Is your dog missing the one ingredient that unlocks better energy, gut health, and skin? In this episode with Geoff Bowers of Totoniks, we dig into bioavailable trace minerals (plus the fulvic factors that boost absorption), signs of deficiency, how to dose, and how to stack it with real food for visible results. Simple, safe, no fluff—just what actually moves the needle. I've already seen a huge improvement in my dog, Kim!

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:04,160
to the pet parenting reset.
Welcome back, pet parent.

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,120
This week's episode is so cool
because I might have mentioned

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,880
in the past, especially if you
listen to the episodes around

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,160
Super Zoo, which is such a fun
show to go to in Vegas in

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,320
August, even though it's in
Vegas in August and there were

22
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:24,480
only two products that came out
of Super Zoo as like, where have

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,800
you been?
Thank you for this innovation

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,720
because I feel like we've been
kind of stuck in this rut

25
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,280
without a whole lot of
innovation.

26
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:34,160
There is one company that we can
always count on innovation for,

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,680
but outside of that, like
everybody else is just kind of

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,720
following the same brick road.
And so I have been adding these

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,320
two products to my dog's
regimen.

30
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,320
And I will say since I have
started adding Totonics and one

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,520
other product, but I, you know,
I think they're both working

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,480
really well for her.
She has been I don't she's just

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,880
more vital like she just has
more energy and y'all know that

34
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,160
she I just celebrated her 12th
birthday.

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,320
So I'm definitely doing
everything I can right now to

36
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,560
kind of keep her as young as I
possibly can at heart at least.

37
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,640
So with that, today's guest is
Jeff Bowers.

38
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:24,080
He is the founder of Totonics
and Teutonics is one of those

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,720
two products and companies that
we found.

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,800
We meaning me and my friends at
Super Zoo this year that we were

41
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,600
like, yes, thank you for
bringing something new to the

42
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,040
pet market.
So Jeff, welcome to the pet

43
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,760
parenting reset.
Thank you for being here.

44
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,480
How are you doing today?
Thank you, Jessica.

45
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,680
Yeah, really excited to be here
and then to be able to speak at

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,240
this forum.
Yeah, I know you're well

47
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,720
respected and it's really nice
to have a chance to explain to

48
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,320
your customers as to why.
Thank you.

49
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,240
Yeah.
So I, I think first of all,

50
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,000
obviously we want to talk about
totonics like this is so new.

51
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,240
So like nobody else is doing
this.

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Hardly anybody is using this
type of product.

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:12,480
I mean almost no one and it has
made a huge, I feel like it has

54
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,400
already made a huge difference
in Kims vitality.

55
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,600
Kim is my dog and so I
definitely want to talk about

56
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,120
this incredible product.
But before we do, I'd love for

57
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,280
you to just give people a little
bit of background because you

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,000
have a long history not only in
the pet space but working with

59
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,720
dogs in general.
Thank you.

60
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,280
All right, yes, and I have been
extremely fortunate.

61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,320
I can honestly say I felt I've
never worked a day in my life.

62
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,840
I've had an amazing journey.
First part of that was 12 years

63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480
with the British military and
obviously taught me about

64
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,520
teamwork and something I hold
dear.

65
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,480
And you know, without a the
team, it's not all about me,

66
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,160
It's about having a great team
around you.

67
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,920
And that taught me that from day
one.

68
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,680
And I went to join another team
after that 12 years.

69
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,080
And it was the police in the UK
spent 12 years in the police and

70
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,120
I got the option of firearms or
dogs and I, I took dogs

71
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,360
immediately.
Yeah, I've always had dogs

72
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,400
growing up and love dogs.
And so a chance to work with

73
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,480
them was just unbelievably
amazing.

74
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,760
And that taught me an even
greater respect of what they can

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,000
do and their ability and and
their loyalty.

76
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,800
I mean, we all talk about their
loyalty.

77
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800
And I can guarantee this for any
listener that's out there, your

78
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,040
dog will defend you to the
death.

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,840
I do not have to teach that.
I thought I did.

