FACT: Pets Are Not Living as Long as They Could

Studies have been done when they mapped out the genomes. They found that
pets have the capacity to live 25 to 40 years. We have the ability to live for 150
years. Why dont we? Its because we are not living an optimally healthy
lifestyle. Everything from the foods we eat and the toxic environment we live in.
Who lives in the lower 18 inches of our homes? Our pets and our small children.

7% of Dogs and 10% of Cats are Considered Healthy

Dental calculus and gingivitis were the most commonly
reported disorders.
The Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine did a study
of over 45,000 dogs coming into a vets office. They found
that only 7% of dogs were actually healthy. This goes for
Cats as well.

Why Is This?
Why are so few pets considered healthy?
Pets are closer to the toxins in our environment. Like a child, by body weight,
they are exposed to higher levels of pollutants. They live in the 18 inches closest
to the ground.
Indoor Pollution: is three times as toxic to a 50 pound dog as to a human adult.
(pg 87 Earl)
STORY: woman whose dog developed a respiratory problem, the dog would join
her every morning in the bathroom as she got ready. They discovered the
problem was caused by the dog breathing her hair spray.
Pesticides, antifreeze, oil, insecticides, cleaning products, air fresheners, etc.
Propylene glycol: antifreeze, sweet and addictive

Super Size Me: For Pets

Shock Slide: In a way, this is what you have been doing to your pet, if you have
been feeding them commercial pet foods.
Expecting your pet to achieve optimal health by just eating commercial pet
foods is much like YOU expecting to be thin, trim and healthy by eating only at
fast food restaurants!
It loaded with salt, sugars, fillers and by-products.

Pet Vitals
The following outlines the necessary information you need to know about a pet
s health and how to gather the vital information. It is important to understand
the pet's normal physical condition so you can quickly recognize what is not
normal for the pet. These include

Heart Rate
Breathing Rate
Mucous Membrane Color, Meaning and Capillary Refill
Temperture

Heart Rate
Check pulse at the femoral artery, with your ring finger and middle finger
Large Dog: 60-100 beats/minute
Medium Dog: 80-120 beats/minute
Small Dog: 90-140 beats/ minute
Cat: 110-240 beats/minute

Breathing Rate
Dog: 10-30 breaths/minute
Cat: 20-30 breaths/minute

Gum and Mucous Membrane

Pink=Normal
White=Anemic
Yellow=Jaundice
Grey=Hypoxic, Shock, Low 02

Capillary Refill time

Press thumb against the gum area
Color should return in 1-2 seconds
Prolonged CRT can be a sign of shock

Thermometer
Average degrees for pets
100.4-102.5 Fahrenheit
37.9-39.1 Celsius

S 2 T: Assessment
1. S2T: imperative to do on a regular basis
2. Assessing Your Pets Vitals
3. Signs of Ill Health: know what is normal for your pet, so you will know when
your pet is not presenting normal to you.
This is in my book I did for Dear Abby 4 years ago.
Preventable accidents are the leading cause of death and disability for presenior pets.

S 2 T: Snout to Mouth
Snout: Not to wet that it is dripping, and not to
dry that it is cracked
Mouth: Gums should be pink, with white teeth

S 2 T: Eyes to Ears
Eyes: Clear with no discharge
Ears: Should not be sensitive or painful to
touch, no discharge

S 2 T: Skull
Skull: Use all of your senses to check. Check for
bumps, abrasions, masses, sores or tender
spots

S 2 T: Neck and Spine

Neck: Front, side and back for any bumps,
abrasions, sores, masses or tender spots
Spine: Slide hand down the spine to the tail
base, checking for the same things

S 2 T: Chest and Ribs

Ribs: Easily feel the chest and ribs, breathing
should be smooth, rhythmic and easy

S 2 T: Front legs and Paws

Paws: Nails should not be cracked, split or
painful to touch, check between toes and paws
for any foreign bodies such as thorns. Some
pets naturally have sensitive paws
Legs: Anything out of the ordinary, cuts or
sensitive spots

S 2 T: Hind legs and Paws

Same as front legs

S 2 T: Abdomen and Lower Body

Abdomen: Using your hands to gently palpate
abdomen, should not be rigid, sensitive or
painful

S 2 T: Tail and Coat

Tail: The tail should be examined for deformity
or pain and range of use and movement.
Coat: The skin and coat should be appraised
throughout your assessment for texture, color,
temperature, excessive shedding and quality of
haircoat.

