HealthyAussies is dedicated to learning and sharing information regarding *natural* methods of maintaining the health of our Australian Shepherds -- a HOLISTIC approach to wellness. Members of this group feed species-appropriate raw and practise (or are learning about) natural methods for optimal health and strong immune systems.
We seek to discuss natural nutrition for our dogs, with a distinct focus on their nutritional needs based on their anatomy and physiology as carnivores.
Whether you are new to feeding [raw] species-appropriate and/or natural health or have been practising these principles for years, you are welcome here. We ask our members to respect others choices for nutrition or healthcare -- there is no one way that is right for every dog -- but please realize this group does *not* accept or consider commercial kibble as a healthy option. A balance of information will be achieved by reading, learning, discussing, and then making our own decisions and choices.
Members have full access to the extensive links, files, & archives.
Also included is a BREEDERS DIRECTORY (for natural rearing breeders).
HealthyAussies welcomes many viewpoints for healthy discussion, though it is not a forum for argument or debate - the focus here is on a positive atmosphere.
Natural health/holistic husbandry does NOT include commercial pet foods; routine use of drugs/pharmaceuticals; nor the use of toxic cleaners, fertilizers, pesticides, and the like.
