“You have to be rich to own a pet!”

12/11/2014

3 Comments

 
“You have to be rich to own a pet,” says the client reaching into her designer clutch she’d pulled from her designer bag.  This is a client who spends, by my calculations, a dollar a day for her dog’s meals, treats and supplements.  Seriously, a dollar a day, fifty cents a meal?

Don't Be Desperate, Be Her Advocate

10/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Q: I have a blue Pitty who suffers from some pretty bad allergies. Her skin is a mess and her hair is so thin that it looks like she doesn't have much. I have taken her to an allergist and she has been on a bunch of different medications (anti-fungals, steroids, antibiotics, allergy shots, etc.) and nothing works or she reacts badly to them. Currently she is on a grain free diet. We have fed her raw in chicken, beef, duck, venison, and one other meat. We give her fish oil, and have tried supplements that the allergist/dermatologist recommended. All of this is so expensive.  I am desperate and don't know what else to do with her.

Miracle Elixirs

11/21/2013

0 Comments

 
Miracle elixirs. Revolutionary nutrients. Superfoods. Each day new products, new miracles, new recommendations propel us into seeking a better magic bullet. As a homo-sapien, with a sizeable brain, we can choose to imbibe in one of these latest super nutrients, supplements or therapies. However, as our wards, our pets depend upon us to use that sizeable brain and to identify and qualify a newly proposed health miracle for its appropriateness and application.

Grocery Store Dilemma

6/21/2013

0 Comments

 
Standing in line at the grocery store watching customers purchase dry, bargain brand cat or dog food is very hard for me.  All I want to do is grab the bag and start explaining the health risks they are taking home to their companion.
