Acupuncture is not as scary as people often feel. The needles are tiny and they don't go deep. I was afraid of it too until I saw Jasmine getting it. And she HATES NEEDLES! But those small acupuncture needles don't bother her. And acupuncture can bring fantastic results without the side effects of drugs! Great idea including the video!

I'm the publisher and I wanted to meet with you to do an article. It was an extremely busy time and you suggested I view your website and see if there was anything of interest. I have submitted the article you wrote about Eastern Vet medicine, chi Institute and Pet Tao to my corporate office. It may need to be shortened and edited (we are not permitted to publish articles that are considered advertorials) but I think it's a great article. I would still like to meet with you at your convenience. Thanks, Bonnie Crawford Natural Awakenings Nashville Dr. Smith,

]]> Comment on Rescued Dog Rudy by Cody Gosselin http://www.marcsmithvet.com/2009/11/13/rescued-dog-rudy/comment-page-1/#comment-319 Cody Gosselin Thu, 25 Mar 2010 19:36:06 +0000 http://www.marcsmithvet.com/?p=185#comment-319 I am sad to report that Rudy passed away. He was starting to recover and looked like he might make it and even got up with the help of a sling and could move his left leg and stand on it and would drag his right leg. Near his end he was able to move both legs slowly but couldn't really walk. He eat everything we put in front of him and gained about 15 pounds. His ribs faded away and his skin and eyes were showing life again. But, then in late January, 2010 Rudy took a turn for the worse and never recovered. He fell fast and within a week he was gone. I was with him till the end and loved him and he knew it. I changed his blankets and bedding 3 times a day. He will be remembered and I thank Dr. Smith for trying but as we rescue these dogs off the Streets it's usually too late by the time we get to them. He will be remembered as a comedian who would constantly talk to the cats that shared his room. The cats would tease him and he would tell them off. It was funny to watch and I still see him today when I look over in the corner of the room where his bedding was. We will see you at Rainbows Bridge Rudy. Take care...

The answer is "no>." There is no evidence that this type of diet helps from a Western standpoint. We can only extrapolate from our human counterparts. However, in my practice, the dogs on Pettao exude vibrancy and health far beyond dogs on a more conventional diet. So, i guess the evidence is mostly anecdotal from me. Thanks for your comment!!!!!
