以下“我”均指“安东尼威廉”：

宠物可以带给我们许多欢乐和陪伴，我们也希望为它们提供最好的照顾。不幸的是，就像人类一样，我们的宠物一生中也会遇到许多健康问题。无论宠物面对的是神经系统疾病、神经系统或免疫系统问题，硬化症、甲状腺疾病、癌症、慢性尿路感染，脂质瘤、过敏、化脓性皮炎、牙齿问题、口臭或任何类型健康问题，我们可以采取一些步骤帮助其改善，使其成为健康的动物。许多人将宠物视为家庭的一部分，并且会为动物尽其所能。

本文将介绍宠物遇到的常见健康问题、一些有帮助的食物和补充剂建议，并简要介绍一下我如何给我家的宠物提供支持和护理。

一．兽医支持

作为宠物主人，需要注意许多宠物健康问题，由于宠物无法描述它们可能经历的疼痛或问题，因此我们需要给它们提供正确的支持，这可以使我们更深入地了解宠物的健康状况。

与富有同情心和理解心的兽医一起工作至关重要。在过去，整体兽医经常被兽医界排斥。幸运的是，时代已经改变，整体兽医不再经历曾经的排斥。有些人选择与整体兽医，而另一些人则选择传统兽医。无论选择与哪种类型的兽医合作，找到自己喜欢和尊重的兽医可以更好地支持我们珍贵的宠物。

Jeff Feinman是一位了不起的整体兽医，拥有30年的经验，他在holisticactions.com网站上提供了许多令人难以置信的资源。他非常聪明，富有同情心，并为人们提供了许多有用的资料，以帮助所有宠物主更好地支持他们的动物同伴，可以在他的网站上查看内容丰富的文章和博客文章，或加入他的在线“整体宠物照护社区”以及在线会议。Feinman医生提供了令人难以置信的在线支持。

二．疗愈伴侣

如果生活中有宠物，我们在内心和灵魂中会知道它们是出色的疗愈伴侣。无论是狗、猫、鸟、马、兔子还是其他可爱的小动物，宠物都可以帮助我们疗愈。

宠物实际上会激活我们的免疫系统，并帮助疗愈疾病。这可能会让让你惊讶，但我们人体的杀伤细胞在宠物周围时会变得反应能力更强。我们的血小板也具有令人难以置信的反应能力，如果血小板状况低下，那么在生活中养宠物会积极地促进血小板生成。宠物可以帮助我们的肾上腺冷静下来并保持平衡。虽然在罕见的情况下，我们的狗可能会撕毁沙发，并吃下内部的填充物。在

这些罕见的情况下，当我们疯狂地担心狗吃了什么，且在看到沙发状态时，肾上腺可能会激增。但是，这些短暂而沮丧的时刻远远超过了无数与宠物共度时光的时刻，宠物为肾上腺和免疫系统等带来了令人难以置信的疗愈。

如果我们没有宠物，但抓挠邻居狗的后部，或者抚摸朋友的猫，那么我们同样在激活自己的免疫系统。仅仅触摸动物或短暂拥抱动物，就会在体内引起积极的反应。

三．囊肿、肿瘤和结节

许多动物在其一生中都会形成囊肿、肿瘤和结节。脂肪瘤在猫和狗中都可以长得很大。如果宠物患有脂肪瘤，那么阻止脂肪瘤生长是重要的第一步。血管生成发生在脂肪瘤发展过程中，从肿瘤伸出的微小触手状根不断在寻找食物。如果我们给动物喂养威胁健康的食物，这些食物会助长肿瘤的生长。但将威胁健康的食物从宠物饮食中去除可以阻止其生长。

转基因食品是脂肪瘤发展的顶级燃料，会引发这些肿瘤侵略性增长，因此请尽可能使宠物饮食不含转基因成分。如果选择喂养狗、猫或其他动物以谷物，请确保这些谷物不是转基因食物。如果宠物患有严重的脂肪瘤问题，在疗愈过程中，使其饮食完全没有任何谷物可能是最理想选择。

如果在经济上有困难，只能负担包含某些不利于健康的狗粮，也请不要紧张。我全力支持你的选择，请知道你正在尽最大努力。但如果有经济能力为狗提供不含转基因成分的食物，建议你为宠物选择这种饮食。

每天给宠物加入一些补充剂也可以帮助减少它们的脂肪瘤。维生素C是帮助预防和对抗脂肪瘤的绝佳选择。橄榄叶是另一种令人惊奇的补充剂。脂肪瘤吸收了橄榄叶中的某些植物化学物后，这些植物化学物会减慢并干扰脂肪肿瘤的生长。还可以加入保哥果（pau d'arco），这是另一种可以帮助减慢脂肪瘤生长的补充剂。

四．化脓性皮炎（hot spots）

如果狗、猫、兔子、豚鼠或其他动物在某些地方剧烈瘙痒并咬伤了毛皮，则可能是因为它们有化脓性皮炎。通常，这源自对饮食中某些成分的反应。请尝试将宠物的食物换成对它们健康更有利的选择，可能需要六到八周的时间才能注意到变化。

