Cancer in Dogs; No Dancing Matter

Cancer in Dogs; No Dancing Matter


Cancer is the #1 killer of all dogs.

99.9 % of all the calls from pet owners that I get on a daily basis from around the United States say that their dog died of cancer. Their dogs died at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 and beyond. Is this acceptable? Anyone that has prematurely lost a beloved dog to cancer knows it is not acceptable and they are mad as hell.

Let’s stop dancing around the problem.

Actually, many of us that are raising healthy beautiful dogs, do know what is causing cancer and we know how to stop it or at least slow it down to save some of our beloved breeds like the Golden Retriever.

The answer doesn’t lie in certifications and out of date recommendations from dog clubs and dog websites; many of which are feeding their own revenue agendas.

1. If you feed an animal of any kind (people included) nothing more than cardboard, preservatives and indigestible ingredients, how long could they survive? How about if you got pregnant while you were eating nothing but cardboard; how healthy would your baby be? How about if you had 10 babies? Then, those babies grow up eating cardboard and they get pregnant and had 10 babies….on and on.

Research has backed up the facts on diet for dogs. They must have REAL food. Meat (protein), Vegetables, Fruit on a daily basis in order to Thrive and fight off disease of every kind. They need REAL, raw bones. Never, never, never cooked bones. The calcium in real bones will protect their joints and hips, clean their teeth, and lower bad breath. No….raw bones are not dangerous.

2. In-breeding, Line breeding, and Selective breeding.

I know, I know, I know, that many moons ago this is how we achieved the breeds we have today. But folks it has gotten way out of hand. Most people do not realize how often in fact at an alarming rate that inbreeding is going on.

Do you think it is o.k. or acceptable to breed daughters back to fathers? How about breeding brother and sisters? How about breeding females back to grandfathers, mothers, grandmothers? It is being done every day in every breed.

Generation after generation in-breeding, line breeding is being done in our dogs and the people that are doing it are defending it to the hilt.

All dog breeds lifespan are decreasing every year. It won’t be long that we won’t have beautiful Goldens and other breeds.

Help me in demanding that dogs’ health be a priority.

1. Feed your dog a quality kibble of High protein, low carbs and no grains.

2. Give your dog raw bones.

3. Real, human grade raw or cooked meat every day. Just a little piece of raw will give your dog the enzymes they need to digest their other food.

4. Vegetables, Raw or cooked (raw is always better).

5. Fruit of all kinds. ( Never give grapes or raisins, onions, garlic, chocolate).

Before you buy a puppy, make sure the parents, grandparents and great parents are NOT RELATED.

We can all DANCE when we bring our breeds back from the brink of extinction. Maybe then we will be forgiven for what we have done in the past.

Ear Infections in Dogs

Ear Infections in Dogs


Check your dog’s ears once a week. Ear infections are more common in some breeds verses others but no breed is immune to ear infections.

Ear infections can cause a dog to become irritable or to lie around like they don’t feel good due to the painful infection.

Ear infections usually have a bad odor. If you notice a bad smell coming from your dog, check their ears.

Ear infections can, but not always, have a discharge coming from the ears and can make a dog’s eyes runny. Dogs may pull at the ears or shake their head.

Remember to keep your dog’s ears clean and dry. Dog’s that swim often tend to be prone to ear infections due to wet ears.

Some breeds like poodles, schnauzers and cocker spaniels, to mention a few, needs to be seen by a vet or groomer often to remove impacted hair common to these breeds to prevent ear infections.

If you think your dog has an ear infection they will need medication from a veterinarian to relieve the symptoms and heal the infection.

Giving your dog proper nutrition; meat (raw or cooked), vegetables (raw or cooked), and fruit (no grapes or raisins) and a good kibble of high protein, low carbs, and NO grains will maintain your dog’s health in top condition and he/she can ward off many illnesses.

Remember…RAW bones only. Never cooked bones. Cooked bones will splinter and rupture your dog’s intestine. RAW bones however give your dog the calcium they need for good health, clean teeth and makes for a happier dog!