80
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:32,800
And it's for a very specific
reason.

81
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,280
They know that you provide them
food, shelter and protection

82
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,240
every day of their life and
without you, the most important

83
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,280
part of that is the food.
They would die and it is an

84
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,920
innate fact that they understand
fully that if anything happened

85
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,320
to you, they have no chance of
surviving.

86
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,240
So it is why the loyalty comes
from I.

87
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,760
I believe they did it because I
taught them and I've quickly

88
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,040
learned that wasn't the case.
And it's an amazing thing to

89
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,600
understand that their their
dedication is literally their

90
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,920
life.
I was unfortunate to lose some

91
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,200
during the course of my work
with them and part of that and

92
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,240
part of this is that payback.
I vowed I would pay them back

93
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560
and so Totonics is part of that
journey.

94
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,840
I left the police in the UK and
was recruited for the police in

95
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,600
New Zealand, which is where I am
now.

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,280
I call it paradise because it
provides the best food on the

97
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,640
planet for our dogs.
Yeah, and it was one of the

98
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,760
reasons I came here.
I didn't tell the police that

99
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,560
initially I was working with the
dogs here in New Zealand, but I

100
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,640
wanted to get to the food.
So New Zealand's very fortunate.

101
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,240
Everything is grass fed.
We can feed 20 times our

102
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,200
population here, so we produce
an awful lot of food and it's

103
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,280
all grass fed.
It's hormone free.

104
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,360
We literally do live in a very
special place.

105
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,760
And so I realized I could
produce a food.

106
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,440
Would you believe first that
everybody, a lot of people know

107
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,960
about that food?
It's cocaine and natural.

108
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,000
That was my first venture into
the business.

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,600
I became disappointed, Would you
believe, when I realized even

110
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,320
with all the sheep in New
Zealand and the cattle, we

111
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,800
didn't have enough food, real
food I call it.

112
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,920
So raw diets to feed dogs around
the world.

113
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,120
I came away from there knowing
that I started a really nice

114
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,440
trend and lots of people have
made it available for more

115
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,800
people.
But I wanted to get back to

116
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,280
training dogs.
And so I, I studied hard, you

117
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,160
know, I'd trained dogs in the
police, but I wanted to learn

118
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,600
their true ability.
And so that took me on another

119
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,600
journey where I ended up
training dogs to detect Chilean

120
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,840
needle grass oxygen levels.
So medical alert dogs, you name

121
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,440
it, I started to teach those
people what their dogs could do

122
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,760
for them.
So during that time, Shane, who

123
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,480
was my head of sales at Canine
Natural, tapped me on the

124
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,240
shoulder and said, Jeff, you've
got to come back into the

125
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,960
industry.
There's been nothing new out

126
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,840
there for 15 years since you
left.

127
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,120
He said you've got to come back
and develop something new.

128
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,840
So I said sure.
I, you know, done lots of

129
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,520
things.
Why not let's come up with

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,280
something.
And hence totonics emerge from

131
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:01,440
what do you believe about two
days of thinking long and hard

132
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,360
about what could be best for
dogs?

133
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,800
So Totonics came about from the
fact that I knew when I made

134
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,360
Canine Natural, the most
important aspect of that diet

135
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,240
was pouring blood.
So they go through the slaughter

136
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,280
process we don't need to talk
about in depth.

137
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,760
And that blood is normally
wasted.

138
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,040
It's normally thrown away down
the drain and it goes untreated

139
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,640
around the planet.
The more research I did for

140
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,320
totonics, the more I understood
how bad that was.

141
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,560
So the name Totonix, if you're
wondering why it's Totonic, Toto

142
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,440
obviously is a famous dog that
we all know about.

143
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,880
The Wizard of Oz tonics is a a
drink.

144
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,000
But Toto is Maori, which is the
language in New Zealand for

145
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880
blood.
So I thought I'd factor it into

146
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,640
the name because that's where
the blood is coming from in

147
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,680
Totonix.
So and that set us off on a

148
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,800
journey.
I knew blood contained every

149
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,680
vitamin, mineral, protein that
keeps us alive.

