WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF HAVING A DOG NOW HERE IS SOME PROOF

6/2/2014

Best Friends Bring Benefits

This article by Jon Bastian is from Cesar Millan’s website.  I found this information to be great proof of what we have known about the health benefits of having your family dog.

Here are five benefits of having a dog that you may not have been aware of.

  1. Exercise Yourself
    For years, Cesar has listed exercise as the most important thing that we can give to our dogs, but it’s also the best way that dogs give back to us. Dog owners who go on regular walks are more physically active than people who have other pets or no pets at all.

    According to the Mayo Clinic, regular exercise can help people control their weight, combat health conditions like high blood pressure, improve mood, boost energy, promote better sleep, enhance your sex life, and have more fun.

    That list sounds like the claims made by a late night infomercial promoting a miracle cure, but if you walk your dogs at least a half hour every day, this is exactly what you will get back for yourself.
  2. Protect Your Children
    Not only are dogs natural protectors of their home and pack, research now indicates that dogs can protect your children’s immune systems and help prevent allergies and conditions like eczema.

    One study by the University of Cincinnati showed that children who grew up with dogs and whose parents had some history of eczema developed the condition at a rate of as low as 9%, while households without dogs showed rates as high as 57%. On the other hand, having a cat in the house actually increased the chance of children developing eczema to as high as 54%.

    Surprisingly, children who tested allergic to dogs as babies actually benefited the most from having dogs in the house when they were infants. Nearly two thirds of them who grew up without a dog developed eczema and other allergic reactions later in life. Only 14% who grew up with dogs did.
  3. Don’t Worry, Be Happy
    A recent study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology looked at pet ownership and overall happiness, and it showed that pet owners were generally better off than non-pet owners, with lower levels of fearfulness and obsession. Owners who relied on their dogs for social fulfillment felt less depressed and lonely, had higher levels of self-esteem and happiness, and were less likely to feel stressed.

    In another study, Krista Marie Clark Cline of the University of Missouri-Columbia College of Veterinary Medicine determined that owning a dog reduced depression at least among women and single adults, and was not correlated with incidence of depression in other groups of dog owners.

    Finally, as reported in The Independent UK, Deborah L. Wells of Queens University compared various studies on dog ownership and human health and concluded that dogs do have a preventative and positive therapeutic impact on physical and mental health.
  4. Stay Heart Healthy
    Dogs are good for the heart in more ways than one. By making us happier, they help our hearts metaphorically. By encouraging us to exercise, they help our hearts literally. But studies have also shown that dogs can help people survive heart attacks at a higher rate than people without dogs.

    A study sponsored by the National Institute of Health showed that the one year heart attack survival rate was much higher for dog owners — 97% of patients, as opposed to only 72% of patients without dogs.

    According to the American Heart Association, owning a dog may also decrease the risk of a heart attack by lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and obesity through exercise, as well as by reducing stress in general.
  5. Socialize Yourself
    Dogs can also help you find your perfect mate in several ways. The most obvious, of course, is that you’ll naturally get out more if you have a dog, going on daily walks or hikes, or by visiting the dog park. Second, though, is due to human nature: people are more likely to start a conversation with a stranger if that person has a dog — “What a beautiful dog. What breed is it?” can be a great ice-breaker, after all.

    Besides more opportunities to meet people, dogs are great judges of character. By reading people’s energy, they will let you know pretty quickly whether that new person you just met is potential dating material or someone to avoid. And watching how another person reacts to your dog is another great sign as well.
The above are just a few of the overall benefits of owning a dog as they relate to health and happiness, but there are many other reasons. Dogs provide home security, of course, and they also provide a source of entertainment and comfort. Dogs can also teach responsibility to children and adults, and can be trained to assist people with mental or physical handicaps.

Maybe it’s time to rewrite that old adage — a dog in your day keeps the doctor away!

DOG FLEA SPRAY POST

6/1/2014

0 Comments

 
Dog flea Spray

This is made with plant extract oils with fractionted coconut oil and warm water as a carrier.

You can use melaleuca, lavender, eucalyptus, or citronella oil—10 drops/each of all or any of the oils.

Mix the oils with 1 cup of warm water and 1 Tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil or castor oil.  This makes about 1 cup so you can double the amounts for more.  Mix and store in a spray bottle.

Shake the mixture and spray on the animal.  I used a combination of melaleuca, lavender and eucalyptus oils and rosemary oil for some dogs don’t like the smell of citronella oil.

I have used this for other small bugs also.

The supplement CoQ10 is also good for building the dog’s immune system to prevent the fleas from wanting to attack the animal.  Usually the animal is affected by the flea bites when their immune system is weakened.  The bite can cause the animal to lick or bite the area to cause a "hot spot".  There is a product sold online or in pet stores called Vetrycin that can help calm the hot spot.  Aloe Vera gel from the plant can also help hot spots.  The Aloe Vera plant should be freshly cut to get the gel at each application.  I have more information on my site for hot spots.

DISCLAIMER: I, Mary DeRoche, am not a veterinarian and do not practice medicine.  I do not diagnose, cure, heal, treat disease or otherwise prescribe medication.  I assist people in working with their animals in correcting energetic imbalances in their pet’s bio-field that assists the body to release its innate healing ability.  When the energy of the body is balanced and moving correctly, the body’s innate natural energy heals itself.  All healing is self-healing.  Animals are affected by their environment so I also include the pet owners in my work.  Animals do pick up energy from their owners.   I only recommend the use of therapeutic grade essential oils for your pets because therapeutic grade  essential oils have been tested to guarantee that they are free of synthetics, additives, toxins and any other impurities, which can result in side effects and/or inconsistent results. Essential oils and supplements are recommendations to help boost the pet’s immune system.
I recommend that clients continue to see their pet’s regular veterinarian and follow their advice and my work is a complement to regular allopathic medicine.  My spiritual energy work is not a substitute for conventional medical diagnosis or treatment for any medical or psychological condition.  For such issues, you should seek the proper licensed veterinarian.  I am a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner and a Subtle Energy Practitioner and my work is spiritually and energetically based and I believe all healing is spiritual in nature. I do not make any promises, warranties or guarantees about results of my work, or of the energy sessions.  The energy sessions help many animals but like any energy work  it might not work for everyone.  The use of essential oils, herbs and supplements is to assist the pet with balancing chakra centers for proper energy flow or chi.