如果过了这段时间没有发现任何变化，请尝试再次更换宠物的食物，在接下来的六到八周内进行重新观察，如果仍然看不到变化，请尝试再次改变它们的饮食。有时宠物会喜欢一种食物，并且对饮食变化的接受程度不高，但如果想让宠物摆脱化脓性皮炎，那么最好是改变食物。

通常，不健康的食物会导致化脓性皮炎的发展。食物可能含有填充剂或其他不利于健康的成分，从而导致问题。根据宠物的独特需求和健康状况，即使是非常干净健康的食物，改变其饮食也可以帮助打破化脓性皮炎和掉毛的周期。在努力疗愈此类健康问题的过程中，加入维生素C可能会非常有益。高质量的补充剂可能无法疗愈化脓性皮炎的反应，但可以帮助加快伤口愈合的速度。

五．尿道感染和牙齿问题

帮助猫、狗或其他动物免受尿道感染的伤害可能是一个充满挑战的情况。慢性尿路感染会对动物造成特别的痛苦。使用维生素C增强宠物的免疫系统是一项重要的预防措施。橄榄叶是另一种有力的补充剂。保哥果（Pau d'arco）不仅可以对尿路感染提供支持，还可以帮助解决宠物可能遇到的任何牙齿问题。

同样，少量的蜂胶对尿路感染、牙齿问题和牙龈感染也有帮助。在宠物饮食中添加少量新鲜的牛至和欧芹也可以帮助疗愈尿路感染。您也可以去以上feinman医生网站上找到许多相关资讯。

六．心脏问题

如果宠物患有心脏病或血管问题，请务必在日常生活中加入辅酶Q10和维生素C。这些补充剂提供了出色基本支持。然后可以与整体兽医合作，找出宠物因其独特问题而需要的相应特定补充剂。

七．我如何照顾我的狗

以下是我照顾我家狗狗的一些方式。无论你拥有哪种宠物，这些信息都能为你提供一些新的想法。如果想实施其中的一些想法，请将这些信息告知你的兽医，并与他或她讨论，以了解哪种方法最适合你的宠物。

1. 生食

从我小时候起，我就给我养过的每只狗喂食生肉、蔬菜和水果。三十多年前，这被认为是不负责任且危险的，如果你告诉兽医、邻居或陌生人你在做什么，他们很可能会与动物保护人员联系以带走你的动物。幸运的是，这种曾一度被认为是非常不正常的饮食近年来变得非常流行，以至于许多宠物商店的冰箱和架子上都卖生食和脱水生食，现在几乎所有传统和整体兽医都声称这种饮食选择是一个很好的选择。

为什么几十年前给予动物生食被认为是危险的？具有讽刺意味的是，这出于同样的原因，很多年前对于人类来说，生水果和蔬菜也被认为不适合人类。围绕着这些疗愈食物存在大量错误信息，以至于许多人通常认为这是错误的选择。自那时以来，已经改变了很多，尽管通常蔬菜水果被认为是健康选择，但如今仍存在着大量关于这些疗愈食物的误解。想要了解更多，可以阅读“水果恐惧症”一文。

我给我的狗喂养生的草饲肉，请尽量避免在工厂养殖肉类，并尽可能坚持使用高质量的草饲肉。许多地方可以找到草饲肉，诸如健康食品商店和超市。与其购买切碎后的肉，不如选择完整的草饲肉，因为这通常含有较少的细菌。幸运的是，由于其胃中独特的酸，狗能够应对一定数量的细菌。人类胃中盐酸是由七种酸组成。这种混合物是人类独有的。狗有自己的胃酸混合物，由二十种酸组成，猫有类似的胃酸混合物。医学科学尚未发现有关人类胃中盐酸的真相或食肉犬和猫科动物中胃中所含盐酸的真相。

如果宠物是食肉动物，则它们会喜欢并从生的肉骨头中受益。这些是我家狗狗经常吃的东西。含骨髓的骨头因为富含矿物质，因此是狗、猫和其他食肉宠物的理想之选。这些骨头中所含的矿物质成分可以转变狗、猫或其他食肉宠物的健康。如果想给宠物喂食生肉骨头，你也可以咨询兽医。请千万不要喂宠物煮熟的骨头，因为骨头会碎裂，对动物有害且无法消化。

如果你一直用煮熟的肉类和蔬菜喂养宠物，且从未遇到过与食物相关的健康问题，那你也可以继续为宠物提供熟食，但请避免煮熟的骨头。红薯是非常好的煮熟蔬菜选择。如果宠物出现健康问题，并且想尝试新的饮食，那么饮食中加入生食可能会有所帮助。

