anyway what's new with tony these days business is booming thankfully so there's a lot of new categories on the market that are really exploding like freeze dried raw foods which i think the pats are really loving dogs and cats better for them it's healthier for them and there i think in a little bit later on we're going to start to talk about diet and health it's amazing you say business is up good that's fantastic but there's a reason for that because your store focuses on ways and nutrition and not this chemical based junk stuff and people are tired of seeing it you know animals and high vet bills because because the support nutrition and they're turning to you in  stores like yeah they definitely are and we hear it every day all day so and it's refreshing though that they're looking for alternatives and you know when i started myself in the business for animals in two thousand and one i think it was or you mean supplements for dog go there so what's the difference between raw food and processed food raw food is like us eating real food life live fitted fruits vegetables fresh me little grains but there's bacteria with first meats there are but dogs and cats are naturally inclined to just take that in and pass and they don't get sick from it so we know and i've talked about it actually and i know that you can take a volt meter and the meter like you use all the triple socket and stick it the wand into an apple into a piece of first meet and you get a voltage reading when you take it in to cook processed food or this refrigerator frozen food and you stick a probe in there there's no voltage on longer and why is that a big deal that's a big deal because we feedback once they switch to wrong or freeze dried or the hydrated is unbelievable from customers they can't believe it exchanging coats change an energy tainted energy level i hear all the time i mean taking a nine year old dog that is now acting like she's three years old who orders and cats too we can't forget that cats as well so i would imagine it's difficult to get your clients to go with this raw food because they think i'm not eating raw meat so my dog isn't right you have that issue i do but a lot of times they're so frustrated by going down the traditional veterinary road and spending thousands of thousand dollars in doing test after test and getting no answers that they're totally open to listening to what i have to say and willing to try it absolutely but i know there's a help because i'll talk about it in the out of time and i've given my dog raw food yeah well i would tell you don't give your don't one day give your dog whatever brand of week seventy five back in full exactly i recommend the issue is in a wild those dogs aren't cooking now they're they're killing animals and eating them eating them raw and bleeding why don't they get sick because those animals are full of bacteria in the wild dogs don't they have good acid in their stuff and yet what we've done like we like us down down their stomach acid and that's the first offense for bacteria so we change that sudden introduction of bacteria they can become overloaded yeah and become overwhelmed and and and they even have some die off involve the of this bacteria and get toxic so we have to we have to be cautious and i know some people say my dog eats and it will go but honestly what they had my dog sandy thing well you should anything with this stuff because this is a totally sudden change in diet huge change we go travel somewhere and we something that's different from our best of the really have issues absolutely  so so that's critical do you feed your dog raw diet i do and i've been feeding her raw for about eleven twelve year you know you you're way ahead of the game on that i would honestly never feed anything never because of her and what i've seen and what i've seen with my customers and the changes in their pets i will never feed anything but profit do people come and ask for supplements they share what's what's  soy latte two shots and either of you think you're being so right you are so wrong and soy shuts down the u n system shuts down the thyroid shuts down the digestive system increases estrogen production increases estrogen especially in children you have a baby formula made with soy it's eight by giving a teen birth control pills baby bottle of soy based formula  right and so i just i just threw it out right open bag of a sweat because i had really had started to get into this but i had bought it anyway and then after i continued to read and study i was like i can't i can't ye even if it's in there it's already processed and cooked at one hundred sixty five degrees and plus it's not even a quality piece of meat right right it's what's left on the butcher's floor which is for that would sitting there and rotting for days before they pick it up and animal digests that's a big one and when i was lecturing and i haven't done that for a while i'm doing that again i'll say just anybody seen animal digest and there in the bag food and you'll see hands go up you know what that is i have no idea where that is to stop and when i started explaining what animal digest is to the history yeah i'm sure so just briefly animal digest is the is the intestinal tract basically stomach intestines rectum the whole thing and what's ever in there in other words all the waste products are not cleaned out and it's just it's just all ground up and dumped in there and that's a term animal digest and the f d a has proven that it contains the drug pencil barba tom all so many drugs that are in there and so much bacteria that's not yet killed in the process yeah yeah so feed it to your animal then wonder why your dog gets sick and then go get a vaccination and wonder why you get sick right that's a whole nother right story but yeah mazing so so the people in both of you have two stores one works by that the other day and of course the one here in per clear right not far in from peter's and a franchise opening in charlotte no kidding or you moving now maybe retire there someday that is so you're starting to franchise the store yeah it's actually when i met you last year it's actually a name that i hold dear because my company was healthy but system yeah so in pretty much the same colors i have purple i have never heard of it or never seen it i swear when it was open your store it was an existing business that i purchased in two thousand and eight and that's right when i got up so i want to show down after yeah so that was now the colors have a name was already there yeah yeah so that's pretty neat there actually some company did pick up after i let it go up the name health yeah so look at food first it's my question every time no matter what the element so when i was in your store last year and i hope to be in there surely you have a range of food so you have the really super premium