All very good questions. As far as pets they were cleared at the beginning, but vaccinating them in the future? One has to be concerned and have chosen not to with mine.
All very good questions. As far as pets they were cleared at the beginning, but vaccinating them in the future? One has to be concerned and have chosen not to with mine.
Thank you. What do you mean pets were cleared? My question is whether they are being affected by the people they live with that are vaxxed.
Yes, don't vaccinate your pets. 1) Overvaccinating animals is literally killing them and extremely unnecessary. There are animals who are living very long lives because they do not get vaccinated and do not get tons of drugs. We are now detoxing our dog using zeolite because he was stupidly given prozac at the rescue because of his anxiety. The prozac is extremely high in flouride and he's now got a high level of flouride in his 60lb body. AND, the freakin poisonous drug made him more anxious. 2) Get titers when you can because the antibodies last their whole life. There's proof of that.
Wow, that's sad Prozac for a dog. I noticed my mother was given the same antibiotic that was prescribed by the Vet for my cat, and needless to say neither one of them took it after that, and the Vet wanted to put like 6 of my 14 y/o cats teeth simply because she saw black stuff in them, and I said all she eats is hard food and won't touch canned, and she said she'll adjust. Yeah right, I never got them pulled and she lived until at least 18, and it's when I stopped with vaccinations. Sounds like you're doing the right thing and will turn out good for him.
I seen many comments on Zeolite and checking it out now, but never heard of titers? Any info would help.
It's very sad what they are giving to dogs & cats these days. They are literally poisoning them to death. I have a book's worth of information/stories of what our previous dog went through at the hands of idiot conventional vets and idiot holistic vets. That's why I started to research EVERYTHING 10+ years ago. Censorship wasn't there when I started researching which made a huge difference. With the drugs that the vets both conventional pushed on our previous dog, he ended up needing his spleen and gallbladder removed and he had hypothyroidism and polycystic kidney disease (which could have been genetic based). He went through hell because of them and our ignorance at the time. Needless to say, we were furious and did what we needed to do to keep him stay alive and happy. So we learned everything we could about his issues and asked many questions (vets don't care for us - lol - tough). He ended up living to 17.5 but would have lived longer if we had known more from the start. Once we understood how bad the pet commercial food industry was/is (it's quite disgusting and sad - One piece, those dogs and cats that they kill at the kill shelters are actually used as "food" in some commercial pet foods), we fed him ONLY organic/wild meat and organic vegetables mostly home cooked and some raw. He was still chasing the mailman 3 weeks before he died of polycystic kidney disease. He taught us a lot and because of him we are even more holistic and safe with our rescue.
It's so sickening when I see accounts of dogs with parents that have "good intentions" giving their dogs/cats these psych drugs and other drugs but boy are they stupid and yes I have to say it as it is. I offer advice to help them because I've seen these people euthanize their dogs over a distressed liver without giving them things like denamarin (milk thistle extract) which helps the liver rebuild. It's the one organ that can do that. I've suggested zeolite when they have cancer because it helps to activate the P21 gene, alkaline their body, and detox toxins but they don't want to give them anymore because of what they've been through. Makes no sense to me. Once someone is dead, they are dead. They are harming these innocent beings and it infuriates me. I guess you've figured that out already, lol. Anyway, if you don't know the ingredients of what's in any product, don't give it to your dog or cat. If you're that stupid to take it yourself that's a whole other story. There are so many other ways to help these beautiful beings. I get on a roll when it comes to the health of animals. lol
Just so you know I'm not asking you to do my research, just for names of books or sites you trust, as it's so easy to get misdirected theses days.
I've been feeding my cats Blue Buffalo Wilderness as it's supposed to be better, but they will hold out at time for Purina Naturals, and even though it's grain free I know Natural isn't necessarily natural. Like you say are any of these foods really that good for them. Homemade seems like the way to go.
Thank you but I don't use facebook. They banned real science and experts and have a lot to account for in the travesty that engulfed the world. No group would be worth joining, including any with classmates, or family. I understand if you choose to.
No, I'd have to say you have far more researched this than I, and would be happy for any direction on materials to understanding better. You talk about making your own food would be a great start. I've been looking into meats and organic is obviously the best. So any info you could direct me to on any of these issues would be greatly appreciated, my cats would be thankful. Believe me I understand how difficult it's become to find things when researching against the preferred narratives of multinational corporate controlled products. My old vets who've all retired or died off now were actually pretty good, but this new breed is something I want nothing of..
