Overweight Dogs and Cats: the dangers and how to prevent naturally

Overweight Dogs and Cats: the dangers and how to prevent naturally

About 50% of dogs and cats are overweight. It has become so common that when people see a dog or cat that is a healthy weight they think they are underweight…a overweight pet increases the risk of arthritis, diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, respiratory disease and more!

The main culprit for pets becoming overweight is the fact that the vast majority of pets are fed kibble. Kibble is high in starch, carbohydrates and sugar. Most kibble is actually higher in carbs than protein. Like humans, when we eat fast food and junk food, we gain weight. The exact thing happens to pets. Kibble is comparable to eating fast food.

Benefits of a raw food diet for dogs and how to switch from kibble

Benefits of a raw food diet for dogs and how to switch from kibble

Even if a commercial pet food claims it "meets nutritional requirements", it is designed to be a convenience food that lasts longer than fresh food. Think about processed food for humans: we know they are not the healthiest choice for us, yet we tend to buy it because it's quick, easy and lasts longer on our shelves. Same goes for processed pet foods. Kibble tends to be full of preservatives and grain additives, which compromise about 50% of processed pet foods

Benefits of a raw food diet for cats and how to switch from kibble

Kibble tends to be full of preservatives and grain additives such as rice, wheat and corn which compromise about 50% of processed cat foods and are used simply to hold the food together. Cats are obligate carnivores and although carbohydrates can be used as a source of metabolic energy, they have a limited capacity for carbohydrate digestion.

Natural ways to care for your pets kidney

Natural ways to care for your pets kidney

Poochie Moochie Edmonton is here to offers ways to prevent kidney damage and tell you how a natural diet and supplements can help your pet manage this disease. 

Raw food especially turkey, chicken and duck is the easiest form of meat to digest because the kidney doesn't have to work as hard to digest as it does with kibble...kibble provides your dog with little to no hydration. Raw food can contain up to 70% moisture which ensures your pet is staying hydrated and in turn helps the kidneys function properly.

Causes and management of Dog Diabetes

Causes and management of Dog Diabetes

There are a few causes of diabetes which include:

  • Breed predisposition 
  • Being inactive
  • Lack of Omega 3 oils
  • Chronic inflammation stemming from diseases such as IBD, pancreatitis, or skin allergies
  • Use of medications such as steroids long term
  • Diets high in carbohydrates

Most of the reasons above can be linked to a kibble fed diet....we know that kibble is more high in carbohydrates compared to a raw diet. Diabetes is characterized by having too much sugar in the bloodstream. Carbohydrates create sugar (glucose.) Dogs are more than capable of producing all the glucose that their body needs without any dietary carbs whatsoever.

Causes and prevention of dog ear infections

Causes and prevention of dog ear infections

 Ear infections are unfortunately very common in dogs and can lead to pain, hematoma, balance and coordination issues. In this blog we're going to discuss causes and treatment. Allergies are often the number 1 cause of ear infections. Often allergies will lead to inflammation and the inflammation can specifically target your pup's ear. When the ear canal is inflamed it becomes more narrow which is the perfect condition for bacteria build up.