有许多生食食物选择，请参考安东尼威廉的亚马逊页面列出的宠物食品选择（可能国内无法找到）：

https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-58c3b92a

2. 自制餐食

除了生肉之外，我还喜欢给狗狗做饭。在午餐时间前后，我会用破壁机（或混合机）将一个苹果和两根西芹棒打成泥，喂给我家狗狗。我通常还会加入一些大麦草汁粉和一些含有甲基钴胺素和腺苷钴胺素的B12。苹果西芹泥只是我喜欢为狗准备的午餐的一个例子。

我每天尝试将野生蓝莓加入狗的饮食中，并经常在午餐时间打碎500克左右解冻的冷冻野生蓝莓，并加入以上苹果西芹泥。如果你想保护宠物的免疫系统，则可以在其食物中撒些亚麻籽粉或奇亚籽粉。请确保不要过量，因为动物可能会感到腹胀。

大约在晚餐时间，我会给我的狗大块、带肉和骨髓的生骨。我会让他们稍微咀嚼骨头，撕下一些肉，然后舔骨髓。之后我会用拇指将骨髓的其余部分推出骨头喂给它们。我试图确保它们不会咬或嚼太多的骨头，因为如果它们不小心吞下一块大块骨头，这可能会成问题。注意它们的进食很重要。

3．加入水果

水果不仅对人类健康有益，而且可以改变宠物的健康。当我的狗还是小狗时，我教它们吃小块香蕉。无论是小狗还是成年狗，请尽可能尝试给狗吃一些不同的水果，例如香蕉、非转基因木瓜和浆果。水果可以帮助支持宠物的神经系统，帮助预防和中止脂肪瘤的生长，并有助于预防和逆转癌症。在饮食中加入树莓、黑莓、香蕉、野蓝莓、非转基因木瓜和其他你的狗或宠物可能喜欢的水果。

苹果和梨是很棒的水果补充。水果中的抗氧化物可以帮助增强动物的免疫系统，抵御任何可能出现的健康问题。如果你的动物正在与癌症作斗争，请加入水果，再加上你和兽医选择的治疗方式，将提升宠物战胜疾病的机会。每天吃一点水果就能为宠物健康带来奇迹！

4. 加入蔬菜

我的狗不仅吃水果，而且还吃蔬菜。我的狗喜欢吃西芹，每只狗每天大约吃四到五根西芹棒。我在它们早晨吃草饲牛肉，以及下午吃完骨髓后会喂给它们一些蔬菜。黄瓜是它们最喜欢的小食。尝试将西芹和黄瓜片加入宠物的饮食。

只要不向院子里喷洒危险化学品或居住在有杀虫剂喷雾剂的社区中，猫狗在外面可以吃一点草。你甚至可能想在室内为猫种植小麦草。有时，当猫狗感到不适时，它们会尝试吃很多草，以催吐，但这实际上会造成宠物肠道堵塞的危险。请尽量防止你的猫狗在外面吃过多的草。让兽医知道你的宠物是否正在外面摄入过量的草，或通过以上列出的网站寻求在线支持。

将绿色带入动物生活的一种神奇方法是在其饮食中加入一点大麦草汁粉。

5. 谷物和宠物

如果你唯一的宠物食物选择是在含有填充剂、副产品和化学物的转基因狗粮和含有谷物的自制狗粮之间选择，我建议您选择含谷物的自制狗粮。你可以将煮熟的糙米与一点点的红薯、西葫芦、西兰花或西芹混合在一起，制成宠物饭，这远远优于商店购买的转基因狗粮。但如果你选择为狗或其他动物提供无谷物的餐食，那将是一个提升其健康很好的方向。我喜欢让狗的饮食保持无谷物状态，但有些类型的动物依赖谷物，因此在制定其饮食计划时要记住宠物的独特性，这一点很重要。

6．猫、狗与素食

有些人给予猫狗纯素饮食。如果想逆转狗或猫的疾病，这种类型的饮食在短期内可能是有益的，但是除了素食之外，必须引入野生鲑鱼油（Wild Salmon Oil），这一点至关重要。因为猫和狗是食肉动物，所以它们无法通过纯素食茁壮成长。如果你想让它们保持纯素饮食，请务必将野生鲑鱼油纳入其日常饮食中。我推荐的品牌为Grizzly Salmon Plus的Omega Fatty Acids Supplement for Dogs & Cats。

与猫狗不同，人类并不是食肉动物，如果愿意，可以吃纯素食。

7. 营养匮乏和补充剂

解决宠物可能存在的任何营养缺陷至关重要。 Ambaya Gold公司的Pet Health +™是一种出色的综合维生素，可帮助减少宠物的营养缺乏症。 SeaMeal™（一种由Solid Gold公司生产的海带补充剂）是为宠物提供一些所需必需维生素和矿物质的另一个不错的选择。如果宠物患有营养不良症，那么在日常饮食中撒一点点大麦草汁粉也很重要。

我让我的狗狗每天摄入甲基钴胺素和腺苷钴胺素的B12，许多人在让宠物摄入B12之后，发现其健康状况出现了积极有益的变化。如果宠物患有神经系统问题，B12尤其重要，但实际上这是任何疾病的有益补充，不需要给宠物1-2滴管，只需几滴就能有帮助。

