Let’s start this off by saying DON’T PUT ANYTHING IN OR ON YOUR DOG WITHOUT RESEARCHING IT YOURSELF. THAT INCLUDES FOOD, VACCINES, HEARTWORM MEDICATION, FLEA AND TICK APPLICATIONS/MEDICATIONS AND MEDICATION IN GENERAL. NOTHING SHOULD GO IN OR ON YOUR DOG THAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT.
Do you know that most Veterinarians have no clue about vaccines, nutrition and toxic products such as heartworm and flea and tick side effects. Sadly it’s true and what bothers me the most is they can go and learn but don’t! Would it shock you to know that Vets in training usually have a 2 hour course on nutrition which is usually given by an outside source like Science Diet or Royal Canine. So of course do you think those companies are pushing other products…..LOL that would be the day! So they ‘sell’ the fact that both of these companies have a ‘prescription’ diet that can ONLY be purchased from the vet. Right away you have to understand the problem here. Are they making foods that will help your pet or the pockets of everyone in the conspiracy. Food company makes an agreement that their wonderful prescription diet will only be able to be purchased at the Vet. The Vet buys it in at wholesale cost and then agrees to sell it at a certain price (so Vets don’t undersell each other) and it has a hefty markup so the Vet makes money. So along with lack of education about GOOD nutrition, the blinders to sell the products who taught them about nutrition and the incentive to make money as well, now how convinced are you that your Vet knows about Good nutrition and has the best wellbeing of your dog? READ LABELS!!!!!
Do you know how dogs get heartworm? If your answer is NO, then you should and someone should have educated you when you were purchasing it at your Vet visit. You cannot protect your dog if you don’t know.
Heartworm is contracted from mosquitos, BUT……. It is ONLY a certain breed of mosquito, it has to be at least 65* degrees for it to be active, ONLY females carry the larvae and the mosquito has to have gone and bitten a heartworm positive dog prior! So ALL those moons have to be aligned.
So how does heartworm work? ANYTHING that kills a worm, flea, tick and insects is a pesticide that is POISON.
You give a chew or pill every month, so if your dog is 10lb and the chew is up to 25lbs you are over medicating the dog! But again like vaccines, over medicating is not a concern in the Veterinary world! I have heard ALL the excuses, in the chew, it’s like, well you can’t give less because you don’t know that the medication is distributed evenly and by cutting it you don’t know exactly how much medication your dog is getting. SMH! Mosquitos are not weighing your dog and I have yet to see a chubby mosquito? As long as there enough medication (POISON) in the dogs system (blood stream), for its weight, it will work!
So heartworm is location and commitment specific. I would NEVER tell someone not to give heartworm!
TPR is located in New England, we get the four seasons here, so in winter we do not have the worry of mosquitos as much and as long as you are committed to spraying your dog then you can make the decision only to do heartworm in warm/hot months, so the dog gets a break, OR not at all.
So you give heartworm medication, what do mosquitos eat? BLOOD! So the heartworm medication goes into the blood stream, the mosquito bites the dog transferring the larvae to the dog, there is enough POISON now in the dogs blood stream to KILL the larvae so it does not grow into an adult worm.
So understand, your dog actually gets heartworm and you give the medication to kill the larvae, and because you caught it at the larvae stage and does not grown into an adult worm, your dog tests negative when tested!
OK so now lets give you a awe, awe moment. Have you ever seen a veterinarian running through the woods dishing out heartworm medication or putting drops on the back of the neck or strapping on collars to coyotes, fisher cats and foxes? Well how come we don’t see them dead on the side of the road (or anywhere) or limping around with Lyme disease? Well it’s because they live in the wild and know how to adjust to their environment. They brush up against plant material to get the oils and sap on them and then they self-groom to distribute it through their fur. If you do see a wild animal they are not walking around itching and scratching!
So my question is, what chew/pill do you take every month for mosquito borne diseases like, Triple E, West Nile Virus or Zika? That effect humans? The answer is you don’t, you are encouraged to use a spray and long sleeved shirts and pants to have less skin exposure. So if we can be vigilant and spray why would that not work for our dogs? The only thing you need is the commitment to do it. Go down to the bottom of the post to see what we use.

SO IMPORTANT that you understand what is INFORMED CONSENT, It is the most important thing I can tell you. YOU need to get educated about what YOUR dog actually needs rather than what the Vet wants to give them. https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/why-vets-are-getting-away-with-murder/

Products we use (all of our rescue dogs go home with a spray, we receive nothing in return for promoting a product, it is because we believe in them)
www.wondercide.com
https://www.coventrybodycare.com/product/ticked-pure-rose-geranium-essential-oil/
We spray Wondercide into the cup of our hands and add two drops of Rose Geranium oil, rub the hands together and then rub all over your dog. Then rub on you and a mosquito, flea or tick will be running in the opposite direction. Be sensible, keep out of long grass, wooded areas and treat your yard with all natural spray. Wondercide have products that attach to your hose to treat your lawn.
When your dog comes in from outside use a sticky lint roller to go over to check nothing has dropped or is walking on them. Always check your dog after being outside.
www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com is a wonderful resource for anything to do with a less is more approach to pet care.
I take the time to write these posts to educate people on what they should know to keep their dogs healthy and not rely on a Veterinarian who has to make money off your dog. We posted from a Veterinarians standpoint yesterday on conventional versus integrative approaches to Vet care. Today we addressed the products that are sold. We have over 13,000 followers and if you are ONLY here for cute Poodle pictures you are in the wrong place! If you don’t care about a holistic/integrative approach to dog care please UNSUBSCRIBE. Thank you.
