Current Interviews

Let’s talk about pet overpopulation. There are many people who are unable or unwilling to care of their pets. As a result, many animals are left to fend for themselves or brought to shelters... most of them over-crowded.

Millions of pets of all types, breeds, and ages are euthanized each year in the United States. There are thousands of good people who help these pets to get a good home and therefore preventing these pets from being killed.

In San Diego, there is a non-profit called Spay Neuter Action Project, SNAP. They run a program called the Neuter Scooter, which is a 40 foot mobile converted RV neuter unit. Inside the Neuter Scooter they have 25 stainless steel kennels, a prep area and a surgery suite. They do high volume spay and neuter in low income areas in San Diego.

According the SNAP people, there are 50 thousand pets that enter in the San Diego shelters each year. They believe that reducing the number of pets will also reduce the number of euthanasia. Currently there are many pets in the list to be euthanized.

The Neuter Scooter provides 30 surgeries each day. Pets that are neutered by SNAP are also provided with Free services such as one year rabbis vaccination, 1 year license, nails trimmed, and flea / worm treatment. They also go to schools and libraries and provide free pet education classes. The Neuter Scooter has been doing this wonderful service for almost 11 years. They have provided over 45 thousand neuter and spay services in San Diego County.

SNAP is the solution for pet overpopulation. Spay or neuter your pet. Also, if you are interested in adopting a pet, go to Chula Vista Animal Services. They euthanize a great number of pets there

What should we do for pets with cancer? According to Dr. Moraes it's fundamental to improve the pets’ immune system. Several nutraceuticals modulate this immunological process such as:

1- Take care of your pet's digestive system. About 70% of your pet'simmune defense is located in his intestine. So it makes perfect sense to take care of his intestine to enhance his immune system. 2- Increase the content of omega 3 in their diet to reduce inflammation.

3- Reduce the amount of carbohydrate, and increase protein and lipids in your pet's diet.

4- Include broccoli, brussels sprouts and turnips in your pet's diet. These vegetables have a molecule called indole-3-carbinol. This molecule makes an epigenetic effect that silences the breast cancer gene. Including broccoli in your pets' diet is very good, but they should not eat it every day or they may develop thyroid problems.
