Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, you love done too, sensu wow for you young.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four c Y Radio and I'm once again
here on the Positively pipe Man segment of the Adventures
of Pipe Man here with the Eath Guru. And last
week we talked about cat nutrition. This time it's the
dog's turn. Dog nutrition.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Absolutely, you know we talked to on the cat one.
Of course, the cat's being an a'boge at carnivore as
opposed to what our canine friends are, which are basically
opportunistic carnivores. And what that actually means is they're more
of a scavenger. You know, it doesn't matter if the
meat is fresh. You know, it could be previously killed,

(01:02):
road killed, three days old. They don't care. The smellier
the better.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Can a big cat. It could be cat poop too,
that's right exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
We talked about that. But that's just it.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
They will eat a lot of inappropriate things if they're
out of balance. Now, being that they're a carnivore means
that they do need mostly animal fats and proteins. Will
they adjust and adapt to staying alive with carbohydrate based
commercial foods. Absolutely doesn't mean that they're gonna be happy,
It doesn't mean that they're gonna be healthy.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Uh, they should be.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Eating basically the same as our cats, which is a
raw meat diet.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
You know, some of them will prefer likely cooked or warm.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You have to remember that when they get a kill
in the wild, that food is not frozen, it's not cold.
That body is still warm, and that's the way they
like they prefer their food.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
They'll eat a vryet.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Again, like with cats, we recommend of rye rotational diets,
something different every day so we get all the different
nutrients into the body and that we're cleansing out the
very specific toxins. And because dogs are opportunistic and scavengers,
they will they will eat a lot of bad stuff
and that can cause a lot of a lot of

(02:18):
angs to dog owners where they're spending a ton of
money on veterinary services that basically do nothing. And uh,
you know, we have to understand that all these almost
all these so called.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Diseases that we see in these emerged trips in the
emergency room, these are nothing more than events.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
You know, you I just had a case with a
American bully that jumped off the bed, heard its shoulder
and its back leg was basically dragging it instead of
running to the vat. We use some some phototherapy and
some increase in nutrition, no drugs at all, and within

(03:00):
three days the dog was running around again. It's you know,
it was just the body has to heal itself. You
can't keep pushing it. We have to watch our dogs
as well too, because we have a tendency to push
them into our direction. So you know, if you're a jogger,
that's what you want to take your dog out for
a run.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
I mean you know that.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
You know, dogs legs are half the size, half the
length of ours, so that they're working twice as fast
and burning up energy and we don't even think about it,
the wear and tear that we're putting on our dogs.
So a good nutritious diet is important. You know, not
only meats and fats, muscle meat and fats, but also

(03:39):
organ meats, eggs, raw dairy, bone broth. All these things
that actually make us healthier are also good for our dogs.
Stay away from the sugar.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I was thinking about something like, so you're talking about
their scavengers and I've seen it in my you know,
in my life, where they'll eat stuff that makes them sick,
but they won't even hesitate the next time around to
eat the same thing that makes them sick.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's it's because their nutritional needs are not being met.
They will go out of in a wild Canines will
haunt areas for different types of foods based on what
their bodies need. That's natural cravings. The body that actually
tells us the same thing when it's not being polluted
by you know, the synthetic sugars and addictive drugs that.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
They add to our food. You know, this is the
nature of it.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
And of course the dogs, it's it's not quite as
bad as it is with cats because they are more
than a scavenger type. They will seek out what they need.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
You know.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
One of the interesting things that I've been preaching for
probably twenty or thirty years now, when I was doing
dog training, the number two training issue was you open
up the door and the dog charges out, runs.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Away, and that was you know.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Major major problems with with training. And the interesting thing
about it was usually the dog will show back up
at the door two three four hours later, usually with
either a burger king or a McDonald's bags, a hat
and basically what they were doing they said, hey, mom,
you're not feeding me the right stuff.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
I'm going hunting. And that's what the exactly they do.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Then they hunt for trash that's going to fulfill that
bodily need that they need to try to stay healthy.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Wow, So I have a question too.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Is like I've always known my whole life, most people
notice that you can't give chocolate to dogs. It could
kill them. Is that true? And why is that as?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
It?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Is?

Speaker 1 (05:45):
It?