如果你的狗或猫较大，则多滴几滴更有益，就能看到积极的变化。维生素C在本文中多次提及，这是一种功能强大的补充剂，可以帮助支持许多健康问题，包括神经系统和中枢神经系统问题。

一两滴优质锌对动物有帮助，并且对狗、猫和其他动物的甲状腺疾病特别有益。在动物中发现的甲状腺疾病与在人类中发现的甲状腺疾病非常相似，更多细节请见“各类甲状腺问题的原因和疗愈之道”。EB病毒可进入甲状腺并引起严重的健康问题。导致猫、狗或其他动物甲状腺问题的病毒是EB病毒的一种变体。幸运的是某些食物和补充剂诸如锌和维生素C可以有帮助。

尽管有些人认为使用氨基葡萄糖和软骨素后感到关节问题有所改善，但我从未见过它能帮助人类严重的关节和关节炎问题。但这些补充剂实际上可以对动物提供高度支持，同样MSM似乎对宠物比对人类更高效。Rescue Remedy品牌具有不含酒精的酊剂非常有助于保持宠物的平静和凉爽。寻找良好的皮肤药膏也可能对某些动物有益。

请查看官网关于专门针对宠物的产品，你也可以浏览Hawaii Pharm品牌提供的不含酒精的兽医草药提取物系列，其中包含一些令人难以置信的高品质选择。您也可以在官网的宠物产品页面上找到这些产品。

8. 需要避免的食物

有些食物我们需要避免喂养给狗、猫和其他动物。对于狗而言，请远离葡萄，葡萄中的一种植物化学物对狗有毒。狗、猫或其他动物也应避免食用某些牛油果。普通的Hass品种牛油果宠物可以食用，但是其他品种的牛油果（诸如在西印度群岛种植的牛油果和佛罗里达州发现的更大牛油果品种）对宠物来说并不安全。如果不了解牛油果的不同品种，最好完全避免给宠物喂养牛油果。

但如果你对不同品种的牛油果有所了解，并想给宠物喂一些普通Hass牛油果，那这是安全的。请避免喂狗或猫夏威夷果。同时让狗或猫远离巧克力至关重要，因为巧克力对猫和狗有毒。给予宠物补充剂时，请避免使用含酒精的酊剂，除非别无选择。

四．向前进

宠物对我们意义重大。有些人将宠物描述为他们的婴儿、孩子或最好的朋友，它们是我们最亲密的伴侣，在我们一生中最美好的时光和最糟糕的时光中一直陪伴着我们。

照顾好我们的狗、猫、鸟、马、仓鼠或其他宠物很重要，为了保证它们的健康，我们也需要照顾好自己的健康，这也同样重要，这样我们的宠物也有极具朝气的父母。如果你因为健康问题而挣扎，请阅读我的书籍或访问官网，以找到自己的疗愈之旅的希望和信息。拥有这些信息，我们和宠物都可以一起成长。我爱你和你的宠物，我相信，对你和宠物来说，你们能拥有活力四射的健康！

Pet Health

Our pets can bring us so much joy, peace, and companionship, and we want to provide them with the best care possible. Unfortunately, like humans, there are a number of health issues our pets can encounter throughout their lives. Whether your pet is up against a neurological condition, nervous system or immune system issue, ALS or AIDS diagnosis, a thyroid problem, cancer, chronic UTIs, lipomas, allergies, hot spots, teeth issues, bad breath, or deficiencies of any kind, there are steps that you can take to support your animal through their health struggles and help them to be the healthiest they can be. I know you consider your pet a part of your family and would do whatever you can to be there for your animal. This article will address common health issues that pets experience, highlight some great supplement and food recommendations, and give you a brief glimpse into the care and support I offer my own four-legged family members.

August’s Story

In the first chapter of my book Medical Medium, I tell the miraculous story of when I saved my dog, August, thanks to the guidance of Spirit and the tremendous support of angelic power. Years ago, we were in New England, taking a walk along the shore of an inlet. August bounded into the frigid water to play and ended up getting stuck far out in the tumultuous waves due to the rough current and a patch of seaweed blocking her from returning to shore. I immediately ripped off my boots and jacket and dove into the bitter cold water, hoping to save my precious loved one and best friend.

When I was about halfway to August, Spirit instructed me to return to shore (you can read more about who Spirit is in my first book Medical Medium also.) I refused, but Spirit insisted, telling me I was already losing the capacity to function because of the frigid waters and would not be able to save August. August had helped me stay strong throughout so much of my life, and I cracked under the thought of losing my beloved companion, yelling out to Spirit in frustration and anger as I was struggling to stay afloat.

