Observing that medical advances haven't resulted in healthier pets, Dr. Judy decided to forge her own path. Today this Game Changer treats and prevents tumors and other malignancies with remarkable success by supporting the body's natural healing ability. Today’s Pet Game Changer is veterinarian Dr. Judy Jasek, owner of Animal Healing Arts, an integrative telemedicine practice in Littleton, CO. Dr. Judy learned early in her 35-years-and-counting career that she needed to go far beyond her conventional medicine training to provide more options, and most importantly, hope, to her patients and their humans. Dr. Judy’s veterinary toolbox has grown quite large over her years in practice; at least half her patients these days are pets with cancer whose owners are looking for alternative therapies.

Today I have a very special guest, Dr. Barbara Royal. Dr. Royal is a holistic veterinarian who practices small animal medicine and rehabilitation therapy in Chicago. She’s also an author (we’ll be discussing her latest book in an upcoming video) and President-Elect of the board of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Foundation (AHVMF). Dr. Barbara Royal, a holistic veterinarian, author and President-Elect of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Foundation (AHVMF) sits down with Dr. Becker to discuss holistic and integrative medicine and the role of the AHVMF. Much of what is considered holistic or alternative medicine is actually based on simple common sense. Many pet owners ultimately discover that the concepts of an integrative approach to treating their dog, cat or other companion animal make sense and are in fact easier to comprehend than many conventional medical approaches. Dr. Royal’s top three holistic health tips for pet owners include biologically appropriate nutrition as the foundation, exercise for the body and mind, and avoiding over-medicating and over-vaccinating your pet. The AHVM Foundation’s “Be One in a Million” fundraising efforts are focused on raising money for independent research into pet nutrition and alternative therapies, and funding education for vet students and practicing DVMs who are interested in providing an integrative approach to the care of their patients. Between now and March 17, 2013, $1 donated to the AHVM Foundation will be automatically tripled. That’s right – Mercola Healthy Pets will contribute $2 for every $1 donation to the foundation from March 11 through March 17, 2013.

Just reading about what happens to a rabies-infected animal is extremely disturbing, but as a pet parent, you must know what to look for if your pet gets into a fight or is attacked by a wild animal. The rabies virus is a dire, usually fatal inflammatory infection that attacks the brain and central nervous system. In the U.S., the rabies virus is most often transmitted to pets through a bite from an infected wild animal. Once the virus reaches the brain, the infected animal will experience from one to three phases of the infection and associated symptoms. Diagnosis of rabies in living, symptomatic animals involves a brief quarantine period and fluid samples. Prevention can be achieved with a well-timed initial vaccine against the virus, followed by re-vaccinations as required by law or titer tests for at-risk pets.

Most dogs eat grass from time to time; the question is, why? Dogs who graze on grass may be trying to relieve digestive upset; they may also be seeking certain nutrients or plant compounds that offer health benefits. If your dog regularly eats large amounts of grass, make an appointment with your veterinarian, and consider upgrading her diet to help provide all the nourishment her body needs.

Dr. Judy Morgan has dedicated her life to caring for animals — and now she’s focused on educating every person she can on how to help their pets lead long, healthy lives. Nominated for a Healthy Pets Game Changer Award by Donna, Dr. Morgan started out like many veterinarians — bored and frustrated by the lack of tools to help her patients thrive. After an initial journey into chiropractic care, Dr. Morgan’s eyes were opened to integrative veterinary care and the power of healthy food. Dr. Morgan has countless examples of animals’ lives turned around by holistic, integrative care, including dietary changes; even their owners often get healthier as a result. While Dr. Morgan retired from clinical practice in 2020, she remains active in the holistic veterinary community. It’s her passion to educate others and share the power of natural strategies for helping animals to stay well and heal from disease.

It's a big mistake to wait until every last symptom shows up. By then there's no holding back, and it often takes heavy meds for the rest of your pet's life to control. Too many vets gloss over this key early warning sign. Dogs don't suddenly wake up with this, so this is important. Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism) is a condition characterized by an ongoing release of too much cortisol by the adrenal glands. Cushing’s can produce a variety of diverse symptoms, including increased thirst and urination, hair loss and abdominal weight gain. Typical Cushing’s disease involves the overproduction of cortisol and can be either adrenal dependent, or more commonly, pituitary dependent; ‘atypical’ Cushing’s involves the overproduction of aldosterone or sex hormones. Many veterinarians disregard elevations in serum Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), an enzyme commonly out of range with Cushing’s patients, and a common reason why many cases are diagnosed only after the disease is full-blown. Cushing’s happens over time, so identifying pre-Cushing’s syndrome as early as possible and reducing the risk for full-blown disease is the best approach.