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (05:46):
There are compounds in a lot of different things, Like
you garlic, they tell you the same thing, grapes, chocolate
of course being a big one. Actually, the small amounts
of the compounds in there that caused problems will not
affect your dog if unless they eat way too much.
And then most cases they will not eat too much,

(06:07):
just like us. You can't eat excessive amounts of chocolate.
I will vomit it up.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I can unfortunately, but I'm now But yeah, my kids
used to make fun of me, Like they'll say, don't
leave a pan of brownies out at night. They'll be
gone by MORI and they're not cane. I could I
could sit and eat a whole pand of brines in
one sitting. No problem. That super rich chocolate cake that
people take a bite of it and they're like, oh,

(06:36):
that's too rich for me. I'm like, hand it over,
I'll eat the whole thing. You know, not anymore because
I did poison my body. But but I mean, like
it is. I'm definitely an addict to chocolate too. Like
like people don't realize all this poisonous stuff. Your body
gets addicted to it, and so that's why you think

(06:58):
that's what your body needs because you're craving it. But
you're craving it because you're addicted to it. Whereas when
you start going clean, which I did, I didn't have
the cravings anymore. Once I went clean. You know, I
was able to even walk into like an ice cream
shop with my grandkids and look at it. I didn't

(07:20):
have to be somebody, oh well, I can't go and
saw it, look at it, smell it, and not need
to have it.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
No, that's true. Once we get out of the bodies clean.
The same thing is true with all of our animals.
As long as we're feeding them clean and the species
appropriate diet, we don't have a problem. And the other
thing is again just like when we talked about the cats,
leaving dry food down for them all the time. First
of all, it's carbohydrate based. They can't use it. It
actually bloats them because you got to think the body's

(07:49):
got to provide a lot of water in order to
start breaking it down. Are then drinking, you know, incessively.
It's like just they can't get enough water because they
are dehydrated from the dry foods. And like I say,
they you know, they're without the proper nutrition. They're gonna
be looking for the thing. There's like dogs eat sticks
and stones and shoes and pantyhose and you know all

(08:12):
kinds of other things that are inappropriate.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
The whole clothing thing is because our clothing smells like
us and we're an animal.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
You know, so they're.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
That makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, it's you know, and again we need to be
doing the detoxification. And you know, we use a lot
of herbal products of course at my palaeopattern with biocomplete
uh to detoxifi because again, our dogs are even worse
than cats as far as when it comes to chemical

(08:47):
pollution in their body because we're using all these flea
and tick products on a regular basis. You know, we
poison the body to kill one little tiny insect. I mean,
that's ridiculous. And you know we're treating it for something
that they don't normally have. You know, your dog doesn't

(09:07):
isn't loaded with flees all the time. They're not loaded
with ticks all the time. Heartworms the same thing. And
yet the veterinary community says, you know, they sell it
as a prevention, when the box itself says, this is
not a prevention.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
This is a cure.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
And yet people just keep spending their money and keep
poisoning their dogs in wondering whether it's a you know,
having to do their six month checkups and the blood
work is all screwed up.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
So let me ask you another question. I find that
a lot of dog owners, because the vets say it,
are like super loyal to the only food they should
give their pets is that one.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
What's it? It's a diants say it.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yes, there's no science in science diet by the.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Way, like as with that, people are like it's like
a cult, it.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Is, And well, of course all of medicine is even
with you know, with humans. I mean you got some
people that are just so strict with their doctors. They
couldn't couldn't possibly look at a healthy meal. I mean,
that would be impossible. And of course, you know doctors
veterinarian gene they do not talk about health. They have
no health in their toolbox. It's all medicine diagnostics. And

(10:27):
you know, the body is a dynamic machine. Our dogs
and cats are exactly the same. They're changing from moment
to moment.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
You know, when you're running with your.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Dog, obviously they need different energy than when they're you know,
snuggle up with you watching a movie. It's like, you know,
but so we have to understand that it's true with
us as well. But dogs being a scavenger, and actually
we're kind of a scavenger too, because you know, you
open up their refrigerator door and it's like what's in there?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Sometimes for me nowadays, because I eat so healthy, it's
kind of like turning on the TV. It's like I
opened a refrigerator and uh, okay, yeah there's nothing on
the TV right now.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
I'll open it and close it. I'm like, yeah, there's
nothing I want in there. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Well, it's funny. I was at a supermarket a couple
of about things. About a month ago, we had to
pick up something for to make a meal, and.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
We walked the whole supermarket and I was asked, well,
did you see anything as you want? Nope, nothing in
this whole supermarket that I really wanted because I knew,
I know how, you know how it's prepared, I know
the chemicals that are in it.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
It's like, I can't do this. This would be a
good steak, just like my dog wants.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
And so let's talk about different breeds of dogs. Do
they have different health needs for nutrition? Because like you know,
dog parents, they're not gonna know, and the vet's gonna
probably give the same advice to every single person. And
I'm sure different breeds of dogs have different needs.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
The need, the basic needs are going to be all
the same. And if you're feeding a species appropriate diet,
like I said, a good raw meat diet to a dog,
you're not going to have the issues in between the
individual breeds. Now, you take something like a bulldog or
front set whatever with their pushed in faces necessarily and
they could never hunt for themselves. You know, first off,

