I believe that conventional medicine and methods are being used to the detriment of our dogs hidden under the title of 'routine prevention.'
Did you know that non-toxic and natural care options are available for your dog?
There is a lack of education and awareness about the options we have available for our dogs. Unfortunately many times dogs and animals in general are left out of our non-toxic lifestyles simply because dog owners do not know that these options exist for their dogs.
With less than ideal dog food regulations leaving food not only toxic but potentially carcinogenic to our dogs, the pushing of unneccesary yearly vaccinations, and the overuse of nervous system targeting monthly 'preventatives,' I think it's crucial and urgent that dog owners are informed of the non-toxic options available for their dogs!
I have spent years researching the best, healthiest, and safest options for my dogs and am excited to share this information with other dog owners!
Covering the major areas of non-toxic dog care, Cultivating Wild Dogs is full of the information that you need to make the safest, healthiest, and least toxic decisions for your dog!
Through explaining the reality and toxicity of the dog food industry, yearly vaccinations, monthly preventatives, and so much more -- Cultivating Wild Dogs gives dog owners the information, non-toxic alternatives, and encouragement they need to be the best advocate for their dogs that they can be!
IT'S TIME TO START CULTIVATING WILD DOGS!
INTRODUCTION
In this module I welcome you to the course and share my personal story of how I discovered and started implementing non-toxic dog care. I also share a gentle reminder for you to keep in mind while going through this course. This gentle reminder is my heart for how I hope you navigate this course and the information that it contains!
FOOD
In this module you will learn about the different dog food types and their benefits or negative effects on dogs, how to properly balance and feed a raw or homemade diet, the concerns with the quality of ingredients found in dog food, how to make kibble more nutritious, what I would look for when selecting a kibble (or any dog food), health building foods treats and supplements your dog can enjoy no matter what style of food you feed, and brand recommendations for different food types!
WATER
Often focused on dog food, we forget about the benefits or detriments that what our dogs are drinking can have on their bodies. In this module you'll learn the importance of high quality water and the benefits of giving your dog other sources of hydration!
CHINESE MEDICINE
Changing this one thing about how I feed my dogs has had one of the most significant impacts on their health! This module will teach you what Chinese Medicine is, the basics of Chinese Medicine and dog food, how it relates to feeding your dog, how it can help with allergies or other sensitivities, how to implement Chinese Medicine into your dog's care, and my dog's personal success story using the methods you will learn in this module.
VACCINES
Are yearly vaccines necessary or required by law? In this module you will learn the reality of dog vaccines and dog vaccine laws, vaccine effectiveness durations and how long one dose actually protects your dog, vaccine side effects and dosages, vaccine detox information, a safer vaccine schedule, and less toxic vaccine options! You'll also learn about natural immunity and the benefits of titer testing and how it can protect your dog from uneeded vaccines and positively impact their health for years to come!
FLEA, TICK, & HEARTWORM
Though they are often prescribed monthly, common flea tick and heartworm preventatives can actually be toxic to our dogs - targeting their nervous systems and impacting their health and well being. In this module you will learn the reality and toxicity of monthly preventatives, how they work, their side effects, when preventatives are actually needed, how to use OTC preventatives in a less toxic way, the reality of tick populations and tick-borne illnesses, and non-toxic options. You'll also learn about the heartworm lifecycle, heartworm testing, and natural heartworm prevention.
HOLISTIC VETS
This module will teach you all about holistic vets - what they are, how they differ from conventional vets and integrative vets, how to find a holistic vet, and how to know if they are the right fit for you! You'll also learn about the importance of finding a full service vet and situations that would make one necessary. I also share my own holistic vet's contact information for those who cannot find a holistic vet in their area!
WHEN CONVENTIONAL
METHODS ARE NEEDED
In the conclusion to the course I discuss the space between natural and conventional methods and when conventional methods may be needed, while offering encouragement to those who are navigating using conventional or natural methods for a dog who is not thriving. I share my own personal story of being faced with natural vs conventional options for my dog and how the decision I made changed the life and health of my dog in a way I would have never imagined!
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
This module is loaded with additional resources to help you learn more and start easily implementing non-toxic care for your dog. Included are printable reference sheets for raw feeding and raw feeding guidelines, Chinese Medicine, and the safer vaccine schedule and options for easy, quick, and on the go reminders! Along with book recommendations, website recommendations, helpful Facebook groups (including how to access and join the private Cultivating Wild Dogs Facebook group), and supplement brand recommendations and links!
THE HEART BEHIND CULTIVATING WILD DOGS
HI, I'M MAKINZE!
During the hardest season of my life, God sent me my dog, Blue-Jean and she completely changed my life.
Out of my desire to love and steward her the best that I could (and now my dog Grizzly as well), I discovered and started pursuing non-toxic dog care!
I've researched the safest and healthiest options for my own dogs for years and am so excited to share the information that I have discovered with other dog owners through this information rich, simplified, and easy to understand course!
COURSE STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
"The knowledge I gained completing this course is invaluable. I was able to implement several non-toxic protocols with my fur baby immediately following the completion of the course. I can't begin to explain what a difference those things have made in my fur baby's life."
- ANNETTE
"The explanation of different foods was SOOOO helpful for our dog and allowed us to transition to something that supports his body much better based on his symptoms. And what really blew me away the most about that section was that it was completely opposite of what I was originally told by our vet and what I've generally heard recommended for dogs."
- LINDSEY
"The Cultivating Wild Dogs course is a game changer for the industry. It's literally an all in one place to get knowledge on holistic care for your dog!"
