Have you ever had a conversation with your veterinarian about your pet's diet? If you take your dog or cat to a conventional veterinary practice, the answer may well be "no." If you've never heard a peep from your vet about nutrition, you may be wondering why. The fact is, many traditional vets absolutely loathe talking about nutrition with pet parents. The veterinary industry is trying to encourage vets to conduct nutritional assessments on their patients, because many pet owners are confused, concerned and searching online for information. There are very few practicing board-certified veterinary nutritionists, and many have close ties to processed pet food manufacturers, making their advice and recommendations questionable. Many holistic and integrative veterinarians are well-informed about species-appropriate nutrition and can help you customize a balanced diet for your pet that falls within your budget.

Claw and claw bed diseases are relatively uncommon, affecting just over 1% of dogs and 2% of cats. However, they can lead to considerable discomfort and, though they are usually confined to the claw area, may also be a sign of systemic disease. Claw problems in your pet may be caused by injury, bacterial and fungal infections, parasites, metabolic or autoimmune disease. If only one claw is affected, injury is the likely cause; if multiple claws are affected there may be a systemic underlying cause. Symptoms of claw disease include abnormal claw color, softened or rough claws, inflamed claw bed and pain in your pet’s paws.

Chronic vomiting in cats is unfortunately so common that many pet parents and even some veterinarians view it as "normal" behavior. However, in my professional opinion, chronic vomiting, even in kitties with hairballs, is a sign something's wrong and needs to be investigated. After all, big cats in the wild don't routinely vomit. Additional causes of vomiting in cats include problems with diet and feeding habits, enzyme deficiencies and toxin ingestion. Helping a chronically vomiting cat requires identifying the cause/s behind the digestive upset and then making appropriate dietary/lifestyle changes and/or resolving underlying medical issues.

Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal form of poisoning that can result from eating spoiled raw meat, dead animals, or decaying vegetable matter infected with the Clostridium botulinum type C neurotoxin. Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic, spore-forming, motile bacterium with the ability to produce the neurotoxin botulinum. Botulism causes weakness that can progress to paralysis of all four limbs. Other clinical signs include trouble chewing and swallowing, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Treatment includes giving a type C anti-toxin and supportive care depending on the severity of symptoms. To prevent botulism, pets should never have access to spoiled raw meat or animal carcasses.

Bananas have been a part of people's diet for thousands of years.

Sadly, estimates are that over half of kitty companions 10 years and older suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is also referred to as chronic renal disease or chronic renal failure. There are many causes of CKD in cats, but one of the most common and preventable influences is a dry food diet. The prescription “renal diets” recommended by many veterinarians are also dry processed diets that provide very little moisture and poor-quality protein to kitty patients in desperate need of food loaded with moisture and animal protein. Ideally, CKD cats should be fed excellent-quality, fresh food diets formulated specifically to address renal disease. There are also natural supplements that can be very beneficial for cats with CKD.

A basal cell tumor is a slow-growing overgrowth of cells on the outer layer of the skin. They can be either benign or malignant, but most are benign. In dogs, basal tumors are usually found on the head, neck, or forelimbs. In cats, they can develop almost anywhere on the body. These tumors are typically firm bumps that may be attached by a stalk. They can range in size from less than 1 centimeter to up to 10 centimeters in diameter. Malignant tumors are most often seen in older cats, and appear flatter than benign tumors. A confirming diagnosis is made through microscopic examination of tissue through either a fine-needle aspiration or a biopsy. The standard treatment for both benign and malignant basal cell tumors is surgery, which provides a complete cure if the entire tumor can be excised.

Ticks were harvested from 1,494 dogs and 336 cats for one of the largest tick studies ever. Certain species are expanding their territory. Ticks are now year-round pests, and they can be carried indoors on clothing and pets. One thing that hasn't changed? How I recommend protecting your pet. A recent large-scale study reveals new findings about tick parasitism in dogs and cats; unfortunately, it’s likely these results will be used to even more heavily market chemical pest preventives to pet parents While interesting, these new findings change nothing with regard to my professional recommendations for protecting dogs and cats from tick-borne illness Conventional veterinarians recommend chemical preventives during tick season; I don't agree with the automatic use of chemicals as a means of controlling nature Before you decide to use a chemical preventive to protect your pet from ticks, consider alternatives that are both effective and non-toxic If you must use a chemical preventive, take precautions to protect your pet from adverse reactions and toxicity Article link: https://bit.ly/48mFgtU Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3DMX1nS Website: https://bit.ly/3s0cHlh Podcast: https://bit.ly/3KwKSr1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BarkWhiskers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bark_whiskers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bark_whiskers Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@barkandwhiskers Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/barkwhiskers/

They don't do it because they think it's yummy or to gross you out. But there are a number of reasons why they might do it. Address the root cause, of course. But what you really want to know is how to stop this bizarre behavior. And there's really only one answer for that. Dogs don’t engage in coprophagia (poop-eating) because they like the taste or to gross out their owners. Many dogs sample poop in an effort to correct a digestive insufficiency or microbiome imbalance. Dogs fed a biologically inappropriate dry diet are more often poop eaters than dogs fed a nutritionally balanced, fresh and human-grade diet. Sometimes coprophagia is behavioral in nature, especially among puppy mill dogs and dogs living in kennel situations. If your dog is a poop eater, one of the most effective ways to curb the behavior is to simply clean up after him as soon as he eliminates, and supervise him in situations where he could encounter the feces of other pets or wildlife.

Monitoring your pup's bathroom activity is the easiest way to know if she's feeling under the weather. If you see any of these 7 specific types of stool, it might be something mild or something serious enough to warrant a visit to your vet. An excellent way to stay on top of your dog’s health is to monitor what comes out of him, otherwise known as feces/stool/poop. It’s important to know your dog’s “normal” when it comes to poop. The most obvious symptom of a health problem in dogs is diarrhea, which has several characteristics that vary depending on the cause. There are several potential causes of diarrhea in dogs, ranging from a change in diet to cancer. It’s time to call the veterinarian if the diarrhea doesn’t resolve on its own in a day or so, or if your dog is showing other signs of illness.
