<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">If there is one thing you want to look out for in your pets this summer, it’s dehydration – especially with how hot our summers get. None of us like feeling dehydrated, so it stands to reason that we wouldn’t want our pets dehydrated either. Dehydration is more than simply loss of water in our pets. It’s also a loss of electrolytes like sodium, potassium and chloride, which are important for normal body function; this, very obviously, can cause serious issues for our pets.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This problem can come about from more than just not drinking water. Look out for these problems in the summer (or any time of the year) that can cause dehydration: persistent vomiting, diarrhea, illness, fever, and heat stroke. If your pet is refusing water due to illnesses like these, then dehydration is imminent and getting them to your vet is incredibly important.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you suspect that your pet is dehydrated due to being lethargic and refusing water or liquids of any sort, then check the most common dehydration symptom – elasticity of the skin. Pinch the skin of your pet right above the shoulder blades. If your pet is hydrated well, the skin should snap back into place smoothly and easily. If your pet is not hydrated, the skin will either very slowly go back down, or not go back down at all – causing a tent. Pets with dry, tacky gums, listlessness, and no hunger can also be suffering from dehydration.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Dehydration is very serious and should be handled by a professional.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>

Be sure you keep a close eye on your pet if s/he is ill, and keep their symptoms checked to ensure that you know immediately if something is wrong.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It seems like today, there is a pretty big craze about raw and cooked ‘homemade’ cat (and dog) foods. The diet is safer for your pet, can help alleviate pains and bowel issues, and can be useful in keeping your cat happy, healthy, and well fed. However, before you decide to throw out your dry cat food and go ‘all natural,’ make sure you do your homework! Here are a few things to remember before you jump on the bandwagon that is homemade cat food:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. Most dry cat food is contaminated with feces, bacterium, fungal mycotoxins, and are dangerously low in water (which can affect your poor feline’s urinary tract).</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. While grains such as rice and corn are generally very bad for your pet, keeping a small amount for energy and substance can help keep the food you make balanced.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. If you are not able to uphold a balance of raw and cooked food for your pet, try a canned food diet. This is better than dry food, and though not as good for your cat as a homemade diet, can help keep your pet’s health up.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4. You can have a balanced diet of raw and cooked foods for your pet. Remember, your goal is to create a diet for your pet that closely resembles what they might eat in the wild – but at the same time, to have enough control over what you are feeding them to cut out any possibility of contamination.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Things that a cat needs especially for their diet are: proteins, amino acids (like taurine), fatty acids, vitamins, and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">water</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></div>

The diet was created and researched by Dr. B and has our own guarantee to give your pets the right balance of nutrients and tastiness.</span></div>

Most commercial brands are filled with low-protein diet and even more grains. This is not good for our pets, and can actually harm them. Plus with all the additives, the dyes, and the excessive heat used to bake the food, the nutrients continue to go down. Our very own Dr. Buchoff has created several different recipes for your dogs and cats to eat – each one with the proper amount of nutrients, proteins, fatty acids, and other goodies.</span></div>

This diet helps encourage a healthy coat, healthy eating habits, and overall good health for your beloved pet. By going back to a diet our pets would have enjoyed in the wild, we are not only feeding them the best of what we can give them, but we are also helping ensure that they are getting the proper nutrition.</span></div>

