OVER VACCINATION, is, in my EXPERT OPINION, a leading cause of many kinds of chronic illnesses and problems that affect MANY PETS all over the world.

Allergies, autoimmune disease, anxiety, inflammatory bowel disease- all caused by VACCINE INJURY, which dysregulates the immune system severely in a proportion of animals.

The more vaccines a pet ios given, the greater is the chance of HARM.

I am amazed, but not surprised that all of the veterinary organisations around the world STILL recommend yearly or three yearly re-vaccination with core vaccines (C3 for dogs, F3 for cats)...

Even though the comprehensive research done by Dr Ronald Schultz definitively proves that the duration of immunity is AT LEAST 5-7 years, and often longer!

Even though a simple titer test can measure antibody levels, and tell you if your pet does NOT need re-vaccination. (Most pets I titer test do not need re-vaccination, by the way.)

I believe this is because vaccinations are such a LARGE part of the income streams for most vet clinics. (I lost 25% of my income when I stopped re-vaccinating pets every year in my first home visit practice.)

So YOU need to be your pet's protector and advocate when it comes to vaccination. Demand titer testing, and minimise your pet's vaccinations whilst making sure they are protected!

Push back against your vets if you have to.

Après les tiques… une autre affaire ! 😩
Pour ceux qui prévoient voyager en Ontario ou ailleurs cet été, c’est bon à savoir.

Des vers marteaux toxiques repérés en Ontario ! 🪱
Ce que les propriétaires d’animaux (et les amoureux du jardinage !) doivent savoir 👇

Les vers marteaux , ces vers plats à l’apparence extraterrestre avec une tête en forme de pelle ,ont récemment été aperçus dans certaines régions de l’Ontario. Ils peuvent sembler fascinants, mais ils sont hautement toxiques et dangereux pour les animaux de compagnie, la faune et même les humains !

⚠️ Pourquoi sont-ils une menace ?

Ils libèrent une neurotoxine appelée tétrodotoxine (oui, la même que chez le poisson-globe !).

Cette toxine peut rendre malade si elle est touchée ou ingérée par un animal ou un enfant.

Ils s’attaquent aux vers de terre bénéfiques et perturbent les écosystèmes locaux.

🐾 Conseils pour la sécurité de vos animaux :

Ne laissez pas vos animaux flairer ou manger des vers inconnus dans le jardin ou en promenade.

Portez des gants si vous devez en manipuler un, ne jamais les toucher à mains nues !

Pour vous en débarrasser : mettez-les dans un sac scellé avec du sel, du vinaigre ou de l’alcool à friction.

📍 Si vous pensez que votre animal a été en contact avec un de ces vers, appelez votre vétérinaire immédiatement.

Restez informés. Restez prudents. Protégeons nos chiens 💚

It’s pumpkin season and there are so many ways to feed this fiber-rich superfood! 🎃🍂

After removing the seeds, steam or bake your pumpkin until the flesh is soft. Scoop out the flesh and freeze in ice cube trays to use all winter! (If you buy canned pumpkin to feed to your pets, make sure to only buy 100% pumpkin - preferably organic - NOT pie filling, which can cause GI problems).

You can also feed raw, unsalted seeds one at a time for perfectly sized, magnesium-rich training treats. Feed up to 1/4 tsp per 10 pounds of body weight, spread throughout the day.

In our book, The Forever Dog LIFE , you can our other favorite remedies for GI distress AND recipes to help you incorporate pumpkin into your pet's diet. Now available, and on sale at your favorite retailers.

Non-core vaccines for dogs include Leptospira, Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease), Bordetella, canine influenza viruses H3N8 and H3N2, and Crotalus Atrox (Western Diamond Rattlesnake). 🐶💉 But does your pup really need them? 🤔 Read today’s free article linked in the comments to find out.

Adolescence occurs between six months and 18 months of age—a time when guardians typically struggle the most with their dogs. Some guardians are so overwhelmed and underprepared for this developmental stage of their dog’s life, they choose to surrender the dog to a local shelter or rescue group. In a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science found that the majority of the surrendered dogs (47.7 percent) ) were between 5 months and 3 years of age (M.D. Salman,John G. New, Jr.,Janet M. Scarlett,Philip H. Kass,Rebecca Ruch-Gallie &Suzanne Hetts, 2010)

The neurobiology of adolescence is fascinating, with some key events that alter both the structure and function of the brain.

During canine adolescence, changing s*x hormones effect the animals stress responses. Adolescent dogs have a decreased ability to process information they are receiving from the environment including the presence of dogs, vehicles, people, or really anything around them. They behave in ways that might feel frustrating or upsetting for the dog’s person.

The connectivity between the frontal cortex (responsible for decision making) and amygdala (responsible for emotional processing) decreases, resulting in less behavioral control. We see increased risk taking and more sensitivity to fear.

So what does this mean? This could mean that what was once no big deal to the dog now feels scary; what was once easy to do is now stressful; what once made sense is now confusing. At times, the world can feel like ‘too much’ for the adolescent dog.

As your puppy undergoes this transition into adulthood their inner world is intense, even chaotic. Many pet owners experience an increase in undesirable behavior and find themselves becoming increasingly frustrated. In turn, our own frustration and impatience can cause us to act unpredictably. This adds to our puppy’s inner turmoil. When the inside and the outside are both unpredictable it can be difficult for our dogs to adjust.

If you have an adolescent dog, what can you do? You can give your dog the time and space to observe what is going on around them when on leash at a distance away from the activity when possible. You can give your dog long walks to sniff and explore in nature, giving their brain time to decompress. You can offer your dog a quiet space to sleep so that they can consolidate memories effectively. You can continue training various skills, breaking them down into easier steps that can be generously reinforced.

By understanding what our adolescent dog is experiencing we gain greater compassion and understanding. When we approach adolescence with patience we create a world that is predictable and gentle so our puppies grow up to be their best adult selves.
