My heeler pointer mix had parvo when we got her at 8 months old, they told me she wouldn’t last a week, if she did she wouldn’t have a good quality of life, I’m happy to say she’ll be 18 next month !!!!!! She has severe food issues and is overweight but she has had a good happy long life!!!!

Dogs don’t need carbs…they are all converted to sugars
Correct. Dogs are supposed to eat clean meat with a little fat.
Most dogs and cats in the city have metabolic syndrome.@@Lucky-wt6fg

Thank you very much, love your channel!!
@@VeterinarySecrets my senior dog has heart issues, can she still take CBD ?
I have cooked for my 15.5 year old dog all of his life. He has a variety of vegetables, meats, and carbs. He has Yumove as a supplement. He also really enjoys seeing his friends in the park. I have large stools by the beds so he can get onto the beds in 2 easy stages. He's nearly blind due to cataracts so on darker days the lights are on in the house during the day to help him. Furniture is always in the same place so he doesn't hurt himself. On work days he travels around in the car to my home visits in the morning as he wants to be with me, and in the afternoon he naps at home. And lastly he loves going to the country park with my daughter's dog but he can't cope with the whole distance so he walks a bit, and then rides in his pushchair like a king surveying his kingdom. So I feel I am doing everything possible for him to enjoy his life. I'm very grateful for every extra day spent with him ❤
Doing animal rescue for 60 years, I realize the fundamental cost is high, but in the end, it means fewer vet visits, less likelihood of getting cancer or other diseases, and a happier healthier dog is worth it, and it WILL save you $1,000's!!