You've noticed your older dog doesn't seem to hear as well as he used to. With humans, hearing impairment can be one of the biggest predictors of dementia. Is that so with dogs, too? Know the five classic signs of cognitive decline in dogs and five ways to help your pup stay mentally sharp. Recent research by North Carolina State University has established that as is the case with human seniors, there appears to be a connection between hearing loss and dementia in senior and geriatric dogs. The study of 39 dogs, median age of 13 years, showed that a decreased ability to hear is closely associated with the onset of canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD). Of the dogs with normal hearing, 61% had no symptoms of CCD, while half of dogs with moderate hearing loss had moderate CCD symptoms, and of the dogs with severe hearing loss, none were CCD symptom-free, 38% showed moderate signs, and 50% had severe levels of CCD. There are many things you can do to help preserve your aging dog’s wellbeing and help her stay mentally sharp, including offering the right diet and supplements, encouraging regular exercise, skipping unnecessary vaccines, and scheduling twice-yearly wellness exams.

Today’s Pet Game Changer is Mikayla Raines, founder of the SaveAFox Rescue, dedicated to improving the lives of surrendered, abandoned, and abused domestic foxes bred in captivity either as pets or at fur farms. It was a gray fox rescued by her mother, a wildlife rehabilitator, that sparked young Mikayla’s passion for foxes. After becoming a licensed wildlife rehabilitator herself, and also training as a veterinary technician, Mikayla ultimately chose to follow her dream and create SaveAFox Rescue. These days, Mikayla spends her time working with staff, volunteers, and other rescues to give homeless captive-born foxes everything they need to live their best lives.

This oil is a powerful anti-inflammatory, and a terrific way to support your pet's immune system and overall health, but it's been given a bad rap in recent years. Not only is it one of the best topical therapies, but it's also excellent for brushing teeth, staving off doggy dementia and much more. Carmina O’Connor and Charisa Antigua are twin sisters and the entrepreneurs behind CocoTherapy, a line of organic coconut oil products. In the Philippines, Carmina and Charisa were raised with an understanding of the nourishing and healing properties of coconut oil; now in the U.S., the sisters have grown their family’s third generation business into a flourishing enterprise. Coconut oil can be used to soothe and heal a wide range of skin issues in pets; given orally, it offers tremendous health benefits thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. MCT oil is also beneficial for slowing canine cognitive decline and can help reduce seizure potential in epileptic dogs.

He didn't expect to find this clue on his own two dogs' fur, but when he did, what he went on to uncover will alarm you about what your own dog or cat might be eating (most pets ARE fed this type of food). Find out exactly what variety of food he won't feed his dogs again... Dr. Becker interviews Dr. Robert Turesky, a research scientist for the Division of Environmental Health Sciences at the New York State Department of Health, on his study of hair analysis to detect the presence of specific carcinogens in cooked meat. As a test, Dr. Turesky analyzed the fur of his own dogs and much to his surprise, discovered the presence of one of the carcinogens he is researching. Since his dogs don’t eat grilled steaks or burgers, it seemed clear they were being exposed through their own processed pet food diet. Dr. Becker discovered that including Dr. Turesky’s published study, there appear to be only two studies in existence that address the potential for carcinogenic substances in processed pet food. When we consider the fact that most dogs and cats eat commercial processed diets their entire lives, and when we also take into account the escalating incidence of cancer in pets – especially dogs – it seems this topic is deserving of more attention. Based on Dr. Turesky’s findings on carcinogen levels in cooked poultry-based protein sources, added to what we know about the extreme processing dry pet food undergoes, it seems the worst thing you can feed your beloved dog or cat is a poultry-based kibble. As always, fresh raw, freeze-dried or air-dried meat-based diets, well-balanced, are Dr. Becker’s recommendation for healthy dogs and cats.

