publisher’s letter
R
ecently someone asked me why Pet Junction is so important to me. They said, “You put a lot of time, energy, and money into this publication and into your website. Why?” I took a moment, looked up and simply said, “The animals.” Pet Junction is not about me, it’s not about the pet owners, it’s about how many animals we can help by providing information to the owners that help them make better decisions where their pets are concerned. Happy pets are amazing companions, they enrich our lives and provide a friendship that very few people could ever provide. But like humans, they get sad, they act out, they get sick and all too often their humans find reasons to discard them for it. Our mission with Pet Junction is take from those owners any excuses they may have for abandoning their pets. Can’t find a pet friendly apartment? Yes you can, search our vast database on our website. Your puppy pees in the house? Find training articles on our website or call a trainer you find between these pages. Your pet is sick? Find a good vet right here in Pet Junction OR go a holistic route and make some dietary changes. The point is that we work tirelessly to bring this community the information and the people who can help them. Even for the people who aren’t either willing or able to hold onto their pet, we give you the resources to rehome that pet by providing FREE listings to rescues. We are HERE for the animals, we are here to
keep as many pets with their families as we possibly can. Does this work pay well? Absolutely not, but what it lacks in monetary value it makes up in spiritual value. We are not a non-profit, we do not purport to be profitless, and let’s be honest, even nonprofits are not profitless, they just do not pay taxes on the money they bring in. That being said, we need YOUR help. We need you to get involved! We need you to use our advertisers, advertisers only advertise when they get a response. We can’t do that, only you can do that. Tell them you saw them in this publication or on our website. Go to our website and buy a Tribute, or make a small non-tax deductible contribution. If you have a business, advertise either in our hard copy or on our website. Other ways you can help is by introducing your friends and family to Pet Junction, liking our facebook page and visiting our website. Our website has so much to offer, if you haven’t been to it yet please visit it now at www.PetJunction.us. There are numerous ways you can help us, help them, but you have to get involved to do it. So get involved now, we are doing the heavy lifting...we just need you to participate. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and be sure to look for the next issue in March, 2016! We’ll see you soon at an event near you! Sincerely, Shelly Allen Jackie Branca Publishers of Pet Junction

COMPONENTS OF
A NUTRITIOUS
BIRD DIET
By Vanessa Rolfe, DVM, Dipl.ABVP
Is YOUR bird getting what it needs to live a long, healthy life?
N
utrition is a very important part of how we can shape health in our companion birds and keep them thriving. Many of the health problems that I see in my patients are due to the effects of a suboptimal or imbalanced diet. The traditional approach of feeding a seed-based diet, perhaps supplemented by bits of additional grains and fruit, a tiny bit of vegetation, and vitamins sprayed on the outside of the seed husk (or given by drops in the water) leaves many nutrients missing. The most convenient direction to a balanced diet in most pet parrots is to base the diet around a high quality, organic formulated diet, generally called ‘pellets’. These bring a balanced level of nutrients to the bird’s table. Pellets that have unknown quality ingredients, artificial preservatives or coloring, or are stale are not the ideal choices. Nutrition is a complex subject and it is not only difficult

to judge the merits of a homemade mixture but also to make sure the bird actually consumes all the components. Fresh high quality vegetation (fresh or lightly cooked) can bring additional nutrients that only fresh vegetation can. Small amounts of certain fruits can be used as treats. Ideally all of these should be organic.

parrots less willing to try unproven foods. Parrots have a minimal sense of smell and utilize more social and sight cues to learn about new foods. Since the bird doesn’t recognize the new item as edible, they can starve because they don’t realize there is food present.
To encourage any dietary transitions there are some techniques to use, as owners need to actively participate Many birds get in trouble because in and observe the conversion from people feed them too many nutrientseeds to pellets. Usually the methpoor foods as ‘treats’. Some of these ods involve eating the pellets as a foods masquerade or are demonstration, or marketed as apparently mixing the pellets “ Fresh high quality ‘healthy’ foods: some with moist foods fruits, many nuts, and so the flavors are vegetation (fresh or seed/carbohydrateshared.

A bird not raised on pellets may have a difficult time learning to eat the pellets- not even recognizing them as a food item. In the wild they might have followed and mimicked their parents’ feeding.

