Dog Food for Diabetes Has the Potential to Cure

Raymond — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:58:40 +0000

It’s a heart rendering time if your dog has been diagnosed with diabetes. Quite apart from the added burden of the extra veterinary costs, which you may be able to ill afford, what about the cost to your dog?Is the quality of his life going to deteriorate? How is he going to cope with regular injections of insulin, if he needs them? Most dogs despise drugs and medication and will often fight you when you try to dose them. Are you going to have distress with this? Are you going to get hurt, as well as your dog and your wallet?You might be asking yourself if you could have prevented this from happening, although the vet probably told you that its a common occurrence these days. Yes, it is common these days. And yes, you probably could have prevented it. While doctors and veterinarians have been trained to match particular medication with a disease, homeopaths have been trained to look for causes. So while the medication may help to stabilise your dog’s diabetes, it’s unlikely to cure it. But if you can get to the cause, and address that, you may well be able to cure your dog’s diabetes. Your journey to success has already started with your search for dog food for diabetes. One of the main causes of diabetes in dogs is the food you feed him. Most commercial dog food (included that promoted by most vets) is made up of about 30% low grade meat by-products (from rendering plants which take in slaughter house waste, euthanised animals, road kill, etc), about 65% filler (which can vary from a high stout content, to melamine from China, to a cheap food because of a world glut), and the balance being synthetic nutrients (which are hard if not impossible to digest), toxic preservatives (mostly not considered fit for human consumption), appetite stimulants and artificial colour. Some commercial dog food has better quality of meat, beyond by-products. But it still contains cheap filler and toxic preservatives, despite the claim on the packet. As there has been a world glut of sugar, this is often used as a filler. Do you reckon sugar is a suitable dog food for diabetes?Do you reckon any of the above constitutes suitable dog food for diabetes or any other health condition? Does it sound like suitable dog food, period?Dogs evolved over many millions of year, as an omnivore, but at the carnivore end. This means dogs can survive on a vegetarian diet, but it isn’t normal. They are natural hunters. And while they do scavenge, so can eat carrion, their main diet is fresh, raw meat. Holistic veterinarians have learned that chronic disease normally melts away when dogs are fed on a diet of fresh, raw meat and bones. By providing quality dog food for diabetes, based on the dogs evolution, the potential is there for a complete cure. Not only is this more beneficial for your dog’s health, it is a fantastic deal lighter on your wallet. Quite apart from the high veterinary costs, feeding raw food is cheaper than feeding commercial dog food. And you’re a lot safer too, not running the risk of getting bitten. Dog food for diabetes, or any other condition, needs to be based on what dogs eat in the wild.

How to Choose the Correct Size Dog Carrier

Raymond — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:25:14 +0000

One of the most well loved questions I get is how to choose the right sized dog carrier. Below are some questions to question yourself before looking for a dog carrier:

Dog Weight:Most dog carriers are excellent for dogs up to 12 pounds. After that, you may want to reckon if you really want to be carrying around a 12 pound plus dog. If so, I would look into a wheeled dog carrier or another type of carrier besides one that hangs on your shoulder. The weight on every carrier is different, so please check. If it does not say in the description, don’t be worried to question. If you have a very tiny dog, such as a dog less than 4 pounds, you should be able to choose any dog carrier there is. Dog Length:It is vital to give your dog enough room to go and feel comfortable in the carrier. But at the same time you don’t want it to be too large that every time they go, they are tilting and off-setting the carrier. The best thing to do is measure your dog and add a few inches to get the right size dog carrier. If the carrier you are interested in has a place where the head sticks out, you will not need as huge of a carrier than if you were picking a carrier that is enclosed. Carrier Purpose:Are you looking for a carrier to just take your dog to the veterinarian’s office or are you looking for a carrier to take your dog into stores with you? The purpose of your carrier will affect the price that you have to pay. If you are looking for a simpler carrier that can show your dog you will be able to find many lower cost options. If you are looking for a dog carrier that will hide your dog you will be spending more money. This is due to the extra materials needed to make it more like a purse than a carrier.

Dog Training – Ear Infections

Raymond — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:37:46 +0000

Dog ear infections are common in dogs and other pets alike, these infections can be caused by numerous situations and causes but as your pet relies heavily on their hearing it can be extremely annoying for them as well as soar and painful.

The shape of a dog’s inner ear is the cause for many of the different ear infections due to it being able to collect moisture from playing around water or in rain, ear wax, dirt and unclean debris, and unwanted parasites.

To identify and determine whether your dog has an ear infection or ear related condition, you will have to study your dog’s behaviour. Common ear infection activities include, rubbing their heads and ears against objects in your house like sofas and tables in order to stop the irritating ear, tilting of the head, and a red looking, soar, foul smelling ear with possible discharge.

To start you should take your pet to a vet to properly diagnose the infection that has occurred they will then probably issue you with medication or need to have the dog sedated in order to clean out the foreign debris. This process can be a hard one for a vet and may have complications in finding the right medication.

Dog ear infections that are diagnosed correctly can more than likely be cured, but taking your dog to the vet is crucial, without this step you will be putting your dog through more pain and it will take longer to become better.

To give your dog the prescribed medication you will need to raise the dog’s ear and apply the medication to the vertical part of the ear so it can seep down into the right area of the dog’s ear. Then holding the base of the ear flap with your finger and thumb massage the ear canal and you will hear a squishing sound to note that the medication is in the right area, then clean the outside and around the ear with alcohol to stop further dirt from getting into the ear to complete the process.
