***IMPORTANT: The CoQ10 I have in this video is unfortunately flavored, and I completely missed that somehow. I would instead get the CoQ10 by Thorne or Pure.
I give milk thistle for my epileptic dog! Her liver struggles with her medication but feeding milk thistle everyday has literally improved her liver values to within healthy range!
I'm so happy it's helpful!
I’m so happy I caught on before it was too late. My dogs are 8&10 and have been fed kibble their whole lives. They were overweight, have joint issues and were lethargic. I switched them seamlessly to half raw/half cooked and supplements. I do give them a lot more veggies than is recommended but so just feel like they need the natural vitamins right now. In just a month they’ve each lost weight and are energetic again.
Thankfully I’ve never been one to use flea and tick prevention and they are perfectly fine without it. I add a tsp of vinegar to their food every day and that seems to do the trick.
Why kind of milk thistle do you buy ? Dog or human ? brand ?
I also quit poisoning my dog with fleas and ticks medication and heartworm medication
Thank you so much for this amazing info!!!
Thank you for shwoing us exactly what you have and how you use it!
Hi hun, love your vidoes, just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. Also, can u please link any sources that you used, or like send a doc link with sources, especially for the products in households that are linked to cancer. So that i can avoid them in the future, as well as for my pets safety. Again, thank you for all that you do. Ill go back to binging your vidoes now.
Wow, thanks for this great video!
Thanks! Now I have more I can get. We have to use flea prevention in the building we live in or id avoid
Would you be able to link the articles somehow? I love to read about this stuff.
Hi great videos my puppy is on a store bought raw complete 80/10/10 mix , what natural supplements can add to his food . thanks
Thank you Mariah! Excellent tips! Is Matsu ok? Camu camu is also a natural source of vitamin c! Astaxanthin is the king of all carotenoids and a natural antioxidant.
Matsu is great :) And yes, love astaxanthin!
Thank you for this video! We live in Northern part of Croatia where there is soooo many ticks all year around, esp.now (many dogs without chemical anti-tick treatment die from pyroplasmosis/babesiosis) so we have to give them something.. now, from March to May/June they are on Bravecto (which I was very skeptical about for legitimate reasons) and for the rest of the year, dogs are on Frontline combo spot-on ampoule .. Again, I hate that my dogs had to be on that but between getting them sick or dying, I choose life. So thank you for educating me, I will definitely buy milk thistle. As your milk thistle's origin is from Croatia :) you can imagine that we have A LOT of milk thistle products here (didn't even know it's so popular). We have whole seeds (called sjemenke sikavice) that I can grinde, we have it in drops (kapi sikavice), we have it in capsules, granulate... since milk thistle seeds being the cheapest option and because I don't know how to dose drops, I'll start with them. Since my dogs are all year around on anti-tick protection (once a year Bravecto, then Frontline Combo once a month), should I give them therapeutic dose or general wellness one? The dosage you mentioned were mg/lb PER DAY? Once again, thank you so much for everything you teach us! ❤
Thank you for this great video! I transitioned my pups to raw 3~ months ago because of you! :)
For vitamin C, are you able to advise if it's safe to give vit C powder (100% ascorbic acid) instead of the Acerola you recommended? I ask because I have it on hand already that I take myself. If I dip my finger in it, that would be about a 250mg dose for my dogs.
Aww, you're so welcome! I am happy to hear that :) and yes it's ok to give, just give a small amount and slowly increase the dose to whatever your pet needs. Vitamin C can cause diarrhea if given too much or too quickly. And if your pet has a history of calcium oxalates in the urine, I wouldn't give vitamin C in this case
Great video! My 7 year old Boxer has a Lipoma and we are looking at one particular lump which could be a Mast Cell Tumor. Do you know of any supplements for this specifically?
Well, the ones in this video should be helpful! Though I'd go with NOW, Solgar, or Thorne CoQ10 since the one I got unfortunately has a flavor added to it lol, sigh. But mushrooms can also be helpful! Dogs Naturally has a good article on natural treatments for mast cell tumors I believe
We recently removed a mast cell tumor from our boxer mix and have started adding a mushroom supplement. Def gonna try the ones in this video.
It would be nice if there were online links to the products mentioned for easy ordering. Also, dosing instructions.
When (what age) do you recommend starting to supplement things to help prevent cancer and organ failure? especially for cats?