This diet ensures that the cats are getting a simple meal without all the preservatives that we can find in dry foods today.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Your pet deserves to live a life of comfort and happiness with you like you do with her or him. Please give up the idea that chronic disease is inevitable and that, oh well, you can’t do anything if your pet is genetically programmed to develop allergies, arthritis, cancer, or any other malady. This is the old way of thinking. Haven’t you heard of “epigenetics?” Modify your pet’s environment and lifestyle to overcome its negative genetic potential.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
There are 3 factors that contribute to your pets getting disease, that you can help fix – excess toxins, poor nutrition, and poor communication within the body. I will concentrate this article on the first – toxins.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Toxins are any substances (usually man-made chemicals) that adversely affect the body’s normal biological functions. Your pet may have subtle reactions such as a little coughing, sneezing, vomiting, loose stools, or diarrhea; or there may be frank illness with weakness and loss of appetite and weight with any of these signs. The trick is to limit the toxins that your pets are exposed to - or at least limit what gets into their bodies - plus try to remove what toxins are already inside, by “detox-ing.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
To limit their exposure and what gets into their bodies:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />1. Walk your dog or cat in areas that are less chemical treated. Avoid areas where there are warning flags. And certainly wipe their paws with a damp cloth (dry cloth if it is wet outside) when re-entering your house, because they also pick up chemicals for the sidewalks and streets. Remember, when they settle down, pets will lick their paws.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />2. Avoid over-vaccinating. Consider vaccinal titer blood tests instead.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />3. Avoid chemical insecticides on or in your pet. Use essential oils to repel fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and flies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />4. Avoid chemicals in food. Feed fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried raw food.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Detox-ing your pet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />1. Brush the coat every day. Massages release toxins.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />2. Feed raw diet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />3. Serious detox-ing for health. This requires a conversation with your veterinarian, but always includes supplements to cleanse the liver.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Here’s to your pets’ health!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Some treatment approaches for pet-owners seeking alternatives to conventional veterinary practice include the following:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>Holistic homeopathy</strong> </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Consumers and pet-owners are fortunate to find homeopathic and Holistic Pet Care Little Falls NJ, and the benchmarks of homeopathy are quite distinct. Homeopathy surrounds balancing the energy within the person or animal in order to treat and heal the condition. This medical model embraces diet and relies of less vaccines and preventative immunizations than conventional medical treatment generally commands. The underlying foundation of homeopathic medicine is that the body can and will heal itself, if it is allowed to do so.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>Massage therapy</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Massage encourages natural healing by stimulating blood flow and nerve endings, relieving tension, and loosening up tight muscles- all of which contribute to faster recovery and healing. Massage can be an integral part of your pet's treatment when going holistic Little Falls, NJ. Massage is lauded for lowering blood pressure and improving immunity, which can help prevent illness and disease. Massage can also provide great relief for overworked and strained muscle groups. The important thing to remember when providing massage therapy for animals is that it should be pleasurable for the pet, and if they do not appear to be comfortable or enjoying the treatment, stop immediately and notify your vet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>Animal Acupuncture</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese treatment that has been used for centuries and that strives to stimulate blood flow in particular areas of the body to facilitate healing. These same principles are extended to services provided by your veterinarian Little Falls, NJ for your pets. The provider attempts to channel the ch'i, or positive energy, to specific pressure points of the body with needles, lasers, and electrical stimulation tactics. Acupuncture has been found to be effective in treating pain, digestion issues, epilepsy, and hip dysplasia in animals. The relief granted by Acupuncture may also contribute to improved mood and disposition in some animals.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>Herbal remedies</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Ask your provider and Animal Clinic Little Falls NJ for herbal recommendations to treat your animals' chronic or acute conditions. Likewise, let your veterinary provider know when you are giving medications, supplements, and herbal remedies to your pets. These could present an interaction or interference with absorption and metabolism of one-another. There is also a risk of toxicity or adverse reaction when used inappropriately, even though they are considered all-natural.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>Chiropractic care</strong></div>

You may not think of chiropractic care when considering Veterinary Little Falls NJ practice, however chiropractic manipulations have been used effectively as a treatment for pain and nerve damage in animals, which can impact overall health of the organs due to realignment of the vertebrae. This includes chronic issues with the gastrointestinal system and heart of many species.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
There are tools often used on animals to provide rigorous manipulation during chiropractic treatment, but that could potentially scare dogs and cats, with the noise and stimulation. Many pets may do better with classic, hands-on chiropractic techniques.</div>

Talk with your veterinary provider to determine which alternative methods might be best suited for your pets' distinct issues or conditions. </div>