Thanks for this Dr. Jones!
I fed my dog a species appropriate diet -prey model, raw (with a few extras). I transition him to best dog heaven at age 17. He really didn’t have any signs of aging until the last year and a half and his teeth were beautiful! I do believe the proper species diet is absolutely the number one item for health and longevity. Really seems like a no-brainer to me now but our last dog got diabetes and I thought I was feeding him a premium dog food so I did a deep dive on what are dogs supposed to eat? Da😊❤ I will feel forever grateful for all the wonderful, healthy days I had with him. Oh, and by the way, no vet bills, he was never ill, never even had an ear infection. I’d much rather spend the money quality foods than vet bills, plus you don’t have to watch them hurt.
Nice!
Yes. A species specific diet. Every chronic metabolic ailment in dogs and cats is caused by the same thing that creates the same in humans - The wrong products. Eating food is the medicine. No creature does well with seed oils, sugars, carbs nor processed products.
Your CBD oil stopped seizures in my 14 yrs old girl. I'm always grateful for your advice. Big thanks from Susie and me ❤️🐾❤️
Thanks.
My precious boy just turned 15. He's had it rough, first being severely abused in the care of our vets (whom we trusted after 20 yrs of being with him) office while my husband had to travel for his cancer medical care. Those five months he suffered so much when we returned it cost us close to 10k to help him recover. But mentally he never recovered. Then he got Cushing's after his daddy passed which I think was from all the stress from the vets abuse and then losing his daddy. Then here recently he had a really bad seizure (his first) which took his vision, now he's completely blind, and he's losing his hearing and he's deeply filled with anxiety. He has a hard time walking. I am so grateful for every day I have with him because I can see his time isn't on his side. My other dogs lived long lives, 20 yrs, but they never had stressful lives or an abusive environment for anytime in their lives. I'm doing my best to help my precious boy with our time left.
He was abused at the vet office?
My 12-year-old Minpinzu has been acting like a puppy since I started him on your Ultimare Canine Supplement a few years ago! I also make all his food like you show in your videos. I also give him your CBD oil for arthritis and anxiety. Thanks for all you do! 💜
Our dogs tend to live into their high teens. I have a working (not showing, real working) border collie who still works daily at 12 1/2. I keep my dogs lean, they are outside daily for fresh air and sunshine, and they are kept very active. I feed twice a day, and feed a base of kibble but at least 50% raw meaty bones, and veggies (one will peel and eat a banana). I use freeze dried salmon and liver for treats. My vet is amazed at how long our dogs live. And one reason they live so long is they never go to the vet. They get puppy shots that I give myself then titers. No more vaccines after puppy shots except rabies as required by law and I stop that at age 7. My 12 year BC just had his first exam since being neutered at age 2 and his blood work was perfect. I was a vet tech and I avoid the vet and all the poisons they want me to put in and on my dog.
@dreamgaits
Thank you! That is information I was trying to get. Growing up, our dogs got puppy shots, and that was it. They lived long lives outside. 🤷♀️
Great advice! I mix tumeric and curcurmin powder in with the ground turkey when I cook it. Yes I've bought a few comfy dog beds when he could no longer jump up on my bed to sleep😅 he has been convalescing recently from a vestibular episode and is responding well to medication. Thank God. I was so worried about him but found hope in your video about that and your friend's experience with his dog. I watched that video. We brought him to the vet , she said he had a tumor in his eye and said his ears hurt and recommended putting him down . I was furious! I asked everyone to pray for him and I told that Vet Jesus healed a blind man and made a lame beggar walk. I told her Jesus raised people from the dead. He has had a good appetite and thirsty while convalescing so I knew that was a good sign.❤ Thank God I didn't take that bad advice from that Vet who just wanted to put him out. You're absolutely right about anything can happen at any time...a few nights ago he was panting and moving his tilted head and his eyes were twitching. Thank God a few days later after starting him on the med, that Nystagmus has ceased. Thank God he is responding well. He has been getting plenty of rest. I stay home a lot and prefer to be home with him.
This information is priceless for me and my 12 year old medical alert service dog!!
I also love to watch Tula’s reactions when he talks..like moving the squeaky toy around in his hands, ha ha! ❤️
Awesome video and excellent advice❤ thank you for all you do. You are America’s beloved hero!
Another reason to pet and rub your dog is to feel if there is anything under their fur that shouldn't be. Ticks, lumps, bumps, unnoticed weight loss, etc.
I love the way Tula looks at you, it's so cute!
i thank God Jesus everyday for my cat 15 years so fari thank God thank God
Oh my goodness Dr Jones , Thank you for this advice! Especially the last one . I definitely needed a reminder to be more present .
Thank you for all of your videos! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Just found your channel, such wonderful and helpful videos. I’m a dog behaviorist and I see so many clients with health and behavior problems that are made worse with conventional treatments. Over the last 10 years I’ve followed more holistic protocols with my own dogs and they are healthy and happy. Thanks for all you do !!!
Lick mats and Snuffle mats are also a good way to engage and stimulate, especially senior dogs who may have mobility issues.
Yes that is correct
Never heard of this. Any recommendations on best ones? Thanks! 😊
Dogs are the same as humans - They do best when they get the right food. That means species appropriate food. No seed oils, sugars, carbs nor processed products.
Every chronic ailment in dogs and humans is caused by metabolic dysfunction from eating the wrong products. It's so so easy.
I add bone broth for dogs and cats too. They never get plane kibble. They get pumpkin especially made for gut health everyday too.
Me too. Mine loves the bone broth, especially when I have it or just soup. Plus a great, organic sweet potato(a little) as well as pumpkin for a "snack".
Thank you for your videos! Had no idea 7 is considered senior 😮
Kiefer- our dogs luv it on their food
Better than yogurt, apparently.
All the mentioned supplements and raw veggies.
I Love this channel!! ❤
I have a 16 year old shitzu, papillon, Maltese mix. He had a skin condition and a hip problem when he came into our lives at 6 yrs. He is on Apoquel 3.6mg for his skin, and hip and joint solution we add to his food. He developed a gastrointestinal problem so is on a special diet. All of these medications are doing there job. He now has cataracts so site is not clear, hearing is diminished, and occasionally shows sign of dementia. Despite all this the cool fall days we are experiencing make him act like a pup, and the words car ride always get him excited. He is still a happy little man and we are blessed for everyday we have him. My hope is he can remain like this till his last day then go peacefully to sleep.
Apoquel has some bad side effects. I switched my dog to Cytopoint injections once every two months which has less side effects.
Great video! I'm happy to see I'm doing a lot of the right things but am glad to know a few more I can add.
Me too. 😊
I’m happy I looked up your video because I adapted a puppy from Pima animal control center here in Tucson , Arizona.
He has that cough so tomorrow ww are going to the vet and get his vitals and shots and all that, take care of the kennel cough.
I noticed my lab became sick and developed terrible allergies she still suffers from today after receiving prescribed immunizations. That was long before covid. The connection became very clear over time.
The best!
As always Dog your timing is perfect. The love of my life Luke is now 8. An American Lab and still a pup in everyway. It struck me hard when he turned 8 and I suddenly realized he wouldn't be with me forever. The first thing I did was lighten his load by 10 Lbs. He's looking quite sexy if I do say so myself. It seemed a great way to move forward into his salt and pepper years. Can't wait to hear what no doubt will be wonderful suggestions Good Dr. 😊❤
Thank u
Aww thank you for this video Doctor 🥺❤️
Excellent video
Thank you
Great video!
Very interesting 🤔
Thanks Doc !!
L❤ve your videos Thank you Good Dr.😊 God bless you and Tula ❤️😊
Good video. I would like to see one on supporting senior cats. Mine is 14yrs old.
Like the music 😊
Love Jesus too❤
So timely. My Baba is 11. Has a little arthritis. Will take note of your suggestions 😊. Thank you.
Dr Jones, PLEASE PLEASE do some video for dogs with pancreatitis. My dog 14-year-old Shih Tzu had one terrible episode, and I know that can easily come back.