10 Ingredients Your Pet Does Not Need

10: By-Product
Avoid By-Product this can be any part of the
animal except: meat, hair, horn, teeth & hoofs.
That means it COULD BE feathers, feet and
heads!

9: Beet Pulp or Peanut Shells

BEET PULP: common ingredient that sugar beet processors would throw away
if pet food manufacturers did not buy it. Can cause dehydration, mask some
symptoms of illness and has no nutritional value. Big Dump Principle
Most commercial pet foods contain poor protein sources, chemical
preservatives, food coloring and by-products.
Hulls are the floor sweepings from human factories and seed covers.

8: Menadione/ Vitamin K3
Synthetic and cheaper vitamin
Can cause liver and kidney damage
May appear as dimethylprimidinol sulfate

7: Ethoxyquin
Artificial preservative
Banned from human consumption
Considered a pesticide

6-5: BHA and BHT

Butylated Hydroxyanisole
Butylated Hydroxytoluene
Artificial preservative
Linked to causing Cancer for Humans
Listed as a chemical hazard by OSHA

4: Soy
Difficult for pets to digest
Inferior protein

3: Hulls (mill run)

Waste parts of grain, not very nutritional at all

2: Animal Fat
Does not identify what animal, what body part
or anything else added to it

1: Appetite Stimulant
Chemically sprayed to make your pet crave
more food
Might make the pet immune to the sense of its
nose, meaning chocolate would smell normal

H20 For Your Pet

Dehydration leads to kidney failure #1 for cats, #2 for dogs.
Pets need a diet that is 70% water. Again dehydration leads to kidney failure #1
for cats, #2 for dogs. I had why water tested and the contaminant level was
high. I have well water. I just installed a $1500 water purification station in my
kitchen. You cant put a price tag on your health.

How Much Daily?

So Ricky who weighs 80 lbs, should drink 40 oz
of water a day. This formula holds true for us
also.

Assessing Dehydration
Skin over should should go back into position
after being lifted.

Weight
The weight of your pet determines a lot, make
sure they are always in a very healthy zone

PPA: Primary Pet Assessment

First Aid
CPR
Rescue Breathing
2-minute rule

Note
A 10 lb Cat is as dangerous as a 50 lb Dog

Note
Remain calm, use least amount of force, speak
calmly

PPA: Safety first

Examine area around you for any dangers.

PPA: Stop and Take a breathe

Get full control of your head and hands before
assisting a pet. After this walk up to the pet,
stand a meter away

PPA: Unresponsive
Simply tap your foot and repeat the magic
phrase, Doggie Doggie/Kitty Kitty are you ok?

PPA: Assistance
No response from that? Get help

PPA: ABC Breathing

Kneel behind pet
Place hand squarely on chest and asses for
breathing
Still no response, then move on to opening the
airway of the pet, extending jaw forward. Hold
the pet incase of danger

PPA: Rise and Fall

Check for movement or noise, check for air
exchange, rise and fall of the chest, and any
other indications that the pet is ok.

PPA: Compressions
If you see no signs or indication that the pet is
doing anything, get help and begin cpr
You are looking for 30 compressions in 12
seconds
A total of 100 in 2 minutes

PPA: Compressions
The elbows always point to the heart
Place your left hand in an L-shaped manner
with your thumb in one of the armpits, place
other hand under chest and begin
Do not push into pet, but compressions must be
fast

PPA: Breaths
Tongue past the pets canines
Compress lips and mouth to create an airtight
seal
Breathe into pets nose are about 1 second
Note: Careful if the pet becomes conscious

PPA: Cycle
30 compressions/ 2 breaths
Repeat for 2 minutes

PPA: Pulse
Check pulse at femoral artery

PPA: Chest Types

There are many types of chests
Taper Chests
Barrel Chests
And the Taco technique

PPA: Rescue Breathing

10 Breaths per minute
1 second each

PPA: Bleeding Protocols

Elevate do not aggravate, river of blood
Can a water flow upstream?
Direct pressure and constrict blood flow

PPA: Bleeding Protocol

Bandage and immobilize patient
For fractured limbs do not try and be
Hollywood, meaning dont try and pop it back
into place, bandage it how it is. Try not to
irritate the wound

PPA: Amputation
Keep part of body cool and away from the sun
Keep it moist and sterile with saline solution
Transport immediately

PPA: Squirting Blood

Bandage and be extremely agressive
Transport ASAP
