As more people become aware of the benefits of raw food diets for humans, more pet owners are switching their dogs to raw diets, as well, for a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs pet owners investigate what builds their own good health, they realize good food applies to the whole family\u2014including the four-legged family,\u201d explains Dr. Cathy Alinovi, DVM, a holistic veterinarian who is also certified in Veterinary Food Therapy and Chinese Herbal Therapy.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, many dog owners switch to a raw diet because their dogs have health problems. This is exactly why dog owner Jessica Winstead put both her Chihuahua mixes on a diet of raw food mixed with canned pumpkin and sweet potato, even though the diet has had different, though positive, effects on the dogs. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy older dog moved in along with my boyfriend about five years ago and he was slightly overweight, but the raw diet leaned him out,\u201d Winstead says. \u201cHe also seems to have more energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her other dog, a four-year old rescue, went on a raw diet to address hair issues. \u201cHe was missing hair on the back of his spine and was slightly underweight, but since he&#8217;s been on the raw diet his hair has evened out and he even gained a little weight,\u201d Winstead says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur older chi-mix weighs about five pounds more, so we feed him a half portion more than our other mix\u2014but he still leaned out and our smaller guy still gained weight!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Switching to a raw diet, however, is not always that simple. Here are five common mistakes owners often make when switching their dogs to a raw diet.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mistake #1: Not Understanding the Basics of Nutrition<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In simple words, a raw diet consists of uncooked meals. In reality, though, it&#8217;s a bit more complicated than that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome pet owners consider throwing a pound of raw hamburger in the bowl as being a raw diet,\u201d says Dr. Judy Morgan, DVM, who is certified in Acupuncture and food therapy and is a member of the Botanical Veterinary Medical Association. This type of feeding, however, doesn&#8217;t provide complete nutrition and can lead to health problems later on.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, a raw diet consists of uncooked meat plus what Alinovi calls additives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe additives range from bone to organ meat to vegetables and supplements,\u201d Alinovi says. In addition, raw diets can also include some cooked grains or veggies. \u201cAnd many people combine freeze dried products (base mixes of veggies, vitamins, and minerals) with raw meats,\u201d explains Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>The one problem with raw diets, according to Alinovi, is that there are no vitamin\/mineral standards established for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2006 NRC (National Research Council) guidelines are based on a dry dog food diet,\u201d Alinovi says. \u201cThe possibility exists that supplementing a raw diet to meet NRC standards for kibble may provide excessive, possibly dangerously so, nutrients that may build up in the dog&#8217;s body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What exactly does that mean for pet owners? It means that owners who are interested in raw diets should talk to a professional rather than just feeding their dogs uncooked meat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe difference is not so much in how a nutritionist and an owner define raw, the difference is more in what is considered balanced,\u201d Alinovi says. For example, some dogs lose too much weight on raw food diets and might need the help of a nutritionist to figure out what to add to the mix (such as cooked grains or additional fat) to solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mistake #2: Thinking a Raw Diet is All About Raw Meat<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While raw diets do contain a large amount of meat, they are often complemented by other ingredients. For example, Morgan says she likes to see muscle meat, organs, bones, eggs, veggies, and sea creatures (cooked mussels or oysters) in a raw diet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt takes variety to cover all vitamins and minerals that are needed and to get the proper balance of omega 3:6,\u201d Morgan explains.<\/p>\n<p>Even commercially manufactured raw diets contain \u201cextras.\u201d The most famous example is BARF (Biologically Active Raw Food), a diet pioneered by Dr. Ian Billinghurst. According to Alinovi, a BARF-based meat patty is 50% raw meat, with an assortment of additions making up the other 50% of the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese additions may include eggs (raw), cheese, kelp, liver, vegetables (minced, raw), cod liver oil, and salt,\u201d Alinovi says. \u201cObviously, the cheese in the BARF diet is processed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other variations of a raw diet may include cooked vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVegetables are more difficult for dogs to digest than for humans,\u201d Alinovi says. \u201cTherefore, vegetables should be minced, juiced, or cooked to aid digestion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mistake #3: Forgetting Fruits<\/p>\n<p>Fruit can be a great addition to a raw diet for a number of reasons. For example, Morgan likes to add berries to raw diets because of their antioxidant content, while Alinovi uses large chunks of apple or watermelon as chew treats. \u201cFruit provides fiber, vitamins, flavor and variety,\u201d Alinovi says.