Researchers have recently confirmed that canine degenerative myelopathy, or DM, may be the doggy equivalent of human ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Know the breeds most affected and the early red flags to watch for to help your pet live through this irreversible and incurable disease. A 2020 study provides evidence that dogs with canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) are best served by an integrative multimodal treatment protocol started as early as possible. Laser therapy, coupled with underwater treadmill therapy and other types of physical rehabilitation, can be tremendously beneficial for dogs with DM. The primary symptom of DM is loss of coordination in the hind limbs, with eventual complete paralysis; large breed dogs from 7 to 14 years of age are at highest risk. Unfortunately, DM is irreversible and incurable; the treatment goal is to proactively manage the characteristics of the disease and preserve good quality of life for as long as possible. Regular exercise, a fresh food diet, appropriate nutritional supplements, low-dose Naltrexone, and a customized physical rehabilitation protocol, including acupuncture, can greatly enhance both quality of life and lifespan for dogs with degenerative myelopathy.

It can clean your dog's toys in a flash, bathe your pet without getting wet, banish doggy smell in minutes, and even help clean up messes on hard-to-clean surfaces. Get the know-how on using this wondrous material to its maximum for a cleaner, fresher smelling home and pet. Baking soda is an old-new remedy for a myriad of problems, including pet smells from your dog and his favorite hangouts, and bathing his toys. If your dog shows up with dirt on her fur — or worse, a bad smell — baking soda comes in handy for cleaning and deodorizing, using both the “dry bath” method and as a conventional bath solution. Long known as a soothing therapy for pain, baking soda can even relieve soreness from a sting if your pooch has a close encounter with a bee.

It could be an early warning sign of this uncomfortable syndrome. Discover its causes, what to ask your vet to do, whether you should ever opt for surgery, and the treatment you should never use. And most importantly, how to make your pet more comfortable. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or KCS, is also known as dry eye syndrome. Dry eye is a condition in which the tear mixture, which consists of oil, mucus and mostly water, is absent the water. Only oil and mucus are being secreted, which is why pets with KCS have thick, yellow discharge from their eyes. There are a number of causes of dry eye. The most common is immune mediated destruction of tissue in tear-producing glands. Other causes include canine distemper, herpes-related feline upper respiratory infection, trauma, certain antibiotics and anesthesia, and removal of the third eyelid lacrimal gland. A diagnosis of KCS requires a Schirmer tear test to measure the amount of tear production from the tear ducts and how much is available for the eye. A low level points to KCS. Your vet may also use a fluorescein stain to check the eyes for abrasions or ulcerations. A sample of aqueous fluid may be taken to measure the bacterial growth in the eye and whether there may be an underlying infection as well. Treatment of dry eye typically involves topical medications like artificial tears and lubricants that will be necessary in most cases for the rest of your pet’s life. If an underlying disease, allergy or infection is identified as the cause of the dry eye, it will also need to be treated. Owners of pets with KCS need to keep the eyes clean and free of discharge. Animals with very poor tear production will need their eyes lubricated many times each day. While these pets can become high maintenance in terms of keeping their eyes moist, it’s the only way to keep your companion feeling comfortable.

The sounds, sights and smells of nature have many therapeutic benefits. Find out how indulging in this perfectly natural activity for 30 to 60 minutes can improve both your pet's well-being and your own. Nature therapy, aka forest bathing, is the practice of immersing oneself in the sights, sounds and smells of nature for improved health in body and mind A feature of nature therapy is grounding or earthing — putting the body in direct contact with the earth's surface — which may also provide both physiological and behavioral benefits Grounding can benefit the body; walking barefoot outside or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors on a grounding mat can improve sleep and may reduce pain. Studies also show that grounding reduces inflammation and improves circulation The best way to ground yourself and your pet is to spend time outdoors with your bare feet and your pet's paws in direct contact with the earth; if you or your loved ones can't get outside regularly, grounding mats can be used indoors for both human and furry family members Article link: https://bit.ly/47zgTaX 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/

A devastating illness that hits 8,000 to 10,000 pets per year, the early symptoms can be subtle and hard to recognize. Pay close attention as your pet grows older, especially if he falls into one of these high-risk groups. Plus, what to do if you can't or won't do surgery. Osteosarcoma is a very aggressive bone cancer that is diagnosed in 8,000 to 10,000 dogs annually The disease is rare in cats and is seen most often in large and giant breed dogs. Dogs over 90 pounds account for about 33% of osteosarcoma cases Early symptoms of bone cancer are often subtle and can include swelling, intermittent lameness, and fractures. As the disease progresses, pain and lameness rapidly increase Osteosarcoma is diagnosed via x-rays and tissue samples. The cancer is then categorized as stage I, II, or III (the most advanced stage) Unfortunately, osteosarcoma has a poor prognosis. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and extend quantity and quality of life for as long as possible Article link: https://bit.ly/3LWLxm6 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/

