This is actually
just a small sample of therapeutic diets that offer patients realistic options for taking control of their health
by eating real foods in a structured, mindful manner; there are more than a few other seemingly effective therapeutic diets that I am aware of that also focus on improving
food quality above all.
Weight loss, relief from acid reflux, digestive and bowel issues, reversal of eczema and other skin rashes, relief from depression and anxiety are
just a few of the surprising and unexpected health transformations that occur simply
by eating real food.
Real dogs not only must be housetrained - most owners are aware of that need; they also must be taught not to chew the furniture, taught not to jump on their owners, taught not to play - bite, taught not to bowl over the toddler, taught not to dig holes in the yard, taught to come when they are called, taught not to
eat the homework or the woodwork, taught not to swipe
food off the table, taught not to growl at strangers or bark at the mail carrier, taught to walk on a leash without dragging their owner down the block, taught to allow their toenails to be cut and their coats to be groomed without biting the groomer, taught not to shred feather pillows and down comforters, taught not to steal the baby's toys, taught not to growl at their owner's mother - in - law, taught to sit, stay, and to lay down when and where the owner tells them to, and to wait there until the owner says they may get up (absolutely essential commands for the dog's own safety), taught not to escape out the front door or out of the yard or out of the car when the owner looks away for
just a second... all of these things and many more are not «natural» canine behaviors; they must be taught
by owners who are willing to spend the time and the effort doing so.
