There are too many dog foods loaded with lab created equivalents to the natural enzymes and minerals in a natural diet. Look at all you do to your dog every year with vaccinations. The proportions are the same of that given to a dog of 150 pounds. Unlike heartworm meds that are dispensed by weight. Do we vaccinate ourselves annually.
There has to be long term effects. Just like the toxins in smoking damage your lungs. And alcoholism tends to destroy your liver.
There will always be those who have lost pets to the disease and those who never medicated and never lost a pet.
I appreciate that most of you err on the side of caution. I know loads of people who don't and have never had issues all the years they have had dogs.
So they will swear by not giving it as much as many will swear by administering it. |
Owners may think their dogs are not affected, but without continuously negative test results they can't possibly know for sure. And I'd rather not skip prevention and end up with a dog who has to be treated. Unfair to the dog.
Vaccination dosage is the same for all dogs because the immune system is not measured in pounds. It takes a certain amount to mount an immune response.
I have noticed the lingo related to enzymes has become popular online. What are these natural enzymes that are killed off supposed to be doing?
