  • Grains – Ingredients in Dog Food

    from Whole Dog News

    on Wednesday March 9th, 2011 at 09:03 AM

    While this may come as a surprise to many, commercial pet food diets simply are not suited to the dogs and cats physical make up and metabolism. In other words, they are not biologically appropriate. Kibble and/or canned commercial pet foods are primarily made up of grain products that are processed at high temperatures to the point there no true nutrition is left from any ingredient.

    Why have grains become so ingrained in pet feeding? To the best of my knowledge and research, grains were...

    from Whole Dog News

    on Sunday February 20th, 2011 at 07:33 AM

    While this post contains old and well documented facts, there are still pet owners out there that are not aware of just how nasty processed pet food (kibble or canned) really is. My hope is that this little video will hopefully help open the eyes of those still feeding this garbage to their beloved, carnivore companions.

    Many still believe that kibble or canned food is some how nutritious and healthy for their pets and dont understand the fact that rendering does not destroy the hormones fed...

    from Whole Dog News

    Whats that you say? Arent vaccines supposed to protect our animals (and children) from disease? This is surely what we have all been indoctrinated into believing over the years. But where are the studies, the research the proof?

    Daily, veterinarians and animal naturopaths are seeing quite the opposite of disease free animals. Pets are presenting with allergies, yeast infections, eczema, atopy, autoimmune diseases, organ failure, neurological and behavioral problems, cancer and death! What do...

  • The Correlation between Rabies Vaccines and Hind-End Paralysis

    from Whole Dog News

    on Sunday January 16th, 2011 at 07:41 AM

    This is a great little blog post on the consideration of a correlation between rabies vaccines and hind-end paralysis.

    The Canine Health Census an on-going health survey of thousands of dogs in the UK discovered that 69% of dogs who developed rear-end paralysis did so within 3 months of being vaccinated. Of course correlation does not equate causation and that must always be kept in mind, but this is a very significant number in statistical terms and certainly indicates that the possibility...

    from Whole Dog News

    on Thursday January 13th, 2011 at 11:43 AM

    Below is a true story (the actual email in fact) that happens far too often and then goes un-reported and often never shared. I am re-posting this so that Serens life and suffering was not for nothing. That you become aware of just how toxic, how dangerous vaccines are. Just ONE puppy shot can do a lifetime of damage and often even death.

    At this time, Serens boss/owner does not want her name posted but hopefully, once she is over her grieving she will be forth coming with more details and...