<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.holisticpetcarenj.com/services-122">Holistic pet care</a> </span>is different from conventional veterinary medicine. Holistic pet care is a more natural approach. We have the passion for helping animals. We treat each pet as if it were our own. Each animal is unique and should be treated as such. They all have their own issues and we are trained to handle them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Why Is The Holistic Approach Better?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
The holistic approach is better than the traditional approach for many reasons. The veterinarian in Little Falls NJ avoids overusing artificial chemicals, antibiotics, vaccinations, as well as various other treatments. We provide natural nutrition, as well as regular daily care. We know that the body can heal on its own. Sometimes, the pet does need help with that process, but for the most part, we do things naturally. It’s better for the pet and their body to go through a natural treatment plan.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: #660000;">Allergy in Pets – what you
need to know</span></span></h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">by Dr. Gerald Buchoff</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Allergy is one of the most
common yet misunderstood diseases in pets. I consider it one of the most basic
autoimmune diseases. Signs of allergies typically manifest at 2 years of age. The
classic sign in dogs is itchiness of the ears, axillae (armpits), flanks and
ears. Cats typically present with respiratory distress such as labored
breathing or coughing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">A little background. Probably
all autoimmune diseases involve and begin in the intestines. That is where
there are large collections of immune cells (Peyer’s patches). Starting with
puppyhood or kittenhood, if we can keep the intestines healthy, we are likely
to fend off autoimmune diseases. [Autoimmune diseases can range to systemic
lupus erythematosus, pemphigus, autoimmune hemolytic anemia or
thrombocytopenia, and even cancer.]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">However, if things – such as
antibiotics, steroids, vaccines, chlorinated water, and environmental toxins –
unbalance the intestines and kill off the beneficial (or “friendly”) bacterial
population, it allows overgrowth of harmful yeast, especially Candida, resulting
in dysbiosis. This yeast can make chemicals that literally bore holes
(ultramicroscopic holes) in the intestinal walls that allow larger than normal
molecules to enter the bloodstream. Normally, food has to be broken down into
extremely tiny fundamental units. If larger molecules get into the blood, the
body does not recognize them and treats them as foreign invaders or germs, and
produces antibodies against them. These molecules somehow associate and link to
normal tissues in the body. Then the body may attack those tissues (skin, blood
cells, gums, thyroid gland, etc.) thinking that they are foreign invaders. Now
you have autoimmunity – the immune system attacking its own body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The dysbiosis in the
intestines also leads to the liver suffering from the onslaught of large
molecules and toxins that should not be getting into the system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So, when I treat allergy, I
want to (1) treat the dysbiosis (sometimes using supplements that will reduce
the yeast and supplements that will increase the bacteria), (2) improve the
health of the intestinal lining, (3) support the liver health and function, (4)
support the immunity (“immune system”), (5) decrease the allergens and toxins
in the body, and (6) deal with the symptoms of itchiness or respiratory
problems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Supporting the immunity can
mean “thumping the thymus gland;” using your fingertips or fist to tap the
sternum between your pet’s axillae (underarms) or giving nutritional
supplements such as medicinal mushrooms and colostrum. Decreasing and avoiding
environmental toxins can include giving supplements to clear toxins and wiping
paws when coming in from walks. We can decrease allergens by adding digestive
enzymes and/or giving a far more digestible (raw) diet to decrease allergens in
the diet. We can help the skin and respiratory comfort through many holistic modalities.
Aloe Vera added to the diet may help support the skin, the intestines, and the
immune system all at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">But, remember that allergies
are very complex and treatment has to be tailored to the needs of the
individual patient, based on physical examination and blood tests.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

You can stretch your raw feeding dollars by supplementing your pet's diet with the uncooked trimmings of your family's dinner. For example, when trimming beef, grizzle and fat can be mixed into whatever variety of Dr. B's you are feeding your pet. And the same is also true for chicken. Parts that you might not normally eat, such as the gizzard pack, tail and back rib portions can be fed to your pet. Just remember, any bones should be uncooked. Vegetable trimmings can also be added, make sure that they are pet friendly - no onions, leeks, avocados or grapes. When you add vegetables, you are also adding fiber, which will result in more frequent stools. Here is a link to list of vegetables that are good for both dogs and cats: <a href="http://www.pet-grub.com/part2/what_vegetables_can_be_fed_to_dogs_and_cats">Veggies!</a><br />

