Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I've been posting because we've moved across the country back to Cape Town. We've experienced our fair share of dog health problems along the way, but none since getting our hounds onto a healthy raw food diet.
I'm not kidding you! By feeding a healthy raw food diet containing meat, bones, vegetables and oils and fats, not to mention eggs, our dogs have been the picture of health.
It wasn't unusual for us to be at the vet 2 or even 3 times a month with various dog health problems. It was costing us a fortune and we where searching for a way to reverse the trend. The whole family got involved in finding a solution. Eventually a vet who we really trust told us about his findings. According to him, it's only in the last 15 years or so, that he has experienced the multitude of strange symptoms, cancer, weight problems, tooth decay and strange behaviour from his canine and feline patients. Yes, you guessed it, it's been that long since the introduction of highly processed animal feeds into the vet practices and specialist pet shops. It's not a coincidence.
The best thing you can do for your pet is get them off the commercial poison you are feeding them now. That includes all the high priced ones too. Our Pyrenean Mountain Dog bitch was put in a kennel prior to flying to our new home. She spent a total of 2 weeks in kenneling and we had no choice but to let them feed her commercial kibbles. She came home with the most horrendous ear discharge that smelled like it came from beyond the grave. Despite drops and pills, the vet at the kennel couldn't sort it out and we where told that this breed is prone to this sort of thing and she would require surgery to correct her ear-canal. What a lot of nonsense!
We put her straight onto a raw food diet with some extra supplements and washed out her ears with a mild ear wash. In 3 days the discharge was gone and by the end of the week the raw patches inside her ear where healing fine. So much for the state of current veterinary practice. The raw food, species specific diet saved my dearest pet from an uncomfortable condition that she should never have been in, in the first place.
Do yourself and your best friend a favour and change to a raw food diet now. It will save you money, prolong your pets life and health and the change in behaviour and temperament will astound you. Your days of dog health problems will be gone for ever.
There is some excellent advice on complete dog training here.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Health Problems
There are many dog health questions for which suitable explanation is required for the pet owners. They may be caring their beloved pet animal, dog as informed by the neighbour or friend etc. The best thing that they can do is to get their doubts cleared from the veterinarian. Here is the discussion about few dog health questions.
How deal with constipation of a puppy?
It is the normal behavior of the puppy not going to the toilet for couple of days as he/she will be nervous when they have moved in to a new place. If the puppy is drinking and eating normally, there is no need for tension. The pet owner can wait for another twenty four hours. In the mean time, make the pup walk for some time. Try to give natural laxative like banana. Also make sure that you are giving the same food that the breeder was giving. Even after all these, constipation persists, and then takes the dog to the veterinarian to find out the cause and get the animal relieved from constipation.
What should I do incase my dog is constantly licking his rectum area?
The dog licking at the rectum area indicates that there is some problem with the anal gland. Anal gland infections are very common in pet animals especially dogs. Impaction of the anal gland is possible if the stool is soft or if the gland is overactive. The pet owner must understand that some dogs needs expression of the anal sacs while some other dogs do not require that in their life time. Excessive licking in the rectal area is the indication that the dog requires anal sac expression. Bad smell and disturbance in the bowel movements are the other indications that inform us that the dog require anal sac expression.
Do the dogs really need exercise?
The dogs do require exercise for healthy life. The duration of the time required for exercise varies from breed to breed. In general the younger dogs can manage exercise better than the older dogs as they will fitter and healthier than the older ones. Besides the heart problems and other health problems will be much less in younger dog. But the point to be noted here is that the younger dogs will damage their joints and ligaments if the exercise is excessive and wrong. The pet owner must feed the dog extra when they are under exercise regime. These dogs will need extra salt as the same will be lost more during workouts.
The list of dog health questions is ever burgeoning one, for more information it is better to get in touch with the veterinarian.

7 Secrets To A Healthy Pet Food
The ongoing saga over dog food is due to the current dog health problems we are experiencing. Almost daily I get questions related to dog health and dog health problems. The root cause is the food that they eat. You don't need to be a food scientist to know that if you feed junk you will get problems. I came across the article below which answers some of your dog health problem questions with reference to the dog food that you buy in the shop.
I never feed commercial food to my dogs, I just love them too much. It's like giving your kids quick TV dinners every day instead of proper healthy food. Read it and be amazed at what the manufacturers are getting away with...
The on-going pet food recall has pet owners shaking in their boots! What food is safe for my pet? What food is REALLY healthy? Keep reading to learn seven valuable secrets to finding the absolute best food for your dog or cat.
Secret #1… All pet foods use descriptive words like choice and premium, though few of them actually use premium or choice ingredients. The ‘secret' is per the rules of the pet food industry, no pet food can make any references on their label or advertising as to quality or grade of ingredients. When related to pet food, the word 'premium' or 'choice' DOES NOT imply that the ingredients in the food are premium or choice. With pet foods, premium does not (can not) describe the food nor does it (can it) describe the quality of the food. It is a marketing term and that is all. Per the industries own rules regulations, "There are no references to ingredient quality or grade" (regulation PF5 d 3). So, words like premium, or choice, or quality are just marketing or sales terms, don't use them to influence your buying decisions.