Everyone will say something different! I don't have a specific age recommendation when it comes to supplements like this. I do recommend feeding species appropriate foods and adding moisture to the diet as often as you can, though! I give milk thistle after vaccines and flea and tick prevention (if ever given), and I give acerola cherry and CoQ10 1, maybe 2 weeks out of the month.
Hi there,
Do you have a blog page listing all the supplements you recommend?
Thanks
I've only ever given my dogs flea & tick medicine when they've had fleas, I cannot fathom putting them on it long-term. I always felt weird about it, since it always seemed unnecessary, but I had no clue it caused death to over a thousand pets. I'll definitely have to check these out if we ever have to give them flea meds again!
Thanks for the video! Just wanted to ask if the supplements need to be listed for pets specifically or the ones for humans are also fine to feed. Thanks!
Supplements sold for human consumption is just fine to feed, just be sure they're plain with no added flavors or additional ingredients. The CoQ10 I have does have a few ingredients I didn't notice before getting it (that was my bad), so I would go with NOW, Thorne, or Solgar 100mg CoQ10
@@PawsofPrey thanks so much!!
@@PawsofPrey do you mind also answering how much acerola cherry powder should i give my 8.5 pound cat? Thanks!
@@ellieau7198 ~1/16 lol, pretty small. It could go a bit higher for therapeutic purposes.
@@PawsofPrey got it. Thanks a lot!
0:48 Here are come corrections to that statement due to the fact everything is made of chemicals. “Made with chemicals- they did not adapt to.”
Or “made with artificial chemicals of artificial origins, that happen to be dangerous.”
Do you recommend getting a chest freezer?
i can't find your anti-seizure supplement video can you link it?
Your awesome! Your videos break things down in a way that really helps me to understand, and encourages me to do more research.. I mean just the other day I spent hours researching every essential vitamin and mineral that dogs need in their diet and what’s a natural food source they can get it from and checked off each one to make sure my dogs needs are 110% taken care of.
I’ve got my dogs off of flea and tick but I’m still using heartworm preventative.. what can I use In place of that? I give them rosemary in their food and in their body wash, and diasamous earth in their fur before any hikes, all for flea and tick but I’m not sure what to do to prevent heartworm, because I don’t want them taking it… I do regularly give them pumkin seeds which is a natural dewormer and they are on raw diets, any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for all the work you do! You have changed the lives of a lot of dogs for the better! (:
First, you have to determine if you live in a place where there actually is a risk for heartworm. Many veterinarians, no matter where they are, really push to get the heartworm medication. But why? If you don't live where there's a substantial risk of your dog, getting heartworm, then don't bother with the medication.
Thank you so much! That's great it encourages you to research more on your own :)
And to be honest I still use heartworm prevention every other month during the summer because I live in a heartworm prone area, and I just don't want to risk it. A lot of the natural flea and tick prevention also repels mosquitos, but I just can't bring myself to fully trust it when it comes to heartworms! So that's when I give milk thistle to heal his body after giving it.
Take this with a grain of salt but according to another holistic vet I was watching an interview with on another channel, dogs can kill heart worms with their immune system but, they need to actually have one in order to do so. I'm not sure of the science behind it, she referenced a study but I don't remember what it was.
Hi, I'm a new raw feeder. Do I need to add a tiny amount of salt to the dog food? I saw sodium on the nutrient fact list of kibble. Thank you!
Do dogs need salt? You can’t google it?
Is this good for cats too? Thry always pule everything up. Thanks!
Hello is it safe to mix these supplements together and with other vitamins
Hi Paws of Prey! Could you possibly do a review on Dr. Harveys. A UA-camr Rachel Fusaro recommended on her channel, but I dont feel like it is a completely balanced meal. Thank you :)
I feed Dr. Harvey’s Raw Vibrance and Paradigm. It’s also on Dr. Judy Morgan’s list of approved foods to feed she posts to her Facebook page. It’s possibly not 100% balanced, but here’s the deal. Neither is kibble even though the bag says it is. To try to balance more effectively, rotate many food sources. Not only do I use 2 Dr. Harvey products, I add organ meat, eggs, and smelt to it, and I also purchase a pre-made raw frozen food that has ingredients not found in Dr. Harvey’s. There is a base mix from 4-Leaf Rover that uses dehydrated beef liver, and the base mix EZ Complete uses chicken liver. With Dr. Harvey’s, you do have to add your organ source as well as your muscle meat.