You've done your homework elaborately it sounds like to me. I'm sure your dog appreciated all of your efforts and the extended life and love you provided.
Thank you for your kind words. I will get back to you tomorrow. It's late here now. Hopefully, I can help you. I know more about feeding dogs vs cats and there is a difference between the two. Dogs can eat more vegetables vs cats who really are more carnivores and need the meat because they can't make their own taurine. I believe humans and dogs can make taurine. Cats suffer heart conditions if they don't have adequate taurine. Well, taurine is critical for many functions of all of us. Taurine is found in chicken and you can supplement but it's always good to start with real food.
I meant them sincerely. I did start researching and came up with a couple directly related to cats and even the differences between them and dogs. I found the info about the Taurine and other vitamins involved and the need to have vitamins and bone minerals mixes in to the meat as well and the specific measurements for recipes with links to some product ideas. Interesting that cats shouldn't get egg whites, where I think dogs can too.
So I have found some resources on food, but anything you have on pet health like the milk thistle etc, I found Zeolite not sure yet if the products are different for humans vs pets on that, but names of trusted books, vet's, or product suggestions would still be appreciated when you have some time. Thank you!
Help for dogs and cats. I think this is a good starting point. If you have any questions, please ask. Also, my apologizes for typos. BTW: Anything coming out of purina is pure garbage. It should be illegal for them to label it as "food". Another thing, It's important to look at what company owns the company who's product you purchase. Nestle owns purina and Nestle is one of the most evil companies on earth (there are so many).
1) For understanding, commercial dog or cat тАЬfoodтАЭ has many, many negative issues with it. First, if it's kibble that's being given there is absolutely NO high quality kibble and no nutritional value. Kibble is so processed that the nutrients are depleted from it. Vitamins and enzymes can not withstand processing or much heat for that matter (this goes for human processed food as well). So, manufacturers of these тАЬfoodsтАЭ throw in synthetic supplements that mostly come from china. Second, you really do not know what you're getting when you purchase most commercial foods. 1) They are not organic so they have glyphosate in them. Glyphosate is an extremely dangerous substance that chelates (binds to and removes minerals from the body), causes leaky gut which in turn causes a lack of nutrients to be used by the body and for toxins to get to places they shouldn't be in the body, it's a known carcinigen because of these reasons and others, it it sprayed on wheat to kill it so they can harvest it before it's really ready to be harvested (Side note: Cheerios is one of the worst foods in the world because it has a very high amount of glyphosate in it due to this), it kills off good bacteria in the gut (if you think about it, glyphosate is a pesticide so it's main purpose is to kill bacteria. Well it does the same killing inside the body as it does outside in the fields). 2) Many of the brands use all kinds of dead animal parts in the commercial food (you can research that yourself. It's just too disgusting for me to write about). 3) The wet food is very processed too (so no nutritional value and synthetic supplements there too) and it's also cooked in the can that has a lining of either BPA or some other plastic.
That's a little bit about the тАЬpetтАЭ тАЬfoodтАЭ industry. There are many, many blogs posts about all of this. And, other websites that speak to just another disgusting greedy industry.
2) There are a few supplement companies for dogs and cats that I trust. These are companies that use whole food supplements for the most part.
a) https://www.wellpetdispensary.com/ Dr. Robert Silver was instrumental in giving our previous dog 2 more months of life. If we had known to speak with him sooner, I know that would have been extended. Some of the products that Dr. Silver has do have some fillers as inactive ingredients, which I don't like, but overall, his products are good.
b) https://www.pethealthandnutritioncenter.com/ They have wonderful products. The owners are an herbalist and a pet nutritionist. You can email them for help if your dog or cat has a specific issue or multiple issues and they will respond with helpful supplements.
c) fourleafrover.com They have whole food supplements for dogs. You can call and ask if the supplements can be given to cats but I'd try the first two companies to start with.
3) Regarding zeolite and dosing: zeolitedosing.com gives dosing amounts for humans, dogs, and cats.
My husband and I and our dog have been taking the maximum dosage for a while now with no negative effects and we've had our hair tested to see if any minerals have been affected and it doesn't seem like any have been. The zeolite pure from zeohealth dot com is what we use and our dog uses. It's pure zeolite so since there are no fillers it's good for humans, dogs, cats. Just different doses.