150
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,320
It transports it around the
system and we get the benefits

151
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,720
of it.
So I knew it was the best thing

152
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,480
I could give them, but I wanted
to get one step better.

153
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200
So I thought is there any
difference between different

154
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,040
types of blood and what do you
believe there is?

155
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,200
So as I was doing my research,
it took me to Chinese medicine

156
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,640
and Chinese medicine relies
heavily on on deer products.

157
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,760
So deer velvet, deer antlers and
deer blood.

158
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Would you believe?
And the more research I read,

159
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,280
the more we discovered that the
reason deer can grow antlers

160
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,200
every 12 months is something
called IGF one.

161
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,480
It's a peptide that flows
through their body and ours.

162
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,080
Would you believe when we're
younger and helps grow every

163
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,919
living cell for deer, they
maintain the levels and

164
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:38,280
throughout their life, whereas
as humans, we ours reduce as we

165
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,120
get older and same for dogs.
So, you know, I thought if I

166
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,320
could use this, then I'm on to
a, you know, absolute winner for

167
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,520
the dog.
So hydration I knew is a really

168
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,400
big factor.
And I can explain that from a

169
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,680
police dog's perspective, but
also from everybody that owns a

170
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:57,360
dog.
We used to feed kibble until I

171
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,120
started feeding mine raw and
from a kibble diet.

172
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Dogs are obviously eating good
dry food and so they've got to

173
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,720
consume large amounts of water.
We know consuming large amounts

174
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,200
of water strips and vitamins and
minerals from us.

175
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,760
So we have drinks now Dior like
solutions and things to add back

176
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,320
those vitamins and minerals.
So I was thinking how does that

177
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,360
affect working dogs?
So when I was still in the

178
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,560
police over here, I did a trial
at Massey University, well

179
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,760
respected professor Nick Cave
and I sent him the two diets and

180
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,040
I said why are dogs performing
so much better on the moist diet

181
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,520
than the dry diet?
And he came back with a simple

182
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,880
answer.
So the dog's olfactory system

183
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,040
relies heavily on it being
moist.

184
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,720
So it is literally 80% more
efficient if their noses are

185
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,560
moist compared to if they're
dry. 80% more efficiency of

186
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:45,040
catching their next meal in
nature.

187
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,000
But also fluid is something we
all need and what a way to drink

188
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,080
it.
They are DNA wide to consume it.

189
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,040
So why not give it to them?
But of course, the benefits of

190
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,800
blood that contains very high
levels of protein, it contains

191
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,640
obviously iron, which we all
need and it's difficult to

192
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,320
supplement, contains the
calcium, contains the vitamins

193
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,120
and the minerals.
So we end up with absolute

194
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,320
powerhouse of a food, if you
like, or a drink in this case

195
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,760
that a dog will consume readily.
As you're seeing Jessica with

196
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,560
them, Kim, Obviously they love
to eat it, but the results speak

197
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,640
for themselves.
And why the results?

198
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,400
Blood is liquid, we ask you.
It comes in a powder format, but

199
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,840
we ask you to rehydrate it for
this reason.

200
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,280
Our mouth absorbs very quickly
nutrients.

201
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,120
So the mouth is a place where we
can gain the most nutrients.

202
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,640
I can give you an analogy of
that.

203
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,520
If you haven't, forbid ever had
a heart attack, somebody needs

204
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,240
to pop an aspirin under your
tongue, not for you to swallow

205
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,440
under your tongue.
You absorb it much faster.

206
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,440
And it's the same for fluids.
We're not only giving them a

207
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,200
super drink, we're giving them
very bioavailable drink too, and

208
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,520
one that hits the spot really
quickly.

209
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,000
So that that's what started it.
Venison.

210
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,400
Why did I push venison?
Because I know there are dogs

211
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,320
out there that some have
intolerances to chicken and beef

212
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,160
and lamb.
They're intolerances.

213
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Everyone says it's an algae.
If it was an algae, we'd be

214
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,880
giving them an EpiPen.
It's an intolerance.