A BETTER CURE FOR CANCER IN PETS COULD BE THROUGH DIET…
P
ublished research on the “war against cancer” has been available for some time and the results sure look good. Dr. Thomas Seyfried, one of the leading pioneer academic researchers has been promoting cancer treatment through nutrition. He has been teaching neurogenetics and neurochemistry as it relates to cancer treatment at Yale University and Boston College for the past 25 years. The premise for this breakthrough is actually two-fold. The first is that cancer is NOT a genetic disease and secondly, cancer cells need glucose to survive...“Cancer’s Sweet Tooth,” is
an article written by Patrick Quillin, PHD, RD, CNS and published back in the The April 2000 issue of Nutrition Science News which also supports this theory. Even though many researchers have spent decades searching for genetic links to most cancers, the lack of results indicates that they are looking in the wrong place. As we’ve witnessed cancers increasing in both humans and pets, it is not because we are breeding it in; Cancer is caused by factors that change the metabolism on a cellular level. This means it is a metabolic disease and therefore curable by changing the body metabolism.

We have long held this approach, metabolic diseases. This is easily seeing pet after pet improve with tumors understood when we realize that our body disappearing, bodily functioning and stores unnatural, synthetic toxins in fat energy increasing that lead to healthier cells. These toxins, which we and our extended lives. This has pets encounter “Cancer is caused by been done through diet, on an ongoing which with our carnivorous everyday basis in factors that change pets is through the elimination our modern day the metabolism on of carbohydrates and environment, will a cellular level.

It is body. now referred to as a ketogenic disease and therefore diet. Previously, curable by changing generations of the body metabolism.” For humans, a ketogenic diet people and their calls for eliminating all but pets ate high non-starchy vegetable carbohydrates, fat diets consisting of meats, eggs, and and replacing them with healthy fats and dairy instead of our modern sweet diet of high-quality protein. Because carnivores processed cereal, breads, donuts, cookies would naturally consume very little in and other high carbohydrate recipes. carbohydrate foods, elimination is easily Their incidence of cancer was very low by accomplished. today’s standards. This is further evidence that cancer is metabolic and not genetic. A simple approach to this dietary therapy is to greatly restrict the body glucose. This The key to curing and preventing a whole naturally causes the cancer cells to starve host of metabolic disease is as simple and to death. The same can be done in certain inexpensive as feeding nature’s intended diets that can be classified as ketogenic diets. We are all for quality of life. No as well for our pets. It seems miraculous more expensive, harmful radiation or that all we need to do to cure and prevent debilitating chemotherapeutic drugs to gain cancer in our dogs and cats is to feed a “few more months”, but rather enjoying them what they would eat in nature.

Most every animal hospital, boarding facility, and daycare in non evacuation zones provide shelter. Their sheltering rules may differ, here is a list of requirements to board your animal with most during a hurricane:
“Proof of vaccinations. First come. Bring food/water for 5 days. Litter box for cats. Bring own crate. Clients first.” Call your local facility for specific rules governing hurricane shelter policies. There is one public shelter in Broward and one in Palm Beach. You must be a resident of the county and live in the evacuation zone. Space is limited so you must pre-register and you must stay at the shelter with your pet(s).

Best Western Palm Beach Shores 561 - 844 - 0233 My Pet Dog Josephine Nola, School No. 76 When I was four years old I had a little dog named Benny. He was a faithful dog to our family. He used to take care of me when I was little. Mother always trusted Benny because he was never known to leave me or allow anyone to touch me. One day when I was in the house playing with my dolls, Benny was not with me. I knew that the back door was open and I could get outdoors without being seen. So I got my dolly all dressed up because I was going to take her too. I put my coat and hat on and started off. My dolly and I got outdoors and had started down the lane to the canal when I felt something pulling on my dress. I looked around and there was Benny. Oh, how angry I was. I slapped Benny but he knew I was doing wrong. He pulled me home. When I got home mother and my grandmother were looking for me. When they saw Benny pulling me they gave a scream and rant to me and Benny. Benny wagged his tail. Mother put me to bed, but she gave Benny a big piece of meat.

Neither Pet Junction nor any of our affliates are responsible for the outcome of your interaction with them. Bigger isn’t always better. Every town has their “name brand” shelter – the one everybody recognizes. What people may not realize is that there are also dozens of small local rescues working just as hard if not harder to save the lives of animals. Many of these rescues are self-funded and are saving hundreds of animals a year. A large portion of rescues will take dogs on the euthanasia list from local shelters and foster them until they find a permanent home. Foster-based rescues also have the added benefit of the dog being socialized in a home versus picking up behavior issues and potentially aggression associated with long periods of time living in a kennel in a shelter.
