Is it quality protein and essential fatty acids he’s been missing?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Animal Issues221 views0 answers0 votesIs the kibble we are feeding our dog plus a one-quarter can of Nature’s Domain Pea Stew a healthy and adequate diet for him? The vets tell us that canned dog food is pretty useless, nutritionally, and that the kibble is a science-based balanced diet. Is that the case? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Animal Issues220 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Is it risky for dogs to have salted food?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Animal Issues388 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Is raw food, like provided by Canino Raw with fruit and vegetables added along with minerals, better for dogs than the highly rated kibble varieties? It is not that palatable to my dog and I top dress it with roast chicken and things like that.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Animal Issues309 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Why did our prayers for divine protection for myself and my puppy not keep her from being struck by a car and killed? Her leash got away from me, allowing this to happen. Was it purely my own inattention and lack of rigorous leash control of a puppy not fully in control of her impulses and discipline yet, and the traffic dangers around here, or was it perhaps destiny and beyond my control?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma410 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “I know that very often very faithful people do not have their prayers answered and may die under any number of circumstances. Was it presumptuous to assume that our guides, guardians, and Creator would be able to use divine grace borrowed from all our prayers to stop this? That is, to stop me from dropping the leash, my puppy from running into the road, slow time down and allow me to dive to block her or grab her, or have the vehicle miraculously miss her or something similar, such as by turning back time and having us do something else?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma404 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “I tend to think that since this happened on my watch I must take responsibility. I had a similar experience with my childhood dog when I was about 10 years old. I loved them both so much and was so looking forward to seeing them grow and live long and healthy lives. Was there any connection?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma364 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “After the collision did happen, was it unbelief that prevented a miracle of total restoration when it looked like she was okay after the huge impact and found on the other side of the road standing up and looking normal? We’ve seen many miracles and this would have been a great one. There was no blood initially and seemingly no broken bones, torn cartilage or ligaments, maybe even no concussion. Was all that by divine grace so that she did not feel pain?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Karma359 views0 answers0 votesAre there any harmful things added to pet foods by the interlopers?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Animal Issues507 views0 answers0 votes