215
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,000
So they start to itch, they
start to get uncomfortable.

216
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160
So I thought if I can come up
with a novel protein, which I

217
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,400
can, is venison, then away we
go.

218
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,960
And the beauty of New Zealand is
it has the largest herds in the

219
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,880
world, 1.2 million deer here.
Compare that to the second

220
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,760
largest of 100,000.
And so we have plenty of supply

221
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,960
and we're doing the planet a
favour too.

222
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,120
That was the other big thing for
me.

223
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,800
I've got grandchildren now.
I wanna make sure that, you

224
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,800
know, we're not wasting things
into the water, you know, and

225
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,960
we're reusing it and using it to
the benefit of dogs.

226
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,920
So for me, it was a real win
win.

227
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,640
And I think, yeah, I wanted to
make it simple.

228
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,840
And, you know, Jessica's been
trying it, so she'll hopefully

229
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,880
testify to that.
The fact that it's it's usable,

230
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,280
it's easy enough to use.
So that's where it came from.

231
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,400
As I said at the start, my whole
goal for this is to pay back

232
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,320
those dogs that gave their life
for me.

233
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,200
So yeah, it's I am dedicated to
them 100%.

234
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,000
And so yeah, I want this to get
to every dog that eats biscuits

235
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,200
as a minimum, or kibble, shall I
say.

236
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,360
Well my dog does not eat kibble
she is fresh fed and she has

237
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,080
been since the day I adopted her
but which was over 10 years ago.

238
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,960
But I am still seeing these
improvements because blood

239
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,040
hasn't been a part of her diet
and because I have been feeding

240
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,400
commercial foods.
I just don't have the time.

241
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,520
I wish I had the time to DIY all
these things.

242
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,280
And I will say, like, I am, I am
that person that would be like,

243
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,640
yeah, blood, give it to me.
I'll buy a whole jar of it, like

244
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,920
give it to me.
But I get that most people are

245
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,360
not that.
And they're like, yeah, I can do

246
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,080
with the powder.
Perfect.

247
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,320
Maybe I can do with the powder
and it I will say like it

248
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,640
doesn't smell.
It doesn't have like a strong

249
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,560
smell.
I mean, it smells, but it

250
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,360
doesn't have like a strong smell
to it.

251
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:20,040
And what I have been doing is
actually warming it up a bit to

252
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,240
and, and pouring it over her
food to help warm her food as

253
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,440
well, because I'm also really
big into not feeding cold food.

254
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,640
Another traditional Chinese
medicine.

255
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,840
Perfect theory where, you know,
feeding, feeding cold food

256
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,160
stagnates the digestive tract.
I don't want to do that with

257
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,400
her.
And you know, cold treats every

258
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,040
now and then, no big deal.
But like constant everything

259
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,000
they're eating is cold is is not
good.

260
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,840
So that's how I've been doing
it.

261
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,760
And I will say the first time I
gave it to her, I was like, I

262
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,920
don't know if she's going to
like this.

263
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,440
It's making like it didn't make
a a mess by any means, but like,

264
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,720
it definitely was like I felt
like I was feeding her Stew

265
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,960
versus, you know what I mean?
It was just so much more liquidy

266
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,520
than what I would normally feed
her.

267
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,520
Not that that's a bad thing at
all, but I was like, how is she

268
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,880
going to be with this different
texture?

269
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,720
And she was like, she licks the
plate clean.

270
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,000
She's always been a good eater,
but she licks the plate clean.

271
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,960
She's she loves it.
So yeah, happy about.

272
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,880
That look and yeah, you're
right, it can be fed to any dog

273
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,080
and should you know, we, they
don't drink enough because yes,

274
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,400
they they would never look for
water buckets in nature, would

275
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,920
you believe?
So I studied with them.

276
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,040
I got to Dolan Harmon over in
Alaska back in then is and he

277
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,240
explained, you know, it was back
then I was, it was middle of

278
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,520
winter, obviously north of Mount
McKinley, extremely frozen.