Secret #2… If I can compare ‘people' food to pet food for just a second, we all know there are different qualities of people food. There is White Castle (I love 'em!) and there is Outback Steak House (another favorite). Both restaurants serve meat and potatoes. At White Castle for under $3.00 you get a couple of hamburgers and fries. While at Outback you can get a steak and baked potato for around $16.00. Both serve beef and potato - yet you already realize that there are huge nutritional differences between a fast food hamburger and a steak…right?
The problem in the pet food industry – is that most pet owners don't think in the same terms when it comes to pet food. They don't think in terms that there are fast food types of pet foods and there are sit down restaurant more nutritious types of pet foods. Now, imagine your pet eating this fast food type of food its' entire lifetime.
OK, so back to our two meals…if a chemical analysis of your meal at White Castle was compared to a chemical analysis of your meal at Outback – both would analyze with a percentage of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The choice cut of steak at Outback and the hamburger from White Castle both analyze as protein. The analysis doesn't measure quality of protein.
So here is the secret…All pet foods come with a Guaranteed Analysis stating the percentage of protein, fat, fiber and moisture in the food. The REAL secret lies in the quality of the percentages of protein, fat, and so on.
In a chemical analysis of a pet food – chicken feet would analyze as protein, although granted it provides very little nutrition. And as well, a cow that was euthanized (put to sleep) because of a disease that made it unfit for human consumption – would analyze as protein although that could be considered dangerous for consumption. Both of those things – chicken feet and a euthanized cow – are allowable ingredients and commonly used in pet food. You see the secret within the pet food industry is manufacturers have a WIDE OPEN door to where they obtain their ingredients. The only strict rule they must follow is an adult dog food must analyze with 18% protein and an adult cat food must analyze with 26% protein. Sources to acquire those particular percentages range from a ‘human grade' meat, to chicken feet, to euthanized animals, to grain proteins, to even man made chemical proteins and many variations in between.
So how can you know if your pet's food uses chicken feet or euthanized cows or if it contains human grade ingredients?
Secret #3… This big secret is found in ingredient definitions. All ‘people' food must meet particular USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines. The same is not true for pet food. Chicken feet and euthanized cows are NOT allowed in people food for obvious reasons – they have no nutritional value or they could be dangerous to consume. The same is NOT true for pet food. The only way to know if those chicken feet or euthanized cows are in your pet's food is to know what ingredients they can be used in.
The common pet food ingredient ‘Meat and Bone Meal' is basically a combination of many different discarded left-overs from the human food industry. Components of ‘meat and bone meal' can be anything from cow heads, stomachs, and intestines, to (horrifying but true) euthanized animals including cows, horses and dogs and cats. ‘Meat and bone meal' can also contain left-over restaurant grease, and diseased (including cancerous) meat tissues cut away from slaughtered animals. In other words, this commonly used ingredient is a mix of highly inferior and potentially dangerous left-overs from the human food industry.
The pet food ingredient ‘Meat By-Product' or ‘Meat By-Product Meal' is pretty much the same thing as ‘meat and bone meal'. Another similar ingredient to the above is ‘Animal Digest'.
As to the chicken feet I mentioned earlier – this item can be found in the ingredients ‘Chicken By-Product' or ‘Poultry By-Product' or ‘Chicken By-Product Meal' or ‘Poultry By-Product Meal'. Any left-overs in the chicken or poultry division – including but not limited to chicken feet, skin including some feathers, chicken or poultry heads, and intestines are found in these ingredients. BEFORE you purchase any pet food, flip the bag over and closely examine the list of ingredients. The above mentioned ingredients would be listed within the first five or ten ingredients. If you see ANY of those ingredients – it is my suggestion to NOT purchase that food. Remember – chicken feet and euthanized animals do analyze as protein. That is all that is required in pet food – just the correct analysis.
Secret #4… A very well kept secret of the pet food industry is the common use of chemical preservatives. BHA/BHT are very popular chemical preservatives used in pet food and science has linked them to tumors and cancer. Another common preservative is ethoxyquin which has known risks to cancer. You want a pet food that is preserved naturally – common natural preservatives are ‘natural mixed tocopherols' or ‘vitamin E'.
Secret #5… The very best food to provide to your pet is a well made food using human grade ingredients. That should be simple enough…How do you find that? Pet food manufacturers that are APHIS European certified assures you that ALL ingredients in their pet food are human grade. APHIS – Animal Plant Health Inspection Services – is a division of the USDA. APHIS European certification provides this pet food manufacturer with the opportunity to ship their foods/treats to Europe. When importing pet foods from the US, European countries demand that all ingredients are human grade and thus require this certification. Most pet food manufacturers that have APHIS European certification do not ship their products to Europe – they simply use this as a means to assure their customers to the higher quality of their ingredients.
