- How To Talk To Your Vet About Your Pet's Food
A great question from one of our customers about how to talk to your vet about your choice to feed your pet species-appropriate food.
Plus, we bring back our interview with Jim Carlson, DVM, CVA, CVSMT from Lifetime Pet Wellness Center so you have a chance to hear from one of the best vets in our area.
Dr. Jim Carlson is a 1993 graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. He began his veterinary career doing mostly western, or conventional, medicine. As with many veterinarians, Dr. Carlson became dissatisfied with the responses he would get from the allopathic approach.
Slowly Dr. Carlson began to integrate other types of treatments, such as nutritional medicine, using products like glandulars and whole body supplements from Standard Process. He began practicing traditional homeopathy, and in 2003 added homotoxicology to his repertoire. In 2004 Dr. Carlson attended the Chi Institute to be trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, and has been certified since 2005. In 2006, Dr. Carlson became certified by The Healing Oasis Wellness Center, and by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association in Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy, what we can call veterinary chiropractic in Ohio, since 2007.Jim's Facebook page

13 min - Understanding Pet Allergies
As we enter the warmer months, allergies rear their ugly head with our pets. But what are pet allergies? How do they happen? And what as pet owners should we know about how to help our pets with these allergies?
The bottom line, it's about managing the symptoms, and understanding why the allergies are occurring.
Food is the most important aspect of how we can help our pets control allergic reactions.

30 min - Starting Your Puppy On A Raw Food Diet
Puppies can eat raw food just like an adult dog can, no matter the age or breed.
But it is necessary to make adjustments to traditional raw feeding ratios when feeding a puppy a raw diet. This will ensure the diet provides recommended allowances for essential nutrients.
Providing proper nutrition when feeding a growing puppy is very important to ensure the puppy grows as healthy as possible.
What I cover in this episode includes
Why should you start feeding your puppy (after weening) raw pet food?
How should you do it?
How much should you feed as the puppy continues to grow?
And a question from our customers about allergies!

28 min - Prescription Diet Pet Food Myths
Why are "prescription diet" pet foods called prescription? Especially when there is not a trace of medication to be found.
We have back with us to talk about how we can do better for our pets, and not be strong-armed by vet clinics (that may be owned by the pet food company they are encouraging you to buy!).
As Anthony states...
There's nothing medicinal about them. The only thing that makes them a prescription is the fact that your veterinarian has to write a prescription for it.Also...
This is a huge marketing scheme, the targeted marketing that I was talking about, where it's like, they know these vets have influence over you. This is what gives them the edge on their food. Because when you look at their food and look at the formulation of the E and we'll look at this here shortly of some of these prescription diets, they have almost identical formulations for half the cost. In the grocery store aisle.Some links that are mentioned in this episode...

1 hr 1 min - Natural Heartworm Prevention
April is National Heartworm Awareness Month. Is there a better way to prevent heartworm in your pet?
In this episode, we cover a lot of ground, and hopefully you will gain a better understanding of how your pet can get heartworm, and how you can prevent heartworm, naturally.
What are the drugs that are typically prescribed?
What are the side effects?
Are the drugs technically a preventative?
When should you strategically give medication?
And ultimately, are the drugs necessary? That's where we need a better understanding of the cycle of heartworm and heartworm disease, which are two different things.

27 min - Natural Tick And Flea Prevention
Most of the common tick and flea prevention medication prescribed by veterinarians contains insecticide. This is how fleas and ticks are killed, once they bite into your pet as the host.
There are better ways, more natural ways, for tick and flea prevention.
First off, we will always encourage your to access your situation. Weigh the risks of medications for your pet.
Natural deterrents include...
- nutrition - less processed food
- avoidance - avoid certain parks and trails during high tick and flea season
- supplements - like local honey and yes, even garlic
- Earth Animal Products
- topical powder
- Wondercide Spray
- check your dog - use a flea comb