279
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,560
There are no lakes.
And so they got the moisture

280
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,280
always from the kill.
And obviously that moisture is

281
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,480
blood, you know, so they
understand that water isn't the

282
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,480
ideal drink.
Humans.

283
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,240
There's a professor from South
Africa, Professor Burns, and he

284
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,320
looked at marathon runners dying
from over use of water.

285
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,800
There was lots of research came
out and the 2000s that said,

286
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,760
yeah, we're not drinking enough.
And so, you know, they set a

287
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,360
limit I think of something like
4 litres, which is, you know, an

288
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,920
awful lot of water.
And of course on marathons they

289
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,800
had lots of drink stations and
people were taking too much

290
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,920
fluid and obviously collapsing.
Yeah, it's very difficult to

291
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,040
know how much you need.
But the dogs will self regulate,

292
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,840
they will stop if they've had
enough.

293
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,760
You know, they're very intuitive
at how much they should drink.

294
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,360
So if they're slipping it up,
you know, they needed it.

295
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,600
Unlike us, you know, we'll,
we'll carry on drinking because

296
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,560
we think we need it rather than
because we do.

297
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,400
So they have very, very good
switches, but dogs and cats

298
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,600
certainly don't have those
switches like humans do.

299
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,000
If we're feeling thirsty, then
we will go to the cupboard and

300
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,880
get a drink.
Cats suffer worse than dogs, but

301
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,840
dogs still don't hydrate fully
enough, you know.

302
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,240
So most dogs out there are under
hydrated and that causes the

303
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,120
same problem that just for
humans and bladder infections,

304
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200
urine infections, you know,
kidneys, all those things.

305
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,440
So yeah, so this will fix all of
those issues so the human

306
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,560
doesn't have to worry.
Is my dog not getting enough to

307
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,200
drink?
You're pouring it on there.

308
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,960
And they will decide, you know,
which is fantastic.

309
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,040
And they decide because their
DNA wired to choose which is

310
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,040
amazing so but good points.
Well, I think if I remember

311
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,600
correctly, and I don't even know
how we figured this out.

312
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,480
I don't remember, but if I think
somewhere that I saw or read

313
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,640
that it takes roughly 4 cups of
water for a dog to be able to

314
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,040
digest 1 cup of kibble because
it needs that liquid for

315
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,080
digestion.
And if they, if they don't have

316
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,040
that, which they don't generally
speaking, then they're, you

317
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,840
know, they're pulling moisture
from their organ systems to be

318
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,840
able to digest that kibble.
But like you just said, if we

319
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,400
were delicious, assume that we
could get a dog to drink 4 cups

320
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,800
of water to every One Cup of
kibble they were eating.

321
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,400
We're fleshing out all the
electrolytes in the body.

322
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,000
So that in in itself is
detrimental.

323
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,079
Because I think like you were
just saying with like runners,

324
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:25,560
that's why I don't know if it's
salt maybe that they add to the

325
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,680
water and they probably, you
know, they do that with like

326
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,720
Gatorades and stuff now that
have all these sweeteners in

327
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,760
them that aren't good for you,
but they're trying to get these,

328
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,400
the electrolytes back into your
body.

329
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,720
Or a lot of the like biohackers
are saying, just sprinkle some

330
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,680
salt into your water and you'll
be good.

331
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,200
You're actually going to hydrate
yourself that way.

332
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,320
It is, it is a mineral, but it's
not the only one that you need.

333
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,800
And my my belief has always been
this nature gets it right.

334
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,520
Humans break it.
OK.

335
00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:00,920
So whatever we do to nature, we
end up destroying some part of

336
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:01,600
it.
Yeah.

337
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,520
So the guy that I was studying
with to go on hard and said, you

338
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,000
know, calcium, for example, how
much calcium do you give your

339
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,320
dog?
And I'm going past, you know,

340
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,960
because back then I was feeding
kibble.

341
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,960
I said, you know, I think it's
in a ratio of 2 to 1.

342
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,360
He goes, why is it in that
ratio?

343
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,960
We come to answer those
questions, obviously.

