natural and holistic stuff

Give Your Dog a Bone (A conversation with The Canine Coach on keeping your dog’s teeth clean.)

We recently had the privilege of sitting down to talk about dental hygiene for dogs with one of Minneapolis’ top certified dog trainers and dog behavior specialists, Maureen Haggerty, otherwise known as “The Canine Coach”. Q. What do you recommend people do when it comes to doggie dental hygiene?

holistic: setting the record straight

From cough drops to pet food, it seems like everyone is claiming their products are holistic these days. The word ‘holistic’ has turned into the ultimate buzz-word and marketing tag for all things healthy. But what does it really mean?

who says a product is 'natural'?

Not long ago, a popular soft drink was re-introduced with the label “all-natural”. We found this odd in that there is nothing natural about soda pop. The second ingredient of this beverage is high-fructose corn syrup. Have you ever seen a high-fructose corn syrup farm or orchard? Of course there is no such thing, contrary to what this label may lead you to believe. The commercials for this product say otherwise: images of soda cans picked from trees like fruit tell consumers that this soda is different; this soda is what nature intended for you to drink.