<\/p>\n<p>Fruit can be added to a raw diet whole (after removing the pits), diced, pur\u00e9ed, stewed, or any other preparation method.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike vegetables, it&#8217;s best to keep under 30% fruit as the majority of a dog&#8217;s nutrition comes from meat,\u201d says Alinovi. \u201cDo not feed grapes or raisins as they can cause kidney damage, and avoid fruits canned with sugar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Mistake #4: Ignoring the Potential Need for Supplements<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While not all dogs eating raw food diets will need supplements, some will.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalcium is probably the most important nutrient to be sure there is enough of in a raw diet,\u201d according to Alinovi.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, calcium is quite easy to add to the diet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those who purchase commercially prepared raw diets, the calcium is already balanced,\u201d Alinovi says. \u201cFor those preparing raw food at home, ground egg shell or oyster shell can provide the dietary boost in calcium that is needed beyond what is provided in bone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dogs on raw diets can also benefit from a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil or flax seed oil. \u201cBoth of these oils are known for their anti-inflammatory benefits,\u201d says Alinovi.<\/p>\n<p>Most other supplements are based on owner preference and the dog&#8217;s individual needs, according to Morgan, although she recommends the addition of kelp and seaweeds, as they are rich in trace minerals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepending on the pet and the problems, additional joint supplements, vitamins, or minerals might be necessary,\u201d says Morgan. \u201cIt&#8217;s very individual, at least in my hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The FDA warns about potential risks of feeding and handling raw meats, as they can be contaminated with Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concern is not only that animals will become ill from contaminated food, but, more importantly, humans will become ill from handling the food,\u201d says Alinovi.<\/p>\n<p>However, these dangers might be exaggerated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith good handling practices, raw dog food diets are no more dangerous than handling raw hamburger meat before cooking it on the grill,\u201d says Alinovi. \u201cGood hygiene, frequent hand washing, and using food in a reasonable time period prevent human (and dog) illness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still worried? Purchasing meat from a reputable source and using thawed meat within three days will keep bacterial levels low, according to Alinovi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMinimal bacterial levels do not present health issues for most dogs,\u201d says Alinovi. However, she adds, \u201cfor the owner of a dog with a compromised immune system, raw feeding may be inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind: Some dogs do develop gastrointestinal issues\u2014including diarrhea\u2014when first switched to a raw diet. This is especially true of dogs with a sensitive intestinal tract, although the problem is usually not permanent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn some cases, the owner will need to add one new ingredient at a time to the diet until the dog can handle a full formula raw food meal,\u201d Alinovi says. \u201cIn other cases, adding digestive enzymes or slightly cooking the food for a few days will help sensitive dogs transition to the new food.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This article was verified for accuracy by Katie Grzyb, DVM<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Habitat makes a home accessible<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x3uHpffzQ_4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Imagine if you will having a house that you can neither enter or exit without help.

No matter how much love and care you give your furry companion, things happen. But by knowing how to recognize the most common conditions affecting cats, you may just be able to save your pet&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<p>10. Hyperthyroidism. The most likely cause of hyperthyroidism is a benign tumor on the thyroid gland, which will cause the gland to secrete too much of the hormone. Take your cat to the vet if it starts drinking and peeing a lot, shows aggressive and jittery behavior, suddenly seems hyperactive, vomits and\/or loses weight while eating more than usual.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment depends on other medical conditions but can range from using drugs to regulate the overactive gland, surgical removal of the gland, and even radioactive treatment to destroy the tumor and diseased thyroid tissue.