And then now it's time for Pet Health Cafe, where
7
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.679
your Pet has a Voice. And here's your host, Bill
8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:44.359
the Pet Health Guru, and.
9
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.399
Welcome to the Pet Health Cafe, to show where your
10
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.719
pet has a voice. This is Bill the Pet Health Guru,
11
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.920
and I've got a great show for you again tonight.
12
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.960
I'm hopefully going to go over a lot of good information,
13
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.280
which is what we need. Need you to share this
14
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.000
like this and subscribe to our channel so that we
15
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.719
can keep building this algorithm and get our information out
16
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.599
do more and more people. The chat room is open,
17
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:20.519
so if you have questions, concerns, comments, and any other
18
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.719
statements that you want to throw out there, I'll be
19
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:35.480
more than happy to address them. It's a topic that
20
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.439
I run into every day, and in fact, I ran
21
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.599
into it again today with a very very specific client,
22
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.040
and it's very frustrating for myself and for a lot
23
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.000
of my staff when this happens because we're trying to
24
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:55.680
do the best job that we can give you the
25
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.439
best information that we can, and that's very, very important
26
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.040
to us. The topic itself is why are you afraid
27
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:10.639
to make change? Why are you afraid to break from
28
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:17.960
your normal routine? Why are you afraid of going against
29
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.840
what sometimes is viewed as the norm. You know, we
30
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.400
do it sometimes when in our personal lives we want
31
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.240
to be different. We dress differently, you know, women may
32
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.280
wear different hairstyles and makeup and things of that nature.
33
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.840
But on the other side of that, when it comes
34
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:43.759
to doing functional things, if you will, we always seem
35
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:50.199
to be afraid to make a change. I remember growing up,
36
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:58.639
everybody was skinny and tan, and we used no sunscreen,
37
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:07.439
no sunblocks, no tattoos, none of this stuff. Of course,
38
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.400
now we'll take a look at our society and we're
39
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.800
filled with all of those things. So we're already making
40
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.879
a change from the so called norm. But when it
41
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:25.039
comes to health and well being and lifestyle, why are
42
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.719
we so reluctant? Is it one of those cases where
43
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.400
we just don't feel we have enough information? Are we
44
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:44.000
over analyzing? Is that part of the problem. It's the
45
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.879
term that sometimes use perfection paralysis. We want to have
46
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.360
the perfect answer, we want to have the perfect program,
47
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.639
we want to have the perfect solution, or we don't
48
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.800
do anything at all. But yet, when we know that
49
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:01.240
when it comes to health and well being, that there
50
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:06.039
is no perfect because the body is dynamic, it's always changing.
51
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.280
And that's true with our pets. And of course, on
52
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.199
the other side of that, our pets do not speak
53
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.919
in a language that we can understand. For the most part.
54
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.240
Because of this, we are playing that guessing game all
55
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.920
the time as to what they need, what they want.
56
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.920
I mean, I know my own dog will come up
57
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.560
to me and just sit and stare what do you want?
58
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.079
You were just out, you just ate, you've got water?
59
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.439
What do you want? And of course, as soon as
60
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:47.680
they see I'm busy, into their bed and go to sleep. Okay,
61
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.879
you didn't have to come over here to me and
62
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.519
sit in front of me to tell me you're going
63
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.160
to go lay down and go to sleep. So I
64
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:02.079
wasn't able to understand, if you will, what they wanted.
65
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.480
So because I don't understand, I can't make it change
66
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.560
in what I'm doing. Is it that they just wanted more attention?
67
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.920
Could very well be I mean that's you know, quite
68
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:19.319
often a very specific thing. Our animals like a lot
69
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.839
of attention from us. They want to be the center
70
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.879
of focus. And of course the other part of that
71
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:31.959
is is we want to make them is healthy and
72
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.879
as happy as can be in the easiest way for
73
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:40.959
us as well. You know, we've spent seventy five years
74
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.160
throwing a bunch of dry food and a dish for convenience.
75
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:50.759
We don't investigate ingredients, we don't investigate nutrients, we don't
76
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.720
invest degate any of this stuff, although we think we are.
