Mosquito season is upon us, and that means you need to protect your dogs from heart-worms!
These are parasites that are transmitted by mosquitoes and enter the bloodstream as larvae then migrate to the heart. Six months after reaching the heart, the larvae turn into adults, and that is when problems begin. The heart will eventually be filled with full-grown heartworms, blocking the flow of blood to the lungs and severely damaging the heart. The heart has already been damaged by the time you see symptoms. Your veterinarian can perform a simple fecal test to determine if your pet is free of heartworm infestation. However, many veterinarians will recommend a daily or monthly pill to prevent heartworms. This pill could do more harm than good! (more…)

Food in its purest state – unadulterated by artificial additives, sweeteners, colorings, and preservatives – is the best tasting and most nutritious food available.

When you buy organic you are supporting sustainable agricultural practices that do not put poisonous chemicals in our soil, water, air, or on our food. Just like with humans, when pets consume conventionally manufactured foods, they are ingesting various amounts of harsh chemicals that can end up bio-accumulating in the body. This bio-accumulation can lead to serious illness, even cancer.

Here is an excerpt from a 1993 study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences, “By 1989, the NAS found that conventional farm practices increased soil erosion; that the application of chemical fertilizers fostered the growth of algae in streams, bays, and estuaries, choking off oxygen and killing aquatic life, to devastating effect in the nation’s fisheries, and accounting for half of the nation’s water pollution. The leaching of these nitrate fertilizers into water sources has since been associated with bladder and ovarian cancers, and possibly colon cancer.”
