Pet Health

This section of pet-grub.com deals with pet health. Here you will find articles that have been written by Dr. Russell Swift, DVM, Classical Homeopath, that will help educate you about natural health and nutrition for pets.

Dr. Swift has been kind enough to allow me to publish his pet health articles for your benefit. Dr. Swift has been practicing as a homeopathic veterinarian since the early 1990's.

I am also pleased to provide you with Dr. Swift's pet supplements. I first used Dr. Swift's pet supplements in 1994 and have always found them to be exceptionally beneficial. Not only will you find Dr. Swift's pet supplements beneficial, but you will also find his articles fascinating, extremely informative and very educational.

What I like about the following articles is that they will provide you with insight into how a homeopathic or holistic veterinarian sees things — how a homeopathic vet takes a different approach to the methods used by conventional veterinarians — how a holistic vet treats the whole body rather than just the symptoms...

Dr. Swift's article about Chronic Renal Failure is an excellent example of how a homeopathic vet treats an all too common problem differently to the alopathic (conventional) vet...

Dr. Swift's article about Holistic Healing: Commitment or Commodity? gives insight as to what makes a vet a true holistic vet — and what I like about this article is that it emphasizes what I've always told people which is that many vets say they are holistic just to get extra sales — and two simple ways to determine if a vet is truly holistic is whether or not they emphasize a homemade, raw meat diet and whether or not the vet vaccinates pets — why are these two factors so important in considering whether or not a vet is truly holistic? Well, keep these thoughts in your mind as you continue to read and the answer will become quite clear if it isn't already.

Sick Dog Becomes Healthy

2011-05-29

Thank you so very much for your on–line book. China, my 11 year old Shi–tzu has had food allergies for 9 years. I have spent thousands on diets and medicine but recently nothing worked. She was stinking like a cow pie under your nose even though I washed her twice a week with Rx shampoo. Her skin was hot to the touch and oily in just hours after a thorough bath not to mention the hair falling out all over. Anywhere the dog went she left her oily stink — the carpet, the furniture — it was a huge job just cleaning after her trying to keep the house smelling neutral. She was so miserable I considered putting her down as she couldn’t enjoy life and was a touch me not due to her allergies. I have spent countless hours searching for a way to feed my dog so as not to exacerbate her condition. One vet even suggested that she may be allergic to her own anal gland exudate!

Because of her allergies, I started her on just raw meat and warm water for one week and plan to add one ingredient a week until she is on a complete and healthy diet.

In just one week China is smelling and acting like her old self again. I am elated with the progress, I have seen in my dog, on your diet recommendations! China is even wagging her tail again! I can’t thank you enough for your on–line book — you have literally saved China’s life.

In Just 6 Days

Here’s our story.

We have 2 rescue Chihuahuas, one is a mix, we believe, with Jack Russell Terrier. His name is Lucky and he is approximately 8 years old. We rescued him 3 years ago. Our other little guy is Chico and he is about 2-3 years old. We rescued him November, 2008 and they said he was 2 but we think he was younger, just looked older and acted older because he was undernourished. We have been feeding NutroMax and Iams dog foods, which we believed were on the better side of commercial grade pet food.

Lucky has lost some teeth and recently developed allergies with wheezing and coughing. The vet gave us 2 medicines for him to give twice a day. On Saturday, May 29, 2010, he came to his breakfast, sniffed the food, shook and shuddered and walked away. I thought that was weird!, but when he gets hungry he will eat. Saturday night he did the same thing and also Sunday morning. By now my husband, Robert, and I are getting a little concerned. Lucky is a little chunky, but not obese, so missing a few meals probably wouldn’t hurt him as long as he was drinking his water, which he was. Well I tried giving him the canned food, which he ate for a couple of meals and then did the same thing as he did with the dry. Sniffed, shuddered and walked away. Well, for a week I tried several things, canned chicken, cut up chicken (sautéed) and then on Friday, June 4, 2010, I started searching the internet for homemade pet food. Praise the Lord! I found your website. I immediately switched both dogs to raw food on Saturday morning. I happened to have thawed a chicken breast, cut it into small pieces and they both chowed down!

Saturday I bought some ground meat, turkey and some beef (lean), and have been feeding them both raw meat mixed with some chopped frozen veggies ever since. The immediate improvement (within 6 days) in both dogs has been just short of miraculous. Lucky is not wheezing and is back to his old bouncy self. He gets the bounce from the Jack Russell side of his family. He hasn’t had his meds since he quit eating because we thought they might have been part of the problem. Chico is more relaxed and not as fearful, which is a strange benefit, but I’m loving it. We believe he was quite abused in his former life and even after being with us for 1-1/2 years still acted fearful. Both their coats are smoother already and their bowel movements are much better, still firm, but not hard. Believe it or not they are even getting along better with each other. I guess just generally feeling better overall.

I am so excited about their new diet, oops, new life style change, and am telling everyone about it and giving them your web site info and a copy of the condensed version of your book.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being there when we needed you.

God bless you and keep up the good work taking care of His creation that give us so much love. And isn’t love the key to everything?