77
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:02.800
I remember, up until Bill two thousand and seven, with
78
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.360
the major pet food recall and all the animals dying
79
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:12.319
of kidney failure, nobody was really concerned about the ingredients
80
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:19.639
that are in the food. And the suddenly the grain based,
81
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.959
the weak gluten meal and things like that that were
82
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:27.759
implicated in that particular poisoning became of concern and we
83
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.600
made a little tiny adjustment to that. Grain free foods
84
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.000
were coming out, and again we thought that that was
85
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.759
going to be the solution to it. But when we
86
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:43.240
look at it, we only need changed probably one two
87
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:49.920
or three ingredient net whole two hundred different ingredient mix,
88
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:56.519
and we expected monumental changes. Well that's only one part
89
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.800
of the formula, isn't it. You need do more than
90
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.920
just those one or two components now, As I referenced,
91
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.920
as I began the show, I had a client come
92
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:14.199
in today. She's not a regular food client. She lives
93
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.839
rather a distant away from our store, although there is
94
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.879
delivery available in her area, but she started dealing with
95
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:35.079
a so called holistic doctor that's literally one hundred and
96
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.160
fifty two hundred miles away. So obviously everything's done by
97
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:45.800
telemarketing or tell them medicine. Unless she's driving up once
98
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.480
a month, once every two months, once every three months
99
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:54.720
for a consul. Doug has got all kinds of problems.
100
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.360
She came in because she could not get her regular
101
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:02.279
food because of the hurricane that we went through, and
102
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:06.439
the dog has nothing to eat, and as far as
103
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:11.639
she knew, our formulations from Biocomplete that we sell at
104
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.199
my Paleopad were as close as she could possibly come
105
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:21.519
to being able to fulfill this need. So I thanked
106
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.759
you for coming in, obviously, and I started talking to
107
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.920
her a little bit about the nutritional facts and what
108
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.199
we do and how we do it and everything else,
109
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.440
and I touched on the fact that the dog does
110
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.480
need a rotational diet. We have thirty some entresier and
111
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:41.080
you just need to mix a matchup. And I was
112
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:48.480
essentially quietly told that, well, this veterinarian has given me
113
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.120
a specific food that we need to try, and I
114
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.039
don't want to change it before our next consultation, so
115
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.720
that I don't we don't have to worry about different
116
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.360
foods causing different inflammations and different problems and things of
117
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:10.960
that nature. At that point, it's like, Okay, this is
118
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.320
what we can do for you. Obviously there was going
119
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.399
to be no listening to it because she's made up
120
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:23.759
her mind on a particular so called expert and wants
121
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:33.039
to follow that. I can respect that. However, what was
122
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.240
being done does not fit into the purview of what
123
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:42.759
we have found to be successful for decades in raw feeding.
124
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:51.440
Just so happens that this veterinarian put it on a
125
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:58.600
specific food that she has made for her. Nothing wrong
126
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.960
with that. In fact, she's followed a lot of my guidelines,
127
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:06.679
which I'm thankful for. But the major problem of it
128
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:16.639
was is there is only one formulation that means that
129
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:21.559
this poor animal is going to have to endure a
130
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:31.679
single meal for who knows how long, Meaning if it's
131
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.559
a beef for a turkey, or a chicken, or a combination,
132
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.840
let's say a beef and chicken blend, that's all that
133
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.720
animal is going to eat until the next visit and
134
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.240
possibly thereafter. Because if the animal seems to be okay
135
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.360
on it, well let's continue on this and let's not
136
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.279
kind of mix up the pot, if you will. Well,
137
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.240
at some point in time, obviously there's going to be
138
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:09.440
deficiencies formed, there's going to be intolerance is formed, and
139
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.039
of course the symptoms of the problems that they have
140
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:17.279
already are going to raise their head and vengeance and
141
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:24.519
when that happens, it's back to ground zero. Now would
142
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:30.559
you rely on this same professional to start all over again?
143
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.240
I mean, I've dealt with a lot of helistic veats
144
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.279
in the past, and you know that's sometimes a problem,
145
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:43.240
especially when your were, for instance, following this protocol that
146
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.440
this veterinarian came up with. And since there's a couple
147
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.440
hundred miles between her and the client and the veterinarian,
148
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:55.120
what happens on Saturday night when that dog all of
149
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:58.840
a sudden that body says, I'm done with this meal,
150
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:03.200
I'm done with this combination. I've got deficiency starting, I've
151
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:08.720
got intolent starting to rearch, bad head, and you, as
152
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:14.440
a pet owner, panic and go to the local emergency room.
153
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:27.320
Everything that you started will be gone. Antibiotics, steroids, hormone treatments,
154
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.919
other preventative medicines that you might not want, ve vex,
155
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.720
and other types of injectables that you might not want,
156
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:47.200
depending on the facility that you go to. So my
157
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.399
advice is that we have to look at a much bigger,
158
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:55.200
broader picture. I know it's frustrating for pet owners because
159
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.919
you're looking, you're looking, you're looking, and you're getting so
160
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:05.519
many different expressions of what people think is right. But
161
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.080
when you really delve into the science behind it, when
162
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:14.519
you look at species appropriate diets, when you're looking at
163
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.120
the nutrient levels that they need to sustain themselves and
164
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:33.399
where they're coming from, it's very very important. You know,
165
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.919
I present a lot of information here on this show,
166
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.679
and you know I sometimes here, well, where's the scientific proof,
167
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.879
where you know, where's a double blind study, where's this study,
168
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.480
where's that study? I want to submit something to you,
169
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:57.759
at this point in time that this is that research lab.
