We have a crunchy dog and crunchy vet!

He's 12 and a German shepherd so he's nearing the end but still walks 2/day and w the exception of the neurological Disease he's developed in his body (I forget if it's muscle or what) he's super healthy.

We've not vaccinated beyond rabies and now he has a health waiver for rabies . A few months after rescuing him at 6months old he developed kennel cough and she treated him w essential oils and herbal cough syrup.

He's had issues w anxiety and his feet. He's also had a growth on a foot that we removed and they thought was cancer.

We've not done heartworm either but essential oils and homeopathy Chinese herbs etc.

We did medication for pain and he was on an antiinflamatory for awhile but we've learned corydalis, a joint supplement w msm and glucosamine and fish oils work way better for his pain. Right now we r keeping him comfortable but it's a matter of Time before we are not able to. I'm sure we will have to add pharmaceuticals again before the end.

He's always been grain free. For a time I made a special doggie loaf

We do give left over veggies and some raw meat as a treat. Now that he's towards the end he's very spoiled and acts like an old man

He's been the best dog we've ever had and I'm unsure we could replace him. This may sound dumb but recently w my brain issues he seems to know something's not right w me.