Shell Huber attended Rutgers University majoring in Biology. After college he worked for, and owned several small start-up companies throughout the years; the most recent being Dr. B's Holistic Pet Products. He has been feeding his dogs a raw diet since the mid 80's, long before it even heard of in the United States. He has studied virtually all aspects of diet and health as it relates to dogs and cats. He also holds a U.S. Merchant Marine Captain's License and is an avid motorcycle enthusiast.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Pet Dental Month continues with this post from my colleague Dr. Vanessa K. Moore, DVM</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the most ancient
forms of medicine. It continues to have
a huge relevance in the way we practice medicine today. The Five Element theory was based on
observation of the cycles of nature and life in 16-221 BC. It was later applied to the body and medical
practice. It is the basis of
Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Five
Elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each element governs specific organs and
systems within the body. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For example, the Water Element is directly related to dental
health therefore when this element is weakened or imbalanced in the body dental
disease is one of the manifestations.
The Water Element is also associated with older age, therefore other
ailments such as osteoarthritis, kidney disease, bladder and urinary disease,
hind end weakness and lameness, intervertebral disc disease, dental disease,
and hearing or eyesight loss are often seen as symptoms of this imbalance. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Veterinary Medicine we most commonly see kidney disease,
dental disease, intervertebral disc disease and osteoarthritis and lameness
either as single diseases, or often combined.
Conventional veterinarians see these illnesses as separate diseases but
in fact they are all related and stem from the same deficiency within the Water
Element. Treating each of these diseases
independently will result in some success but does not get to the root of the
problem. Traditional Chinese Medicine
detects and works to correct the underlying deficiency to result in improvement
in all associated ailments. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dental health is extremely important and feeding a raw diet,
brushing your pet's teeth, and routine dental cleanings by your veterinarian
are tantamount to maintaining good oral health.
Because dental disease is often not an isolated problem, it is important
to look at the animal as a whole and to determine where the imbalance is and
how to correct it. In addition using
Traditional Chinese medicine to diagnose the deficiency or imbalance it is also
used to correct it using acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and food therapy. It is an
excellent way to extend your pet's life span and quality of life.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dental disease includes gingivitis, calculus/tartar, gum
recession, root exposure and loose teeth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The process starts out as plaque, the invisible or pale
yellow gritty material that collects on the teeth. If it is not brushed away,
it becomes mineralized and forms calculus/tartar. Calculus/tartar encourages
and shelters bacteria which inflames the gums and can form small
abscesses/pyorrhea.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The bacteria breaks down the gums and can weaken the jaw
bone holding the teeth. This provides a
pathway into the bloodstream, causing serious health problems. For example,
bacteria in the bloodstream can cause small abscesses to form on the heart
valves, in the kidneys, and in the liver, causing disease of those organs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dental disease can ultimately be life-threatening and is
totally preventable. Start your dog or cat or ferret off young with daily
brushing, using enzyme toothpaste, such as CET®. If there is already some
development of calculus, use a tooth gel that contains grapefruit seed extract
such as Vetzlife®, that can dissolve away mild calculus plus remove bacteria,
allowing the gums to heal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If there is more than mild gingivitis and slight calculus on
the teeth, it is necessary to have them cleaned and polished under anesthesia.
Any procedure requiring anesthesia poses its risks and associated costs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's in the best interest of your pet and your wallet to
brush daily to avoid the need for dentistry. A little prevention goes a long
way.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We often see birds in our practice who are in distress. It
is important to remember that birds are small and sensitive animals. Our
feathered friends need special care to ensure their safety. Here are some
things to keep in mind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Your kitchen is a hazardous place for your birds. Fumes from
cooking and cookware can quickly overcome them, causing sickness or death.</li>
<li>Do keep your birds in an area that is temperature stable,
near a window but not in direct sunlight.</li>
<li>Birds can be overstimulated easily: children, other pets,
television can all cause stress.</li>
<li>Limit interaction with cats and dogs. In addition to the
dangers from rough play, their saliva is laden with foreign bacteria that can
cause illness in birds. </li>
<li>Exercise is important and birds love to explore your home.
Be sure to keep your windows and doors closed, ceiling fans turned off and heat
sources (stove, tea kettles, space heaters) secured when they take flight.</li>
<li>Certain foods are toxic to birds, the most common ones are:
avocados, chocolate, garlic, onions, tobacco, dairy products and alcohol.</li>
<li>Are your houseplants safe for birds? A great resource to
determine if your house plants are safe for pets is the ASPCA's Plant List</li>
<li>Products such as air fresheners, hair spray, scented candles
and potpourri are common hazards. And of course, fumes from pesticides, paint,
glue and automobiles should be avoided as well.</li>
<li>Be sure to wash food and water cups daily.</li>
<li>Do speak and sing to your bird softly!</li>
</ul>
<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many things to consider when you are boarding your
pet. The best way to decide on a facility is to ask for a tour to see the
facility and to meet the staff. Some things to consider:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What will your pet's day look like? Will your pet be in a
kennel or crate or a larger suite?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Will there be interaction with other pets? How many pets?
What is the staff to pet ratio in such situations?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How often and when will your pet be walked? Where?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is the policy regarding health records and vaccination
requirements?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What happens if your pet is sick or injured?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can you provide your own food for your pet?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What about supplements?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Will they administer medications?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is the policy on bringing bedding and toys from home?<o:p></o:p></div>

