Finally, a moment to get this blog going

I am so busy, which is a good thing, but really cuts into my time for things like blogs. However, I do want to start posting every week. What I am sharing today is just a little about myself and my goals in creating this blog. I am a Doctor of Animal Naturopathy. What does this mean? I treat my own canines and counsel others on holistic alternatives for their pets. After 13 years of feeding a species appropriate diet to a multitude breeds, I discovered some interesting facts, one of which is each dog and breed must be treated individually. There is no one right way to successfully feed your dog. I firmly believe the basis for good health is a species appropriate diet, with dogs and cats, this is a carnivore diet, meat and bones. However, I have also discovered because of our practice of closing stud books and cycling inward with our breeding practices that different breeds, and individuals within those breeds, will need supplementation. For those interested in a good basic supplement for their animals, I recommend Dr. Pitcairn's book, which you can get at reasonable price from Half.com.
If you are interested in learning about Naturopathy or even getting a degree then I suggest you visit the Kingdom College of Natural Health website. They offer excellent educational opportunities at reasonable prices. They have also just added an outstanding degree in animal behavior. I am not studying for a degree in homeopathy (which I use and recommend).
I hope to present some interesting ideas in this blog which will I hope make you think outside the box. Let's see how it goes. Debra
