MISC | ASK THE PETXPERT BY BILL PIECHOCKI What’s The Best Way For My Pet To Achieve A Healthy Life And Longevity? I believe that the main thing we all want for our pets and ourselves is a pain-free and low-stress life. We understand in today’s overabundance of bad information and messaging that it is hard to maintain a healthful lifestyle. First, let’s focus on our carnivore family members, our dogs and cats. Their digestive physiology is not designed to break down most carbohydrates that most commercial diets present. I can give you a successful recipe for dogs and cats in a heartbeat. We must all understand what kind of animal they are. They are carnivores, meat and animal feeders. That is plain and simple. They did not evolve only within the past 75 years. The principles that dictate a healthy body for pets and people alike are primarily a species-appropriate diet, which I will only direct to our carnivore pets. So, we must start with a carnivore diet, which is animal-based food. Beware that when we feed them an omnivore type diet that includes fruits, vegetables, grains, and other starches in many commercial pet foods, we create dysregulation of digestion. The body must get rid of these inappropriate components, which lead to what doctor’s call “disease.” Since these animals do not have the digestive ability to break down plant-based ingredients, why would you offer a diet with all the carbohydrates, artificial flavors, and additives compromising their nutritional needs? Let’s look at what YOU can do. Long story short, dogs and cats need fresh animal-based foods, such as meat, poultry, fish, and various other foods, which we can guide you through. The next step is to rid the body of the toxins that they have accumulated. Have you followed vaccine recommendations and parasite prevention that their labels state they do NOT prevent?

Did you know that adding herbs and botanicals into your pet’s diet will assist their bodies to heal naturally? Did you know that the herb Milk Thistle added to the diet can rebuild a liver in as little as four months? The same is true with Dandelion Root, which is known to dissolve liver, kidney, urinary bladder, gall bladder, and other stones naturally. Do you have any idea how botanicals such as Spirulina, Chlorella, Irish Moss, Moringa, Licorice Root, Bee Pollen, and Raw Honey can enhance the life of a pet or you?
