MicroRNA: Why Food Choices Matter
MicroRNA: Why Food Choices Matter
Food is Not Simply Nutrition. It is also Information!
The single greatest disserve to our pets was the invention of commercial pet food and the demolition of their ancestral roots. Following at a close second was the increased belief in the need for unnecessary conventional veterinary practices and intervention along with the creation and extensive distribution of chemical “preventatives.” It is…

HELP! My Dog is Lost!
HELP! My Dog is Lost!
If the unthinkable happens, be prepared!
Probably one of the most dreaded fears we as pet parents can face is when a beloved pet goes missing. The likelihood of a dog escaping, evading, or eluding us and running off at least once in their lifetime is very high. Thankfully, in most of those instances a pet parent will see their tongue lolling faces in a matter of seconds, minutes, or hours as…

Cartilage Is A Nutritional Goldmine
Cartilage Is A Nutritional Goldmine
The Importance of Cartilage in the Canine (and Feline) Diet
Cartilage is made up of highly specialized cells and a matrix of proteins. It is more matrix than cells because cartilage does not contain blood vessels to receive oxygen which creates a low-oxygen tissue that is not an ideal environment for cells. The matrix of cartilage is made up of proteins known as collagen and proteoglycans as…

Ten Facets of Canine Health
Ten Facets of Canine Health
A guide to cultivating optimal canine health
Naturopathic medicine recognizes several “doctors” that are vital for health. These “doctors” (also known as needs) are what I have coined facets of health. When it comes to both our health needs and the health needs of our dogs, there are specific requirements that are essential for the prevention of disease. These requirements contribute to the…

Can You Really Detox Your Dog?
Can You Really Detox Your Dog?
Detoxification is not only NOT a myth, it is essential to health!
Several years ago, The Guardian published an article entitled “You Can’t Detox Your Body. It’s a Myth. So How Do You Get Healthy?[1]” The article, unfortunately, grossly misrepresented the physiological process of detoxification and the strategies that can be taken to improve and support the natural detox pathways. The truth is…

When Canine Cancer Strikes
When Canine Cancer Strikes
An Experience with Thyroid Cancer
One year ago this month my beloved Siberian Husky, Damon (who is also the face of The Holistic Canine), was informally diagnosed with thyroid cancer. His thick and luxurious Siberian coat had hidden a growth that I did not notice until one day last October 2018. I was sitting on my bedroom floor tending to one of our Pitskies when Damon nudged me for some…

Raw Food Sourcing Difficulties
Raw Food Sourcing Difficulties
What you need to know
Sourcing is often the most difficult aspect of raw feeding. Quality and affordability are generally the two most important factors and considerations when searching for nourishing ingredients that will be used to fulfill your dog’s energy and nutritional requirements. I place quality at the top of my list while affordability is often a necessity rather than a choice.

Creating a nutrient balanced meal with a “better” ratio
Let’s talk ratios. Ratios provide a super simple outline or guideline for feeding our dogs species-appropriate foods. The most common ratio is still 80/10/10. What that means is…

10% organs (secreting)

Simple, right?! The problem with the above ratio is that many pet parents, and especially those new to raw feeding, do…

When Raw Feeding Should Not Be Taken Too Literally
When Raw Feeding Should Not Be Taken Too Literally
Did I get your attention? Good! There is raw feeding purism and then there is raw feeding done correctly and safely. The truth is, not all foods should be fed raw. While meat, organs, bones, and eggs should be fed raw, foods such as fish, shellfish, and most vegetables should not. In this article we will take a closer look why this is true.