Again, you WON'T see this listed on the label – it's not allowed. You must call the manufacturer and ask.
Secret #6… Minerals are a required ingredient in human diets as well as diets for our pets. Copper, Iron and Zinc are common minerals found in pet foods. Just as they are – copper, iron, and zinc are basically rocks, very difficult for anyone or any pet to utilize. Science has developed several ways to introduce minerals into the body (human and pet) for better absorption thus benefiting the individual far more. This scientific development is called chelating or proteinating and it's been around for years. Through the chelating or proteinating process minerals are absorbed about 60% better than just the minerals alone.
This secret is spotting the minerals in your pet food to see if they are chelated or proteinated. Notice the minerals on your pet food label, way down on the list of ingredients. You are looking for minerals that read ‘copper proteinate' or ‘chelated copper'.
Secret #7… This secret is called ‘friendly bacteria'. Although ‘friendly bacteria' sounds a little scary, the reason for it lies in your pets' intestinal system. A large portion of your pets' immune system is found within the intestinal system, thus keeping the intestines working properly keeps the immune system working properly. Looking at the fine print on your pet food label, this time you are looking for lengthy, scientific words like Lactobacillus Acidophilus or Bifidobacterium Thermophilum. If you do NOT see these words or some very similar, that pet food is not addressing the care of your pets' immune system.
Best wishes to you and your pet!

An Introduction To Dog Health Care
Dog owners should be voracious readers of books and materials on dog health care. They should be enthusiastic in asking questions at every visit to the vet. Dog health care is one important topic that should not be taken lightly by dog owners.
Dogs get sick from parasites, viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungus. These diseases and infections are sometimes fatal unless discovered and treated early. They sometimes cause chronic illness and damage organs of dogs. Veterinary researchers have developed drugs that reduce the effects of diseases and parasites. Some diseases affecting dogs are rabies and hepatitis parainfluenza. There are other viral diseases that may afflict dogs. To prevent dogs from getting sick, it is important that dog owners put a premium on their health by investing their time and money to go to the vet for vaccinations of their dogs.
Vaccinations work by stimulating the dog’s immune system to produce antibodies to fight against subsequent attack. Modified live vaccines can cause long immunity and facilitate development but may give rise to a mild illness. Killed vaccines are more stable and do not produce mild infections and have a longer shelf life, although the protection may not last very long.
When a mother dog is vaccinated, her puppies will get the same immunity when they drink her colostrum, found in her milk. Puppies generally get a series of immunity shots since it is not certain when that immunity from the mother’s milk wears off. After the initial puppy shots, vets recommend boosters at age one and subsequent boosters at six months, a year, and three years, depending on the disease and its prevalence in your area.
Vaccines can be given either separately or in combination. Some dogs, though, have varied reactions to vaccines and some dog owners and even veterinarians are questioning the principle of giving puppies so many vaccine shots. Researchers found out that dogs may be protected by more than a year by some vaccines. Some vets recommend three year intervals of administration of vaccines for older dogs that are not exposed to diseases. Still, it is agreed that vaccination is the first line of defense against deadly and debilitating diseases.

A Dog Health Problem Can Make For An Unhappy Pet?
Hi, this is my first post and I would like to thank you for visiting. I have always had pets and my favourite has always been my Pyrenean Mountain Dogs. These big lovable animals are fantastic with children and smaller pets like cats and chickens, in fact just about any other animal is safe when these gentle giants are around. They're difficult to train because they are so independent but make for amazing guard and companion dogs. They don't eat as much as you might expect. I've always had an interest in dog health care because when things go wrong with a Pyr they are usually quite big.
As with most pedigreed pets, my Pyrs have had some health issues. Most are related to the that they ate. I always thought that the premium commercial pet food was best. What a mistake. After being involved in a cat food manufacturing venture with my wife, we discovered the big secret concerning pet food. It's a secret they'd rather you didn't discover. It's all the junk they can get away with puting in your pet's food. Even poisons that are outlawed in human food.
We had changed our dogs onto a healthy raw food diet and wanted to manufacture a holistic cat food. It was then that we discovered how bad the ingredients in commercial pet foods are. Poisons abound and they aren't even allowed in human food. People don't realise that they're killing their pets by feeding this junk .
I thought I'd let you know that I've come across an awesome book that gives you all the details about how to feed your animals a heathy dog food diet that will ensure they live longer and are more healthy.
Check it out this amazing way to prepare the healthiest dog food , and let me know what you think.
I hope you come back soon as I am constantly on the lookout for tips and suggestions that will help you to enjoy your dogs so feel free to let me know how you keep them happy and healthy.
I'd love to hear from you if you have been able to use the resources here to solve your dog health problems.
Blessings to you all,
John
