Lets face it, in todays world none of us are healthy. The foods we eat, the air we breathe and the medicines we all take are quite frankly, poisoning us!!
We as humans have a choice in what we eat and what type of medicines to avoid, however our furry friends that we chose to domesticate aren't afforded any choices. They look to us to supply them with the most well balanced and nutritious foods that we can find.
We have all been raised to believe what we read on a bag of dog food, if it says its good for them, we just assume they are the manufacturers and they know what they are talking about. NOT SO!!!
I too bought in to all the hype about which food was best, I wanted desperately to be the best parent to my animals and give them nothing but the best food and vet care that I could. I would not let money be an object in my way of providing all that is good for my gang, I took them in and by God's graces and wisdom, I was going to do right by them!!
I cannot tell you how many times I have switched Dog food and Vets because my kids were just not healthy. Sure they ran around , played hard and loved even harder, but they caught every bug that came along, had skin problems, ear infections, eye infections, bad hips, knees and my old kids had arthritis so bad that they had to take pain meds daily. How could this all be happening?? I had bought the best Dog Food money could buy, we went to top Vet's, even went to some of the Top Veterinarian State Colleges, and those guys really know their stuff. Well they do, and my choices of dog food was as good as I could get, but up until a couple of years ago, I was missing the big picture.
It seemed everytime we won a battle with traditional medicine something else popped up, it was a vicious cycle and at one point I thought my house was poisoning my animals. Now mind you, my house is not clean by any means, I live with several animals, but it is not filthy either, there is no feces, or dirty blankets. I mopped daily and bleached weekly, the kids all got regular baths, nothing was working.
Out of complete frustration, and a little convincing from our stray girl Shelby, I started studying alternative ways to help my guys. It's been a long slow process to try and grasp it all and trust me I learn new things everyday. It has become a real eye opener and a type of addiction to me to learn all I can about just how UNHEALTHY we all are and ways I can change it.
Finally, I had done something right by my kids, their coats are shiny, teeth are pearly white, no bad breath, poo looks good, no coughs or runny eyes and no more pain medicine or antibiotics in my house YAY!!!
I still have 3 wonderful Vets that know a whole lot more than me and they don't always agree with my approaches, but I have gained their respect by introducing them to some of my own natural defenses for the dogs and they are seeing the results loud and clear. They even pass my name and number to some of their clients so I can share some of what I've learned with them and make their furry buddies as healthy as they can be.
In the columm to the left, I will be adding new finds often. We will be adding some very important herbs, minerals, tinctures, and home remedies that we use on our Bullies daily, for you to study and find on your own or you may purchase them through us. I am now very much into the holistic approach to make our kids the healthiest they can be for generations to come with awesome results.
Check back often for new additions of the medicines our Lord has provided for us and our furry pals.
Ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee.
~Job 12:7
