When we buy commercial “fresh” or “natural” fresh pet food for our dogs, we often think only about the specific ingredients listed on the label. But rarely do we think about the complex journey that food must go through before it finally reaches our dog. Transport, packaging, and storage represent critical points in this process.
Consequently, if food does not contain strong preservatives, it naturally tends to deteriorate during transport and become contaminated with various dangerous pathogens. Therefore, the essential question remains: what truly happens to that food between the moment of production and the moment you place it in your dog’s bowl?
A Lesson Through Tears: The Trap of Convenience
We frequently witness painful moments when owners, faced with the severe consequences of their choices, deeply regret taking the easier path. The story of an owner crying while saying it was easier to buy ready-made fresh pet food than to cook, even though holistic veterinarians advised otherwise, serves as a clear warning for all of us.
Excuses such as “I don’t have time,” “I don’t know how,” or “I’m too tired” disappear instantly when the dog becomes ill. At that exact moment, we would give anything in the world to go back and choose the more difficult, but safer path.
The Responsibility of the Home Kitchen
The main goal of this discussion does not involve spreading fear, but rather promoting conscious responsibility. When you prepare fresh pet food for your dog yourself, you control every single step of the process.
There is no storage in inadequate warehouses, no transport in high temperatures, and no invisible pathogens developing inside sealed packaging. Simultaneously, what you prepare with care, attention, love, and full presence becomes the safest and healthiest meal you can offer your dog. Ultimately, that dedication represents an investment in your dog’s life that has no price.
Transport, packaging, and storage are critical points where fresh pet food can easily deteriorate.

When homeopathy enters a conversation, people often imagine tiny sugar pellets or drops of water and wonder how something so simple could possibly possess healing power. The answer to how homeopathy works lies in the foundational concepts of physics, information, and energetic frequencies. Using specialized methods, practitioners transfer a precise energetic frequency of a specific plant or natural substance into a base of sugar or water, directly imitating wisdom found in nature. Consequently, when your dog takes that pellet or drinks that drop of water, it ingests information intended to stimulate the organism to recognize and eliminate the imbalance itself rather than heavy chemicals.
The Principle of Similarity: Micro Doses That Heal
Homeopathy relies on the ancient natural principle that “like cures like.” Certain plants or substances that cause specific symptoms in large quantities can, in extremely diluted homeopathic doses, produce the opposite effect and support the organism instead.
Therefore, by introducing this minimal and precise frequency, the dog’s immune system receives a clear signal encouraging the body to restore internal balance. However, this is precisely why many people view natural healing approaches as gentle forms of support that eliminate the heavy toxic burden often associated with strong chemical exposure to the liver and kidneys.
Active Cooperation With Professionals
Every holistic protocol we create for dogs includes detailed research into commonly recommended homeopathic preparations. Simultaneously, the main purpose involves helping owners become more conscious and active participants in discussions with health professionals. Through an interview conducted by a homeopath, owners describe the specific behaviors, habits, emotional patterns, and sensitivities of their dog.
Based on those details, the practitioner can determine an individualized constitutional approach more precisely. Ultimately, understanding how homeopathy works allows us to approach the body through the broader harmony of the organism itself, supporting awareness, balance, and the vitality of our closest companions.

For something new to emerge, something old must be released. That process rarely feels pleasant. It carries uncertainty, fear, and a deep sense of loss. But, like in the well-known story of the eagle, it may represent the only way to survive and continue forward.
The Lesson of the Eagle: Vulnerability as the Path to Survival
After decades of life, the eagle reaches a point where its wings become heavy, its claws dull, and its beak too long for hunting. Consequently, it then retreats to an isolated place and does the unimaginable: it tears out its own feathers, breaks its claws, and strikes its beak against a rock until it shatters completely.
During this period, it cannot fly, cannot feed itself, and stands completely exposed to predators.
Therefore, if it does not go through this painful process, it will not survive. However, if it successfully completes this challenge, it gains decades more life.
The Brain’s Resistance to a New Life
Every movement of a spiritual being toward an inner awakening through physical reality brings discomfort to the body and mind. This is the exact moment of inner awakening when a person becomes most afraid of everything. Your brain and your body are programmed to survive within what remains familiar, and they will strongly resist every change that leaves them “without a beak and feathers.”
Like in the well-known story of the eagle, transformation may be the only way to survive and continue forward.
Yet it is precisely in that darkness, when we stop relying on old patterns, that life begins to appear before us in an entirely new form. Simultaneously, what frightens us the most often constitutes exactly what transforms us. Do not retreat from the pain of transformation. Ultimately, it serves as a clear sign that the old armor is falling away to make space for the wings that will carry you forward.

