active culture yogurt (or Wysong <strong>Pet</strong> Inoculant) and diluting with purified<br />

water (combined with Wysong WellSpring) does help many animals<br />

tolerate dairy products.<br />

Other excellent dairy products (made from raw whole milk if possible)<br />

are cheeses, cottage cheese and yogurt. When choosing yogurt,<br />

avoid the sugar/jam varieties and buy whole milk plain, or make your own<br />

(see <strong>The</strong> Wysong Book Store Catalog on page 255 for “how to” help in<br />

making yogurt). To be beneficial, live yogurt cultures have to be added<br />

after heating – look for the words “active yogurt cultures” on the package.<br />

All dairy products can be fed alone, mixed together, mixed with Wysong<br />

foods, or with other fresh whole foods.<br />

MEATS<br />

<strong>The</strong> ideal “meat” product would be the<br />

entire natural prey your pet’s ancestors<br />

once hunted. This is not practical<br />

today, but nevertheless<br />

feeding meat should mimic this<br />

model as closely as possible. In the<br />

wild, carnivores eat the viscera (organs<br />

and their contents), muscle meat and bones.<br />

Fresh grocery store raw meats, including chicken, turkey, beef, pork<br />

and lamb, should be cut into small ¼”-1” pieces if they are difficult for<br />

your pet to chew. This is unlikely, however, unless there is dental disease<br />

present. If cleanliness of the meat is in question, rinse it well, cleanse with<br />

Wysong Citrox, and supplement with Call of the Wild, which helps<br />

balance high meat meals and contains a special Wysong fruit extract that<br />

inhibits food-borne pathogens.<br />

Organ meats, such as liver, kidney, heart and poultry giblets, should<br />

be used in combination with the muscle meats mentioned above in a ratio<br />

of approximately one part organs to five parts meat. Such fresh meat<br />

combinations should be a regular fresh food added to your pet’s diet.<br />

Cooked meats and table scraps may be fed with benefit. This is still<br />

superior to what is present in most commercial pet foods. Don’t forget,<br />

vary meals, and balance will take care of itself. Lightly broiled or baked<br />

meats are best, and charcoaled, fried and deep-fried are worst. Wysong<br />

also offers All Meat canned varieties – Beef, Chicken, Turkey,<br />