It can be alarming to find out that your pet's dry hacking cough or 'vomiting' isn't due to hairballs - or may not even be routine vomiting. Especially if you notice these other signs, such as wheezing or difficulty breathing, see your veterinarian immediately. The dry hacking cough in feline asthma is often mistaken for vomiting or coughing up hairballs, with the result that some pet parents are caught by surprise by a diagnosis of asthma. Beyond a dry hacking cough, other common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, labored breathing, and exercise intolerance; the symptoms of asthma in cats are also seen in several other serious diseases, so a quick and accurate diagnosis is crucial. The condition can be triggered by irritants inhaled both indoors (e.g., cat litter dust) and outside (e.g., grass, tree and weed pollen). Eliminating triggers, cleaning up your cat’s environment and diet, and a natural healing protocol can improve symptoms and potentially reduce the need for drugs to effectively manage your pet’s asthma.

Cancer is the No. 1 cause of death in adult dogs, but little guidance exists on the optimal time to begin cancer screenings in canines. Typically, cancer screening occurs at your pet’s annual wellness visits, when your veterinarian should check for any unusual lumps or growths and conduct certain blood and urine tests. To find out the optimal age to initiate cancer screening in dogs, researchers analyzed data from 3,452 dogs with cancer. The median age at cancer diagnosis was 8.8 years. Males tended to be diagnosed at younger ages than females, and neutered dogs tended to be diagnosed when they were significantly older than intact dogs. Weight was inversely associated with age at cancer diagnosis, so the heavier the dog, the earlier they were diagnosed. The team suggested starting cancer screening for all dogs at 7 years, but starting at age 4 for dog breeds that tend to be diagnosed at an earlier age.

Can help boost your pet's ability to fight cancer, shed toxins, cleanse the blood, and more. The nutrients are amazingly bioavailable, far better than any supplement. So it's worth trying to get them to eat it. How to do it right, whether or not your pet loves the first bite. Dogs, and to a lesser extent cats need vegetables for the roughage, phytonutrients, and antioxidants they provide, which mimics what would be found in their prey’s digestive tracts One of the best ways to provide vegetables to pets is by fermenting them. Fermented veggies are optimally digestible for dogs and cats, and they also offer powerful probiotic benefits Fermented vegetables are also potent chelators and detoxifiers, and the fermentation process makes the nutrients inside the veggies more bioavailable. Also, the lactic acid produced by fermentation is a chemical repressor that fights cancer cells without harming healthy cells Some pets willingly eat fermented vegetables, while others need a bit of prodding. Even if your pet is wild about her fermented veggies right off the bat, it’s important to start with very small amounts and build up gradually to 1 to 3 teaspoons per 20 pounds of body weight. It’s also important not to force vegetables on a pet who simply refuses to eat them If you’re interested in learning how to ferment your own veggies, we’ve included a how-to video demonstration by Dr. Mercola and Julie, a Mercola staff member Article link: https://bit.ly/3LtSVFv 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/

Ann has a Master's in counseling, but through the loss of her beloved Golden Retriever she found her true calling, and switched her focus to pet loss and bereavement counseling. Topics we discuss today include society's stigmatization of pet loss, knowing when to seek counseling and how to go about it, and how counseling can help grieving pet parents process the depth of their loss and begin to heal.

While certain breeds (including America's most popular breed) may be more susceptible to developing cruciate ligament rupture, the reality is, this painful and debilitating condition can occur in any dog, no matter the breed, size or age. Now there's a way to know your dog's risk with 98% accuracy. A genetic test is now available that screens for risk of cruciate ligament rupture in Labrador retrievers. For about $250, the genetic screening evaluates multiple gene variations that, in combination, predict a dog’s genetic risk of cruciate ligament rupture with 98% accuracy. Knowing in advance if your dog is at high risk — before cruciate ligament rupture — allows for personalized interventions that could help reduce the risk and even prevent the condition from occurring.