Your videos are priceless! Thank you for making these! I am interested in your supplement but my dog has Hypercalcemia & I'm scared it's too much calcium. Im going to email your support irt this. 😊
Phantastic holistic info. Can get expensive though.😊

@@chinookvalley True, that's how I should think, thank you. It's actually how I think for myself 😊
Ty doc very helpful. 👍 I thought dogs where not allowed yoghurt.
I have added CBD oil to my 11-year-old lab's diet, as well as raw honey which you recommend for coughing. She has medium collapsed tracea, and not only did the honey dramatically reduce the amount of coughing to almost none, but I use it to give her the pills (gabapentin) she takes for her arthritis. I also give her a little taurine every day - it has also made a difference. I haven't heard you talk about taurine. What is your recommendation for it? Thanks, and keep up the great videos.
Please can you do a similar video for elderly cats. Mine is 21years. Arthritis, sore mouth, seizures which turned out to be high blood pressure. Still happy considering the problems. I don’t think he would survive another vet trip due to the stress. Would love some natural advice. Thanks
Great idea on the raise bowl, however mine still seems okay with the bowel on the floor because sometimes she puts her paw in it. 😀 Will I know when it's "time" raise it? Or best too? Thanks! 😊
Please more about cats.🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this video.This video came at the right time.My 11 yr old dog has not been sleeping well, so I will buy the melatonin.I have used small amounts of CBD oil for dogs, it works great on pain & anxiety with my dog.
Love your videos. It sucks that your Canadian and I'm Canadian and I can't get your CBD oil.
I already do most of this for my dogs. Different acupuncture techniques would be good to know, to help both cats and dogs. Can you do more videos on this subject? I'd also like to see a video like this one, for senior cats.
I second more acupressure videos!
What brand of kibble do you use? I switched to Ketona. High protein, low card.
Can you show the one on on her head or is the a picture to where it is
What is the dry food you feed your dog. I also have been doing the kibble with raw attitude method. I found a good supplier for raw near me. However, I just can't seem to find a good kibble brand that I like the best one. I have found is neutrisource. My dog has grain, chicken and fish allergy

Hi Dr.Jones. What would you recommend using for my dogs dry,itchy skin. He’s a GS/BMC Mix 4.5 years old. I’ve taken him to his regular vet and they’ve prescribed carprofin and allergy medication but it keeps him up all night using the potty. Your recommendation would be grateful.

