THE KEY TO GOOD HEALTH IS using food and whole plants, as opposed to isolated nutrients that are withdrawn from food. Dandelion is one of the examples from nature's arsenal of healing and cleansing plants. This is the reason why I included it in SoulFood, a certified organic multivitamin for dogs. DOGS HAVE A GENERAL tendency towards liver imbalance, and dandelion helps to continuously tune the liver as part of the semi-annual liver cleanse.

Here is a little update on how Pax is doing. Thank you so much for all the well-wishes .

FIRST AID FOR INSECT STINGS My little muffin got stung by an insect of some sort, a bee, wasp , or a centipede a his foot is pretty swollen and sore. Here is what I have done to help:... - Bandaged the foot and soaked the bandage with Skin Spray - wound and skin healing solution that reduces pain and swelling. I will repeat the spray several times a day. ( I have used this approach several times when I got stung and it work well). - Gave him triple dose of FeelGood Omega to reduce the inflammation - Homeopathic Apis 200C 1 dose every 6 hours - Tried cold compress but he didn’t like it - Took him to hang out in the garden to lift his spirit. I hope he will feel better soon. As we all know life happens even to the lucky pups who have someone to care for them. #insectstings #dogs #dogsofinstagram #skinspray

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

<< It's all in the eyes >> You might be worried about your dog's green eye discharge (aka eye boogers) but before you resort to antibiotics and steroids take a peek at this article. It may help clear your dog's eyes without taking extreme measures.

IMAGINE A BICYCLE FACTORY or car manufacturer that is missing parts for production. Every single part has its function, and we all know that a bike without a chain or spokes is a useless pile of metal. However, some people still do not fully understand how serious the problem of missing nutrients is in human and dog health. Mineral deficiencies are one of the primary causes of disease and premature aging because the body is designed to run metabolic cycles that depend on tra...ce minerals. How can you tell if your dog is depleted in nutrients? See the article below on why I do hair analysis for Pax and I and why it is one of the most accurate, reliable, and inexpensive ways to get info on how balanced and safe your dog's diet is.

Here is a Facebook Live on a difficult but important topic. I hope it will help mainly those of you who have a terminally ill and aging dog but also those who want to be there for friends and other dog lovers.

<< Have you done a HairQ lately? >> 'HairQ' is a test that offers a highly accurate insight into your dog's biochemistry and health (e.g. skin conditions, loss of hair, neurological diseases, such as epilepsy and so on). The part I love the most is that it is quick, and it does not require a blood collection or a vet visit!... P.S. Im offering HairQ for $30 off for a limited time.

DID YOU KNOW that hair testing is one of the least expensive and most accurate methods in detecting toxins and heavy metals in your dog's body? Many dogs are deficient in minerals, and most people are unaware that these deficiencies are the root cause of disease and a shortened life span. The irony is that everyone knows tomatoes need to be fertilized to be healthy but forget about how important essential nutrients are for other life forms, like dogs! The best way to see this... is to do a "before and after test." It takes about four months on average for the results of mineral supplementation to show. https://peterdobias.com/products/hairq-test P.S. For a limited time, you can get $30 off the HairQ test.
