Itchy skin ??

Ive found that in most cases of itchy skin , its caused by heat in the blood which is sent to the surface causing tiny fluid sacks which are terribly itchy. These toxic fluid sacks are then released by the dog scratching . This is the body’s own way of detoxing .

Toxins Maybe Caused by diet allergens, or environment allergens which become over flow of toxins and the liver gets overwhelmed .

The best way to avoid this is to

1. Look closely at your dog’s diet . Is it canine appropriate and balanced ?

2. Environmental? Your dog’s skin is the largest organ and all things pass through the skin , which are then processed by the body. If there are too many allergens, this too becomes a toxin overload .

3 . Clean filtered water . So many toxins and heavy metals are present in the air that fall into the water . Its also good to have either a metal or glass bowl . Plastics are not healthy .

3 Regular detoxing . Wild dogs have an abundance of detoxing agents available through nature . Certain grasses , barks , and herbs .
Our pets rely on us to supply detoxing sources.

4 . Remember, just because you are not reacting to these toxins , means little .
Your dog’s system works 6 times faster than a human’s . So they are much more sensitive than us . Plus your dogs nose is in places we would never dream of putting ours! 😂😂

5. Treating the outside of your dog isnt going to fix the inside problem . So lotions and washes only relieve the symptoms, not the issues . You need to fix the inside to fix the outside .

6. A detoxing and natural therapies session can work on all aspects of your dog’s body which will create healing , balance and toning of all organs .

Our dogs deserve better . No body should call this any kind of food ! 🤦‍♀️

See this recent piece by Thixton?! It begins..."On Wednesday, a truck spilt its contents on the road in Queensbury, NY; the spill: rotting, decomposing future pet food ingredients..."
https://truthaboutpetfood.com/pet-food-ingredient-secrets-spills-on-new-york-highway/

Check out those ingredients guys - heads and guts, for the most part, transported in non-refrigerated open trucks.

This is probably up there with the most fetid, most toxic waste products you could ever handle.

Can you imagine if "they" discovered such ingredients were going into raw dog food?!!

Instead, on truly terrible matters like this, you will never hear a single word from any of the public whitecoat vets (whitecoats are doctors/vets privately paid by big pet food companies to relentlessly stir fear in the public about feeding pets fresh food).

Yes, bar the toxic ingredients and utterly dismal safety record of their product of choice all is peachy in their camp apparently!!!

They boil that crap (literally) up in a rendering vat, scoop the grey goo off the bottom and dry it into "meat and bone meal".

And of this revolting, dirt poor ingredient, cereal-based pet food manages to use around 4% (in products that say "WITH beef").

That should give you some idea of how cheap the rest of that kibble is to make.

Folk are paying $10/kg for that stuff from vets?! Twice the price of fresh meat off the supermarket shelf...for a meat eater!

Shame on them. Surely our dogs deserve better than this.

Now you can create balancing and complete healing diets for your dogs at home :)

14/04/2022

Balanzing Pawz now gives doggy owners the benefit of making their own herbal healing mixes at home. Also makes the beginner of balanced raw diets an easy to follow guide of how to create great healthy raw options for their dogs.
Introducing Balanzing Pawz Herbal Sachets of SHINEY STAR SKIN AND COAT Canine herbal mixes and DETOX AND IMMUNITY Canine Herbal Mixes.
Its a great way to make bulk diets that can be frozen for future uses , so you're always got a healthy meal for your dogs.
Simply just add 5 kg of muscle meats ( any meaty cut of protein, I dont use chicken as a rule) 90 % and secreting organs (heart, liver, kidney ect) 10% into a large container , add 1 Litre of good quality bone broth (I prefer turkey bone broth) add the 25 grams of herbal mix and if you like around 150 grams of blended fresh raw spinach. Then mix really well.
You can then either make rissoles or store in chinese containers and freeze until use.
Notice I didn't say add bone ? I never add bone to any of my mixes, as bone is best for ripping and tearing of meat off the bone, not only does that benefit your dog's teeth, but also encourages enzymes in saliva to help digest bone. So I feel a meaty bone 2 to 3 times a week covers your dog's bone intake.
Now all you need to do is add options to your dog's complete herbal healing meals. I often add a piece of fish, or an organic free range egg, blueberries, strawberries. How creative can you be? :)
Note : I always find it helpful for those transitioning to a raw diet, to add a teaspoon of slippery elm powder for every 10 kg of dog weight. This binds and protects stomach from transitioning acids that may cause loose stools.
