Signs That Our Pet May Not Be Totally Healthy

Although I am no expert, I have over the years noticed that there are a few simple signs that we can watch for to determine whether our pets are not 100% healthy. In addition, there are some simple signs we can look for to see if they are getting enough nutrition.

Of course, it goes without saying, these are not the end all and be all of signs and symptoms. There can be literally hundreds of symptoms and ultimately, the only way you can really identify problems is with the help of a veterinarian, preferably a holistic veterinarian.

Diet has the single most impact on health and well being. As a result, and as the title of these book suggests, pets need wholesome food also. Feeding a wholesome diet is foundation to helping our pets be as healthy as possible.

Toxic Body

  • excessive itching and scratching
  • skin is dark or darker
  • weak hind legs
  • hair loss

These symptoms generally speaking indicate that the kidneys are not able to keep up with all of the work. Therefore, toxins are eliminated through the skin. In the case of weak hind legs, this happens because there is pain or discomfort in the kidneys.

My suggestion is to begin a routine that supports the kidneys, liver and lymphatic system. Most people ignore the lymphatic system, but considering it takes the lymphatic system 24 hours to drain 1 inch (2.54 cm), it's advisable to give some extra help to the lymphatic system.

Most people ignore the color of the skin, but I have seen the color of the skin revert to a more natural color after the body has been given kidney support.

Pet GO used in combination with Rena GO is something I would suggest to help the body detoxify more efficiently.

Allergies

  • scratching around the eyes, behind the ears, based of the tail and stomach

You can help allergies by improving digestion, elimination of toxins and by using some simple allergy remedies.

Pet GO used in combination with Thyro GO and also some FloraZyme LP to help improve digestion can help the body recover faster from allergies.

Additional Signs

If you notice that your pet's energy, behaviour and overall demeanor changes then chances are that something is wrong.

It's never too late to begin helping your pet.

Become aware of your pet and any changes that may occur.

Notes About Liver Functions

The liver performs more metabolic functions than any other organ in the body. The liver is also a great storehouse for vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients.

Liver functions may be divided into three major categories:

  1. the vascular function of filtering and storing blood
  2. the metabolic function involved intimately with the majority of metabolic systems in the body
  3. the secretory and excretory functions responsible for forming the bile that flows from the liver and released in the gastrointestinal tract

The liver is considered the main organ of detoxification.

Chloe Is Doing Well — Thanks Jesse

2007-01-31

ChloeHi Jesse, you have helped me so much. Chloe has gained 4 lbs since I added the Thyro GO, Rena GO, Pet GO and the Vitamin C with rutin. She rarely gets diarrhea now. I hope you know how lucky I feel to have found you. Thanks for everything!

PS: Chloe was chosen to be an Ambassador for the Animal Adoption Center (a no kill shelter) and as of 1/15/2007 she is registered with Therapy Dog Inc.

Rocky's Comeback

2008-09-14

I took on a dog that was very, very skinny, extremely stressed, and sick with a major cold and diarrhea caused by an intestinal parasite that he picked up at an overcrowded animal shelter. That was August 22, 2008. He was only the second dog I've had, and I didn't feel all that equipped to handle him (I'm still learning!).

I was scared to death he was going to die on my watch. But I immediately ditched all commercially prepared food and started feeding him by hand, scrambled eggs, rice, and cheese. I started doing research and found your book, which I enjoyed and printed. I've employed its recipes (for the most part — I still have a cultural need to just sear the meat before serving, still mostly raw, and I still include rice), but the results have been phenomenal. I bought a $20 food chopper at Wal–Mart to chop the vegetables and the organ meats, and for most things it works just fine. I use cheese as training treats. And this was while he was on medication, which as we all know can hinder weight gain.

Now he's a happy bundle of energy, more than I can handle, actually. We go out for long, energetic walks and today I bought my first set of running shoes in over 15 years. We may wind up saving each other here!

Because of his poor health, I took pictures of him every day to examine his progress in detail to make sure I could tell for sure whether he was improving or getting worse. They wound up being great before and after testimonials for the power of healthy food for your dog. These pictures are only 10 days apart! Except for the last, which is 3 weeks from the first, I think. I'm allowing him to stay lean and energetic, and we're working on building up muscle.

Thank you for your very helpful website – Nancy

One Word — Fantastic

2005-08-15

We thought we would write to let you know how our cats are doing on the fresh food diet. In a word — fantastic! We have four feline companions in total, ranging in ages from 5 months to 9 years. All are healthy & full of vigour now. When they were eating canned and dry food they often had diarrhea (we fed vet recommended food), would throw up regularly after meals and had constant problems with hairballs (we brushed them a lot). All that is stopped now. One of our males, part Russian Blue, had recurring FUS (feline urological syndrome). With this natural way of feeding it has completely cleared up. Another remarkable thing is they almost never drink water now (we always leave fresh water out), all they need is provided in their food. We feel a lot better about feeding fresh meat and such rather than man made food with preservatives and chemical additives, etc. We want our cats with us for a long time and feel with this diet they will enjoy lengthy and healthy lives.

Thank you for introducing us to the feeding of fresh wholesome food the way Mother Nature intended. It did take a little while for them (and us) to get used to it, like asking kids not to eat junk food, but now they attack their meals with gusto! Thanks again.