At this point, I could no longer feel my body. Orchestrating a miracle for me, Spirit changed his instructions and instead of insisting I head towards the shore, Spirit told me to swim out another fifteen feet. Only because of Spirit helping me was I able to push myself further out into the water. Once I had traveled further into the treacherous bay, I followed Spirit’s instructions to take a deep breath and swim eight feet below the surface. Something other than the adrenaline that was already coursing through my system seemed to infuse my body at this point. Eight feet under water, I opened my eyes and saw August, with her red collar around her neck, in the arms of a female Angel. In a state of euphoria as the angel handed me August, I began to pull her up to the surface of the water. When we emerged, Spirit was standing on top of the water looking directly at me. In my entire lifetime of hearing Spirit constantly talking to me this was only the second time I’d ever seen Spirit. The first time was at age four when I received my gift. At this point, my fear had passed and immense relief and gratitude washed over me until Spirit told me that we were out of time, the Angel was leaving and that I must hurry back to shore while the angelic power was still present. At this moment it dawned on me that the only reason I was able to move through the freezing cold waters was due to the powerful angelic assistance. As relief turned into panic again, I fought my way with everything I had left in me to get back to shore with August, completely drained and hypothermic, but grateful we both survived.

I thanked Spirit for helping me with August’s miraculous rescue and I realized it was the first time I’d ever said thank you to Spirit in my life. Largely because of this emotional event, after many years of bitterness and frustration about the gift I’d been given, I decided to stay committed to spreading the healing information Spirit relayed to me everyday despite the hardships I endured so many years ago. I owed Spirit, and I owe all of you who desperately need accurate healing information to bring you the truth so you and your loved ones can finally heal. My dog, August, was a critical part of that life-changing commitment.

I tell this story to highlight just how important my pets are to me. They are part of my family, and I would do whatever I could to save their lives. They have had an impact on some of the most important moments in my life, and I don’t know where I would be without them. When I share the guidance and truth in this article, I share it with all the care and love I have for my pets and all the pets around the world.

Creating Support

There are a number of health issues you have to watch out for as a pet owner, and because your pet can’t describe the pain or problems they may be experiencing, it is essential that you surround yourself and your pet with proper support. This extra support can allow you to have greater insight into your pet’s health and wellness.

Working with a compassionate, understanding veterinarian is crucial. In my opinion, holistic veterinarians were often dismissed by the veterinarian community in years past. Fortunately, times have changed and holistic veterinarians no longer experience the exclusion they once did. Some people opt for a holistic vet, while others choose to work with a more conventionally-minded veterinarian. Presently, many veterinarians seem to be implementing a mix of both allopathic and holistic ideas in their practices. Regardless of what type of veterinarian you choose to work with, it is critical you find a veterinarian that you love and respect, and someone who will work with you to best support your pup, kitty, or other precious pet.

A Helpful Resource

Dr. Jeff Feinman is an amazing holistic veterinarian with thirty years of experience who offers a number of incredible resources on his website holisticactions.com. He is brilliant, compassionate, and provides people with a number of informative materials to help owners best support and empower their animal companions. I highly recommend checking out the informative articles and blog posts on his website, and, if you are interested, join his online Holistic Pet Care Community and be a part of his empowering online meetings. As a pet owner, the more assistance you can find, the better, and Dr. Feinman offers some incredible online support.

Therapy Companions

If you have a pet in your life, you probably already know in your heart and soul that they make wonderful therapy companions. Whether it be a dog, cat, bird, horse, rabbit, or other cuddly critter, your pet can help you heal.

Pets actually stimulate your immune system and can play a part in helping heal disease and illness. It may be surprising to learn that your natural killer cells can become more responsive when around your pets. Your platelets are also incredibly responsive, and having a pet in your life can positively stimulate platelet production if you’re someone struggling with a low platelet condition. A pet can help your adrenals calm down and balance out. Yes, there is the uncommon instance where your dog tears up the couch, rips the stuffing out, and eats it. During these rare occasions, your adrenals may surge as you frantically worry about what your dog ate and observe the state of your couch. But, these temporary, infrequent moments of frustration are far outweighed by the countless moments where the time spent with your pet actually brings incredible healing for your adrenals, immune system, and more.

If you don’t have a pet, but you scratch the back of your neighbor's dog or pet your friend’s cat, you are still stimulating your immune system. Just touching an animal or briefly cuddling with an animal can elicit positive responses in the body.

Cysts, Tumors & Nodules

Many animals develop cysts, tumors, and nodules during their lifetimes. Lipomas can grow quite large in both cats and dogs. If your pet has a lipoma, working to stop the fatty tumor’s growth is a great first step. Angiogenesis occurs during the development of a lipoma and tiny tentacle-like roots extending out from the tumor constantly search for food. Consequently, if you feed your animals toxic foods that fuel the lipoma, its roots will draw these foods in and it will continue to grow. However, taking certain toxic foods out of your pet’s diet can halt the the growth of this fatty lump.

GMO foods are especially good fuel for lipomas and can trigger the aggressive growth of these tumors, so try to make your pet’s diet GMO-free if possible. If you choose to feed your dog, cat, or other animal grains, make sure the grains are non-GMO. If your pet has serious lipoma issues, keeping his or her diet completely grain-free may be ideal during the healing process. If you struggle financially and can only afford to feed your dog food that contains some unproductive ingredients, do not stress yourself out. I fully support you, and know you are doing the best you possibly can for your pet. However, if you have the financial means to provide your dog with GMO-free food, I would recommend making this dietary choice.

