“A TV comedian joked, ‘Who would want a cat? They eat breakfast and spend the rest of the day throwing up,’” said Julia. “But it is no joke! As a Classical Homeopath and Clinical Pet Nutritionist I know that an animal or human who eats then feels ill, is eating unfit food. I have witnessed the benefits
of ‘real food’ for my pets. After, I adopted a three month-old puppy, Kody, he was a lethargic-furry lump with a green-snot nose.
One day, I walked passed a homeopathic veterinary clinic with the sign, ‘Feed Your Dogs Raw Food’. I intuitively knew that I had stumbled onto the answer to my puppy’s health and a new career.
As soon as I switched Kody from bagged/canned puppy food to raw, he transformed from a little blah-blob to an energetic healthy puppy. It was unbelievable how fast it happened!
My cat was having urinary tract crystals, until I too switch him to a raw diet.
Since the switch, none of my pets have suffered from alopecia (fur loss), arthritis, digestive problems or diabetes. I was hooked and studied everything I could to help animals live longer and healthier lives.
I've seen pets switched to raw foods blood work and health progression, documented by their veterinarians, dramatically improve.
Cats chronically vomiting is stopped once on a raw diet. All my diabetic cat patients reversed their illness and most of the dogs have gone off or reduced their insulin.
Just like human food, manufactured pet food has hidden sugar.
The definition of animal byproducts seen on pet food labels is: euthanized animals, horse, fur, animals who died from unnatural causes/diseased.
When I see chicken byproducts, I know that it means a combination of disturbing mystery ingredients.
These cleverly disguised ingredients along with low quality processed grains, preservatives, coloring or taste-enhancing chemicals explain why so many animals have allergies - when you have no control of what comes out of the bag, no matter how much you paid for it, you continue paying at a vet’s clinic to ‘fix’ the problem!
Feeding your pets a chicken breast from your kitchen is different than feeding them a combination of chicken feet, feathers and toxic chemicals used to euthanize animals.
Once my clients realize that there is something they can do to help the animals they love, they think twice about putting ‘mystery food’ into their dish.
Raw food is not considered a fad anymore. Pet stores are offering frozen raw foods because customers are demanding it.
If you don’t have access to raw food, then purr-chase the meat at a butcher shop and vegetables at the grocery store. Make a batch and freeze it for convenience. To avoid nutritional deficiencies, consult with a professional about balancing it correctly.
My dog, Rowan, is a harlequin colored Beauceron. This breed needs a job to do and their high energy requires a lot of exercise. I work from home so Rowan accompanies me when I teach pet health through their food. She is a living example of the food’s success and our blog’s raw-k star!
Rowan hails from one of the smartest breeds, she is quick to learn.
Since the age of four months, she’s being training to scent track for professional competitions. Once a dog learns to use their nose, you can modify their training to anything; missing persons, drugs, bed bugs, mold, etc.
Rowan’s watches me practice Yoga and copies me by purr-forming her own style of Dog-ma.
When we have visitors, or not, she insists on grabbing your attention by walking up behind you, then threading her head between your legs, and then looks up at you with her big smiling eyes. It is joyful having a healthy loving pet.”