<\/p>\n<p><em>9. Upper Respiratory Virus<\/em>. If your kitty is sneezing, sniffling, coughing, has runny eyes or nose, seems congested and has mouth and nose ulcers, chances are it has an upper respiratory virus. The two main forms of the virus are the feline herpesvirus and calicivirus. Once at the vet&#8217;s office, the cat may receive nose drops, eye ointments and antibacterial medication, especially if it has a secondary infection.<\/p>\n<p><em>8. Ear Infection<\/em>. Ear infections in cats have many causes. These might include mites, bacteria, fungi, diabetes, allergies and reactions to medication; some breeds are also more susceptible to ear infections than others. So it\u2019s definitely a good idea to have your kitty checked if it&#8217;s showing symptoms such as ear discharge, head shaking, swollen ear flaps, stinky ears and ultra sensitivity to ears being touched. Treatment, of course, depends on the cause, but will include eardrops, ear cleaning, ear and oral medications and in severe cases, surgery.<\/p>\n<p><em>7. Colitis\/Constipation<\/em>. Colitis is a fancy word for inflammation of the large intestine. While the most obvious sign of colitis is diarrhea, sometimes it will hurt the cat to poop. Thus, in trying to hold it in, the cat may develop constipation.<\/p>\n<p>There are many causes of colitis, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, allergies and parasites, among other diseases. Signs include straining to poop, lack of appetite, dehydration and vomiting. Your vet will test for the underlying cause and treat it accordingly. This may include a more fiber-rich diet, de-worming, antibiotics, laxatives and\/or fluids.<\/p>\n<p><em>6. Diabetes<\/em>. Like humans, cats suffer from diabetes, too, though this is usually seen in older, overweight cats. Symptoms include increased thirst and peeing, peeing outside the litter box, lethargy and depression.<\/p>\n<p>While causes of feline diabetes are not really known, there is a link with diabetes and being overweight. Treatment, therefore, includes daily health monitoring, diet changes, exercise, and depending on the cat\u2019s needs, either daily oral medications or injections.<\/p>\n<p><em>5. Skin Allergies. <\/em>Kitties, like you, are known to suffer from allergies, although their allergies show on the skin. If your cat scratches, or chews on its skin a lot, has a rash or loses hair in patches, a trip to the vet is a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Causes of skin allergies vary from reactions to food, fleas, pollens, mites, and even mold and mildew. Treatments may include allergy shots, diet changes, medication and antihistamines.<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\n4. Intestinal Inflammation\/Diarrhea<\/em>. Diarrhea is a sure sign of an intestinal inflammation. It affects either the cat\u2019s small or large intestine and may due to a variety of factors, including diet changes, eating contraband foodstuffs, allergies, bacteria overgrowth, worms and even kidney disease.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms include diarrhea, lack of appetite and vomiting. A visit to your vet will sort out the cause, and treatment may include hydration therapy, a bland diet, dietary changes and anti-diarrhea medications.<\/p>\n<p><em>3. Renal Failure<\/em>. This is a serious condition, which is common in older cats. While the underlying causes are not yet understood, recent research suggests a link with distemper vaccinations and long-term dry food diets. Make sure you request blood tests on your regular wellness checkups, since symptoms often don\u2019t show up until 75 percent of the kidney tissue is damaged.<\/p>\n<p>The main symptom is excessive thirst and peeing, but the cat may also show signs of drooling, jaw-clicking, and ammonia-scented breath. While it\u2019s not curable, renal failure (when not severe) can be managed through diet, drugs and hydration therapy. Kidney transplants and dialysis can also be used.<\/p>\n<p><em>2. Stomach Upsets (Gastritis)<\/em>. An inflammation of the cat&#8217;s stomach lining is simply referred to as gastritis. This condition may be mild or severe, but regardless of its type, make sure you bring your cat to visit the vet if it doesn&#8217;t show improvement in a day or two, or if the symptoms are severe.<\/p>\n<p>Gastritis has many causes, from eating spoiled food to eating too fast to allergies or bacterial infections. If your cat is vomiting, belching, has a lack of appetite or bloodstained poop or diarrhea, a visit to the vet will help straighten things out. Treatments depend on the cause, but generally include medication, fluid therapy and even antibiotics.<\/p>\n<p><em>1. Lower Urinary Tract Disease<\/em>. Coming in at No. 1, lower urinary tract disease can turn very quickly into a life-threatening illness for your cat, especially if there\u2019s a blockage caused by crystals, stones or plugs. When total blockage occurs, death can occur within 72 hours if left untreated.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, whisk your cat off to the vet or emergency center ASAP if you see any of the following signs: peeing outside of the litter box, straining, blood in urine, crying out while attempting to pee, not being able to pee, excessive licking of genitals, not eating or drinking, yowling while moving and lethargy. These signs will generally occur regardless if the urinary tract disease is due to stones, infection or urethral plugs. Treatment includes catheterizing to drain the bladder, medication to dissolve stones or blockages, and in recurring cases, surgery.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>SJHS Senior Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Department Awards <\/em><br \/>\nArt<br \/>\n&#8211; Artistic Achievement Award: B.
