supply will be used up. Enzymes are responsible for every metabolic reaction that takes place in your body, whether it is the blinking of your eye or the functioning of your liver. Of course, the same applies to your dog’s body. What Are Digestive Enzymes? The body also uses enzymes to digest and use food.…
