PET DENTALS...

[Irene de Villiers]

Excuse me but this must be seen in perspective.
As you can verifyt on Pitcairn's own website he has ZERO credentials in homeopathy.
He has degree as a vet, and a PhD in microbiology, nothing in homeopathy.

He does make money (a lot of it) training and certifying "homeopathic veterinarians" in 5 weekends of seminars held at a nice spa. (It started with 3 weekends, went to 4 then recently to five). If you call anyone a homeopath after 5 weekedns from someone with no credentials, I do not.

What he teaches, results in very incorrect use of homeopathy in my experience and opinion.
and when last I looked he also recommended garlic

Namaste,
Irene

Raw feeding means feeding the deleterious bacteria on the meat surface.
That meat is NOT fresh slaughtered so ti DOES have a very signioficant amount of bacterial byproducts and bacterial cultures - which will perpetuate on and around the gums and teeth. Bacteria produce teeth destroyiong acids.
It is far better to surface-sook all the meat so th at you remove the unwanted bacteria and acids.
They haev zero nutritional value after all, just the opposite, often including salmonella and shigella, and you lose no nutrients by surface cooking or fully cooking the meat....you only lose the bad stuff.
Since you do not slaughter and feed the meat immediately, you have no control over how bad the bacterial toxic and acid making load is on the meat you use. It matters not how organc it is. If anything bacteria will chow down faster on such yummy meat. They will also displace the good gut bacteria making it hard to encourage a healthy gut environment and thus a healthy short chain fatty acid ratio to support organ health.

The "raw feeding group" has a lot to learn.
Raw is not healthy unless it is fed immeduiately after slaughter.
That is the fact they miss with great negative consequences.
There is no SCIENCE behind using raw meat blindly as they promote.

Namaste,

If you are using bone meal as a dentifrice why not use ground egg shell and avoid the issue of heavy metals and toxins associated with bone meal?

Certainly easy enough to make from plain clean egg shells and a good coffee bean grinder.
I would be careful to use any abrasive gently as you could remove the tooth enamel if applied too vigorously.
