Review of Nulo Hydrate Beef Brisket Flavor Water Enhancer For Dogs
According to our most recent data, this product is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.

Review of Ingredients
In our review of Nulo Hydrate Beef Brisket Flavor Water Enhancer For Dogs, we'll examine all 15 ingredients and highlight the nutritional contribution of each ingredient.

While the first few ingredients typically dominate the recipe's composition, ingredients in small quantities can still have a meaningful impact on the overall nutritional profile of the recipe.

Water is an essential ingredient in wet dog food, providing hydration and helping to maintain the proper texture of the food.

Natural beef brisket flavor enhances the taste of your dog's food, making it more appealing and enjoyable for your pet. This natural flavoring comes from real beef brisket, ensuring a high-quality, authentic taste that your dog will love.

L-leucine is an essential amino acid that aids in muscle recovery and growth, and it's crucial for dogs' overall health and vitality.

L-valine is an essential amino acid that supports muscle growth, tissue repair, and immune function in dogs.

L-isoleucine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in muscle development, repair, and recovery, supporting your dog's overall health and physical performance.

L-lysine is an essential amino acid that helps support a healthy immune system and aids in the production of enzymes and antibodies.

DL-Methionine is an essential amino acid that supports your dog's overall health by promoting proper protein synthesis, maintaining healthy skin and coat, and aiding in the detoxification process.

Rosemary extract is a natural antioxidant that can help protect your dog's body from the harmful effects of free radicals. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can support your dog's overall health and well-being, particularly in regard to joint health.

While salt is a necessary component of a dog's diet, providing essential minerals such as sodium and chloride for proper cellular function, it should be provided in moderation to avoid health issues like hypertension or kidney damage.

Potassium Sorbate is a safe preservative often used in dog food to inhibit the growth of mold and yeast, thereby extending the product's shelf life.

Citric acid is a natural preservative that helps maintain the freshness and quality of dog food. It also acts as an antioxidant, which can help protect your dog's cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Taurine is an essential amino acid that supports heart health, vision, and development and function of skeletal muscle.

Potassium chloride is an essential mineral supplement that helps maintain your dog's electrolyte balance and supports healthy nerve and muscle function.

Vitamin B12 Supplement is an essential vitamin that helps support brain function and the formation of red blood cells.

Review of Guaranteed Analysis
The Crude Protein content of 2.00% in this water enhancer for dogs is primarily derived from the amino acids listed in the ingredients such as L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine, L-Lysine, and DL-Methionine. These are the building blocks of proteins and are likely included in a form that is readily utilized by the dog's body. The Natural Beef Brisket Flavor may also contribute some protein content, but given that flavorings are typically used in small amounts, the amino acids are likely the main contributors.

The Crude Fat content of 0.02% is extremely low, which is expected in a water-based product like this. The minimal fat present could be naturally occurring traces within the beef flavoring or other ingredients, but since fats are not a primary component of this product, it's not a significant source of dietary fat for a dog.

Crude Fiber at a maximum of 0.20% suggests that this product contains very little in the way of indigestible plant material, which is consistent with the lack of plant-based ingredients in the list. The small amount of fiber present could be incidental from the natural sources used for flavor or other ingredients that might have trace amounts of fiber.

Lastly, the calorie content of 513.00 per kg indicates the energy that the product provides. Given the low protein and fat content, the calories might be derived from the amino acids and perhaps minor amounts of carbohydrates or other organic compounds in the beef flavoring or preservatives. However, since this is a water enhancer and not a primary source of nutrition, the calorie content is not as significant as it would be in a complete food product.

Still drinking from those plastic water bottles?

Recent scientific discoveries have brought to light a concerning issue that’s far closer to home than we might have imagined: tiny plastic particles, known as microplastics, are infiltrating our bodies.

08/29/2024

What I have learned since becoming an Equine Touch practitioner in 2005, is that over the years horses cannot benefit from just one modality or even guessing if something is working with them.
This is where doing muscle testing on an animal is more beneficial and better results, than just guessing.
The very first thing I do, is communicate with the animals, asking what needs are to be addressed, Body work, Nutritional, Emotional, as well as just being there for the animal.
Being an animal communicator, is hard at time, as I hear their needs, pains, loneliness.
I have laughed with, cried with, as well as felt the emotions they are experiencing. I will never forget the time I worked on a rescue horse, the emotions she showed me, was so over whelming, I couldn't stop shaking for hours, after working with her. Then I got to experience the release she had afterwards.
THIS IS WHY I DO THE GIFT THAT GOD HAS GRANTED ME.
I have not been on this the page in a while, but that is going to change, God and animals have told me that they want me to help animals again. So here I am.





Note: One of the biggest hurtles animal have to face are their owners. Owner can be skeptical on whether or not their animal can be helped. My biggest accomplishment with animals is when the owners believe in me.

IS SOY BAD FOR DOGS ?
Here are just a few of the health concerns about soy for dogs …

Glyphosate In GMO Soybeans
The first reason to avoid soy is that most US-grown soybeans are genetically modified (GMO). The FDA says that in 2018, 94% of US soybean crops were GMO. And GMO foods come with high levels of glyphosate (Roundup), which the WHO has designated as a “probable carcinogen.” A 2014 Norwegian study found that GMO soy contained “high residues of glyposate” at a rate of 3.3mg/kg. In addition to the toxicity of glyphosate itself, the same study found that nutrition in GMO soybean crops was different from organic or conventional soybeans, and were significantly lower in protein and higher in omega-6 fatty acids. And glyphosate destroys the good bacteria in your dog’s gut, weakening your dog’s immune system.

