Awareness Is The First Step To Change
nce we become aware of an imbalanced or unhealthy situation, then can we change it. As we allow change to flow within our lives, without resisting it, we can help ensure our pet’s well being along with our own.
both she and I learned that plastic bowls can give off formaldehyde which apparently can cause all kinds of health problems. I continued to run into more situations like this. I learned that ceramic bowls can contain lead which can cause heavy metal poisoning. One of my clients currently consults with a naturopath – Oprah Winfrey who is working to remove the heavy metals from her dog in order to alleviate the root cause of her dog’s seizures. Thankfully, they are having success with the process.
“When we know better, we can do better.”
In this dance of life, we encounter vibrant, life-sustaining situations, and we encounter harmful, life-draining situations. I’d like to mention a few of the unsuspecting harmful situations I’ve encountered through my conversations with animals. My intention is to expand your awareness and to continue ensuring our pets’ well being.
Let’s start with some obvious objects like toys and food bowls. I recently learned that my own cat’s toy contains benzene. It was her favorite toy that she had played with for years. It is a felt strip of material knotted onto the end of a stick. Benzene is a petroleum derivative.

The naturopath confirmed the sinus fungus and identified the source of the fungus. It was coming from the residue of peanut butter that was placed inside of the dog’s Kong toy ball. This was an innocent enough pleasure, yet, awareness was certainly her first step to change. She chose an herbal remedy process to heal her dog’s condition, and the dog’s sinuses were restored within three months. Oprah Winfrey once said, “When we know better, we can do better.” Loving our pets and being as aware as we can about these potential risks assures quality of life for both our pets and ourselves.