4) Not only is it important to feed whole food to your dog or cat for breakfast and dinner but also for treats. It's important to know where the meats/fish are sourced. Only wild fish is safe. Farm fish is very bad for everyone. Two issues with farm raised fish are: they use dyes to make salmon pink for instance and processed тАЬfoodтАЭ to feed them the fish.
For meals:
a) Home cooked organic/wild meals or organic/wild raw meals are the best foods that dogs and cats can eat. A dog or cat would not go into the wild and look for kibble or canned food. They wouldn't look for cooked either but some just won't eat raw food. Our dog will only eat raw organic grass fed tripe but won't eat any other raw meat. Don't know why. You'd have to ask him. Anyway, we buy organic grass fed meats from the supermarket. It's human grade. Be aware that if you buy organic chicken it is not organic if the feed is not organic. Many will say vegetarian feed but not organic. So just watch for that. Also, the vegetables are all organic. We portion everything out based on Dr. Jean Dodds calculations. I don't know if the calculations work for cats (I would think so). You need to take into consideration the activity level of your dog or cat and current weight when figuring out how much food to give them.
With that said, one must really understand the nutritional needs of their dog or cat. As an example, taurine (as I mentioned prior) is necessary for everyone to have. Humans and dogs can make taurine in their bodies but cats can't so they need it supplemented by the foods they eat or sometimes by an actual supplement. Also, each individual, human, dog or cat, have different nutritional needs. For instance, one person might need more zinc or magnesium then someone else. So, things can get very tricky. If you're interested in more info on that, let me know.
This is a great company especially if you don't want to deal with some raw companies that offer parts of animals. Everything they offer is organic. The food from Answers is ground up so it's easy to work with. They have fermented raw milk, fermented bone broths (fish and chicken), and fermented cheeses. These fermented products are helpful to the microbiome especially since they are whole real foods.
c) There are many raw grass fed organic meat companies online. Our dog gets raw, green, grass fed, tripe every morning. Raw green grass fed organic tripe is an amazing food (not the white bleached tripe you see in stores for humans or the processed tripe in a can at the pet store). It offers enzymes and other nutrients that the body needs. These companies have products for dogs and cats that you order online and get shipped. You can talk with them about what to start with since raw is new to your dog or cat. There are several online raw food companies that will ship to you.
This is a dehydrated or frozen raw food that we supplement with when we don't have time to cook or run out of raw. It's 99% organic whole food. The only issue I have is that they put organic coconut oil in the food. Organic coconut oil might be detrimental the gut of dogs. I'm thinking it could be problematic for all of us. I haven't researched that well enough to say. https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/the-health-benefits-of-coconut-oil/ . You'll notice that in their cat food they put taurine.
Treats:
a) Some of the raw grass fed food companies have treats as well. Freeze dried or dehydrated liver, heart, lung, etc.
b) Our dog absolutely loves dehydrated fish skins. We do check to be sure where the fish was sourced from which is important not only for fish but for all meats.
5) Regarding vets: I don't know many that work with cats. So I would say Dr. Karen Becker might be a place to start ( https://www.mercolamarket.com/pages/about-dr-becker ). She's on Mercola's website and тАЬwritesтАЭ the articles for dogs/cats but I wouldn't stop there. The articles are helpful but I don't think all the products they sell on the mercola website for humans, dogs, or cats are pure enough sometimes. They have fillers that aren't necessary or even healthy (most fillers aren't). I would keep searching and reading because you'll start picking up info here and there and start coming to your own conclusions of what might work and what won't. I prefer purchasing supplements from those companies I mentioned above (#2) because I've purchased safe essential oil flea and collar for our dog on the mercola website and they really work so I buy an essential oil spray from Dr. Peter Dobias (in Canada) instead. He's a holistic vet. Bottom line is, it just takes time to figure out what works for cat.
Thank you so much and I'll be looking into it all. Funny you bring up toxins as I watched a docuseries by Zonia several weeks back and followed up with some testing. One of the bad unexpected readings is for Ochratoxin A where I'm 3.26 over the max reference mark. It apparently relates to water damage/mold and can have a serious affect on animals as well. So this is a must to start with now as I believe it's an area my cats frequent more than me but truly affects us all. I will gladly follow up with any questions or for more suggestions. Thank you again!!
