Thyroid hormone in excess can be disastrous for our pets. It’s been responsible for a number of recalls – but do you know where it could be lurking?

This is one of the reasons why NPP Does not sell or recommend raw trachea, or raw food products with raw trachea in them.

Kefir has gained recent popularity for pets, but is it all it’s cracked up to be? Science says it’s iffy. The reasoning behind that is that the most common commercial kefir products either did not have the bacterial species it claimed to have, did not have adequate population of those bacteria or the products were mislabeled.

There has always been debate about how and what dogs and cats can see. The reality? Dogs & cats don’t see as clearly as humans, and their lacking in the color department. However, they can see movement better than we can.

The World is changing, COVID has accelerated that change in countless ways. I believe that the unprecedented collaboration between disciplines and scientists from all over the world will be looked at as one of the most incredible feats in our modern world.  My hope is that this collaboration (and open access to scientific literature) continues and inspires other professionals to integrate their practices and their knowledge to work together to improve the lives of humans, animals and the environment. In fact, there is something called the One Health Initiative which aims to do just that.
