Treat Dog Cancer with Holistic Diet and Supplements
It is hard to hear that your
dog has cancer, but there are many things you can do yourself.
Cancer develops, because
your dog's immune system has weakened and was unable to fight cancer cells as
they developed. If undergoing chemotherapy, your dog's immune system is
diminished further.
Why a special
diet for dogs with cancer?
There are
many different therapies used to fight canine cancer, depending upon the type of cancer and its severity. But one thing
all dog cancers have in common is the need for a specialized diet. Every
process in the body is regulated and controlled by what foods dogs eat. If you
want the best chance for a good outcome, you must give your dog the proper
building blocks to use in fighting this disease, and eliminate those foods that
will cause further harm. Diet is crucial for a dog with cancer.
"Dogs
rarely die of cancer. They usually succumb to secondary liver or kidney
failure. These are cancer side effects that can usually be avoided by
controlling the diet"
Combining diet with traditional veterinarian treatment and immunotherapy
using supplements is necessary to improve your dog's immune system for
effective canine cancer treatment.
What Can You Do?
Often people feel helpless in helping their dog get healthy, but
diet is something you can do yourself that can make a difference.
"Diet
is one thing that is easily controlled, and is often the only thing that makes
the difference between a successful treatment outcome and a failure"
Even if not diagnosed with cancer, dogs need a
nutritional program to maintain their healthy immune system and prevent
illnesses from developing.
However, deciding what to feed your
dog can be a massive undertaking with such a wide range of options available.
So we conducted research and found
that the ingredients in commercial dog food may actually contribute to dog
cancer, because they weaken your dog's immune system, making it difficult
to fight diseased cells. These chemicals and animal-grade products
are found in almost all brands, including premium dog foods, even though
they may be labeled human-grade substances. Unfortunately, this does not help
your dog stay healthy.
Birkdale Pet Mix, on the other hand, is especially formulated
to give your dog exceptional nutrition without preservatives, fillers and
grain. Would your dog like to sample Birkdale Pet mix? If so, let us knowor if you've
already sampled it, you might want to purchase some to help your dog get
stronger.
We developed our pet mix so you can give your dog well
balanced meals and fight dog cancer. Birkdale Pet Mix
allows you to provide high quality protein, vegetables, fruit, and other
nutritious ingredients to strengthen your dog's immune system. Plus, your dog
will love it.
Pet Mix made with
only natural ingredients - Dog food that promotes dog health
Ingredients include carrots, whole egg, apples,
vegetable pomace (dehydrated carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce,
watercress, spinach), flax meal, broccoli, kelp, parsley, calcium carbonate,
garlic, ginger root, and garlic. You add the meat. Plus, your dog gets the
nutrients it needs, because they are not lost through the manufacturing process
and there are no preservatives or chemical additives.
Stay Away From Grains!
Dogs
have evolved over the past 10 million years, primarily as meat eaters. As a
result, they do not produce enzymes to digest grains and absorb these
nutrients. Yet, most commercial dog foods are based upon rice, wheat, or corn,
and, as a result, dogs have difficulty metabolizing grains, making it difficult
to build up the immune system to fight canine cancer. In addition, when grains
remain in the colon, it can lead to canine cancer and other illnesses. So while
rice and corn may be a good filler for dog food companies, they don't make a
good filler for the dog.
Pet
Mix, on the other hand, is grain-free, making it easy to
digest, absorb nutrients, and restore your dog's immune system.
Make Sure Your Dog Gets Enough Protein
A
dog with cancer is continually building new tissue, and adequate proteins and
cell membrane omega 3 fish oil are required to accomplish this.When adequate
amounts of the correct proteins and fats−the right kind−are not present in the
diet, the body will rob it from other places, leading at best to muscle
wasting, but more likely result in complications with the kidney and liver
functions.
Protein is necessary for cell repair. Unfortunately your dog will not get the high quality protein
if eating commercial dog food, even premium brands, because they contain a
large quantity of grains (soy) to boost the protein level. If there is a fairly
high percentage of "meat" in your current dog food, much of it, most
likely, comes from spleens, feet, ligaments, intestines, and other sources
generally not used for people and not necessarily nutritious for your dog
either.
We also learned that meat in dog food,
including expensive brands, includes a higher percentage of bones than
actual meat, although the combination is labeled meat. But with K9 Pet
Mix, you add the meat so you know it's healthy.
In addition, cancer cells use
carbohydrates from grains by taking amino acids from healthy cells, so again, it
is better to feed your dog meat rather than grains.
With K9 Pet Mix, you're giving your dog the best food whether he is healthy or
has cancer.
It's easier than
you think.
Wouldn't
you like to have natural dog food that would
helpyour dog feel its best? Of course, all pet owners do.
Wouldn't it
be nice to know that the dog food you are giving him is the best product
available for your dog's health? Here's a chance to do just that.
It's easy to
Prepare
To prepare
K9 Pet Mix, all you need to do is cook the meat-beef, turkey, or chicken in one
gallon of water. It is not recommended to boil the water, You may also use
chicken or beef broth. When cooked mix in one 2 pound bag of Birkdale Pet Mix
and let stand for one hour. We usually cook the meat but you can also mix it
raw.
5
pounds fresh meat 1 two pound bag of Birkdale Pet Mix 1 Gallon of water Place 5 pounds meat in soup or stock pot, add water. Turn
heat on low, heat water untill meat browns (do not boil). Pour your bag of Pet Mix in the pot and stir thoroughly.
Let cool. Divide into zip lock or similar bags. Refrigerate or
freeze.
Feel free to add canned sardines
(best), cottage cheese, eggs and yogurt (plain). High fat content is good. Some vets advocate a raw diet,
while some say it should be cooked. More important than cooked or raw is the
amount of animal-based protein and fats. Keep in mind that dogs are primarily
carnivores. They do best on the diet they evolved to eat, protein.
Certain fatty acids called Omega 3 fish oil are required in fighting cancer.
Fish oil is a good source of these specific fatty acids. We HIGHLY recommend fish oil be added to any cancer dogs diet. It is easy to get a dog to take their fish oil. If you open the
softgel, you will find it is stinky and fishy. It's like candy for dogs. They
love it. Just snip open the capsule and squeeze some out so the dog can smell
it the first time, and after that you should have no problem with the dog
taking the capsules.
