If you share your life with a dog, or a cat, you may have found the world of nutritional supplements to be a confusing impenetrable jungle. In fact, most people are so confused that they often resort to the extremes. They either use no supplements at all or fill their kitchen cabinets and counters with dozens of bottles. Almost everyday I am asked by clients for an opinion about supplements and my curiosity has led me to explore the supplement world which often reminds me of sailing uncharted ocean waters.
Many people believe that if they feed good quality food or the best natural food that their dogs or cats diet will be complete. This is not true.
Intensive agriculture has caused a severe degree of soil mineral and nutrient depletion which has caused deficiencies in the whole food chain including plants, herbivores and finally carnivores. We have seen sailors dying of scurvy, iodine deficiency causing goiter, vitamin B deficiency causing beri-beri, a neurologic disease and death. It is a paradox that most people and even medical practitioners do not ask the (more…)
Recently, I have had the pleasure to interview one of the Vancouver’s most talented healers, Ryan Carnahan on a very interesting topic of detox. Heavy metals are one of the most serious pollutant and disease causing factors out there. Learning how to detox naturally may ad months and years to your best friends life. I hope you will enjoy this interview.
With gratitude,
Dr. PD:
Hi Everyone, I have the pleasure to introduce you to Ryan Carnahan who has been very kind and agreed for me to interview him. He is a person who has a deep knowledge on the level of nutrition, supplements and energy healing and I would like you to hear a little about minerals and their (more…)
Yes, you are reading correctly and most likely are as amused as I am, the world’s very first sex toy for dogs was designed and successfully launched in France, the country of love.
I swear that originally I had no intention to write a blog on dogs and their sexuality. My very pure intention was to reply to a few questions of my readers about spay, neuter and false pregnancy and then I did some research online discovered a dog toy of a very different kind.
We all have seen dogs expressing themselves freely in many different ways. Sometimes to our amusement and at other times are embarrassed when Fido decides to hump the leg of our mother in law or a dignified official visitor.
So today, I would like to start a very public discussion on dog sexuality, holistic approach to false pregnancies, spay and neuter procedures and yes, the world’s first sex doll for dogs.
False pregancy
When I was a child we used to have a dachshund named Gerda. In fact she was on top of the children’s hierarchy when it came to my father’s rating because she adored him and never talked back.
Spaying dogs was not as common back than and I remember Gerda wearing special pants that my dad called “the heat pants.” They not only prevented the carpet from being spotted with blood but also the heat vents prevented undesired pregnancies. They were kind of a canine version of the chastity belt. (more…)
Recently I was asked to write an article for The Pet Connections magazine. First, I was thrilled because it was a great opportunity to reach a large number of like-minded people you and hopefully make a difference in the lives of the animals you live with.
Then I began to feel nervous because there is so much to talk about and only a few pages available. I asked myself, what (more…)
Quite a few people have asked me what to do to protect your pets from RADIOACTIVE FALL OUT and if they should use Potassium Iodide for their pets. While the risks of increased radiation in North America are low, it never hurts to learn the important facts.
What does Iodine do?
Following a radiological or nuclear event, radioactive iodine may be released into the air and then be breathed into the lungs. Radioactive iodine may also contaminate the local food supply and get into the body through food or through drink. When radioactive materials get into the body through breathing, eating, or drinking, we say that “internal contamination” has occurred.
In the case of internal contamination with radioactive iodine, the thyroid gland quickly absorbs this chemical. Radioactive iodine absorbed by the thyroid can then injure the gland. Because non-radioactive Iodine acts to block radioactive iodine from being taken into the thyroid gland, it can help protect this gland from injury.
What an Iodine supplement cannot do
Knowing what a good source of Iodine cannot do is also important. It cannot prevent radioactive iodine from entering the body. It can protect only the thyroid from radioactive iodine, not other parts of the body. It cannot reverse the
After 2 years of preparation, trials and adjustments, we will be soon launching our new all natural plant based mineral supplement.
We have been seeing some very positive changes in the animals who take it and it has become very obvious that our pets’ diet is not complete and that some minerals are generally missing.
So many of you are asking, when is Green Min coming to retail and I have good news. GreenMin has already been added into two brands of premium natural foods:
“Natural Instincts” and “3P Naturals.” Just look for the green min sticker in the freezers of your pet store. The retail version packaged in jars is coming soon along with our new GreenMin webpage that is being prepared as we speak.
For more information on Green Min you can view our temporary Green Min page – Click here.
Have you ever wondered if there is something missing in your animal friend’s diet?
How about minerals? How can you insure that your dog or cat is getting all the important nutrients needed for good health and longevity? Essential minerals are not always present in sufficient amounts, especially if your pet’s diet is limited to a few ingredients. Even if you feed a variety of foods, intensive agriculture and soil depletion can lead to serious health problems unnecessary suffering and expensive vet bills.
