I have always known that dogs are smart but there is another characteristic that is deeply seeded in the canine soul – compassion.
I know no other animal than a dog to jump to the rescue of his friends so selflessly and without thinking twice if their life is in danger.
My dog Skai regularly jumps to my rescue when I am swimming despite the fact that he much prefers a pasture to the ocean. I have seen dogs grieving their best friends, I have seen them protecting or saving children and I have also heard of stories where a dog ran to get help when their friends were injured.
As I am thinking of all the different situations, I can’t help myself thinking that dogs are in fact the most evolved life form on this planet. They without a doubt are the masters in showing us what love and compassion really is as you can see from the videos bellow.
All I want to do today is to say one big thank you to those dogs and humans who care… and make the lives of others safer and better.
Learn about weaning, feeding, supplements and natural approach to vaccination
While one could think that puppies are born with a clean slate, the reality is that they often carry “a baggage full of problems” from previous generations. These problems are not just genetic. It appears that puppies are also burdened by the imbalances and health issues of their parents that were exposed to excessive vaccination, poor nutrition, stress and the use of immune-suppressive drugs such as anti-inflammatory and corticosteroids .
I am saying this because many people who get a new dog question what they have done wrong while they really have done everything right. (more…)
I sense that this year will be the year of change.
First, I am happy to inform you that I have no more fear of loosing my veterinary license. This concern is very common among holistic practitioners, simply because the licensing bodies often recognize conventional medicine only.
I love the newly found freedom because it gives me an opportunity to share anything important with you, no matter what the opinion of the less open minded conventional circles is.
This year, I will be paying more attention to the intuitive part of healing, where the answers come with ease and clarity. I would like to teach you how to tap into your intuition, inner knowledge and healing energy that resides in all of us.
My original plan was to write about vaccines for adult dogs but because this is the last day of 2009, I felt like writing about something more fun. In the previous two blogs, I wrote about avoiding puppy mills and catteries and how to make sure that we do not over-vaccinate our animal friends. Your dogs happiness = health = big savings on vet bills
I never realized, how many people talk about their vet bills on Twitter.
While I sometimes joke that vets are still cheaper than most kitchen or bathroom reno’s or lawyer visits, vet bills can get out of control and seem never ending..
If you have ever complained about the cost of vet care, keep on reading, it may save you thousands of dollars.
In next few weeks and months, I would like to share with you a simple to follow plan of keeping your animal friends healthy and happy.
When I came to Canada, I worked for a vet who had a very short temper. When he was performing blood collections or other procedures and the animal would not stay still, he would pin it down and strangled it until its gums turned blue. I remember prying the vet’s hands off because I had grown to be less afraid.
This clinic also boarded animals sometimes for weeks, getting only two 15 minute walks, locked in a dark kennel room with the washer and dryer rumbling and the furnace going on and off. This colleague was later reported and reprimanded by the BC Veterinary Association that considered his behavior unacceptable.
I sense that this year will be the year of change.