In the world of dogs, every time you leave the house, the dog perceives this action as going on a hunt. Hunting represents the most dangerous reason for separation because anything can happen during it, such as an attack from another predator or a severe injury.
Furthermore, a dog has no perception of time. Consequently, the dog does not know whether you have been gone for five minutes or three hours. It only knows that you left and that you returned.
The Trap of Excessive Attention
The biggest mistake we make lies in the ritual of returning home. We often walk in saying, “Kids, I’m home!” or immediately begin petting the dog. However, from the dog’s perspective, this behavior confirms that the “hunt” was indeed dangerous and that your return constitutes something extraordinary. In this way, we unconsciously feed the dog’s insecurity and its fear of the next separation.
The Rule: Don’t Look, Don’t Talk, Don’t Touch
When you execute a calm arrival home, act like the leader of a pack returning from completed work. Put down your bag, take off your jacket, and calmly continue with your routine without rushing.
Therefore, do not immediately look at the dog or speak to it. You have successfully completed your “hunt,” and the dog should remain calm and in its place.
Simultaneously, only when the energy in the room has completely settled, and the dog becomes neutral to your presence, should you initiate calm contact. Calm arrivals teach the dog that your departure and return represent completely normal and safe parts of life. Ultimately, the calmer your return, the safer your dog feels within the rhythm of everyday life.
The place where the dog stays should be his oasis of peace, not a place for panic.

Responsible ownership and animal welfare awareness in Norway have reached the level of law, turning routine spaying and neutering of healthy dogs into a thing of the past. Yes, you read that correctly. According to Norway’s Animal Welfare Act, surgical procedures and the removal of healthy body parts remain illegal unless a owner proves a justifiable reason related to the health or welfare of the animal itself.
Consequently, the question Norwegians asked did not center on controlling dogs. Instead, they asked whether humans possess the right to remove a healthy organ from an animal without medical necessity. Their answer became national law. Simultaneously, Norway has virtually no problem with stray dogs, making street dogs an extremely rare occurrence. Most dogs carry identification, owners demonstrate high levels of responsibility, and authorities consistently enforce animal welfare laws.
How Responsible Ownership Replaces Routine Sterilization
This raises a very important question regarding animal welfare. For years, experts told us that routine spaying and neutering remained necessary to reduce the number of abandoned dogs. However, we now look at Norway.
Norway legally prohibits routine spaying and neutering of healthy dogs. Yet, abandoned dogs remain extremely rare across the country. Therefore, the nation addresses the problem not by removing reproductive organs, but through education, accountability, and responsible ownership.
Conscious Relationships and Responsible Ownership as the Alternative
The problem of abandoned dogs does not find its solution at the end of a scalpel. Instead, societies solve it through education, awareness, and a profound shift in social responsibility. Consequently, the most important question does not ask whether a dog should undergo surgery. The real question asks what kind of society we become when we attempt to solve human responsibility through surgery rather than through conscious behavior.
This is why the Pure Love & Harmony formula and the Sasha Riess approach focus on reconciliation between people and their dogs through knowledge, understanding, responsibility, and sustainable love. The emphasis on education and respect for the natural nature of the dog places responsible ownership at the center of any long-term solution.
CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIPS AND RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP AS THE ALTERNATIVE.
Norway’s Animal Welfare Act, Section 9
“Surgical procedures or removal of body parts must not be carried out unless there is a justifiable reason to do so out of consideration for the animal’s health.”
Now I feel genuinely interested in your opinion. Ultimately, if a society can address the problem of abandoned dogs without routine spaying and neutering of healthy animals, is it time to reopen this discussion?
