Why is the incidence of animal disease rising? Why are veterinarians seeing more cases of cancer, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, and allergies than ever before? No one knows the answer to these questions for sure, but quite possibly, it may be the same reason we are seeing more of these diseases in people too! It shouldn’t startle pet owners to learn that their animal friends are continuously exposed to environmental toxins just as we are. This exposure comes from the air we breathe, the water we drink, as well as the food we eat. In higher doses and with accumulation over time, we know these toxins can cause serious disease in both animals and humans. What is not well understood is how damaging these toxins are at subclinical or “allowable” levels. Intuitively, we can say with certainty that our bodies would be better off without any amount in them!

Fortunately, there are ways to counteract the long-term buildup of toxins in the body and reduce the negative effects on the health of our pets. Although one can try to reduce exposure to toxins in the environment, one can never eliminate them entirely. Detoxification protocols are the best way to eliminate dangerous toxic buildup. Natural compounds do exist that can safely bind and remove harmful toxins from the body. One such compound is zeolite, one of the safest and most effective naturally detoxifying minerals. It has the capability to bind and eliminate several kinds of toxins, viral sub-particles, allergens, and heavy metals from the body. Zeolite is now available through Murrayhill Veterinary Hospital in a purified liquid form, which is tasteless, making it easy to add to a pet’s diet. Please ask one of our doctors if you’d like to learn more about Zeolite.
