Our Mottos: "Make Informed Decisions"
&
"There is Usually More Than One Way of Doing Something Right."

Discussions on all aspects of caring for companion animals, focus is health, including: Feeding (rawfeeding /BARF, home-made cooked food), Supplements, Grooming, Exercise, Training, Complementary Alternative Veterinary Medicine (CAVM), Conventional Vet Med (AKA Integrative Vet. Med.), Holistic Healing Modalities: Acupuncture, Acupressure, Chiropractic, Homeopathy, Massage, Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM), Flower Essences, Essential Oils, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Reiki, Ayurveda, Kinesiology, etc.

Nutrition, the 'Foundation of Health', is the most popular topic. Some dogs & cats are unable to tolerate a raw diet, so this is a good forum to discuss home-made food. We agree Dogs & cats are meant to be fed primarily meat-based / animal protein in their diets -- unless it is otherwise medically advised.

"Because nutritional biochemistry is constantly evolving, some have questioned whether a manufactured diet can ever contain 'complete' nutrition. One example can be found in the fatal consequences of dietary taurine deficiency that occurred in cats being fed, interestingly, a high-quality premium diet (Pion and others, 1987). ... scientists cannot know everything necessary about animal nutritional requirements." - Excerpt from: "Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine, Principles and Practice", edited by Allen M. Schoen, DVM, MS, and Susan G. Wynn, DVM

"If a diet is unnatural, disease will keep company with those subjected to it." -- Juliette de Bairacli Levy, Author of "The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat", first published in 1955
