Hello ~

First, I apologize in a less than personal format. It has become virtually impossible to answer each email individually because of the large numbers I receive from this website. Therefore I am trying to get you some help in kind of an online "crash course" to solving your pet's problem, or answering your questions regarding health issues or pet nutrition.

Forgive me for having to use this method, but due to the high volume use of this website and the multitude of growth, orthopedic and allergy problems among our companion animals, I have no choice but to get you directed information this way. So, let's get started......

Far too often I am the last resort for many pet owners, and in most cases, I can help you. So, be patient and check the information and links I recommend and we can get your beloved pet back on track. This is the list of things I will cover in this letter.

Allergies / Skin Problems

This is my personal observations ~after answering many emails a day for help. Dogs with skin and allergy problems are often fed the following foods. This is not to say these caused the problem, there are other factors to consider, I just think this is an interesting observation that these names keep coming up when animals have allergies.

Iams
Science Diet
Pedigree
Benefil
Ole Roy
Grocery store brand foods
other

Looking For A Better Brand of Dog Food?

If you are just looking for a better dog food go here: List of Better Holistic Pet Foods

My first choice in dog and cat foods is the Eagle Pack Holistic line of dog and cat foods - kibble and canned. There is more info in detail in each feed programs. Here is the link to Eagle Holistic Pet Food ,website so you can read about the company and foods available.

Click Here: Which EAGLE PACK Food Do I Choose to Use For My Pet?

Here is the link to locate it in your area: Where To Find Eagle.

Eagle is not always available in some areas, see List of Better Holistic Pet Foods . Wellness is not a bad choice and Blue Buffalo is at some Petsmarts. Again NOTHING works better for correcting problems as the Eagle Holistic line of pet products, but if you can't get it within 25 miles you may have to go with something else or have Eagle mail the food to you directly. You can call and ask for information at 800-255-5959

Overseas Feed Programs

For those living overseas and having problems with no access to quality pet foods, please go read my Feed Programs for Overseas or Feed Program for the United Kingdom.

Where to Locate A Good Feed Program for Your Pet:

Click on ARTICLES - it will take you to the index page and Feed Programs.

These are comprehensive feed programs for all ages, breed sizes, and health problems, including one for cats.

NONE of the supplements I am recommending in my feed programs should conflict with any of the medicines your pet may be on because the supplements I suggest are not chemicals, but natural substances derived from human "functional" foods.

I do not recommend using your current supplement routine along with the supplements I suggest, it can be too much or unbalance a diet.

These feed programs are comprehensive and suitable for the life of the animal.

Help, My Dog Has Growth Problems

For those of you with large/giant breeds and growth problems you need to read follow the Blackwatch Feed Program for Large/Giant Breed Puppies. and Puppy Guidelines

In addition, your pet's growth problem could be due to a reaction to vaccines or antibiotics. In this situation you need to read a couple more articles 1) A Guide To Recognizing Bone Diseases. 2) And Gettin Help With HOD and HOD Feed Program

Help, My Pet Has Seizures

It is my experience that seizures can be caused by many things: injury, diet, over vaccination, toxins in the body, genetics, environmental - exposure to chemicals, used on grasses, farm lands, cleaning agents in the home etc.

My recommendation is to first have a thyroid test done - T3 and T4 - and if the results says even a low normal, you still treat with daily medication. Many thyroid cases are prone to seizures and also have serious skin problems (see info below).

Next I would switch to a better diet - Feed Program for Seizures - a comprehensive program,

It will take a month at least to get all this working so you may not see any results for 30 days but some have seen differences within 7 - 14 days. It is well worth the try. Several have had great success with this in lessening the seizures and some have stopped completely. Continue with your medicine from the vet, but when and if there are changes in amount and severity of seizures, consult the vet about reducing or eliminating the medicine for these seizures.

Allergies - Skin Problems - Shedding, Itchy, Ear Infections, Chewing

For those of you experiencing any problems related to allergies or skin issues, I will give this information to you so you can get started on addressing this problem. I know most of you have spent so much money trying to get at the bottom of this problem and you are frustrated beyond belief, but I guarantee you most of the time the real problem is over looked by your vet and you are simply sent home with a "Band-Aid" and a big bill. Why not try another approach, you have nothing to lose and your pet has much to gain and we have a good success rate treating these problems with a better comprehensive diet and some supplements. We treat this from the inside out - detoxifying the body, boosting the immune system and supporting the body with a good diet.

Remember - The skin is the biggest filter organ on the body, remember all the toxins in the body must come out through the body's mucus membranes, stool/urine and skin. Those toxins are highly acidic and cause your pet to itch, scratch, chew and be perfectly miserable.

This is what you must do to get to the bottom of this problem of allergies or skin issues.

Feed Program For Systemic Yeast

A Mini-Course in Understanding Systemic Yeast Problems

These articles will help educate you about this problem and get this poor animal turned around. Please be patient and understand when the pet is detoxifying during the fungus die-off period (first 2 weeks), they may get worse before better. It may mean frequent bathing with a baking soda rinse and the use of a little steroids to keep them comfortable until the detox period passes. It took some time to get the pet in this condition and it will take some time to turn around, but it will turn around and your pet will be comfortable again.

The detox period may mean more itching or even lethargy or nausea. This is the same for people too. Yes, systemic yeast problems are enormous problems for humans, and the same Yeast Removal Kit and a change in your diet can rid you of this problem. There is info in the article above about how this affects humans.

I hope this information well help you find some answers. Most people find my website and feed programs to be an answer to a prayer, so please take the time to examine it carefully. Again I apologize for this mass mailing, but I have not other way to assist at this time and do so in an expedient manner.

For those living overseas and having problems with no access to quality pet foods, please go read my Feed Programs for Overseas or Feed Program for the United Kingdom.