Richard B. Ford, DVM, MS Emeritus is a Professor of Medicine Diplomate ACVIM and ACVPM (Hon) from the North Carolina State University. He serves on both the AAHA Canine Vaccination Task Force and AAFP Feline Vaccination Advisory Panel.
Professor Ford has written an article on In House Titer Testing and the benefits they provide for the pet as part of the Canine and Feline protocol.
A negative test result indicates the patient does not have protective levels of circulating antibody. HOWEVER, a negative test result does NOT necessarily define susceptibility.
Among Previously vaccinated animals, IMMUNE MEMORY (B-Lymphocytes) can be sustained for many years DESPITE declining antibody levels; exposure to a pathogenic virus (eg, distemper or parvovirus) can result in a RAPID and protective ANAMNESTIC RESPONSE.
INTERPRETATION OF ANTIBODY TEST RESULTS - The following interpretations apply to antibody test results for CAV-1*, CDV, CPV, and FPV, reported by a reputable diagnostic laboratory or obtained from an in-clinic test kit:
A NEGATIVE ANTIBODY TEST result in a Previously vaccinated dog or cat must be interpreted on the basis of age and prior vaccination history..
NEGATIVE test result in Protected Patient: Over time, antibody levels in a previously vaccinated adult dog or cat that is not revaccinated, or naturally exposed May FALL to NEGATIVE LEVELS.
MEMORY CELLS (B-lymphocytes), HOWEVER, can persist longer than antibody. Exposure to virulent virus is expected to rapidly boost the patientтАЩs antibody response and PROTECT.
If dog hasnтАЩt been exposed to the pathogen for a while ie parvo in environment or shed MLV virus in urine/poo from over vaccinated dogs the titer can be negative. Like us they donтАЩt always keep antibodies circulating if not needed, if not fighting at the time. They have cellular immunity. To raise titer get dog exposed to the pathogen.
Ok now I understand, when not fighting anything the antibodies could be lower. I believe this was being discussed in Red Blood cell counts in humans also recently.
Well apparently more info came out regarding this, but not sure I trust the sources coming from CDC, but we have to take all info into consideration. My question is how do they know pets got covid?
Did they use the same flawed PCR tests they used on us?
I have to take it all with a grain of salt, as my cats are on me everyday or on my bed etc, and that includes the period I got covid from the VA back in Dec of 21, and they were everyday then and still seem to be doing just fine. Just a year and a half older and almost 10 this summer and the other one only came to us (or me now) 3 months before that.
"Pet cats and dogs are much more likely to contract Covid-19 than their stray peers тАФ and cats are more susceptible to the virus than their canine counterparts, new research suggests."
Thanks funny. Thanks for the info. Dr. Jean Dodds is amazing and a friend. She helped save our previous dog a few times. It didn't matter where she was in the world she always responded to our questions via email.
Separately, my question wasn't about whether dogs or cats are carriers or can get cvd but whether they can be harmed by the shedding of the spike proteins and lipid nanoparticles that can cause cancer and damage the heart. There was a bunny that just died from an enlarged heart (out of the blue) and several dogs with cancer and a dog with a tumor on his lung.
All very good questions. As far as pets they were cleared at the beginning, but vaccinating them in the future? One has to be concerned and have chosen not to with mine.
Thank you. What do you mean pets were cleared? My question is whether they are being affected by the people they live with that are vaxxed.
Yes, don't vaccinate your pets. 1) Overvaccinating animals is literally killing them and extremely unnecessary.

b) Our dog absolutely loves dehydrated fish skins. We do check to be sure where the fish was sourced from which is important not only for fish but for all meats.
5) Regarding vets: I don't know many that work with cats. So I would say Dr. Karen Becker might be a place to start ( https://www.mercolamarket.com/pages/about-dr-becker ). She's on Mercola's website and тАЬwritesтАЭ the articles for dogs/cats but I wouldn't stop there. The articles are helpful but I don't think all the products they sell on the mercola website for humans, dogs, or cats are pure enough sometimes. They have fillers that aren't necessary or even healthy (most fillers aren't). I would keep searching and reading because you'll start picking up info here and there and start coming to your own conclusions of what might work and what won't. I prefer purchasing supplements from those companies I mentioned above (#2) because I've purchased safe essential oil flea and collar for our dog on the mercola website and they really work so I buy an essential oil spray from Dr. Peter Dobias (in Canada) instead. He's a holistic vet. Bottom line is, it just takes time to figure out what works for cat.
