Pet Food RecallsThe pet food recalls continue. The best "wholistic" suggestion to prevent danger to your pet is — STOP feeding dry kibble dog food. In our "wholistic" opinion, dry kibble dog food is the least nutritious form of food to feed a carnivore. Furthermore, a majority of all pet food recalls is with dry food. Canned food, freeze-dried food and raw food have a much lower percentage of recalls. To read more on our "wholistic" philosophy on pet food, go to the following links:

********************************************************************************* Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) and PhosphorusIf your pet has Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) or Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), please see your veterinarian first for proper treatment. We offer the following “wholistic” nutritional lessons from our experience, so you might have more options for your CRF pet.
Limiting phosphorus in a CRF pet’s diet has been shown to improve the
kidney symptoms. That is
By limiting the amount of meat protein (high phosphorus content) in a
carnivore’s diet, one is denying
One “wholistic” way to make phosphorus in meat more absorbable and
utilized is to make sure the calcium to phosphorus ratio is the same as
Nature intended. Nature Another source of calcium are algae. Animals naturally get algae in the wild since it is in every natural body of water, in the soil and on plants. Bio-algae concentrates contain more per gram of naturally occurring calcium than cow's milk with higher bioavailability and zero toxicity. Bio-algae concentrates also contain calcium spirulan, a form of calcium that has extraordinary properties. In studies, calcium spirulan is shown to inhibits HIV at very low concentrations by preventing the virus from penetrating the human cell membrane and infecting the cell. In that sense, calcium spirulan is an antioxidant.
Another “wholistic” option is to increase the efficiency of the kidneys,
stomach, pancreas, intestines, liver, etc. for more complete digestion
so the body may be able to digest and tolerate normal levels of
phosphorus in meat. This could result in regenerating and rebuilding
previously lost kidney function. By adding a native
CRF pets tend to get finicky taste buds in their latter kidney stages.
We and many pet guardians
We hope these “wholistic” lessons we learned will give you a three-dimensional approach to give your CRF-challenged pet a better quality and longer life like we have enjoyed with our CRF pets (cat to 21 years old and dog to 18 years old).

because
a CRF body is not as efficient at processing phosphorus (meat is high in
phosphorus), so it accumulates. But from our “wholistic” perspective
that is a one-dimensional approach that just addresses the symptoms and
does nothing to balance the WHOLE body for more complete wholistic care
and better quality of life. It is like hiring a tennis coach who only
teaches you the overhand serve (one dimension) and forehand (two
dimensions) strokes. Yes, you can be a good tennis player and win some
games but you will not be a complete champion and consistently win in
tournaments without knowing the backhand stroke. The overhand serve is
like Western medicine's ability to accurately diagnose the disease
(Chronic Renal Failure or Chronic Kidney Disease) with their lab tests
(blood work and urinalysis) and scanning ability (x-rays and
ultrasound). The forehand stroke is like Western medicine's ability to
quickly reduce or eliminate the obvious symptoms (by reducing the
phosphorus and protein in the diet, subcutaneous fluids). Based on our
90+ years of “wholistic” experience, we desire to give our pets the best
chance for a longer life with less suffering by providing a more
complete championship "wholistic”
solution
with a three dimensional approach. By using the following “wholistic”
lessons, one is adding the backhand stroke (third dimension) to a pet’s
CRF or CKD care by balancing ALL the glands and organs (not just the
kidneys) for more complete care and what we hope is a
better quality and longer life.

the #1 source of nutrition for a carnivore. Many pet parents tell us
they have a hard time getting their pet to eat a low-protein diet. Is
there any wonder why? The food does not smell like the meat-rich food
Nature designed carnivores to eat. Obviously, if the kidney symptoms are
severe or the phosphorus levels are dangerously high, one must follow
their vet’s advice. Here are some wholistic points to consider.

to eating the meaty parts. This naturally supplied the proper calcium
(from bones) to phosphorus (from fleshy meat) ratio for proper
absorption. But processed

purchased every flavor in the pet store in an effort to find something
our CRF-challenged pets will eat. By balancing ALL the glands (the
master gland-pituitary, pineal, hypothalamus, pancreas, amygdala-sense
of smell, etc.) and organs (kidneys, liver, stomach, intestines,
olfactory bulb in the nose=for better scent detection, etc.) one may be
able to keep their pet’s normal taste buds for longer and avoid having
to spend a fortune on pet food in an attempt to find a
palatable flavor.
