		<title>Cats &amp; Dogs are Different When it Comes to a Natural Approach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

There are a number of ways that make cats and dogs very different when it comes to a natural approach.

	Cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores.  Both need moisture in their diets but cats more so.  You should always use muscle testing to find the appropriate diet for your dog or cat.   A 100% dry diet has never muscle tested for any of our own animals or those of a client.  Sometimes a dry and wet diet will be the best though.  When you do feed dry, make sure you ...]]></description>

		<title>Petiquette With Jim Burwell: Getting A New Dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thinking about getting a new dog or puppy? Generally it’s better to plan an adoption from a shelter or the purchase of a pure bred dog.

Discarded and left under a car at a nearby auto dealership, a little 8 week old black lab puppy entered our lives last August. ...]]></description>

		<title>Petiquette With Jim Burwell: Keep Dog Training Short, Simple and Successful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that successful dog training, even if it’s a simple come command, takes time and in our busy lives, time is one commodity we are finding very little of these days. Positive training with food treats is not only extremely good for you and your dog, if done correctly and consistently it can have an incredible “relationship-building” quality and doesn’t require nearly the amount of time you might expect. As you look at structuring your dog training, keep these simple tips in mind:

	Cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores.  Both need moisture in their diets but cats more so.  You should always use muscle testing to find the appropriate diet for your dog or cat.   A 100% dry diet has never muscle tested for any of our own animals or those of a client.  Sometimes a dry and wet diet will be the best though.  When you do feed dry, make sure you ...]]></description>
