Do you see pet nutrition as just preventive therapy? I said, No Food is pure medicine How many cases can be healed through nutrition ⏩ A Parvo viral diarrhea can be cured with support of mostly food and minimal synthetic medicine ⏩ A canine distemper case can be cured with support likewise ⏩ A chronic gastritis (gastroduodenitis) case can be completely healed just with food ⏩ A canine hip dysplasia case can be managed ⏩ A case of urinary bladder stones can be stopped from recurring ⏩ A case of chronic kidney disease can be managed for longer without having pets to suffer You don't need hundreds and thousands of synthetic medication or synthetic supplements.

පොල්පලා (Aerva lanata) for pets - a cure or curse Aerva lanata (A. lanata), known as "Polpala" in Sinhala and Mountain knot grass in English, is a medicinal plant with its leaves used since ancient times in Ayurveda to "cure kidney diseases". For this reason, until now, pet parents have placed their trust in the herb to a level that it has become a "remedy to any" ( කෝකටත් තෛලය) or as a "free treatment" It has become a habit to give the extract of "Polpala" leaves to mostly cats and sometimes to dogs of Sri Lanka when - they stop eating - throw up - have elevated serum creatinine counts Yet, I see worsened cases at times. What's the science behind? Let's dive into this 1. Dehydration A. lanata is a natural diuretic. This increases the urine output. In any dehydrated pet, this can lead to exacerbated dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and an increased strain on the kidneys 2. Low blood pressure A. lanata c...

Pet owners think vets raise "good" dog breeds and I'm disappointing many 😅 International Dog Day - last post Meet Molly, our recent addition to the family ⏩She's  a cross bred fierce unpredictable old doggy who was on the street for several years during COVID. She survived the most difficult times alone although my mother managed to offer some food when possible She actually insisted us into adopting her She's our latest inclusion to the family and I'm a little proud that we decided to give her a safe home and she's very slowly becoming like Spot. Notice her dance moves in the image 😅 When possible ⏩ Feed a stray ⏩ Adopt a stray ⏩ Or atleast not harm stray 💡Any dog is a good dog no matter the breed True that vets have access to buying fancy dogs but... Let vets also raise cross bred dogs 😅🤦 #veterinarian #vetstory #vetlife #vetstory #internationaldogday #internationaldogday2025

Happy International Dog Day! Dogs = humans They can get things done, live rent free and rule the house and we'd still be okay, right? 🤣❤️ Treasure them and they will treasure you too This is my dog Spot Mc Delgado (to rhyme with our surname "Salgado" 🤣) who lived with us for 17 years. He was a protector, a real companion and a shoulder to cry on. Lots of moments were shared together with him as a family from birthdays to family meals. Was my best teacher, my patient and my study companion since O/Ls. We miss him even after 9 months 💔  but I'm glad we could give him the best possible life ever 😔😢 #internationaldogday2025

How to choose a good pet food or supplement - ingredient quality >>> ingredients      ✅ Natural over synthetic      ✅ Human grade over byproducts      ❌ No sugar base      ❌ Not heavily processed - ingredient quality >>> price      ⚠️ Price factor can deceive into quality nowadays - quality of approval >>> approval       ⚠️ Consider who approves. Intergrity is difficult to trace within a short time period. Approval is given by multiple professionals, authorities and regulations but Intergrity and the level of long term accountability to the particular approval is scarce worldwide These are the initial steps on choosing a safe pet food and pet supplement      #petlabs #petlabsnutrition #dognutrition #whattofeedyourdog #petnutrition #dogfood #petfood #vetnutrition #bestpetfood #catnutri...