My 12 year old dog was medically sedated today for an x ray and now he wont poop eat or drink water once we came home. Hoping this is normal 😞.
Cold laser therapy for joint pain is amazing, no more meds.😊
Hello!!! Love your videos!!!
I have a question.
Two months ago I took our 14 year old Bichon in for a teeth cleaning. They extracted 4 teeth and told me he would need to see a specialist because it was so severe.
I did take him to a specialist and he wants to extract all teeth with a 5000 dollar bill.
Braxton is eating and drinking normal.
But, I can tell his mouth is very tender.
What kind of pain relief can I give him ?
My husband and I decided not to go through with the surgery but I’m trying to figure out other natural remedies.
I live in Kentucky near Louisville.
Thank you!!!
Blessings!!!
I've used the Boiron homeopathic remedy (in pellet form) Arnica Montana 30C to treat pain in both my cats and dogs. Inexpensive and very effective natural remedy. ❤
Dr Jones , what kibble is that ?
My dog has just turned 20 and is starting to struggle with stairs so I’m trying your tips, he’s already on a joint supplement but I’m adding yoghurt and omega oils. But, I’ve noticed he’s started to constantly lick, excessively so. Is there anything I can do to help reduce that? He ends up coughing etc after
Do older dogs loose their hearing. I have a german Shepard who seems to be loosing his hearing. He has had ear infections when summer time rolls around. What can i do to help him.
How about essential oils? Are there any that should be avoided for dogs/ cats???
Can someone tell me what the dog food is in the back?
It's either Acana or Origen
My 14 yr old akabash wolf mix has been having serious bladder control issues...she realizes she has to pee after she has gone. Any suggestions?
I been told my diabetic dogs cant have eye surgery for cataracts .
Do you know anything about Lanomax® 10mL eye drops?????? Ive ordered a bottle!!???
Doc Jones, my dog is 11 kg (slightly overweight). 11 yr old Shihtzu. I'm wondering if I have been feeding him too much omega 3. I give him 1g, twice a day. Should it be 500mg twice a day, or 1000mg once a day?
Doctor please, my dog has stage four kidney disease. How can i reverse this? Please help
Notice you didn't add Fish Oil, should I still give this to her? I add it to her meals daily.
Can I give my dog regular people's turmeric for pain? She is 15 and walking alot slower. Tried a couple of different Glucosamine Chews, but didn't notice any change. 😊
How do you feel about loins mane for dogs
Thought dogs can't have mushrooms? Lion's Mane mushrooms, however are great for us.
Opps, spoke to soon. According to Dr. Google, dogs can. 😳 They say: important to cook Lion's Mane mushroom(prebiotic) before because it can be difficult to digest in raw form.
Powder form: 1/2tsp for each 10kg(22LBS) (highest dosing tier 25mg of beta-glucabs per day)
Very important any medicinal mushroom supplement is made from whole fruiting bodies NOT mycelium, plus No fillers.
This seems like a superfood for dogs. I knew the mushrooms were great for us.(matter of fact, having some tonight 😋) but now my dog can have some and get the great benefits too.
FYI: Lion's Mane Mushroom
(for those who don't know)
Has ability to protect and improve brain and nerve function.
Support immune/digestive health, plus anti-inflammatory
Helps with DM- Degenerative Myelopathy
Anti- Cancer properties
Build Gut and Immune Health
Improve Heart Health
Can help control obesity
Anti-Bacterial benefits
Hope this helps. Excellent for Senior Dogs.
Hi Dr. Jones, I just ordered 5 of your items from your site!
I wanted to ask you a question I hope you’ll see my comment.
I have an almost 17 year old chihuahua. She was “special needs” when I adopted her a decade ago they were going to euthanize her. She howls and cries for me when I’m not with her and nothing has helped that. She only stops when I’m with her. I just bought your calming supplement and CBD supplement. Can I use both of those? Her vet also prescribed alprazolam but I haven’t tried it with her yet because she’s only 4lbs and I’ve been hesitant.
I’m supposed to go away for 2 weeks on a medical mission trip in a couple of months and I really want to go but I would never forgive myself if something happened to her while away as I have no idea how much time she has left but other than her eye drops I give her she’s had a clean bill of health at the vet. She would be at her home with my family but I don’t want her to think I’m not coming back and give up or something.
Do you have any insight?
Thank you!
you really don't ever have as much time as you think you do. Take those pictures and videos, do the silly birthday party, have the silly games and do _that thing_ now, not later. I spent a lot of time with my late boy before he passed back in May of this year from spleen cancer, but so much of it was him sleeping and me doing my daily varied things. I refused to acknowledge he was even a senior dog until the final year of his life (11 yrs) because he looked so healthy and so young people constantly mistook him for an adolescent labrador pup instead of the grown mix GSD/Lab he actually was. If I could do one thing over, it would be to do more things daily with him besides just pets and walks and ball throwing, and I would acknowledge his age sooner, so that I could give him the proper diet and *_have the proper time to prepare for loosing him._*
The worst part of that bad day he went was that I had NO idea he would be leaving me so soon, because I was denying how old he was and how soon he could go. Yeah, the illness was a complete surprise, but I might have been more prepared to lose him if I had not being in denial... With my new pup (adopted 2.5 year old chi) I'll be trying to do better and face that time more gracefully. It's hard, but its worth it to ensure he has a good senior age when that time comes.
Same here. My dog is 12 ands everyone always thought he was younger . Yesterday I find out he has stage four kidney disease. I'm gonna try my hardest to reverse it. Idk I'm sick to my stomach right now
Got a question? I have senior maltess, vet wants to put her down as of tuesday..says its hopeless.. Dog seems good exept breathing.. She has Cardiogenic pullmondary edema, I made up some rice with chicken and added Turmeric for pain if any, Dandelion for diruetics , going to use colloidal silver as well, I gave her mullein tea when i boiled the chicken, is this good for her or should I skip it.. I am trying my best to help her as the vet wants to kill her..she still walks, barks, wags tail, breathing issues , sacs in lungs full of fluid.. Basically I need to know if the Mullein tea is what I should be doing or should I skip it? everything else I have done my research and I know about herbs, been using them many years on myself and learning which ones to give to pets..Thanks for any help!

