Making positive health changes for our dogs and cats

It’s never too late (or too early) to make healthy changes in your pets diet and/or lifestyle.  Many people contact me after they have a problem and conventional treatments have not resolved the issues.  In most cases, I can still help these animals but it’s so much better to make choices that prevent problems in the first place.  This will save your pet from suffering, eliminate frustration for you, and of course save you money in the long run.

We all know that preventing a problem when it comes to health is so much better than reacting to one, but we are all guilty at times – myself included as I think we become complacent and so busy with everything else in life.  Often times we think we are doing everything right and it isn’t until a problem develops that we realize we could have done things differently.

For many of us, our pets are our companions and a part of our family so we want to provide the best that we can for them.  Excellent breeding practices along with the decisions made during the first two years of an animal’s life set the foundation for overall health.  Proper intake of quality proteins, vitamins and minerals are essential for dogs and cats to ensure wellness, energy, and longevity.  Equally important are the digestion and metabolism of these nutrients.  Minimum exposure to chemicals and vaccinations, as well as a lifestyle that stimulates both physical and mental abilities all contribute to overall health.
