FOR THE PET PARENT WHO REFUSES TO SCRIMP

First of all, a quick "thank you!" to "Gail" in Baltimore who's responsible for my waking up this morning to another 5 star book review!  What a great way to start the day, knowing I've touched a stranger's heart :-)

Those of you who've read my book, know that through the years  I used several AZMIRA products for supplementing Buttons' diet to keep her immune system strong and her body alkalized and inflammation-free. MEGA PET DAILY, SEA SUPREME and YUCCA INTENSIVE are the three I've used and shared about most, all with fabulous results.

Please know: I get ABSOLUTELY NO kick-back, promotion, or compensation of any kind from sharing about these products or from your purchasing them. I just know that over the last 30 years, this company has never compromised on quality as seen here.

If an ingredient in one of their formulas is unavailable or not up to their extremely high quality standards, they will suspend or discontinue the product! To me, that is a clear indication that money/profit is NOT their bottom line: YOUR PET'S HEALTH IS!

Bottom line of this post: AZMIRA doesn't scrimp and neither should you. Please research the companies whose products you rely on and make sure they truly have your beloved animal's good health in mind- because that is what is at stake.

Thank you to the good folks at AZMIRA for continuing to hold the high quality standards they always have. It's not easy to go against the norm and do what's right.

Comment Questions: Do you ever research the companies whose products you use? Have you ever called a company and asked questions about their products before purchasing them?

A FREE LECTURE FOR TUCSON ARIZONA PET PARENTS

"Help Prevent Your Pets From Ever Developing Cancer"

On Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 6:30 pm, The Holistic Animal Care Shoppe 6336 N. Oracle (SE corner of Oracle and Orange Grove) welcomes author and certified holistic pets/toxic-free lifestyle consultant, Nadine M. Rosin who will help you stack the odds against your pets ever developing a degenerative disease.

One in 4 dogs will die of cancer according to the Morris Animal Foundation. That's over 60 dogs per day in AZ. But 8-year-old Buttons didn't die when she was diagnosed - even after the vet gave her only 6-weeks to live without chemo, radiation and amputation. That's because Rosin didn't fight Buttons' cancer. Instead, she implemented a "clear/cleanse/build" protocol to help Buttons' body HEAL ITSELF. After 4 months, Buttons was cancer-free and thrived an additional 11 years to the age of 19.

This free, interactive lecture will include valuable information from Rosin's one-on-one holistic consultations followed by a question and answer period with the audience. Afterwards, she will be signing copies of her book, The Healing Art of Pet Parenthood available now for purchase at both Holistic Animal Care Shoppe locations (part of the book's proceeds the night of the lecture will go to the Humane Society of Southern AZ).

"Be it human, canine, or feline, the body's natural state is one of vibrant health," says Rosin, "But we've forgotten that because these days we know few, if any people who are vibrantly healthy. Cancer isn't something we 'catch', but rather, something the body develops when the immune system is overburdened with unnatural substances. These toxic offenders enter our bodies through our food, water, the air we breathe, what our skin absorbs and how we handle stress. Because their bodies metabolize everything so much faster than ours, our pets are even more vulnerable than we are when it comes to developing cancer, and most home environments are teeming with substances that are toxic to pets, unbeknownst to even the most aware pet parent."

Is Your Pet a Bag Full of Chemicals?

Pet parents are always asking me what I think the best pet food is. An important question for sure, as we are what we eat, regardless of species. Ultimately, a body is only as healthy as the food it is made up of.

My answer is always the same: do some research so you can make an informed choice for yourself and your pets. A good place to start is here.

Personally, I feel best when I keep it simple and have the most control over individual ingredients. For me, that means shopping at my local health food store and home-cooking from scratch, 2-3 organic, all-natural ingredients (organic, free-range ground turkey, organic quinoa and/or millet, grated raw veggies) and adding a few very high quality, clean (no additives, fillers, or flavorings) supplements (I've had great success with Azmira Sea Supreme and Mega-pet Daily).

Please take the time to be informed about what your pet is consuming so they don't end up being a bag full of chemicals. Remember, even processed food labeled "all natural" can be deceiving. In addition, every consequent treatment hinges on the foundation built by diet as well-respected herbalist, Michael Tierra reminds us,

"Diet is the essential key to all successful healing. Without a proper balanced diet, the effectiveness of herbal treatment is very limited. With the appropriate eliminative or balanced diet, herbal treatment will prove itself to be effective where no medicine will work and will often be faster than the quick but temporary relief of Western drugs."
