As a pet owner, do you wonder what you’re really feeding your dog? Was your canine a victim of the 2004 or 2007 Menu Pet Food Recall? Does your dog suffer from allergies? Did your dog get diagnosed with Cancer? Why did your vet recommend a “special” diet your dog doesn’t really like? Are you spending a fortune on your pet’s food?

Pet Food has become a true dilemma for many dog and cat owners! Ever think about home cooking for your pets but worried about making a mistake?

As a practicing holistic veterinarian for many years, many of my pet patients want to give their pets the very best, especially when it comes to pet food. The problem is how to figure out whats best for your pet.

This will be the first of my pet food series on Homemade Pet Diets:

Pawsitively Healthy Homemade Canine Cuisine…made with People Food

Poochys Pork Butts with Black Rice-n-Broccoli Florets

Step 1: Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil in a Dutch oven pot

Step 2: Sear two, three pound Organic Pork Butts, preferably the BONELESS CUT Ends, in a Dutch Oven and sear them on both sides until brown.
This also releases the porks natural flavors and juices.

Step 3: Add 4 Cups of distilled or filtered water to the seared pork.

Step 4: Place your Covered Dutch Oven containing the seared pork butts and water in your oven and cook (covered) at 350 degrees for 4 hours.

Step 5: After four hours the Pork will easily shred. Shred the pork and then add the 16 ounces of black rice. There will be flavored water and natural tasty juices left over in the Dutch oven that haven’t evaporated because the tight fitting lid retains the juices and flavor.

Ever wonder how some dogs are able to help human diabetics by sensing low blood sugar levels? How can certain canines assist epileptics by tugging on their pants just before a seizure is about to occur? Have you heard the story about the firefighter who’s dog saved his life by refusing to go out for a walk just minutes before his owner had a heart attack?

Pet Longevity is attributed to 70% to lifestyle and 30% to genetics. Up to 90% of diseases in pets are due to the degenerative processes associated with aging. Research validates the fact that optimal nutritional supplementation can help deter and slow the pet aging process, stay active longer and enhance his or her quality of life.

Balanced pet diets are essential, but alone they cannot provide your dog or cat with the optimal levels of nutrients his body needs. In fact, for example, just to obtain adequate levels of vitamin E, your dog would need to eat 5000 calories-a-day. Consuming this many calories is detrimental to your dog’s health and could quickly lead to obesity and several other canine and feline health-related problems.

Signs of Pet Aging in Dogs and Cats:
To determine whether or not a pet is old, it’s important to distinguish between chronological and biological age. Chronological age is determined by the year in which your pet was born or the number of candles on your pet’s birthday cake.

Pet Aging begins at maturity; when your pet’s body’s systems start to slow down-when cells deteriorate faster than the body can repair them. It is a progressive decline in mental and physical functioning and appearance.

Signs of pet aging occur slowly. Their detection requires a pet owners close observation and keen eye.

Before beginning your pets longevity program use Dr. Carol’s pet anti-aging checklist to identify signs of aging in your pet. Re-evaluate your pet 30-60 days later and decide for yourself.

* Weight Gain or Change in Appetite
* Changes in Skin and Hair Coat
* Excess Shedding
* Increased Urination
* Limping or loss of mobility
* Bad Breath
* Vision and/or Hearing Loss
* Behavioral Changes
* Decline in mental alertness, senility
* Loss of house training

Ronald Klatz, M.D., president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, refers to Dr. Carol as “One of the best and the brightest forward looking minds in the medical profession. A leader in this newly emerging veterinary specialty.”

Dr.Carol Osborne, DVM, is a pioneer in pet anti-aging medicine and longevity research for dogs and cats. From her research, she has developed and patented a 6 step revolutionary approach to pet health and wellness that optimizes longevity in dogs and cats and offers up to a 30% increase in healthy pet life spans.

