Can food truly cure pet diseases?

Image
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.
