Seems like every time I turn around some other commercial pet food has crashed and burned and is no longer a good bet for my pets. I just found out that Natural Balance sold out… repeat… SOLD OUT… to Del Monte. At this point, allegedly, ingredients in Natural Balance are coming from the Pet Killer capital of the world, China. No thanks! And one of my students was feeding her cat Blue Buffalo and her cat died from it. She says Blue Buffalo won’t recall or give her the time of day. Wellness sold out to Proctor and Gamble a long time ago. In general, I don’t trust pet foods not to be using fish from the Gulf. If you have read my past posts on the Gulf, you will know what a toxic death mess it has become. And the Gulf is not a bathtub, that crap is now traveling all over the world. With non stop radiation streaming into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima, I just don’t feel safe to buy any fish from anywhere, period.
A while ago my animals got sick on Taste of the Wild, and two of my cats died from eating Nutros a few years ago. That is why I say feed your animals whole organic ingredients, cooked or raw, (just no cooked bones), do good supplements, and forget about commercial food.
Now we come to horses… way more tricky. How do you get organic hay and organic feed ? It is pretty easy to get organic grains and vitamins etc, but much harder to find organic hay and organic hay pellets. With horses you may just have to try to avoid the worst stuff. At this point that would be anything that is heavily sprayed with pesticides, and anything that is genetically modified like beet pulp and alfalfa. Another issue with alfalfa is that it can mineralize in the gut and form enteroliths; which will kill your horse. Any doubt see the photo below and read this article: http://americashorsedaily.com/chronic-colic-may-mean-enteroliths/#.U9e0IGd0wiA
In southern California, horses are becoming severely ill and dying. Is is suspected that this is from alfalfa hay grown on sewage sludge. Really??? Welcome to our world.

Make the effort to protect your animals…find out where things come from and how they were grown. Go organic whenever you can. And, heads up, you need to be going all organic for yourself as well. HELL NO GMO!

Healing Our Earth
I have had a number of emails about using healing energy and positive visualizing to help address the dangers of the radiation being poured into the oceans by the Fukushima power plant. I figure it can’t hurt, might help to do so. The suggestion is as follows:
Each day at noon, spend five minutes in meditation, visualization, and prayer to help heal the planet, the waters, the plants and the animals. Send love to all parts of the earth. Visualize everything on earth as healthy, vibrant and thriving, Just do it … we don’t have to know the way this can be accomplished, you are just setting the energy for thing to shift.