170
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.320
I bring you information. I bring you that based on
171
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.600
what we have done in the past on the backside
172
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:13.480
defeeding trials, the combinations dealing with the everything from diabetic
173
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:19.080
to cancer animals to all all immune to sometimes healthy
174
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:24.279
animals as well ages from just born up until very
175
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:31.759
very old and geriatric dogs and cats, literally tens of
176
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:41.600
thousands of animals over the years. You as my core
177
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.399
group of people watching and listening both on YouTube and
178
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:51.720
iHeartRadio and Spotify and all our other platforms. You are
179
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:58.279
my peer review board. You're testing this stuff. You're trying
180
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.279
this stuff. You're coming back to me saying, Bill, this
181
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.799
didn't work with my animal, or this did work fantastic
182
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:09.879
with my animal. And because we're working with a protocol
183
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.320
that is dynamic, we have to keep tweaking it, putting
184
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:20.799
it on a single diet, a single narrow protocol. Once
185
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:27.000
we started that, the body changes. It may not fit
186
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:32.600
in a day, two days, five days, two weeks. We
187
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.360
have to be able to tweak our program as we
188
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:48.080
go along. And this is extremely important. Is my study
189
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:55.759
is my client base, our listeners, a lot of which
190
00:15:55.799 --> 00:16:00.080
aren't even our customers of mine listening all over the
191
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:09.279
country and the world, are using their own local producers
192
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:18.600
and processors and available foods to satisfy the needs that
193
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:28.039
they need. So if it's not done in a laboratory,
194
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:34.600
does that make it not scientific? If it's not reviewed
195
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:40.159
by my direct peers, other people that formulate pet foods,
196
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.759
all of which have their own ideas. Obviously, you've got
197
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.720
several thousand brands of dry food out there. You've got
198
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.320
freeze dried foods out there. You've got air dried foods
199
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.240
out there. You've got canned foods out there, along with
200
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:59.360
a plesthor of raw diets and cooked diets. Each one
201
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.879
of them feel that their way is the best, as
202
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:08.559
do I. But I've gone through all the others. I
203
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:13.519
have worked in a plant making dry food. I know
204
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.799
most of the people that were involved in that business
205
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:20.720
thirty forty years ago. I've dealt with the canned food people.
206
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:26.559
I've looked at the freeze drying process, which, to be honest,
207
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:32.960
is very very detrimental to your animal because it destroys
208
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:38.119
much of the nutrient value of that food. I've dealt
209
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:43.480
with the other raw food processors. I know the quality
210
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.240
of the foods that they use in their foods. I
211
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.680
know where they source them, I know what they pay
212
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.039
for them. I know why they can sell sometimes much
213
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.279
cheaper than I do, why they could be a much
214
00:17:54.319 --> 00:18:00.599
more profitable company because they can cut corners, they can
215
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.559
buy on the spot market whatever's available, rather than sourcing
216
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.920
from single source or reputable sources as we do. So
217
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:15.440
there's a lot of variables here that have come into play.
218
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.160
I can honestly tell you I have had product command
219
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:27.599
raw materials that come out of very specific processing plants slaughterhouses,
220
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.119
if you will. I mean, they don't all have to
221
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.480
be major corporations. For instance, one of our slaughterhouses only
222
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.119
does like ten to fifteen cattle a week. It's not
223
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:43.799
like a one of these big producers that dominate the industry.
224
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:48.440
But changing from one to another, and the processes and
225
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.000
the procedures that they happen to use, the solutions that
226
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:57.680
they might use for cleaning, the chilling methods, the packing methods.
227
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:02.000
I've had animals that have gone from perfectly healthy to
228
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:07.119
major diarrhea and gastric issues just because of the change
229
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:13.480
of a single component. And it wasn't changing the component
230
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.200
to a different one it was just a different vendor.
231
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.400
I've seen that happen in the vitamin and the supplement
232
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:27.480
industry many many times, as various components become short and supply,
233
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.599
they go and they have to buy it on a
234
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.160
spot market from a different vendor. Again, you don't know
235
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.079
how it's grown, you don't know how it's been handled,
236
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:38.119
you don't know how it's been chipped, what temperatures, any
237
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.839
other processes that go into it. So we have to
238
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.920
make sure that we have to be open for changes.
239
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:53.240
We have to keep changing. You know, it's a trial
240
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:57.640
and er process. We find what works, but we don't
241
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:01.839
walk into one thing. Because the body is dynamic. What
242
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.039
the body needed today is not what it needs tomorrow.
243
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.720
We have to do those rotational diets. And when I
