Have a Pet that is in need of natural health solutions?
We work with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, and many more animals that our patients may have at home. If you have a pet and would like to optimize their health naturally, let us know! Below are a few suggestions on how to start.
Step 1: Schedule your pet’s Initial Consultation with us on your next follow up visit. We only treat pets when an owner is an existing patient. Download our Animal Intake Form HERE
Step 2: For any dog or cat, switch to a raw food, grain free diet. If your animal is used to eating the same dried, overprocessed food at every meal, transition slowly on a gradient. Mix in raw meat with the food they have eaten and gradually increase the ratio to contain more raw than cooked.
When I had cats, I would buy the organ meats from a local Asian market or my local cattle provider. The offal often included heart, kidney, spleen, liver, etc. Here is a list of locally available pastured & free range animal suppliers.
Once you obtain a variety of raw organ meats, cut them up, mix and pack and freeze into packages that are roughly a week’s worth. Then each week, thaw a pack out. This can be done for dogs or cats. This is the most cost effective and best option as opposed to purchasing from a food manufacturer.
If you want to shop for premade raw food from a company, here are some brands to consider:
The Farmer’s Dog
Nature’s Variety Instinct
Primal Pet Food
Darwin’s natural pet food
Ollie
The Honest Kitchen
Sojos
Stella and Chewy’s
Taste of the Wild
Evangers
Orijen
Merrick
Step 3: Start your animal on whole food supplements to fill in the gaps.
For dogs, we recommend you start with the Canine Enteric Support.
For cats, we recommend you start with the Feline Renal Support.
