Success Story – interview of Hilary Sloan – Pet Flora
Recently, I interviewed my friend Hilary Sloan who’s an advocate for animal rescuing and the wonderful human behind the ultra popular Instagram account ellabeanthedog. Hilary has fostered countless dogs and rescued three amazing little dogs: Ella bean, Coconut bean and most recently Fifi Von bean. Hilary is a raw feeding dog mom who has been interested in natural health for animals for about a decade now.

Read MoreNK Cells
With Cancer on the ever increasing rise in both our beloved companion animals and ourselves, I thought talking a bit about NK cells and how to improve the production of them in the body would be a good topic to begin to discuss. I do have several articles on the immune system – what it does and how we are weakening it in our dogs but this article focuses specifically on NK cells. NK cells also play a role in adaptive immune response. Numerous experiments have worked to demonstrate their ability to readily adjust to the immediate environment and formulate antigen-specific immunological...
Read MoreInnumerable health issues – diet
Have you noticed that the majority of companion animals today are suffering innumerable health issues once unheard of in pets?

Read MoreBloat in Dogs
Bloat, (in dogs) or gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) as it is also known as, is when the dog’s stomach fills with gas and usually – twists, leaving no escape for the gas that builds up more and more, causing excruciating pain. Some of the signs of bloat are that the dog will struggle to breathe which means that vital processes can be quickly shut off. In many cases, severe distress, pacing, a bloated stomach, excessive drooling and dry heaving is going on. If the gas is not relieved soon enough, death is very possibly! Just recently, I stumbled upon some information that I was...
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 primary role, because it coordinates immune...