344
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,040
So I said, don't really know.
He said, OK, so he said what is

345
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,120
calcium?
And calcium is 1 ion on the

346
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:28,600
periodic table removed from a
metal.

347
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,600
But we need, it's called a
micronutrients.

348
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,160
We need micronutrients of it.
So here's what happened.

349
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,640
So somebody decided that humans
lacked calcium.

350
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,840
So we will add it, we'll fortify
it into cereals, into yoghurts,

351
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,280
into you name it.
So calcium is bone.

352
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,640
That is the only way humans
can't make calcium.

353
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280
All right, it's bone.
And so we ended up, and it was a

354
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,400
study, it was done in New
Zealand, two scientists in New

355
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,200
Zealand.
I can send you a copy of this

356
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,080
study so you can post it for the
for your audience.

357
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,480
And they determined that, whoa,
hang on, calcium supplements are

358
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,080
seriously killing people.
And they looked at it and went,

359
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,560
whoa, the deposits around the
heart and calcified arteries we

360
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,800
thought were fat deposits,
nothing to do with fat, to do

361
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,480
with calcium.
OK.

362
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,160
So they realized doing these
studies that, whoa, we need to

363
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,520
stop.
OK, So doctors around the world

364
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,160
have stopped subscribing,
prescribing calcium supplements,

365
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,640
tablets for those reasons.
The way I explained it, or I

366
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,920
used to when I was talking about
raw food vets, because they

367
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,120
would say how much calcium in
there.

368
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:37,280
And I said whatever nature
decided, all right, because it

369
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,880
would ask me constantly.
I knew what the ratios were, but

370
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,680
I knew it wasn't technically
what AFCO was selling.

371
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,160
So I would answer them that way
and and then I'd go on to my

372
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,920
discussion and say, OK, so can
you tell me how a cow grows to

373
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,440
the size of a cow eating grass?
And they'd look at me, you know,

374
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,960
or an elephant or a giraffe,
tallest, biggest skeletal being

375
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,560
on the planet apart from the
whale.

376
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,400
How can it grow to that size
when it eats an Acacia Bush?

377
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,640
How much calcium's in that?
And they were like, you know.

378
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,600
They didn't know what to say and
I said it's because it is and I

379
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,360
would, I'd been taught that then
and researchers back, they're up

380
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:16,480
now.
But it's a micronutrient, you

381
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,400
know, so we, we have to be
extremely careful.

382
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,800
So the way it works in dog food,
they crushed bone, right?

383
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,400
Well, how much does that dog
need?

384
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,000
So it needs it in a format
whereby they can absorb it if

385
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
they need it or get rid of it if
they don't.

386
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,560
OK, well, we can't do it.
So blood carries calcium, the

387
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,120
others calcium in in the blood,
but it's in a format whereby it

388
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,160
can be absorbed or easily let go
of.

389
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,040
So, you know, again, nature gets
it right.

390
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,720
Humans tend to break these
things, you know.

391
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,040
So I am ultra, ultra cautious
about adding anything or, you

392
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,440
know, taking anything away
because it was put there for a

393
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,880
reason.
Yeah.

394
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,840
And that reason was to make our
dogs extremely healthy.

395
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,640
You know, the mammals that they
were created to eat would do

396
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,080
that.
You know, I always used to say

397
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,480
if it's warm, covered in firm
running past your dog's nose,

398
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,560
then that's suitable for them to
eat.

399
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:12,760
And I don't mean cats.
I don't mean it's like that.

400
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,080
I'm talking about, you know, a
rabbit or something and not your

401
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,200
pet ones, but something of that
size.

402
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,960
So, you know, and that's where
we've gone completely right.

403
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,240
And I understand why.
And I understand we cannot get

404
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,360
away from, you know, feeding
kibble.

405
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,960
But with this, people will see a
massive difference in their dog.

406
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,880
You know, it's 60% protein in a
small sachet.

407
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,800
OK, That's telling you
something.

408
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,520
Protein grows every living cell
in our body.

409
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,760
It's the most expensive part of
any diet, OK.