(12:22):
they're short legs and the way they're built. They couldn't
chase anything down, and if they did, they couldn't grab
onto it because there's no face, there's no you know,
basically muzzle to be able to grab onto it.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
We do see a lot of problems over a certain.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Breeds with with commercial foods, particularly big breeds. Hip displasions
is probably the most prominent one they've been looking for.
You know, veterinarians have been telling us for seventy five
years or more out that it's genetic. But yet all
the research that they did at Cornell and Penn State
and all the other good veterinary schools out there, they

(12:58):
have not been able to isolate a genetic link, a
genetic cause. However, there's been tens of thousands of papers,
research papers published on how that particular problem is actually
caused by dry dog food and the mechanics of it.
When you stop and think about physiology, and unfortunate doctors

(13:21):
and veterinarians do not study physiology to any great extent.
It's just basic an effet. But when you're going through
a growth spur on a dog, on a big breed,
a German shepherd, a great gain whatever, Okay, the body
starts storing up, storing up nutrients, and then we're going
to build these bones very very quickly. Well, when it

(13:42):
starts to click in, okay, muscle stretches, fat doesn't.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
So what happens is the growth of that bone is
actually being.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Restricted by the fat because we're feeding on carbohydrates, which
converts into sugar and then fat. So the bone does
not developed properly. Of course we're going into a joint.
It's also developing. There's no muscle to hold that together,
so that joint is just moving around and it just
wears on that soft bone. And now you've got hip problems.

(14:14):
And you know, fortunately they it can actually be reversed
through just good nutrition. But of course, you know, doctors,
what do they want to do? Hip replacement? You know,
twenty thousand dollars per hit.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, I don't even see where that's good.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
And adults when people I know that get hip replacement,
I don't know, it seems like they have issues.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, well, the body anytime you get replacement, first off,
you're going to get rejection because the body's seeing it
as a foreign body. Just like if you you know,
you mentioned you have have a bacteria laden food or
a toxin laden food, the body's going to reject it.
And it does the same thing with artificial joints. And

(14:59):
of course the other thing is on the other side
is doctors and veterinarians love to just remove body parts.
You know, we've had discussions on that before. They're just crazy.
You know, you don't need a gall bladder. Well wait
a minute, why is it there?

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Then?

Speaker 4 (15:13):
You know, I don't need an appendix? Why is it there?

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Then?

Speaker 2 (15:16):
You know, well, because their initial training was playing operation
as a kid.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, so once you started altering it, and of course
you know then spayan uter enters into that too. The
nutritional needs are different because the whole endocrine system is
screwed up, and you know, the pancreas is of course
a part of that. That's what makes our digestive enzymes.
So if I'm giving them carbohydrates, which they're not supposed

(15:42):
to have, the body then has to make the amlas
to start breaking down the carbs. And also it then
has to make a ton of insulin, which you shouldn't
be doing on the carnivor. And you know you've had
you've had events when when it comes to insulince that
that your body is not making insulin, but the liver's
not making the end time to.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Use it, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
And you know once you start adding artificially too, the
body quits making it.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Exactly, it feels it has no need to, you know.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yes, So how do people find out more about They're
not only there dogs, nutrition, but anything I having to
do with their dogs and cats. You know, I know
you have my Paleo Pet. People can check out and
Pet Health Cafe Tom all about both of those and
anything else.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
You know, Pet Health Cafe of course, as you're well
aware because I started with you, it's been around for
the eighteenth season. You know, we've been doing this conversation
for a long long time. A lot of different topics,
a lot of in depth stuff. You can go through
the archives and just find whatever you need. A lot
on cancers, a lot on nutrition, a lot on behavior

(16:50):
as well. Pet Health Cafes on YouTube twenty four to seven, iHeartRadio,
among the whole host of other other venues. My Paleo
Pet has its website, Mypaleo pet dot com. Again, all
of our products from that we make from biocomplete are
listed there. Different herbals, botanicals, foods, and farm, the tables,

(17:15):
items for pet parents, a bunch of magazine articles and
that sort of thing are also listed in our on
that website. And of course they can reach me through
the store itself, my Paleo Pet in Papino Beach, Florida.
You know, you can call the store set up an
appointment for consultation. You know, a lot of people avoid

(17:38):
paying me for those because they sneak in the front
door and just ask questions. But you know, and I'm
always willing to, you know, explain the processes behind it.
Of course, we just physically moved, so we had the
new dresses are up there on the website and everything.
And one of the unique features we've added to this

(17:59):
is that we at an educational center where we'll be
able to bring in guest hosts and things of that
nature to expand on our knowledge base of getting to
getting proper information, true information on health through wellness to
pet owners. And of course they're pets themselves.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Nice yet definitely, everybody's got to check out My Palo
Pet and watch and listen to Pet Health Cafe because
that is truly the only place where your pet has
a voice. Absolutely, So thank you for your wealth of information,
pet health Guru, always a pleasure and always helping our

(18:39):
pets for so long, it's amazing and we'll see you
next week on the Positively pipemin segment of the Adventures
of Pipe Man.
