Long-Dangerous Tails

I felt so bad for Beverly being worried about taking her new pup out and about that Julie asked me to share these sites with you!  I’ve been waiting for studies about vaccinations for 17 years and apparently so has Dr. MOS (bless his heart)!!!!!

It takes a little time to read the articles and watch the videos, but in the long run, you may literally be saving your dog or your puppy’s life!

I thought you might find this interesting.

The whole statement is too long, but here is part of an official quote from the AAFCO rule book about what goes into pet food: “derived from the parts or whole carcasses of poultry or a combination thereof”

This statement means if your pet food states the first ingredient is “CHICKEN” it could be ONLY THE CHICKEN BONES & SKIN left over from the slaughter house after the good parts go to the human industry OR animals that are completely REJECTED for the human food chain coming FROM a USDA facility!

Here is a conversation I found on the net between a consumer and a pet food company:

Question to dog food company: Is the grade of meat you use Prime, Choice, OR Grade A?

Answer from company: “All our meats come from USDA inspected facilities.”  Remember that “rejected for human food” animals come from’ USDA facilities – they are rejected ‘from’ USDA facilities.

Question to dog food company:  But what grade of meat is in your kibble?

Answer: “Our meats are sourced from the same USDA meat processing facilities as the meats you would purchase in the grocery store….USDA approved facilities”. (Again, rejected animals ‘come from’ USDA approved facilities – as well as skin and bones ‘come from’ USDA facilities).

Question:  But you still didn’t answer my question; what is the Grade of meat that you use in your kibble?

Answer from dog food company: “I’m sorry, I don’t have an answer for you.”

For real meat you want the response “Grade A” for chicken, and with Beef and Lamb it would be “Prime” or “Choice”.  If the company can’t or won’t tell you???  That says plenty! :-/

The Health Benefits Of Coconut Oil

by Dogs Naturally on July 8, 2011 · 69 comments

Although supplements can be a confusing topic for many pet owners, most dog owners have heard of the benefits of feeding fish oils. There are however, a variety of oils that you can also use to your dog’s benefit, each with different actions and benefits.

Coconut oil consists of more than 90% saturated fats, with traces of few unsaturated fatty acids, such as monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Most of the saturated fats in coconut oil are Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). The main component (more than 40%) of MCTs is lauric acid, followed by capric acid, caprylic acid, myristic acid and palmitic. Coconut oil also contains about 2% linoleic acid (polyunsaturated fatty acids) and about 6% oleic acid (monounsaturated fatty acids).
