Hello friends! I wanted to share a GoFundMe for Jack, an 18-year-old gelding who was in a really tough situation and is now starting a refeeding program to recover from starvation. Every donation makes a real difference in providing him with the food he needs to heal, so please consider clicking the link below to donate or share it with others who might help. Thank you!

Autoimmune conditions can be the underlying cause of so many hard-to-treat issues in dogs. Chronic skin issues that don't respond to medication. Digestive problems no matter how many times you change the diet. A dry, crusty nose and weeping eyes. Tiredness and reluctance to eat.
There are various reasons why autoimmune conditions flare up in dogs. The biggest ways we can make a change is through diet and stress management. These practices don't have to be complicated, but making daily changes has profound lifelong impact.
Did you know dogs can suffer from autoimmune conditions?

I was eating a healthy diet, exercising well and taking supplements that made me feel great.

But I was still feeding my dogs commercial dog food.
The best commercial dog food.

But still. Kibble.

I thought: homemade dog diets are too expensive, too hard to make, and would leave my dogs with vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

But then a dog came into my life who changed everything.
He was very sick and the vet gave him 1-2 weeks to live. I brought him home. Friends came to say goodbye and express condolences.
So, I felt – what did I have to lose?

I changed EVERYTHING. I applied all of my health and wellness education. Plus a hint of my own intuition.

And…he thrived! He got better and better!

I realized, so much of what I had been doing for him wasn’t natural for a dog.
When we decided to go with nature, he got his life back. He is still happy and healthy and hiking every day.

Do you know that you can help your own dog’s health? Right now? With what you already have?

I created Resilient Dog as an easy course that details all the aspects I changed for my own dog, and how you can make changes too!

I felt I had nothing to lose… He had 1-2 weeks to live I was hand feeding him and using a syring to offer water. I carried him into my vet’s office and was told he was very seriously sick. I could choose to euthanize him then, or take him home on palliative car. I felt I had nothing to lose… 2...

Homemade dog diets don't have to be complicated. My dogs eat what I eat, just as dogs did thousands of years ago. A variety of animal proteins, organ meats, bone broth, vegetables, fruits and prepared grains and seeds ensure that the diet is nutrient dense.

You are what you eat and your dog is what your dog eats! Is feeding "natural" dog food enough?
Maybe not. Many "natural" dog foods are high in carbs and low in protein, bioavailable minerals and polyphenols. Carbs such as corn, wheat, and even rice or quinoa are fillers that drive up insulin levels and can promote yeast/bacteria imbalance, contribute to obesity, and drive inflammation. Eating a natural dog food is really a mono-diet, which does little to support gut health and diversity in your pup. Finally, many natural foods contain mycotoxins, AGEs, herbicide residues and preservatives that accumulate over time (daily feedings) in your dog and can contribute to health problems.

Genetics definitely play a role in diseases that dogs are prone to, but what turns these gene expressions on? How much can we affect whether or not our dogs become sick? I have witnessed first hand how crafting a lifestyle that is "natural for dogs" can take chronic diseases out of the picture!

Why do more chemicals turn up in our dogs? Because they are so exposed! Dogs are walked through urban areas where herbicides are exposed, and later they lick their feet. Topical pesticides are routinely applied to dogs in order to prevent flea and tick infestation. Many commercially produced dog foods contain AGEs, mycotoxins, glyphosate and heavy metals. Plastic toys that are intended for dogs to gnaw on contain phthalates. Dogs rest on household carpeting and furnishings that contain formaldehyde and flame retardants. To make things worse, dogs inhabit smaller bodies than people do, and they are unable to detox through sweat as people do, which adds up to higher chemical burden.
I cover the topic of toxins in an entire module in my Resilient Dog Course! Link in Bio.

Our dogs evolved alongside us, eating what humans hunted, foraged or grew. Their diets consisted of meat and table scraps until commercial dog food was invented in 1860. Commercial dog food was created for profit and convenience. But are our dogs really healthier for it? And if not, what are the alternatives?

This is just one of the topics I cover in my NEW COURSE: Resilient Dog. Link in Bio!