super healthy for the people that are able to do and you still have healthy foods that are less expense of maybe a little bit less healthy but the way far better than what the grocery stores are selling are big box stores and that type of thing yes and i do that for a reason because i want as many  i don't see that in any stores and so forth so you're on top of things i that's it's it's everything to me and i go to every show i possibly can and try to meet and talk to owners as much as i can so an interesting lee enough one of those products the profit one of those products you are looking at fixed my dog's cataracts i caught them early enough and started a cataract product that's totally natural herbal and that confirmed it for me a year biggest crowds were around the little bows for dog hair and the colors not of what really matters right but i would say i'm using the word both take means small individual get or got a chain and it's not some some big director saying well this is what sells and this is not what sells your main focus is they have quality products and available for people to walk in as i walk into pet stores and they'll have nothing of what i want you can order for you i can order online to i problems and most of my customers try to treat everything naturally and avoid the chemical based flea in tech products which worry me because if you go to read them yeah what what it says is most were latex glove oh well i personally and i counsel my customers on doing like a layered approach so shampoo you use a shampoo that is a natural flea and tick repellent with essential oils in there and then using the head i kind of purposely interrupt you yet i want you to tell our audience what essential oil is people who determine they really don't know essential oils are the oils that are coming from plants that are natural and there's there's different reasons for these oils and a lot of them repel repel insects insects what's interesting is all essential oils vibrate at the same electro your tolerance for as we do and as they do so there are in harmony something that's not synthetic right or in our bodies recognize them exactly yeah and recognize him they utilize right so sorry for that are upset that i had those pretty critical to get oh yeah so it's the layered approach and then i carry a powder that you sift down and on to the skin and then there sprays that are repellants as well so and these products are natural and you do have to stay on top of them used to still have to check your animals more regularly  but it at least can minimize the amount of times you would have to resort to a chemical based product so i mean myself included i just moved into a i bought a house and about two months ago and i didn't prep my yard thinking ahead of fleas and ticks because i would spread diatomaceous earth throughout the yard to get the tick populations down how does it do that it kills them because it it's not the kind of use your swimming pool so my yard is literally and covered infested with fleas and my dog i have not been able to i literally probably picked thirty techs attached to her over the past three or four days about these are ones that you recommend your client yeah so if you wouldn't mind we could just hold this up and there are many more these i literally just grabbed out of my cupboard on my way here this is a parasite dust the one that you sprinkle have to get it really all over the code and down it so and then a shampoo containing some type of essential oils like me more oil is excellent and then there are essential oil repellant sprays so before and like i said you have to do the on and there's another one there's many on the market so there's lots of options so these are nontoxic nontoxic you do have to everybody little bit more mouthwashes and so forth oh and the water additive and with sodium bans i yeah and i saw that at super zoo and i just you cringe because people unsuspecting may well we do it every day to us are buying these products for the benefit of their animals and it's hurting them it's hurting them in the long run absolutely and i've yet to find a study that says i was told not toxic to your dog me either but it's veterinarians are selling it stores so there are a lot of ways you don't have to revert everybody call them alternative i'll tell you that that toxic medicine is the alternative this is the natural way to do that exactly absolutely so people come in for quality food and now you're getting inundated with with these flea and tick issues and i just has been complaining about it as well and that this thing bugs yeah but i'm a firm believer in that because of processing in the way the food is grown and so forth we don't have nutritious food i read a study maybe three months ago and they talked about an apple is that delicious apple our grandparents time the apple was a hundred percent more nutritious than it is right now so in eighty years whatever it is and that's our soil has the plate in that apples fifty percent less nutrition well that apples for the percentage nutritious soldier cared absolutely selection i would say the biggest selection you'll see anywhere multi vitamins everything from multi vitamins to probiotics to fish oils and different types of oils joint amazing and some type of digestive for getting that they're getting that we need to support that the justices they are getting that yeah they do get it but they're not all getting the food and the getting the food not yet i had a classic case yesterday she's feeding grocery store food and asking me what supplements to get and then i and i said i would rather use the money on the food at this point let's let's switch the food bad for your dog she's worried about me she didn't wasn't hesitating like you said to spend the money for the supplement think it is going to be the cure all yes when the cause of the problem is the food as she's feeding the dog a lot of them take it as a personal insult and there was no intent i know they the animal yep the bed bills yep their time and i mean it's it's a domino effect all the way down chatting with what you think is too expensive and that mean the most expensive absolutely yeah it is a hard lesson to learn though so if i was to walk in your store what wouldn't i find you wouldn't find wheat corn or soy awesome so you have little trinkets as well chains of color choice as we are one stop shop and even the toys and things are i would say about ninety percent united states army not outright which is a right which is a real big deal and i remember talking to you about that yeah so your store is located basically across the south is really  good person to get some advice from she she's done a lot of research for a lot of years and i'm happy she's out there thanks so much for watching lets talk out the pats we will see you next time class thank you so much great job