Boarding facilities fill quickly during the holidays;
remember to reserve early. Be sure to leave your contact numbers with your
boarding facility. Also, providing local emergency numbers is a good idea as
well. Boarding can be a stressful time for your pet, proper planning can put you both at ease.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If boarding you pet is not possible for health or expense; a
pet sitter may be an option. Pet sitters can come to your home to feed, walk,
play with your pet in the comfort of your own home. They can also administer
medications as well. Often clients choose this option if the re are multiple
pets who are in need of care. Custom arrangements can be made with your pet
sitter as needed, some will even sleep at your home and house sit as well. <o:p></o:p></div>

At Holistic Pet Care we have a variety of options to lessen
the stress of your pet while you are away. Call or stop by to learn about
herbs, flower essences and essential oils that can help.<o:p></o:p></div>

What you need to know about circovirus</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prior to 2012, circovirus was only seen in pigs and chickens. Crossing over into dog populations, cases
have been reported in California, Michigan and Ohio. There have been reports of
sick animals and several deaths related to circovirus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So far, cases have limited to boarding/kennel situations and
is it contagious in nature. Symptoms to look for are lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea
and bloody stool. These symptoms may be present in variety of diseases. Any pet
exhibiting these symptoms should be evaluated by a vet immediately.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
A strong immune system, supported by proper nutrition supplements, chiropractic adjustment and acupuncture, is your pet's best defense against illness. Dr. Gerald Buchoff and Dr. Vanessa Moore can create a protocol to help your pet stay healthy and live longer. </div>

My dog needs a job</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“My dog needs a job” lamented the owner of an Emma, an 8
year old Shih Tzu. Emma had taken to obsessively gnawing at her leg, creating a
persistent wound susceptible to frequent infection. Proper nutritional support and homeopathic
remedies healed the wound nicely, but Emma would soon find another spot to
target.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obsessive behavior in animals is a curious thing. Once all
possible physical causes are ruled out, only the mental state of animal
remains. Gus, the recently deceased Central Park Zoo polar bear, became world-
famous for his obsessive swimming. Animal behaviorists, at a cost of $25,000,
were brought in to help shift his behavior. A playroom stocked with rubber
cans, traffic cones and coolers was set up in his enclosure. Feeding times became more challenging – Gus
was given his meals frozen in ice blocks or encased in rawhide. In the end all
these changes were made to make Gus use his mind and body more. Little by
little his obsessive behavior was reduced. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
We can learn from Gus’ story and benefit from the knowledge
learned from the animal behaviorists. Emma too needs to use her mind and her
body to drain her of the restlessness energy that is driving her obsessive
behavior. Exercise, games, and pet tricks can all help her channel the energy
in a positive way. Emma’s owner is correct, Emma and all pets with obsessive
behaviors “need a job”. Are you hiring?<o:p></o:p></div>

