Love Is Essential For A Healthy Pet

Dogs and cats deserve a wholesome raw meat diet

DR. Swift

I received my Bachelor's of Science in 1981 in Microbiology from the University of Florida and I am a 1985 graduate of the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. After four years of practicing conventional medicine, I realized that there was little that could be done to truly help those suffering from chronic diseases. I began to look beyond the box of my training and learned that through improved nutrition many of my patients were cured of chronic skin and digestive disorders. Unfortunately most of my clients were more interested in quick fixes. With growing frustration and dissatisfaction, I left my clinical practice in 1991 to commit myself entirely to holistic healing. Over the ensuing years, I have studied most of the alternative modalities to some extent. I utilize Classical Homeopathy, Homotoxicology and Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation as my primary modalities. In pursuing my education, I have studied with Lou Klein, Jeremy Sherr, Dr. Rajesh Shah, the Predictive School of Homeopathy, Dr. William Ingram and a variety of other teachers. I have been a member of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association and National Center for Homeopathy for many years.

On the personal side, I have a house call holistic veterinary practice in south Florida where I have lived since 1965. I also offer phone consultations to people and pets not in the local area. I am married and have four children. My wife, Lisa, and I are home schooling our three youngest children. Our eldest daughter is in college. I have written many articles and spoken countless times to a variety of groups on the topics of holistic health care and nutrition. I am continuously striving to improve my understanding of disease and health and how one becomes the other.

Be Well

The Results Have Been Amazing

2011-02-22

Thank you for this!!

I am a dog trainer and work for a dog grooming business. I have always known that a raw food diet is just plain common sense. I have convinced many pet owners to come over to the other side so to speak, and put their animal on a raw diet. The results have been amazing!!! Of course it has!

I went online to find a way to make your own raw pet food, and I was blessed to find your site. Many pet owners I deal with say they cannot afford the raw food offered on the market. You have put into print what I have been thinking and telling folks. But you have gone all the extra miles!!! Your book is extraordinary and genius!!! Believe me... common sense is genius when it come to understanding animals, their behavior, and their eating requirements. Common sense is rarely used these days in our society. Thank you for all your hard work. Your hard work just made my life and the lives of many pets easier. :) (grinning ear to ear and if I had a tail, it would be wagging viciously)

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.

What A Difference Your Diet Has Made!

2009-03-13

I just wanted to write and tell you what a difference this new diet has made in my dogs' over–all health. I am awe struck and I have only had them on it for about three weeks.

I have two Chihuahuas and a Sharpei mix. My Sharpei (Nelly) had skin problems or allergies, I think due to the dog food I was feeding her. I could run the sweeper three times a day and still have hair everywhere. I was seriously thinking of finding a new home for her. I work two jobs and have teenagers and not enough time to sweep constantly.

That's when I started searching for a new diet for the dogs. I came across this and started it right away. It doesn't really consume anymore of my time and I don't have to sweep everyday anymore! I just can't get over the difference in their coats. They are so shiny and healthy looking. Thank you so much Jesse!

I actually enjoy feeding time for them. They love it. Even the finicky Chihuahua! And another great part about this is that they don't poop near as much as they used to. I know that Nelly would go at least six times a day if not more. I have learned so much from your website. I have read a lot of books about feeding a raw diet and one would say do this and the other one say don't do that and back and forth but none of it worked out for us and none of it was as simple as this is!

I just can't thank you enough.
