- Dog Care, Dog Health and 
Dog Wellness Tips!

Dog care and dog health is a matter of concern to many dog owners.  Dog wellness and dog health depends on a number of things - your dog's diet, your dog's exercise regime, the manner in which you train your dog, your dog's grooming.  But no matter what aspects there are to dog health, your dog's holistic health, dog wellness and of course dog care is dependant upon YOU!

Natural health for dogs is gaining popularity, and rightly so.

For many, many years, the commercial dog food manufacturers have been getting away with far too much.  And they're not the only culprits that are contributing to the decline in dog health overall - over vaccination of pets is also contributing to a degree that may surprise you.

Let me ask you something - do you feed your dog commercial dogfood of any type?  Canned dog food or dry dog food, processed dog rolls, and so on.  Perhaps you have taken steps to feed what you believe is premium dog food - perhaps a brand of dogfood recommended by your pet shop, or even your vet?  A so-called premium dog food that probably costs a lot more than the dogfood on sale in your local supermarket?  Would it surprise you to learn that the premium dog food that your pet store or vet recommends is almost as bad, if not as bad, as the supermarket dog food brands?

The ideal diet for your dog is raw food.  Yes, raw meat as the main offering, as well as some raw vegetables and the odd serving of fruit, and perhaps a little boiled rice and some egg occasionally for good measure.  Do you know how much fresh, edible meat goes into those commercial dog foods (including the vast majority of the premium ones)?  Almost none.

That's right.  Most of what's in dog food is highly processed garbage cooked at high heat, and smothered with preservatives.  Is it any wonder that dogs are living shorter lives, and suffering from degenerative diseases - heart disease, cancer, liver disease and more.  Healthy dogs and commercial dog foods do NOT go together.  If dog health is your concern (as it should be), you should stop all commercial dog foods.

Back to your vet  for a minute - do you obediently take your dog in every year for your dog's vaccinations?  Big mistake.  Over-vaccinating is killing our dogs.  Vaccinations cause all sorts of insidious problems with our dogs' health - including immune system breakdown, Lyme's disease, allergies, Diabetes, cancer, and the list goes on.

There is absolutely no evidence that animals require annual vaccination booster shots at all.  There is no evidence that any good is achieved by this practise.  But there is mounting evidence that pet vaccinations build up in our dogs' systems and cause illness, disease, and even death.  And what's even more alarming, is that unless your vet is many years out of date with the medical research, your vet KNOWS that dog vaccinations are unnecessary after 1 year of age.  Yes, your vet knows it, but keeps on sending out annual reminders to all their pet owners to bring their pets in for annual shots.

Why?  Ask you vet.  You might find (as I did) that your vet preys on your desire to do the best for your dog's health, and doesn't trust you to bring your dog in for an annual general checkup (which IS very important), so thinks that the spectre of a so-called "required" pet vaccination will get you running down to your vet's surgery. 

So if you want to improve your dog's health and wellness - stop getting your adult dog vaccinated.  (N.B.  Please do NOT do this without discussing your decision first with your vet - puppies DO need to be vaccinated, and in some areas it is illegal not to vaccinate your dog).
