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 Issues223 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks about her son: “This coming Wednesday, Dec. 18th he is having double disc replacement surgery on his back, the result of an accident… a truck hit him when he was on an electric scooter. I’d greatly appreciate it if you and Creator could set up protection for a safe, successful surgery and healing. Also, between his considerable back pain and what appears to be a transference of addiction from drugs to food, he is extremely obese. And I am very concerned about his health and the other impacts this has on him. If there is any healing you can put in place for that, I’d be so grateful.” What can we tell her?ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Karma410 views0 answers0 votesShe asks: “What is the cause of my son’s obesity?

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 votesAre there any harmful things added to pet foods by the interlopers?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Animal Issues510 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Dogs have some of the same problems humans have as they get older, problems such as cognitive issues, heart disease, arthritis, even cancer. I was thinking maybe it’s because of lack of nutrients in the dog food. Is low-quality pet food a significant cause of illness in dogs, cats, and other animals kept as pets by humans?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Animal Issues366 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “My dog is going to be 12 years old and I can tell he’s slowing down a bit, and for some reason, he has become obsessed with human food. He waits until we finish eating dinner and sits and whines for me to clear the table and feed him the leftovers. He also has no interest in the dog food, he eats it as a last resort. He lets it sit for a day and a half until he’s really hungry before he eats it. I’m not feeding him a lot of table food, only when there are leftovers. I realize this is normal behavior for dogs to want good food but, in this case, he seems worse than ever before, and he’s not eating his dog food. Before he would eat his dog food and also beg for table food. Now, it seems like he has a craving ONLY for table food. I have also changed the dog food several times to see if there’s one he likes best but nothing changed, he’s showing the same behavior no matter what brand or flavor. So, I’m thinking that perhaps it’s a deficiency that can’t be fulfilled with the dog food. I’m thinking of switching him to human food or a mix of both human food and dog food. First of all, could I include the Texas Superfood dietary supplement into the food I give the dog? Is this supplement safe for animals like it is for humans?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Animal Issues329 views0 answers0 votes
