This blog is about to move out of its mourning phase and spring into action.Today our education begins, with: Better Food for Dogs, Dr Pitcairn's Natural Health for Dogs & Cats and The Whole Pet Diet. These are just some of the books we've ordered, that we will read FOR you, so we can advise on what you should be feeding your animals. And we just signed up for a course in veterinary homeopathy.
We'll be looking into things like:
(1) Kinds of dog cancers, and how to avoid them
(2) What symptoms to look for in your dog (I didn't know that fussy eating was a huge sign)
(3) Alternatives to Frontline
(4) The best supplements to give your dog (glucosamine alternatives, and brands of vitamins, fish oil and antioxidants)
(5) The big questions: Is raw food - or Dr. Billinghurst's BARF diet - healthy? Is any Kibble acceptable? Can I cook for my dog? Is there a fast, cheap way? Is any of the stuff like this WholeMeals diet (see website pic) actually legit?
(6) When to get a new dog when your dog passes, and how to integrate the new fella
(7) Resources and websites for all kinds of animal issues
(8) Holistic veterinary medicine - reviews of actual vets, and Bailey's experience trying it all out
(9) Common toxins in our homes and how to make sure our pets are not exposed to them.
So buckle up and bark on. Your dog is about to get healthy.
