The Big Business Of Dogs and Dog Food

"My love and passion for animals - Can I inform you how it all started back in the 1980's?

A darling Pomeranian puppy was offered to me for my 30th birthday. I named him Tiamo. I wanted him to understand ""I like you"" each time I said his name despite the fact that it was in Italian. He taught me how to enjoy and adore animals. Even though I had embraced 2 felines a couple of years earlier, Tiamo was the 7 pound wonder that opened my heart.

I discovered what it implied to be accountable for a Family pet; the ""parental"" duties it required an amazing pet owner. The genuine love I experienced was priceless. My heart grew larger and bigger for canines, cats, all pets!

I began to observe animals on lots of levels. I even began to follow a vegetarian diet plan, which lead to a vegan diet plan ... all because I couldn't consume animals due to the fact that I connected with them in my heart. (** over the last few years I incorporated more animal protein into my diet plan).

Regrettably, I required to assist Tiamo pass on when he was just 13 years old. That is on the more youthful side for a lap dog. He had a collagen illness which jeopardized his cartilage; this made him age quicker than normal. His body started to 'offer out'. It inspired me to pay attention to the health of mine and other individuals's family pets. Particularly what remained in the food they consumed. Animals need our pure attention. I discovered we all require to inform ourselves the very best we can.

I still had my two cats and another pom (that we embraced from a Pomeranian rescue). Time progressed and I observed I became really involved in the animal world. Pet dog sitting, pet dog walking, saving, assisting animals discover a house, discovering better foods, how corn and other fillers were put into pet food, etc

. My caring and empathy is for all living things ended up being more and more evident.

I have been working massage and bodywork, given that 1983. These (massage and animals) 2 passions appeared to weave in and out of each other. I discovered that people started to count on me for ""answers"" or connecting them and developing community for animals. The Holistic care of people and animals seemed to match one another.

Communities began to see me as an animal activist in the early 2000's. This shocked me but I gladly opened to it. I was just doing what was in my heart for these sweet creatures that couldn't defend themselves. Teaching and operating in my massage and bodywork practice, I also started to personally establish a mindful touch for animals, namely dogs and felines. I believed, if I can do it with people, why not the animals? Animals are in fact less resistant and more available to the energy exchange.

Now in 2011, my partner and I have a Golden Retriever/Labrador mix who is 16 years old and a Chocolate Labrador who is 6 years of ages; both saves. We embraced Moki, the Golden, when she was 7ish. That is a story for another time. Kona, the Chocolate Lab was about 6 weeks old when we saved her from a family that couldn't keep her. We have given both of them a really caring FOREVER house. They belong to our household and consider them in all that we do.

In the past year I decided it was time for me to get out on the planet more with Pets, their people and the animal world. In 2008, my partner and I transferred to Southern California and required an assistance group for our canines and us. Being in Earthquake territory and not always being at house with them through out the day, we established a PET EMERGENCY SITUATION TEAM in our neighborhood, which has actually now broadened to the track of houses we reside in Long Beach, Ca.

We are still building on this idea and it is working well.

We all have un-foreseen crisis that spring up and it is smart to have a plan. Do you have a strategy in order? I can not motivate you enough! We have a large plastic container with extra pet dog food, blankets, water, water bowls, deals with and medications.

Did you know that CORN can affect your animals skin and coat? Does your pet dog have allergic reactions, skin or coat concerns? Check the active ingredients. Attempt a NO-GRAIN food. It will more than likely vanish. My veterinarian had my 1 years of age, Kona, on antibiotics three different times in one year! I changed her food and the skin issue disappeared and her requirement for meds. Inspect your food and understand what components remain in the item.

Pet dogs and cats are extremely allergic to corn and other grain filler in commercial foods. Many Animal foods bulk it up with starchy fillers. A protein filler can be chicken beaks, chicken wings, bones, etc. Not the real meat of the animal stated in the food. Liver is ok ... as long as they are natural. If you see ""animal absorb"" on the label as part of the active ingredients, beware. This can imply there are rendered ""unhealthy or dead"" animals therein. Dead naturally, however implying that they might be family pets that have been euthanized at the shelter.

My love for animals deepens every day. I assist individuals all over the country to feel more linked to their animals, educate about Family pets and even assist with finding permanently homes for them. A woman all the way across the continent, in CT, wrote and asked me what she might do about individuals dropping unwanted felines at the their barn. I offered her some suggestions that motivated her and, yes, she found them homes. That is an excellent feeling to be able to inspire, assist individuals and find options."
