    EEE and mosquitoes!

    Hi All! I've been asked a lot about Triple E lately from my clients, and put a blog together to help provide some general information. It is not uploaded to our website yet (technology!), but after talking with Dr. Jeff last night we decided it would be good to post here too. Enjoy!

    Our new pup Mika

    Hi All! Sorry for such a delay in posting about Mika! (Pics attached) She came to us on June 22nd and started class with my husband on June 24th. This is a tracking class and she started off a fireball and was wonderful at home and in training. She integrated into our home well and we switched...

    Microbiota articles

    Hello all - I was asked to write a series of articles for a police dog magazine and I thought I would also share them here for anyone that may find them useful. I liked the first one because I defined many of the terms we often hear and I think it is helpful in learning all about this...

    Weight Loss Despite a Voracious Appetite in a Dog

    This is an interesting post that I'm sure puts "the big picture" into perspective for many. *Most* prescription diets are actually not adequate for long term feeding! - meant to treat the immediate problem, and not appropriate as a "long term" solution! Often I do see cats and dogs with...

    Supplements can't hurt my pets, right?

    Yes! I have been using the Adored Beast line for my dogs and with clients/customers. I find it is helpful for more acute issues like vomitting/nausea/diarrhea. Also helpful for dogs who regularly vomit bile. I love that there are no fillers, and that it contains an adequate amount of CFUs. All...

    Food and Taurine/DCM

    An interesting bit of information I learned while at the RFVS (Raw Feeding Veterinary Society) conference in Manchester UK last week: DCM is not an issue throughout Europe. I asked veterinary teams of researchers from the DogRisk group in Finland, as well as Holland, University of Liverpool...

    Food and Taurine/DCM

    Thank you to Dr. Jeff, Dr. Christina and Dr. Hofve for tonights EA!  As Dr. Hofve and Dr. Jeff mentioned, most of the major pet food brands involved in the DCM/taurine issue have been named. However, as Dr. Jeff also pointed out, dogs are being diagnosed with cardiac problems on raw diets as...

    Newly diagnosed mast cell tumor

    Hi Debbie, I am still struggling a bit with not having removed the MCT. 90% of the time I am completely comfortable with the decision to treat him without surgery/chemo/radiation, however there is still that small percentage of the time that I wonder. I do take comfort in knowing that you...

    Newly diagnosed mast cell tumor

    Dr Jeff, do you have any particular articles you recommend re: PEA and CBD in stabilizing mast cells? In addition, has anyone in this forum ever had their pet experience extremely red skin from head to toe that was hot/warm to the touch?  For example, tonight when I got home from work, about...

    Newly diagnosed mast cell tumor

    Thank you Dr. Jeff for your response.   This was diagnosed via needle aspirate.  We were pretty sure of it last week before the aspirate so I began making supplement changes and just got the official cytology report back this week. I will look into the article you mentioned and thank...