We have recently seen a plethora of cases scratching themselves. Granted, some of these are dogs and cats with fleas, but many are allergy-like skin cases. Most of the time, the food or material that is making them itch is difficult to identify.<br />
<br />
As you know, we avoid steroids unless the case is an emergency. However, we have been finding much success using Chinese and Western herbal remedies. Where that is not enough, some cases have responded well to homotoxicology injections using complex homeopathy combined with the pet's own blood to remove the individual toxins that plague the patient.<br />
<br />
Very simple solutions work such as adding water to the pet's food so the skin is more hydrated. Another good way to prevent itching in some cases is to stop bathing the pet, since baths dry out the skin and remove protective oils. Brushing every day with a wire slicker brush can stimulate skin glands to produce these comforting skin oils.<br />
<br />
From a Chinese Medicine perspective, itchiness may be excess internal heat trying to escape the body. Therefore, some pets feel much relief using menthol preparations such as Gold Bond powder or lotion. So many pets need to simply change their diets from processed food to raw diet. Often, commercial food is the cause of excess body heat. </div>

Dr. Buchoff has recently returned from the 30th Annual American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA) Conference in Birmingham, Alabama. During this conference, over 200 veterinarians met from around the nation to discuss holistic products, treatment options, case studies, and more! There were tons of vendors, lecturers, and other like-minded individuals networking and learning about evolutions in Holistic Veterinary Medicine.<br />
<br />
Our clinic is excited to update our inventory with <a href="http://www.neutricks.com/" target="_blank">Neutricks</a>. Neutricks is a jellyfish protein extract that binds to calcium to help neurotransmitters communicate more effectively. It helps with mental agility and cognitive focus. This is for geriatric animals whose minds seem to wander in their elderly age.<br />
<br />
More Chinese herbs and homotoxicology medicines will be added to our repertoire!<br />
<br />
Dr. B heard lectures on Homotoxicology, one of the many procedures we offer. He believes it is "Tomorrow's Medicine." How Homotoxicology works is that a homeopathic remedy is designed to remove the specific toxins the body has. In order to do this, the medicine is mixed with a drop of the patient's blood. The pet's blood chemistry dictates how the medication will work because it helps the medicine identify which specific toxins are present.<br />
<br />
Dr. B attended several other lectures as well:<br />
<br />
"Herbs for Lymphoma and other Cancers in Dogs" by Dr. Huisheng Xie<br />
"Vitamin D and Calcium: Bone Health and Beyond" by Dr. Patricia Schenck<br />
"Hot Topics in Nutrition" by Dr. Patricia Schenck<br />
"Circulation: It's Central Role in Disease Pathogenesis and its Control Through Medicine, Part 2" by Dr. Steve Marsden<br />
"The Role of Inflammation and Injury in Cancer" by Dr. Sue Armstrong<br />
(Sue Armstrong has seen curative effects in cancer patients with homeopathy!)<br />
A Keynote Speaker: Extending the Frontiers in the Art of Medicine by Dr. Jean Dodds<br />
"Managing Skin Disease, Lameness, and Paralysis" by Dr. Steve Marsden<br />
"Headache in Animals - Recognition and Treatment" by Dr. Ella Bittel<br />
"Raw Green Tripe- Smelly but Sensational" by Dr. Amy Fiumarelli<br />

Brusier Raffiani, a ten-year-old chocolate labrador retriever, presented to our clinic in April of 2012 with arthritis, limping, and severe pain. After exhausting multiple treatments that seemed to be palliative and partially effective, his owner opted to do <a href="https://www.vet-stem.com/" target="_blank">Vet-Stem Cell Therapy</a> in July of 2012. Vet-Stem also has their own <a href="http://www.arthritisindogsblog.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>.<br />
<br />
The process of stem cell therapy involves harvesting the falciform ligament inside the patient's abdomen and sending the specimen to the VetStem lab in California. They extract the stem cells from the adipose tissue and send them back in syringes within the next day. Depending on the animal's case, stem cells may be injected directly into the joints and also intravenously.<br />
<br />
Why does this work? Stem cells are pluripotent, meaning that they are versatile and can take on whatever role is most needed. If an animal suffers from osteoarthritis, stem cells will act to rebuild the joints affected, removing the cause of inflammation, and drastically decreasing pain. Scientific literature claims the effectiveness of stem cell therapy against some cancers. Dr. Buchoff has seen this firsthand in a case of hemangiosarcoma of the spleen.<br />
<br />
Bruiser has seen dramatic results in only a short few weeks. Here is his owner, Beri's testimonial:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In Bruiser's case, he now is happy, care-free, and playing like a puppy again!<br />
