Answer 1

Your dog might have a gum infection or a tooth problem. You should have the "smelly breath" checked out by your vet before becoming your dog's chef.

Answer 2

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMChy

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 3

Answer 8

Healthy Powder
(used in most of the recipes)

2 cups nutritional (torula) Yeast

1 cup lecithin granules

1/4 cup kelp powder

1/4 cup bonemeal (or 9,000 milligrams calcium, or 5 teaspoons eggshell powder)
1,000 milligrams Vitamin C, (ground), or 1/4 teaspoon sodium ascorbate ( optional)


Mix all ingredients together in a 1-quart container and refrigerate. Add to each recipe as instructed. You may also add this mixture to commercial food as follows:1-2 teaspoons a day for cats or small dogs.

Ingredients are available at most natural food stores.

___________________________________________
Eggshell Powder

This is the cheapest route, because you can make the supplement yourself from egg shells, which are very high in calcium carbonate.

Wash the eggshells right after cracking and let them dry until you have accumulated a dozen or so. (Each whole eggshell makes about a teaspoon of powder, which equals about 1,800 milligrams of calcium.) Then bake at 300 degrees F for about ten minutes. This removes a mineral-oil coating sometimes added to keep eggs from drying out. It also makes the shells dry and brittle enough to grind to a fine powder with a nut and seed grinder, blender or mortar and pestle. Grind well enough that there are no sharp, gritty pieces.

Onion Warning!!!

The FEEDING OF ONIONS TO DOGS SHOULD BE AVOIDED. Onions contain a disulfide compound that may have an effect on circulating red blood cells. Excess onion consumption affects the red blood cell membrane, causing the membrane to weaken and rupture. This event results in hemolytic anemia, and can be fatal. Signs of onion toxicity appear from 1 to 4 days after the ingestion of onions. Clinical signs include vomiting, diarrhea, depression, and dark-colored urine. Veterinary attention should be sought out if any signs of onion toxicity are present.
