Thoughts and Quotations from People we respect.

Nancy Curran, DVM

"Dogs and humans have kindled a deep relationship like no other pairing on the planet. At the center of that relationship is food. Feeding our dogs every day is part of the unwritten, unspoken deal we've made in return for their protection, their aid in hunting and herding, and, for most of us nowadays, their companionship. We love to feed our dogs and our dogs love to eat ... As a holistic veterinarian, I have witnessed firsthand the healing power of food, whether commercial or homemade, that has been made in a mindful, loving way." - Nancy Curran, D.V.M., Two Rivers Veterinary Clinic

Lisa A. Pierson, DVM

"Kittens do not need 'kitten' food. They just need plenty of canned, species-appropriate (low carb/meat-based) adult food. Keep in mind that there are no mice running around in the wild with "kitten" or "adult" stamped on them. Kittens eat just what their parents eat - just more of it on a per-pound-of-kitten basis." - Lisa A. Pierson, DVM

Rick Woodford

"In the fifteen-thousand years since dog first introduced himself to man, countless dogs have hunted with us, protected our families, entertained us with their foolish antics, aided those who are handicapped, and provided company to the lonely. We in turn give them a warm place to sleep and a share of our larder. Food and love are the currency in our contract with dogs."
- Rick Woodford, "The Dog Food Dude", excerpt from Feed your Best Friend Better

Chad Culp

Nutrition is a huge component to raising a well-balanced dog. Intrinsically, we know this to be true about people but most people don't give it much thought when it comes to feeding their dogs. The wrong diet can affect your dog in many ways. It can make him either sluggish or hyper (nearly impossible to train when either of these are present) and can create a host of problems from skin conditions to more serious illnesses.
From a training perspective, you have a much better shot at being affective if your dog isn't chasing his tail. A lot of the commercial dog food has ingredients that would be equivalent to giving your child pop tarts and cocoa puffs for breakfast and then expecting him to sit still in class.
Homing in your dog's diet, along with his training, is the best way to get your dog well-balanced and well-behaved.

"Over the decades, the pet food industry has grown to be a powerful force in America's economy. We've been taught by it to believe that pet food comes out of a can or package---period.
You can boost your pet's health profoundly by making one simple decision. All you have to do is change his diet from unhealthy commercial-brand fare to something you may never have imagined giving him; real food! ... what could be more natural than an animal eating (real) food?"
Martin Goldstein, DVM, excerpt from The Nature of Animal Healing

"Veterinarians practicing integrative medicine have also brought another important idea to the field. They believe the focus in veterinary care needs to shift from disease and treatment to health and healing. On the human side this is equivalent to recognizing the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. It also preaches the importance of treating the mind and spirit as well as the body. In simple terms, a happy pet (or person) is more likely to stay healthy in the first place and heal more quickly when sick." - Find more from Dr. Marty about Integrative Medicine.
