RE: NEW pet Food News..IMPORTANT ~ FERMENTED SALAD

[Guest guest]

Actually there was NO need for the diarrhea.

 

When I switch dogs over I used a fermented salad (this give a LOT of

probiotics and digestive enzymes that help in the transition)

 

Here is a sample, though one does not need that much variety but it gives a

sample of what can be used. Lots of dogs even if not on raw would benefit

IMO on this.

 

The fermented pulped salad is made (mostly with leafy greens) adding

probiotics (human grade and non dairy) to establish the good bacteria in the

intestines. The human grade digestive enzymes are also added (need one with

cellulase and amylase at least) are added to the pulped salad and keep the

mix at BODY temperature (needs to be that temperature to trigger the

digestive enzymes and get the probiotics multiplying at their optimum

temperature) for at least 15 minutes before feeding, wait at least 2 hours

after this salad mix before feeding meaty bones for the best results.

 

This salad helps diarrhea problems as well as constipation, boost the immune

system and gives extra b vitamins to boot )))) It helps to repair the

intestines by establishing good bacteria that prefers raw food and leafy

greens.

 

You first pulp the veggies (chop up some romaine lettuce so it is easier to

process, some freeze it first to smash into very tiny pieced in the bag

after it is frozen) some add a little water for processing) it should look

like baby food when done. For sick animals make it mostly leafy greens and

low starchy veggies. You can freeze this mush and then continue the rest of

the procedure when you need some more fermented veggies.

 

Do not use cabbage family daily, tends to bug up the thyroid, three times a

week is OK if you are giving it that often.

 

With the thawed mixture or the freshly made one you add some probiotics

human grade (non dairy type) always sold in the fridge of pharmacy or health

food store. Add one capsule or digestive enzymes (like UDO's digestive

blend human type, though if you read the labels you will find similar types

for less money) you do not want the coated type and they should have the

basics of Cellulase and Amylase. (for dogs and cats about 10 pounds or less

use 1/4 capsule of each) You do not however need more than one capsule as

the enzymes are a catalyst and are not used up but do their job and move on,

allowing the good bacteria to digest the veggies. So the food can be kept

at body temperature longer than the 15 minutes at BODY temperature but not

less.

Many dogs prefer the fermentation to be longer than 15 minutes as the smell

is more delicious to them.

 

Feed two hours before regular meal for the maximum benefit.

 

Best with a sick dog to add a little of the salad to his food as well and so

for these dogs their digestive enzymes should also have Lipase and Protease

in the digestive enzymes mix. Since I share my digestive enzymes with my

dog I make sure that is also has Lactase as I have problems with milk

digestion.

 

I do not like the dog types because they often add stuff and some use the

poorest quality and the probiotics often are not alive. Some are a joke and

if you read the label are often are just prebiotics and sold on a shelf so

no live ones left (The ones I have seen are a waste of money IMO or not as

beneficial as getting the human grade varieties)

 

What I use this salad mixture for is to help with diarrhea, constipation,

re-establish a good balance of bacteria in the intestines, gives a small

boost of some B vitamins and boost the immune system (having a balances

intestines tends to do this).

 

Some use this salad instead of a fast day when feeding a raw meaty bone

diet. You can keep the extra for 3 days in the fridge and only warming it

up before serving. A good way to know if you dog would benefit from a

fermented salad is to check the white of the eyes, if blood shot then this

is a good time to have the Fermented salad. It is not though the only thing

(anti oxidants like vit C can be helpful or exercise for instance.

Our 14 yr old 80 lb Golden has been on a raw meat diet for six years now and

looks half his age... no white face. He came down with arthritis that was

so bad that I had to carry him up the stairs (which got old

quickly) when he turned eight. At that time, I received Dr. Bruce

West's newsletter. In it, West said that if you feed your dog raw meat for

thirty days, any arthritis will clear up... guaranteed. I did some
