Lavender is one of my human’s most favorite essential oils AND herb bepaws it IS so versatile!

MRSA (pronounced “murr – sa“) is an acronym for “Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus.” While Staphylococcus aureus is a common and relatively harmless inhabitant in the nasal passages of 25-30% of people, the MRSA form of staphylococcus is not so benign and once entrenched it does not go away. MRSA is a monster bacteria created by the medical use of man-made antibiotics and antibacterial agents employed principally in hospitals. It was first detected in the 1960s, only a few years after a new semi-synthetic form of penicillin (Methicillin) was introduced. Read the rest

WOLF berries hehe – my favorite, although maybe more commonly known as Goji berries. Yes I am a carnivore…scavenger and facultative, and in the wild when food is scarce and maybe just bepaws we like sweets, berries of different kinds will be on the menu, WOOF!

So today I have two stories for you on both wolfberries and blueberries and a way to get these highly nutritional foods into your diet easily and powerfully humans AND that also have essential oils in it. My humans drink Ningxia Red Juice daily and when they don’t they say they just don’t feel as energetic.

Sometimes when I’ve been sick they’ve given it to me and it rejuvenates me right quick! And maybe juice isn’t the norm in a carnivore diet, Ningxia Red tasted yummy to this dog and it sure did help me when I was sick. Now the berries aren’t something my human feels needs to be in the diet of a carnivore all the time, especially since you’ll be getting our raw meaty bones for us on a regular basis – no scarcity or starving happening. But sometimes an herb or essential oil or berry might do us right good, WOOF!

(NaturalNews) Goji berries, also known as Wolfberries, are one of the most nutritionally dense superfoods on the planet. They contain a vast array of unique carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Among these it is also believed by many to… http://www.naturalnews.com/028098_goji_berries_antioxidants.html

Don’t forget to eat blueberries: Scientists find they help memory
(NaturalNews) Although several studies involving laboratory animals have provided tantalizing clues that eating blueberries improves memory, could the delicious fruit actually help people retain their mental sharpness as they age? The good new appears…http://www.naturalnews.com/028152_blueberries_memory.html

In light of the fact humans that so many people AND animals die from the use of properly taken, properly prescribed drugs – let’s not even get into how many perish when using these drugs improperly – then this is HUGE news in FAVOR of instead not only eating a species appropriate diet, but utilizing vitamins, herbs and minerals for your overall well being and that of your animals, WOOF!

I’m really glad this is the approach my own humans take for themselves and for me! Here’s the news:
http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v06n04.shtml

Now you may be able to start to see why it is that those in favor of pushing the big pharma agenda may not be too happy with this sort of news. As you can see it did not make mainstream news – but then consider how much advertising dollars mainstream media makes from big pharma and it doesn’t take any rocket science to see that handwriting on the wall, WOOF!

Next time you see those goofy ads promising you health and happiness if you just take their drugs, consider the source, mute your TV and take the natural route, it is not only MUCH safer but it is the way we were all originally intended to care for our health.

My human recently found a very interesting website that has all natural, eco-friendly products for pets that includes beds, toys, grooming supplies, supplements and so much more!

For those of you seeking a more holistic lifestyle for your pets, you will want to bookmark Golden Pet Supplies website so that you can make sure to seek out their products before purchasing at a local pet store.

Often humans will make sure that THEY are getting, natural, organic products for their own use, but if you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time as I share all about using essential oils with us dogs, then you should know that we dogs need a whole health approach to our care as well.

For example when you purchase toys you want to consider that they could be treated with toxic chemicals or dyes that can contribute to illness with us over time or even as an acute illness. If we are sleeping on unnatural bedding that can also contribute to our ill health. Because most pet owners take their pets to a veterinarian who is trained conventionally to treat the symptoms but not to look at the causes, then the responsibility lies squarely with pet owners to get much more proactive in our care by making natural, healthy choices for us.

My human is an animal naturopath who advocates a raw meaty bone diet for us as the foundation of good health. If you aren’t sure how to get started, you can obtain a consultation to get started. By making healthy, natural, holistic choices for us, we can live a longer more quality of life and lessen the costs and heartbreak for you, WOOF!

Visit the website for Golden Pet Supplies and keep on learning and using these Young Living Essential Oils in conjunction with a natural raw diet for your dogs to keep us healthy and thriving into our TRUE golden years, WOOF!

And for the record, nope I did NOT get paid to share Golden Pet Supplies with you!

Have a listen to a recent radio show audio that we did entitled Common Sense & Proactive Approach to Pet Care Naturally.

I don’t mean if you’re a pilot and flying, WOOF! One of the essential oil blends by Young Living my human has found is helping dogs is Grounding.

Whenever humans contact my human about a dog having some issues with separation anxiety or depression (after ruling out any health issues by having your dog examined and checked out by a veterinarian first) she will most often suggest the dog’s human try Grounding with them.

Since we dogs have been in such close proximity to humans for so long it stands to reason we’d need some chemical re-balancing just as you humans often do. Rather than running out to grab a drug to supposedly “fix” the problem, first check to see if your dog has an underlying health issue that is causing the anxiety or depression. And THEN you can address those issues naturally through nutrition and natural modalities such as the Grounding blend from Young Living.

If you are uncertain how to move your dog to a holistic lifestyle, consult with my human, WOOF!