Fellow Pet Lovers,

I wanted to share the latest update regarding Pet Diabetes and the Vetsulin Class Action Law Suit. The FDA has finally announced the fact that the Vetsulin Critical Need Program and Vetsulin is no longer available to treat pet diabetes in dogs or cats.

Veterinarians and diabetic pet owners must now transition their dogs and cats to another type of  insulin. For the vast majority of diabetic dogs and diabetic cats, DNA based insulin, available in a variety of formulations is available through veterinarians, at Walmart, as well as at most local pharmacies.

The law firm handling the Vetsulin Law Suit for affected Diabetic Pets asked me to share this letter:

The $29 Million Dollar Vetsulin Class Action Law Suit is being handled by the law firm Murry & Murray Co., L.P.A. Richard Kerger serves as legal counsel for diabetic pet owners affected by Vetsulin in an action pending in the Federal Court in Toledo, Ohio in which pet owners whose diabetic pets were injured by defective Vetsulin have sued the manufacturer, Intervet Schering-Plough and it’s parent company, Merck.

This has been filed as a $29 Million Dollar Vetsulin Class Action Law Suit, however discussions are currently underway which may lead to a resolution of this matter on an individual, rather than class basis.

The owners of diabetic pets adversly affected by Vetsulin may be able to recover part or all the expences they incurred.  Adverse Vetsulin effects diabetic pets may have suffered include blindness, cataracts, kidney and/or liver failure, and death. Diabetic pet owners must contact the law firm at Kergerlaw.com ASAP, before Vetsulin settlement discussions have ended.

Taffy pet chews manufactured by Merrick Pet Care have been recalled due to possible Salmonella bacterial contamination.

Merrick Pet Care of Amarillo, Texas, issued the recall of Jr. Texas Taffy pet treats (UPC 02280827077, all lots up to and including No. 10364) because these pet treats may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria.

The Jr. Texas Taffy pet chews were shipped to pet distributors and pet retailers from coast to coast across the country.

Pet owners who have purchased the tainted Jr. Texas Taffy pet treats can return the unused portions to the place of purchase for a full refund, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Pet owners with questions about the tainted pet treats may contact Merrick directly at 1-800-664-7387.

Salmonella bacteria are highly contagious and are transmissible to other pets and as well as people. Pet Diarrhea with or without blood and vomiting are the cardinal signs. The diarrhea can be quite severe, leading to dehydration which without treatment may be fatal.

Pets sickened and/or suspected of ingesting these treats should be taken to their veterinarian and people experiencing any symptoms should see their physician.

Salmonella Therapy involves medications to clear the diarrhea, fluid replacement to promote normal hydration and nursing care to restore normal health for pets and people. Hospitalization is required in many cases.

Salmonella pet infections in dogs and cats can cause signs which can include lethargy and diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some pets may only have a decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise apparently healthy pets can be asymptomatic carriers and spread Salmonella bacteria to other animals and people.

Pet owners are urged to contact their veterinarian if their dog and/or cat may have consumed or come into contact with the recalled pet chews.

Salmonella is considered to be a Zoonotic Disease which means it may be transmitted from pets to people. Pet owners who may have touched the tainted treats and/or contacted the any surfaces exposed to them are at risk of becoming infected with Salmonella bacteria.

Avoid possible Salmonella contamination by practicing proper hygiene. Washing your hands well and disinfecting pet bowls with bleach is helpful to minimize contamination and spread of this bacteria.

Careful disposal of the pet treats in a covered trash receptacle is also recommended to prevent potential spread of this zoonotic bacteria.

Pet owners and household members especially at risk include the elderly, immune compromised individuals and infants.

Signs of  Salmonella infections in people may include:  nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.

Salmonella bacterial infections can also become more severe and result in arterial infections, heart infections referred to as endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms.  People  exhibiting these signs after having contact with the recalled pet chews should contact their health care provider ASAP.

Pet owners who have purchased the Jr. Texas Taffy pet chews can return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund.  Consumers can contact Merrick Pet Care at 800-664-7387, Monday-Friday, 8-5 CST.