Adding a few different supplements to your pet’s daily routine can also help reduce his or her lipoma. Vitamin C, such as Ester-C, is a great choice for helping prevent and combat lipomas. Olive leaf is another amazing supplement to try. The lipoma draws up certain phytochemicals found in olive leaf which slow down and interfere with the growth of the fatty tumor. You may want to incorporate pau d’arco as well, another supplement that can help slow down a lipoma’s growth.

Hot Spots

If your dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, or other animal badly itch and bite their fur out in certain places, he or she may be suffering from hot spots. Typically the formation of hot spots is a reaction to something in the animal’s diet. Try switching your pet’s food to choices that may be better for them and be mindful that It may take six to eight weeks to notice changes. If you don’t notice any difference after this period of time, try changing your pet’s food a second time. Reassess after the next six to eight week period, and if you are still not seeing changes, try changing up his or her diet once again. Sometimes pets can grow fond of one food and not be very receptive to dietary changes, but if you are working to rid your pet of hot spots, switching up his or her food is the best course of action.

Oftentimes, unhealthy food is contributing to the development of hot spots. A food may have fillers or other unproductive ingredients that play a part in creating this issue. Depending on your pet’s unique needs and health conditions, changing up his or her food, even if it is a very clean, healthy food, can help to break up the hot spot and fur loss cycle. Bringing vitamin C into your pet’s daily protocol can be incredibly beneficial as you work to heal this health issue. A high-quality supplement may not heal the hot spot reactions, but it can help expedite the healing of any wounds that form.

UTIs & Teeth Issues

Helping your cat, dog, or other animal heal from a UTI can be a challenging situation. Chronic UTIs can be especially painful for an animal. Building up your pet’s immune system with vitamin C is an essential preventative measure. Olive leaf is another powerful supplement to incorporate. Pau d’arco is not only great for UTI support, but also helps with any teeth problems your pet may be experiencing. Similarly, a tiny bit of propolis can be helpful for UTIs, teeth issues, and gum infections. Adding small amounts of fresh oregano and parsley into your pets food can also help with UTIs. The resource I mentioned earlier could be helpful for support with conditions such as UTIs also. You can check it out here.

Heart Problems

If your pet suffers from heart disease or vascular issues, it is critical you add coenzyme Q10 and vitamin C into his or her supplement protocol. These supplements offer wonderful baseline supports. From here, you can work with your holistic veterinarian to figure out what particular supplements your pet needs for his or her unique issue.

How I Care For My Dogs

Below are a few things I do to care for my dogs. Hopefully this information provides you with some new ideas and insight regardless of the kind of pet you own. If you want to implement some of these ideas, take the information to your vet and discuss it with him or her to see which new practices would be best for your animal.

Raw Food

I’ve fed raw meat, vegetables and fruits to every dog I’ve had since childhood. Over thirty years ago, this was considered reckless and dangerous, and if you told your veterinarian, neighbour, or a stranger what you were doing, there was the possibility that they would contact services to have your animal taken away. Fortunately, this particular diet, at one time considered highly unconventional, has grown immensely popular in recent years to the point where raw food and dehydrated raw food now line the fridges and shelves of pet stores, and almost all conventional and holistic vets praise this dietary choice as being a great option. Why was raw food for animals frowned upon decades ago? Ironically enough, for the same reason any raw fruits and vegetables were frowned upon even for humans many years ago. There was such a great amount of misinformation on these healing foods that they were often considered to be bad choices. We have come a long way since then, however there is still an enormous amount of misinformation about these foods today even though they are generally recognized to be healthy choices. You can read the Fruit Fear chapter in my book, Medical Medium, to understand part of this issue.

My dogs have always had good results from eating raw, grass fed meat. Try your best to avoid factory farmed meat, and stick with high-quality, grass fed varieties whenever possible. You will likely find grass fed options at a number of places including health food stores and supermarkets. Instead of purchasing ground meat, opt for a whole, grass fed selection which typically contains less bacteria. Fortunately, dogs are able to handle a certain level of bacteria thanks to the unique acids in their stomachs.

In various Medical Medium resources including my first book, Medical Medium, I’ve mentioned the seven acids that make up your stomach's hydrochloric acid. This blend is unique to humans. Dogs have their own blend, which is made up of twenty acids, and cats have a similar combination. Medical science and medical research have yet to discover the truth about our stomach’s hydrochloric acid or the truth about the hydrochloric acid found in our carnivorous canine and feline friends.

If your pet is a carnivore, he or she may really enjoy and benefit from raw meaty bones. These are constant staples for my dogs. Marrow bones, which are loaded with minerals that are ideal for dogs, cats, and other carnivorous pets, are particularly incredible. The mineral composition inside these bones can transform the health of your dog, cat or other carnivorous pet. You can always consult your vet if you wish to feed your pets raw meaty bones. It’s important to never feed your pet cooked bones because they can splinter and be hazardous to your animal and can’t be digested.