Antibiotic resistant genes in GMO crops are also implicated in the growing world threat of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Antinutrients And Leaky Gut
Like other legumes, soy contains proteins called lectins, which have an “antinutrient” effect. Lectins are sticky proteins that bind to carbyhydrates and interfere with digestive enzymes. So they block your dog’s absorption of vitamins and minerals. Antinutrients in soy can cause digestive issues like gas, diarrhea and bloating.

The damage lectins do in the gut may lead to leaky gut syndrome. A 2018 international study found that soybean agglutinin (the main antinutrient in soy) ” … negatively affects intestinal structure, intestinal permeability, mucosal immune system, and intestinal flora”. Leaky gut in dogs causes many chronic health issues … including allergies, arthritis and autoimmune disease.

Thyroid Risks
Some studies show that soy may lower thyroid function and could lead to hypothyroidism in dogs. Veterinarian Dr Jean Dodds says …

“Soy interferes with the thyroid gland’s ability to make T4 (thyroxine) and (T3) tri-iodothyronine, hormones necessary for normal thyroid function. In dogs, the result is hypothyroidism.”

Soy may have goitrogenic effects, meaning it can suppress thyroid function by interfering with iodine uptake. In fact, if you have a hypothyroid dog on medication, Dr Dodds recommends giving the meds away from foods that contains soy.

ALLERGIES
This is ironic, because soy is a common ingredient in prescription allergy diets for dogs … but there’s growing concern that GMO foods, including soy, may be triggering a steep increase in food allergies. The Institute for Responsible Technology reported in May 2007 that GMO foods may be causing rising food allergies. that As long ago as 1999, researchers the UK’s York Laboratory found that allergic reactions to soy had shot up by 50% over the previous year. This was thought to be due to the fact that GMO soy had recently entered the UK and the soy used in the study was largely GM. If this is happening in people, it’s likely to be the same for your dog. If your dog has allergies or food sensitivities, consider whether an ingredient like soybean meal in dog food could be the culprit.

Phytoestrogens In Soy
Phytoestrogens are estrogens in plants that are potentially harmful. Soy is high in phytoestrogens with hormonal effects that are thought to be mostly harmful. In people they can lead to infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome and perhaps breast cancer. So it’s worrying that a 2004 study of commercial dog foods by University of Pennsylvania found that 11 out of 12 foods that contained soybean ingredients contained phytoestrogens (isoflavones, coumestans, and lignans). The researchers concluded that “…certain commercial dog foods contain phytoestrogens in amounts that could have biological effects when ingested long-term.” Phytoestrogens may also increase dementia risk.

**Eating soybean products is linked to seizures in dogs.

SO HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S IN YOUR DOG FOOD.
You can find soy products in most kibble, canned and veterinarian-based diets today. But it’s not always to spot it on the ingredient label.

Soy can be buried in ingredient lists under many different names: lecithin, hydrolyzed protein (usually in allergy diets), monosodium glutamate, vitamin E, tocopherols. Many products with vegetable, plant or bean in the name (plus tofu, tempeh and textured vegetable protein) are all soy based … textured vegetable protein, textured soy flour (TSF), vegetable broth, guar gum, and even the all-encompassing “natural flavoring.”

Video and description of how the tick gets into the skin.

Their highly specialized biting technique allows ticks to pierce skin with tiny harpoons and suck blood for days at a time

08/22/2022

• Lyme disease is classically known to be spread via a tick called the Ixodes
scapularis
• There are other ticks that deserve attention too, such as the Ixodes pacificus
• Lyme disease has been found in lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), gulf
coast ticks (Amblyomma maculatum)1, and dog ticks (Dermacentor variabilis)

But did you know there are other transmission vectors?

• Mites, fleas, mosquitoes and biting flies can transmit Lyme disease
• Birds, cows, deer, rabbits, other mammals, and rodents can also be carriers of
Lyme

But that's not all.....

• Lyme disease can be spread through s*x, and also is found in semen samples.
• Moms can pass Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella onto babies in the womb
• Animals, such as cows, have shown to have Lyme disease in the milk, which would make sense
that mothers could pass Lyme disease to baby via breast milk
• Lyme bacteria survives in human blood stored at blood banks
• Lyme disease can be contracted via dead fragments
of the spirochete
• Lyme can be transmitted via urine.

But wait... there is more....
Lyme Bacteria Hides Inside Parasitic
Worms, Causing Chronic Brain Diseases.
• Research from Dr. Alan MacDonald
• “Found two Borrelia pathogens, including B. burgdorferi the causative agent of
Lyme disease, thriving inside parasitic nematode worms, worm eggs or larvae in
the brain tissue of nineteen deceased patients.“
• “These microscopic worms are endosymbionts, meaning the Borrelia bacteria
dwell inside the worms. A tick bite delivers the nematode into the human body.”

Then that wasn't bad enough....

It’s Not Just Lyme
• One study found that about 30% of people diagnosed with Lyme also had at least
2 or more co-infections1
• 32% Babesia
• 28% Bartonella
• 15% Ehrlichia
• 15% Mycoplasma
• Another study found over 200+ different
bacterial genera in a rat blood sample after
being bit by a tick.

So what is the Tick Transmission Time after being stung, yes stung, not bitten...more on that later..
• Most research on tick transmission times was done on animals, which have longer
and thicker body hair compared to humans
• This is where the >24 hour required attachment time statement/reference comes
from
• However, some research shows transmission can occur in