The flea and tick issue is bothersome to me. I'm assuming the FDA still considers it 'relatively safe' because its a small sample size experiencing extreme side effects and the vast majority do perfectly fine on them. . .sort of like how many human medications have horrible side effects in extreme cases but are still in daily use.
My concern is that I have an FIV+ kitty and an infected flea/tick could literally kill him. At the moment he's strictly indoor because he does NOT like going out on a harness, but I want him to at least be able to enjoy the eventual catio. I'm also a little concerned about switching him a raw diet despite the fact I really really want to get our boys on one when we're able. I know safe handling and good sourcing brings the risk to virtually 0 and plenty of FIV+ kitties do fine. . .and he's in ridiculously robust health (he shook off what we think was an upper respirtory infection faster than the our other FIV- did). Just can't help but worry about our dapper little tabby.
I don't have an answer to your main question but something caught my eye in your comment. Firstly, a great amount of respect to you for doing what you can to help your felines. Even though raw food prepared and sourced properly holds little risk. I would advise against doing that unless your vet says otherwise. What is recommended though is a homemade cooked diet. This would eliminate those risks of a raw diet (though little risk is present, it is increased with immuno compromised feline) and allow for a much better diet than commercial. 😊
@@Islamic_nectar Fairly certain my vet won't even consider a raw diet in general. They FORGOT he had FIV last time we took him in and recommended Hills/Royal Canine despite the fact they are on a decent mid-grade wet already.
I also, honestly, just don't have the time to manage two different diets between two different cats. And I'd much rather prepare a months worth of raw over having to cook some variation of ground every few days.
Go ahead and switch to a raw diet. Know your vet won't like it. But that's too bad. For natural flea and tick prevention are use springtime supplement powder. It is called bugger off.
Can all these be giving during the same time.?
How much acerola cherry powder do you add to your dogs meal. 1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp? My dog weighs 18lbs. An adult serve is 1/4 tsp daily, so it must be a tiny serve for dogs.
I have a similar question! How to measure in mg…
I give ~1/8 tsp and he is 25 lbs
My dog is only 8 pounds. How much coQ 10 should I give? Or in general for powder vitamins?
I just wanna know that which part of milk thistle has to given flower,seeds or what?
From the seeds, yes!
How many drops is 5-10 mg?
Cats and dogs make their own Vit C though. and too much can cause oxalate stones. is what I have read.
That's correct! It's not something to supplement daily or in high amounts unless instructed by your vet or used for therapeutic purposes.
@@PawsofPreywell you should have mentioned that in your video.
Why is milk thistle dangerous with diabetes? I tried to find something about it but it has always been praised as beneficial in Diabetes Management. Really curious because I have a diabetic cat and I do feed milk thistle powder from time to time.
Milk thistle drives glucose levels down, which can be a good or a bad thing! It's just something to be aware of
Vinegar can repel ticks.❤
I am so glad I bought Milk Thistle.
Can i feed all of these to ferrets? And if not which ones can i feed and which ones cant i feed?
Dang
I can’t find them, I want to use them for my nala girl
Hi. I wanted to get the cheat sheat, so I gave my email to get it. And its not coming in my inbox. Can anyone help?
Check your spam and promotions folders! Sometimes it gets sent there. If you don't see it, email me through the website and I will send it to you.
@@PawsofPrey ok i just sent the email through the website.
@@PawsofPrey nothing was in promotions or spam

Bht and bha Wow banned on canada? Then how come I see it in lots of foods here for humans like chocolate bars etc?!
You forgot the tumeric
I just give my cats Silycure to detox and clean their liver.
I'm not sure what research you are referencing that thinks dogs and cats are living longer. Studies that I've seen show that dogs and cats are living shorter and shorter lives.
What studies are those? I'm assuming she means in the grand scale of time as its only been the last 100 years or so we've as a species have started taking pet health seriously over just putting down a sick animal that may or may not get well. . .and all know wild/feral animals tend to live shorter lives than those alongside humans.
Can you send any of these studies? I highly doubt animals are living less, with all the progress of modern veterinary medicine and pet nutrition.
@incanusolorin2607 the original comment is very correct. Pets live much less these days. Because they are over breeding them. Very sad. And what is worse most people are ignorant about having a pet. Feeding them junk bag food that cause cancer.