If you’ve always fed your pet cooked meat and veggies, and have never encountered food-related health issues, you can definitely continue providing your pet with a cooked diet, with the exception of cooked bones. Sweet potatoes can be an especially great cooked vegetable option. If health issues do arise and you want to try out a new diet, bringing in some raw food might be beneficial.

At present, there are numerous, high-quality raw food sources to choose from. The Honest Kitchen company sells raw, dehydrated food for cats and dogs. For these meals, you can just add a little water and have a tasty, wholesome dish for your dog or cat in no time. You can find their cat food here and dog food here and browse through their different products. Orijen is another great company that offers an excellent dry food option for cats and kittens and also for dogs. If you're looking for some fun, tasty treats for your dog, check out the coconut-based, grain-free treats and biscuits by K9 Granola Factory.

Homemade Meals

In addition to the raw meat, I like to give my dogs homemade meals as well. Around lunchtime, I like to make my dogs a mash by throwing an apple and two celery sticks into the food processor for each dog. I will often add a little barley grass juice extract powder and a little B-12 with methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin as well. This apple celery mash is just one example of the lunches I like to whip up for my dogs.

I try to incorporate wild blueberries into my dogs’ diet every single day, and often grind up a pint of defrosted frozen wild blueberries in their lunchtime mash. If you are looking for another way to protect your pet’s immune system, sprinkle a touch of flaxseed meal or chia seed meal into your dog’s food as well. Make sure not to give your animal too much of either because he or she may experience some bloating.

Around dinnertime, I’ll give my dogs larger-sized, raw, meaty, marrow bones. I’ll let them chew on the bones a bit, rip off some meat, and lick out some of the marrow. After that, I’ll push the rest of the marrow out of the bone with my thumb and give it to them. I try to make sure that they don’t crunch or chew too much of the bone because it could be problematic if they were to accidentally swallow a large piece. Keeping an eye on them is important.

Bringing in Fruit

Fruit is not only incredibly beneficial for your health, but can transform your pet’s health as well. When my dogs were puppies, I taught them to eat small pieces of banana. Whether you have a puppy or a full grown dog, try giving your pooch a few different pieces of fruit, such as bananas, papaya, and berries, whenever you can. Fruit can help support your pet’s nervous system, help prevent and discontinue the growth of lipomas, and assist in the prevention and reversal of cancers. Bring in raspberries, blackberries, bananas, wild blueberries, papaya, and any other fruits you think your dog or pet might like. Apples and pears are great fruity additions for an animal’s diet. The antioxidants found in fruits will help support an animal’s immune system in fighting off whatever issues may arise. If your animal is battling cancer, bringing in fruit, alongside whatever treatment route you and your veterinarian choose to go, will give your pet a better chance at beating the disease. Just a little fruit each day can do wonders for your pet’s health!

Incorporating Veggies

My dogs not only eat fruit, but I also supplement their diet with veggies as well. My dogs love to munch on celery and each of them eat around four to five sticks per day. I’ll give them a few veggies after their morning meal of grass-fed beef and later in the afternoon after they devour their marrow bones. Cucumber is another favorite snack of theirs. Try introducing celery and cucumber slices to your pet.

It’s alright for your dog or cat to eat a little grass if they go outside, as long as you don’t spray your yard with dangerous chemicals or live in a community that sprays. You may even want to grow a wheat grass bed indoors for your cat. Sometimes when dogs and cats feel sick or unwell, they try to eat a large quantity of grass in an attempt to make themselves throw up, but this can actually create a dangerous blockage in your pet’s intestinal tract. Try to prevent too much outside grass consumption. Let your vet know if your pet is overeating grass outside or seek support online with a resources like this one.

An amazing way to bring greens into your animal’s life is to add a little barley grass juice extract powder or wheatgrass juice extract powder into their food. Vimergy has the highest-quality products that both you and your pet can use.

Grains & Pets

If your only choice is between low-quality, GMO dog food containing fillers, byproducts, and chemicals and homemade dog food that contains grains, I would recommend opting for the homemade, grain-containing dog food. You could combine cooked brown rice with a little bit of sweet potato, winter squash, broccoli, or celery and make a meal that is significantly better than a dish containing store bought GMO food. However, if you have the option to provide your dog or other animal with grain-free meal options, that would be a great direction to go. I like keeping my dog’s diet grain-free, but there are some types of animals that are dependent on grains and it is important to keep your unique pet in mind when creating his or her diet plan.

