YW!

Thanks for sharing this tip @SheriS!

So sorry for any confusion. :( The ultimate goal is to get her on any fresh food to help improve her vitality and healing ability. A more recent addition to this scale is hydrolyzed foods at the bottom of the scale. These are used primarily because the body doesn't even recognize hydrolyzed...

Hey Anna! I bet Chicagoland is especially beautiful this time of year! Yup. I think youmay be asking about the trigger vs. the root. The root is always an energetic imbalance. The trigger in cases like this are often found in diet, lifestyle and all around (and within) us in modern life...

Hey Debbie! Yes, the cooked beef is wonderful as part of the diet. And US Wellness sources good, clean meats for people and pets. Yes, the cooked is a bit lower than raw, but still higher than HK (or any food that comes in a box, bag or can). Perhaps try these lightly cooked and "balanced"...

Hmm. Not that I ever heard. I feed them all the time. However, at one point some vets were trying to associate lentils, peas and other pulses/legumes with heart dis-ease in dogs. Often these were found in the "evil" grain free dog foods. Our good friend Nicci has quite a bit to say about...

Yes, for many dogs. Just ring the bell whenever you go out. I also like naming everything for Maya (some dogs can learn thousands of words). So perhaps say "potty" when you ring the bell to take him out to poop or pee. And try to take him out to the same potty spot each time.

If you sit outside with him while he is on the line, it's fine. I use a 30 foot leash and just let Maya wander anywhere within 30 feet of where I'm sitting (on the ground!).

Yes! The kidneys regulate most of the water balance in the body.

Good catch! That's because Sage knows to give you the most conservative way to start with any diet transition. Every home-prepared diet needs to be balanced. That is, if you are only using one recipe for long periods of time, e.g meat/poultry/fish + veggies in a slow cooker. Here's one example...

Hey Daysha! Thank you for continuing to support Bella and Maya on their journeys home. I agree! Regarding the meds, do they work to decrease her nausea? Have you seen them cause her to become constipated. If not, don't worry about what Dr. Goggle says Check with Sage (the HA! AI concierge)...

Hi Debbie- Thanks for making your first post about Belle. Ideally, yes. Onto a fresh (not ultra processed) food. Yes! Whatever works best for you and her. Perhaps crock pot (low and slow cooking) meals based on sardines or salmon (which are "coincidentally" the foods my own kitty is eating...

Thanks so much for reading it Nikolina! Keep up the wonderful work with Miss Ellie.

After taking her out and playing, how's her itch level on a 0-10 scale?

Great question. 1. Hot compress the pustule 2-3x a dy. 2. Maximize her outside time. Especially focusing on joyful activities, rolling in the dirt, playing, etc. 3. Consider starting to work, preventively, on Ellie's internal energetic balance. It sounds like it's currently still very good...
