Dr. Dobias is a holistic vet who has created several products to help maintain dog (and cat) health. A raw diet is by far the best diet to feed an animal as that is they type of food animals are biologically designed to eat. Unfortunately with the advent of commercial dog food dogs are not as healthy as you may think they are. If you look at whole food and kibble side by side you can see that they are completely different. Dogs on commercial diets (canned or kibble) should absolutely be on some sort of supplementation as the food contains little or no natural nutrients.
One product that I am very impressed with is his Mercury HQ test. It tests for mercury in your dogs’ system. Especially with over-vaccination, it is important to know if your dog has mercury in his system so that it could be addressed homeopathically. After finding out my dogs had buildup of mercury, I used a HomeoAnimal Vaccine Detox kit and found that it works.
