I was recently asked what a person or family could do to help their dog who had been through a natural disaster -(fire, flood, earthquake, etc.) get over their being anxious and fearful. I think they were a bit taken back by my response but they have happily reported that the dog is back to his happy, outgoing self and is actually helping those they meet to feel better too! What was my response? 1. Be calm, stop dwelling on the bad, focus on the good that came out of the disaster – After a little thought, they told me ” they... read moreScary Toxic Ingredients In Pet Shampoo
Are you at all concerned about the ingredients in your Pet Shampoo? If not, you really should be. While talking about scary, toxic ingredients in pet shampoo may seem trivial to some of you, especially if you only bath your dog once a year or so; there are still many pet owners out there that are oblivious to the fact that the majority of pet shampoos on the market contain quite scary, toxic ingredients. Think About This: The skin is the largest eliminative organ of the body and over 70% of what is put on the skin is absorbed directly into...
read moreBath Time For FiFi ?
Are you aware that bathing your healthy dog more than once or twice a year is not really necessary unless they are being shown or doing therapy work? In fact, frequent bathing can ruin the balance of naturally occurring oils your dog’s body that keep the skin and coat healthy. Are you also aware that the majority of pet shampoos on the market contain not only harmful but toxic and often times carcinogenic ingredients? Now, of course, should your dog roll in the mud or in something that smells horrid, then bathing is surely in order....
read moreVitality, Vital Force, Vital Animal
By Dr. Jeannie Thomason You have most likely read or heard the term “vitality”, “vital force” and most likely, “vital animal”; quite a lot over the past few years, but what does this mean? It is defined in a few different ways but in animal naturopathy, we define it as: balance, homeostasis, high vibrational frequencies, a strong, properly functioning (or balanced) immune system. Immunity and Vitality You see, immunity is a joint effort encompassing the entire being – all parts of the organism. The Vital Force plays a...
read moreTiters and Immunity
By Dr. Jeannie Thomason Do Titers Measure Immunity? A titer test typically measures only ONE aspect of the immune system’s response to exposure to a virus or microbe – Particular antibodies circulating in the bloodstream. Titer testing cannot and does not measure immunity or memory cells. A titer test does not and cannot measure immunity, because immunity to specific viruses is not reliant on antibodies, but on memory cells, which we have no way of measuring. Memory cells are produced by T and B cells. These cells exist for the life of...
read moreEnzyme Robbing In Dogs
By Dr. Jeannie Thomason Enzyme Robbing in Dogs. What does that mean? When enzymes that are required for the digestive process are not available within the food being eaten, the digestive system has to “steel or rob” the metabolic enzymes that are produced in the major organs (heart, liver, kidney, etc.) to aid in digesting the meal. Robbing enzymes from various organs of the body that they themselves need to function properly will eventually have a detrimental effect on those organs. This is called enzyme robbing. Dogs and cats,...

What do animals and vibrational frequencies have to do with wellness? By Dr. Jeanette (Jeannie) Thomason, Animal Naturopath “Everything in Life is Vibration” ~ Albert Einstein The law of nature states that everything has a vibration.

By Dr. Jeannie Thomason When heat destroys enzymes, enzymes become nonfunctional. When we feed heat-processed or cooked food to our dogs (carnivores) the naturally occurring, necessary enzymes are now absent; placing a greatly increased burden of digestion on the pancreas.According to Gabriel Cousins, MD in his book “Conscious Eating”: “Evidence…strongly suggests that eating foods devoid of enzymes, as a result of cooking, food irradiation, and/or microwaving causes an enlargement of the pancreas and also stresses associated...

Many of the toxic chemicals lurking in our homes are what are called Hormone Disruptors. Hormone disruptors are in everything from cleaning products, synthetic fragrances and food packaging! In biology class we learned that our bodies are run by a network of hormones and glands that regulate everything we do. This network or system is called the endocrine system. While you may instantly think of the endocrine system in the context of puberty, it actually plays a much bigger role and in ALL phases of development, metabolism, and even...
