That Doesn't Seem Appetizing

You have probably witnessed it, especially with your puppy. But as unpleasant as it appears to humans, coprophagia, or feces-eating, is very common among dogs, and young puppies do it often. Sometimes the dogs do it to get nutrients they may be lacking in their diets. However, if you are using a quality dog food, this reason is unlikely. Most of the time dogs will partake in feces eating just because it smells "tasty" (to them).

There are ways to attempt to stop your dog from doing this. The most common is taste deterrence, or using some type of liquid or spray to make the feces taste "bad" to the dog. A common taste deterrent is hot sauce, which can be dropped on the piles. But more efficiently, if you are right there to apply hot sauce, the best solution is just to pick it up right away and remove the temptation.

Even without any attempt at deterrence, evidence suggests the dog will often outgrow coprophagia in a matter of weeks.

What is Holistic Pet Sitting, Dog Walking & Pet Care?

An individual asked me the question, "what makes Natural Environment Pet Care Holistic?" I thought this was a great question and I'd like to share the answer with you that I gave to her.

For the most part pet sitters/dog walkers do the same "service tasks". With that being said, how in the world are the services that Natural Environment provides any different or even holistic?

Natural Environment provides 100% customized services. When a potential client calls about pet care, we don't give them a rundown of the service menu like they are at a restaurant and then ask them to choose what they want. In our mind that is "one-size-fits-all" pet care. Natural Environment operates under the premise that each animal is a unique emotional being and because of that we must tailor a pet care solution, specific to that pet’s individual need. The pet care solution that we provide begins being crafted during the "meet & greet" or as we call it an "environmental understanding".

The environmental understanding includes all of the conventional pet sitting/dog walking item/questions that a traditional meet & greet would have, but much like a holistic vet that utilizes a combination of conventional western medicine & holistic methods for a treatment plan, we do the same. We observe the whole pet mind, body & spirit and analyze the environmental contributions. All living being are defined by two things; nurture & nature. While we cannot change DNA coding (nature), we can help improve the environmental inputs (nurture).

Natural Environment's goal is to be a life-long pet care provider for all of our clients. In doing so our pet care solutions evolve as the pet evolves. We provide different services that help promote a pet’s growth and expand their world. Each pet has a different starting point within the Natural Environment Smart System, but the end goal is always the same, a pet that is balanced in mind, body & spirit.

To achieve our goal we utilize the tools provided by the earth, purposeful touch (massage), exercise(to release the "feel good" endorphins the body's natural pain killer), diet/nutrition(the earth’s natural energy & healing power), herbs/supplements and nature itself to activated the dogs nose which stimulate their minds (adventure hiking). As stated before, we view each pet as unique emotional being, so the tools we utilize for the end goal are 100% dependant on each individual pet.