Do you give her all of them or just pick one of these?

I have a 17 year old cat do they normally live that long?
Yes! One of my felines lived to be 19! A friend's cat, that lived on an organic farm and enjoyed plentiful sunshine, fresh air, exercise, and fresh organic food, sadly passed at 26...after being accidently backed over by a visitor. That cat looked young and amazingly healthy right up to the end! 💗
Doc how can I get my large breed dog to stop wanting to ly on cold hard floors. He's less than a year and prefers this. What can I do and should I be concerned with his habits at such a young age? Thanks Doc!❤

What brand of dry food kibble do you feed Tula? Thank you. I'm looking for a high-quality kibble for a pug and boston terrier mix (on the shorter side) who is almost 3 years old. She is a very picky eater.
I believe he feeds her Acana.
@@rosalindhb Thank you rosalindhb! I looked into it and noticed that there was a lawsuit against Acana and Orijen dog foods. Someone said that the new people who purchased the companies had changed the ingredients some? I want to look into feeding both home cooked food and raw while my dog is young. I hate cancer and I don't trust the dog food companies today. To be able to feed good food to your dogs and cats and know that it is is a blessing. I have a lot to learn.
Why is this confusing ? You feed dogs meat with a little fat and cats only meat. @@mariechristian5413
Can I stop getting my dogs vaccinated once they are seniors? Not including rabies.
I have 3 chihuahuas, 2 are 14 and one is 12. They get no vaccines and haven't for years. I do not allow them to get rabies vax either because they have zero chance of getting rabies.
My vet said I didn’t have to on my 17 year old.. he passed at 18 .. I had stopped them anyway way before that .. except I got him kennel cough vaccine in his later years bc he would visit with other dogs..
@@jadebell8790
Thank you! That's good to know.
@bethmango4339
Yes, I don't like the rabies either, but my doggos are inside and outside. We live around a lot of wildlife.
When I was a kid, our dogs got vaccines as puppies, and that was it.
My dog is hyper enough