Thank you so much and I'll be looking into it all. Funny you bring up toxins as I watched a docuseries by Zonia several weeks back and followed up with some testing. One of the bad unexpected readings is for Ochratoxin A where I'm 3.26 over the max reference mark. It apparently relates to water damage/mold and can have a serious affect on animals as well. So this is a must to start with now as I believe it's an area my cats frequent more than me but truly affects us all. I will gladly follow up with any questions or for more suggestions. Thank you again!!
You're welcome. Hoping things are going well.
TITERS
Dr Richard Ford Antibody Titers vs vaccination
Richard B. Ford, DVM, MS Emeritus is a Professor of Medicine Diplomate ACVIM and ACVPM (Hon) from the North Carolina State University. He serves on both the AAHA Canine Vaccination Task Force and AAFP Feline Vaccination Advisory Panel.
Professor Ford has written an article on In House Titer Testing and the benefits they provide for the pet as part of the Canine and Feline protocol.
A negative test result indicates the patient does not have protective levels of circulating antibody. HOWEVER, a negative test result does NOT necessarily define susceptibility.
Among Previously vaccinated animals, IMMUNE MEMORY (B-Lymphocytes) can be sustained for many years DESPITE declining antibody levels; exposure to a pathogenic virus (eg, distemper or parvovirus) can result in a RAPID and protective ANAMNESTIC RESPONSE.
INTERPRETATION OF ANTIBODY TEST RESULTS - The following interpretations apply to antibody test results for CAV-1*, CDV, CPV, and FPV, reported by a reputable diagnostic laboratory or obtained from an in-clinic test kit:
A NEGATIVE ANTIBODY TEST result in a Previously vaccinated dog or cat must be interpreted on the basis of age and prior vaccination history..
NEGATIVE test result in Protected Patient: Over time, antibody levels in a previously vaccinated adult dog or cat that is not revaccinated, or naturally exposed May FALL to NEGATIVE LEVELS.
MEMORY CELLS (B-lymphocytes), HOWEVER, can persist longer than antibody. Exposure to virulent virus is expected to rapidly boost the patientтАЩs antibody response and PROTECT.

Great info. Thank you.
Thank you!
After a pup has seroconverted its immune for life. Titer can be negative but dog is immune antibodies are not immunity.
I assume their immune fighting ability might be enhanced then, though not giving them overall immunity prevention.
I donтАЩt know what your saying but once a pup is immune through natural exposure or jab, thatтАЩs it they are immune.
I was referring to this, so was trying to understand and maybe stated wrong.
"but dog is immune antibodies are not immunity."
If dog hasnтАЩt been exposed to the pathogen for a while ie parvo in environment or shed MLV virus in urine/poo from over vaccinated dogs the titer can be negative. Like us they donтАЩt always keep antibodies circulating if not needed, if not fighting at the time. They have cellular immunity. To raise titer get dog exposed to the pathogen.
Ok now I understand, when not fighting anything the antibodies could be lower. I believe this was being discussed in Red Blood cell counts in humans also recently.
Well apparently more info came out regarding this, but not sure I trust the sources coming from CDC, but we have to take all info into consideration. My question is how do they know pets got covid?
Did they use the same flawed PCR tests they used on us?
I have to take it all with a grain of salt, as my cats are on me everyday or on my bed etc, and that includes the period I got covid from the VA back in Dec of 21, and they were everyday then and still seem to be doing just fine. Just a year and a half older and almost 10 this summer and the other one only came to us (or me now) 3 months before that.
Mayo which touts CDC as source.

CDC remember to social distance with your pets, and maybe a mask too. I guess we quarantine them?
https://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/covid-19/pets.html
"Pet cats and dogs are much more likely to contract Covid-19 than their stray peers тАФ and cats are more susceptible to the virus than their canine counterparts, new research suggests."

Thanks funny. Thanks for the info. Dr. Jean Dodds is amazing and a friend. She helped save our previous dog a few times. It didn't matter where she was in the world she always responded to our questions via email.
Separately, my question wasn't about whether dogs or cats are carriers or can get cvd but whether they can be harmed by the shedding of the spike proteins and lipid nanoparticles that can cause cancer and damage the heart. There was a bunny that just died from an enlarged heart (out of the blue) and several dogs with cancer and a dog with a tumor on his lung.
From the begining in dog groups people were reporting behaviour problems with their dogs in jabbed families.
