Food Energetics And Your Pet
Food energetics is an element of Traditional Chinese Medicine that works from the belief that every food has an energy that affects the body in different ways. Foods can be hot, warm, neutral, or cool. Each food will alter the energy of your pet's body either creating heat or cooling it down.How does this help your dog?In this episode, I break down what foods are hot, neutral, and cool, and how best to feed these to your pet.Join the Wildside for updates and discounts!Learn more about Steve's Real Foods.Learn more about Northwest Naturals.Learn more about Lifetime Pet Wellness Center.We are a local, independent, and owner-operated shop that is committed to providing the dogs and cats in our hometown of Columbus, Ohio with the best possible foods, supplements, and gear available.

Add Moisture to Your Pet's Food with Flo from Crude Carnivore
Why is moisture important in your pet's diet?We talk about the WHY!Makes your body crave moisture when you feed your pet dry kibble, so they drink more. Both dogs and cats.Your pets are designed (think carnivores) to eat food that contains 60-80% moisture.Intracellular moisture is extremely important for the digestive tract, for the proper digestion and breakdown of food nutrients. Without this moisture, in the example of dry food kibble diets, the cat or dog is in a constant state of dehydration. Drinking water from a bowl is not usually sufficient.Historically, cats derive most of the water their bodies needed from their prey. Because dry food has a low moisture content, your cat needs to get water from a dish, fountain or wet food. Feeding a combination of wet and dry food, rather than just dry, is a great way to help your cat get more water.What can you do? Add filtered water (if tap water is something you wouldn't drink it). You can warm up the water and pour it over the food. Or warm up the broth you are using as a pour-over.Flo Glodde After completing her Master’s degree in Animal Nutrition and working as a pet nutritionist at a local natural pet supply store, “Crude Carnivore” was born. With an avid interest in nutrition, she has fed her pets Hurley, Marvin, Ovie & Clem the way nature intended for years and now spends every day spreading food awareness to as many pet owners as possible.

Benesafe Solutions and Esther Salata, Founder & CEO
As an Environmental Scientist and Educator, Esther created Benesafe® Solutions in line with her commitment to sustainability and passion for protecting the environment. From her education, volunteer, personal, and professional experiences, she soon recognized the negative effects of toxic and unregulated chemicals on wildlife, the soil, drinking water, plants, diseases, social injustice, the Earth, and its people. At Benesafe® Solutions, they strive to create products that are in line with their values. Their goal is to be mindful of our impact on our planet. Benesafe Solutions' main ingredient is Cedarwood OilWhat Is It?Our natural cedarwood essential oil is extracted from the wood of the juniper tree (Juniperus mexicana).Why Do They Use It?Cedarwood oil repels and kills scent-driven insects, such as mosquitos, fleas, and ticks. These insects, as well as many others, need the pheromone octopamine to maintain necessary life functions (respiration, metabolism, reproduction, movement, etc.) the cedarwood oil blocks the octopamine receptors causing the insects to die. Fortunately, beneficial insects like bees and butterflies are not affected. The oil from cedarwood also alters insect pH balance, and breaks down the fat that insects need to survive, causing death. Cedarwood oil is very effective at leaching moisture from targeted insects which eventually dries them out and kills them.Does it actually work?See for yourself with this third-party efficacy study and report on their website.