Cats, Dogs & Veganism

Some people feed their dogs a vegan diet. Even some cat owners feed their felines vegan. This type of diet can be beneficial short-term if you are trying to reverse an illness or disease in your dog or cat, but alongside the vegan diet it is critical that you bring in wild salmon oil. Because cats and dogs are carnivores they cannot thrive on a regular vegan diet. If you want to keep them on a vegan diet, incorporating wild salmon oil into their daily protocol is essential. You can find the brand of wild salmon oil I recommend, along with a host of other products, on the Medical Medium page of preferred pet products. Unlike cats and dogs, humans aren’t carnivores and are able to eat a vegan diet if they choose. That being said, humans are able to eat animal protein if they want, and I support whatever diet works best for you and your health. I’m not the biggest fan of an extremely high protein diet because a diet like that does not leave much room for healing fresh fruits and veggies, but some people feel okay keeping a bit of high-quality meat in their diet alongside an abundance of fresh fruits, leafy greens, and vegetables..

Deficiencies & Supportive Supplements

Addressing any deficiencies your pet may have is essential. Pet Health+™ by Ambaya Gold is a great multivitamin for helping reduce deficiencies. SeaMeal™, a kelp-based supplement by Solid Gold is another good option for providing your pet with some of the essential vitamins and minerals he or she needs. If your pet is suffering from deficiencies, it is vital you sprinkle a little bit of barley grass juice extract powder into his or her daily meals as well. I give my dogs the B-12 with methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin which you can find on the Medical Medium preferred supplements page, and I’ve noticed a positive difference in their health. Others have noticed beneficial shifts in their pet’s health after incorporating B-12. B-12 is especially important if your pet is suffering from neurological or nervous system problems, but it can be a supportive supplement for virtually any ailment. You do not have to give your pet two dropper fulls or even one dropper full— just a few drops can help. If your dog or cat is larger in size, a couple more drops may be beneficial, but a generous amount is not necessary to see positive changes. Vitamin C, which is mentioned numerous times throughout this article, is a powerful supplement that can help support a number of health problems including neurological and central nervous system issues.

A drop or two of high-quality zinc can be helpful for animals, and can be especially beneficial for thyroid disease in dogs, cats, and other animals. Thyroid disease found in animals is very similar to thyroid disease found in humans. I share the true, unknown cause of Hashimoto’s disease, which is Epstein-Barr virus, with those suffering in my first book Medical Medium. Plus, my book Thyroid Healing goes into enormous detail on the undiscovered truths about thyroid disease and other thyroid conditions. This virus can get into the thyroid and cause major health issues. This information was unknown until I brought it to light, and now you are learning undiscovered information about the thyroid disease found in pets as well. The virus that gets into the thyroid of a cat, dog, or other animal is a mutated strain that falls within the Epstein-Barr family. Fortunately certain foods and supplements, such as zinc and vitamin C can help.

Although some people feel improvements using glucosamine and chondroitin, I’ve never seen it offer abundant support for serious joint and arthritis problems in humans. However, these supplements can actually be highly supportive in animals. Similarly, MSM seems to work even more effectively for pets than it does for humans. The brand Rescue Remedy has an alcohol-free tincture that is great for helping to keep pets calm and cool. Seeking out a great skin salvemay also be beneficial for some animals.

If you’re on the hunt for the right kind of high quality supplements that matter and can make a great difference in your pet’s health, check out the Medical Medium page dedicated to preferred pet products. You may also want to look at the line of alcohol-free, veterinary herbal extracts by Hawaii Pharm, which contains some incredibly high-quality options. You can find these products on the preferred pet products page as well.

Foods to Avoid

There are a few foods that you should avoid giving to your dogs, cats, and other animals. If you have a dog, try to keep grapes away from him or her. There is a phytochemical found in grapes that is actually toxic to dogs. Your dog, cat or other animal should also avoid eating certain avocados. A regular Hass avocado is okay for pets to eat, but other varieties of avocados, such as those grown in the West Indies and the larger avocado varieties found in Florida are not safe for your pet. If you don’t want to mess with learning about the different avocado varieties, it may be best to avoid feeding avocados to your pet altogether. However, if you know a little about the different varieties and want to give your pet a bit of a regular Hass avocado that would be a safe treat. Do not feed your dogs or cats macadamia nuts. And, as many pet owners already know, keeping your dog or cat away from chocolate is critical. Chocolate is poisonous to cats and dogs. When giving your pets supplements, do not use tinctures that contain alcohol unless it’s all you have to work with. It is best to stick to alcohol-free brands for the health of your pet.

Moving Forward with Healing

Our pets mean so much to us. Some people describe their pet as their baby, child, or best friend, and these sentiments are shared by countless owners. They are some of our closest companions and have been there through the best and worst moments of our lives.

Not only is it important to take care of your dog, cat, bird, horse, hamster, or other sweet animal, and provide for their health, but it is also important that you support your own health, so that your pets have the healthiest, most vibrant parent possible. If you’re struggling with your own health, check out my radio shows, articles, and other Medical Medium resources to find hope and information for your own healing journey, and also look into the support offered at holisticactions.com. Armed with this information, you and your pet can grow in wellness together. I have nothing but love for both you and your pet, and I believe that vibrant health is possible for both of you.
