Free Pet Parenting Tips

Every week (unless notified of a scheduling conflict) throughout the year, people with issues about their cats and kittens, dogs and puppies, and even horses can call in to Dr. Jane Bicks for insight to their pets’ problems. She spends about an hour in open discussion answering all sorts of questions.

Her standing in the field of holistic Veterinary science is stellar. Her bio is extensive covering highlighting her years at Cornell University (ranked #1 in Veterinary science), her work with major pet food corporations (she left because of low quality standards), her appointment by Rudolph Giuliani as the head of the nations largest pet rescue shelter, her books on pet nutrition, and finally becoming the formulator for HealthyPetNet.

We have listened in on many of her weekly calls, and although the conference call environment can be daunting at times, there is a lot of valuable information to pick up on for free (from the basics of holistic approaches to health to more insight on available technology). She is a believer in the scientific report stating cats can live to be 30 and dogs can live to be 27. Nutrition is one of the main factors we can take charge of to achieve this.

What exactly is Holistic Veterinary science, and why should I care? Holistic means the whole. Factors to consider then when formulating a premium holistic pet food would ignore no part. If all the parts are served quality daily requirements, the whole would function to it’s peak–living longer, healthier lives.

That would include (nose to tail), teeth, eyes, brain, ears, digestive system, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, urinary tract, the immune system, joints, muscle, tissue, the circulatory system–well, you get the point.

So we wonder how (even though there have been price increases due to higher associated costs) can we be serve a 30-pound dog for only 60¢ a day and a 12-pound cat for 29¢?

They are not making the large profit others make, for sure. It’s hard to find any food anywhere at those prices today. Hats off to a company who makes it their mission to care for our pets this way. Backing up the claim is a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all products sold.

Behind the guarantee is something else you can’t find. Their protein source (chicken meal–not the flesh, real breast meat with the moisture removed) is USDA certified like we would find at the meat counter. Their facilities are also USDA inspected. And the quality standard is APHIS certified (a European standard higher than US standards).

A recent email sent to Dr. Jane’s customers said “ We work very hard to provide you with the highest-quality foods and baked treats for your companion animals. We have never skimped on ingredients because we simply will not tolerate a diminishment in quality. When it comes to companion animals, their health always comes before considerations of cost. Providing the best for our families comes at a premium, and all of us here have worked tirelessly to keep that premium at a minimum for our family of customers.” -Dr. Jane Bicks

Get in on some of these calls if you are curious about the statements made here or you just need a little advice on something that’s nagging at you about your pets. It’s well worth the minor annoyance of the call format. A little education could save your pets’ lives.

Fat Cats

Of 78 million cats in the US, one-fourth to one-half of them are overweight. This is usually blamed on kitty not being active enough. Let’s take another viewpoint since kitty will be kitty no matter how many toys we buy (Lucy will play with the bobber you put on your fishing pole just so many times).

Here’s something you CAN control–nutrition. Understanding 2 things can make all the difference in the world. You will see a difference if 1) You relaize the daily moisture requirement of your cat (not water–this is why cats love mice so well since they provide all the moisture and nutrients needed), and 2) the protein source in your cats source of nutrition.

Get them healthy the natural way: 5 minutes of exercise and a natural holistic diet that includes the right amount of moisture. 

Let’s start with your cats’ protein source. Do you even know what it really is? It is listed in the top 3 ingredients on your cat food label. Here’s where everybody gets fooled. They may see ‘Chicken’ and believe they are giving the best they can. If the FDA required certification, the ‘Chicken’ you bought couldn’t be passed on to you as chicken flesh. Commercial brands have been using ingredients rejected for human markets for decades. If you see a grain used as the protein source, you are feeding a carb diet and they are storing more fat each time they eat. So you can’t tell from the label unless the food is certified what you are getting, and if your cat’s supper comes from a shelf, you are getting carbs, rendered meat, or (chicken by-product) feet and feathers. You are what you eat, so are they. If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t feed it to them. Get USDA Certified ingredients with a satisfaction gaurantee. It’s out there and available to all 78 million cats for pennies a day (feed a 12-pound cat for 29¢ a day).

Health Note: If a cat does not eat for 24 hours, their livers become toxic. The good news is, Cats are genetically designed to live to be 30 years old. Nutrition plays a huge role in life span, and it is something you can take charge of.