410
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,280
It's the most expensive part of
the kibble.

411
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,120
It's the most expensive part of
the raw diets.

412
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,120
Is the protein side of it.
Yeah, big.

413
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,800
And yet we are wasting millions
and millions of gallons.

414
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,480
We are pouring it down the
drain.

415
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,840
OK.
The good news is in New Zealand,

416
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,160
for me to export to anywhere in
the world, it has to be health

417
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,040
food or greater quality.
It has to be tested beyond every

418
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,200
single diet.
So I can walk in the supermarket

419
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,480
here, buy a chicken and it
hasn't gone through a test.

420
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,240
We know we don't have the issue
with salmonella and chickens

421
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,440
over here and they don't use
antibiotics for that reason

422
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,360
because they don't have to.
But anywhere else in the world

423
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:24,120
when I lived in UK, if I was
eating a chicken potentially

424
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:26,640
could have salmonella, I
wouldn't know because not every

425
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,040
chicken's tested for my product
to leave.

426
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,640
All right, every batch is tested
every single batch for

427
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,080
salmonella E cola and it has to
pass.

428
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,520
And then I have to take away 5
of that one batch and send them

429
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,840
off for retesting and they go
with health certificates, right?

430
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,840
So it's collected above food
grade and then I can, I'm

431
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,120
allowed to sell it offshore.
And the reason for that is if

432
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,280
there was a recall, it would
look good on the New Zealand,

433
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:54,840
look bad on the New Zealand
government.

434
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,000
And so they set this, the bar
really, really high, which is

435
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,680
fantastic for me because I
wouldn't want anything less for

436
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,280
my dog.
So, you know, we have brilliant

437
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,920
standards in place.
And it's why if you see me at a

438
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,000
show or something, I'll drink it
happily, You know, I know it's

439
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,880
safer than anything I consume
normally.

440
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:15,360
So, you know, it's yeah in that
respect.

441
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,000
But what does it taste?
Like it's really I I thoroughly

442
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,800
enjoy it, to be honest.
Depends which one we do before.

443
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,000
So if you're taking the one for
hip and joint, OK, you'll taste

444
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,840
green like muscle and so that
one's fishy.

445
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,680
But the others, no, they're
fine.

446
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,240
So we do one that's coming out
for you guys soon as a

447
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,200
performance.
That's our last line.

448
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,000
So there'll be 4 in the US soon
and the performance is a Dior

449
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,480
like solution.
Would you believe so?

450
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,440
It's a real hit with our Husky
teams and the agility people and

451
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,680
those that do, you know, the
obedience work because they find

452
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,680
it difficult for dogs to have
enough fluid for these events.

453
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,320
All right, they're doing for
four races or whatever.

454
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,120
And so I made one.
We call it the Diorite solution.

455
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,720
It's just venison blood and
manuka honey.

456
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,800
So the manuka honey is known
around the world for its healing

457
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,200
properties and antibacterial
properties, but I'm using it as

458
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,760
the sugar.
Terrible, isn't it?

459
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,280
All right.
But sugar, it's natural sugar

460
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,720
opens up the vilii in the
stomach.

461
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,280
And so the dogs, if they haven't
got it all through the mouth,

462
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,760
they will get it faster into
their system through the

463
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,560
stomach.
And that's what Darlites have

464
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,120
sugar in them for that reason.
So.

465
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,120
But I, yeah, I won't use
unnatural sugar.

466
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:29,560
You'll only get real stuff with
me.

467
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,000
So hence, you know, the green
lip muscle for the hip and joint

468
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,200
and the gut health is big bone
broth.

469
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,840
It's anti-inflammatory with a
small amount of the Greenland

470
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,360
muscle in it.
So again, all of the products

471
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:42,880
from New Zealand.
So we don't have the issue with

472
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,560
hormones and all of those things
that yeah, unfortunately around

473
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,400
the world they've got to use.
We don't here.

474
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,960
So we're very lucky it's as
green as we can make it.

475
00:24:52,960 --> 00:25:01,600
So since you brought up calcium
specifically and you have a

476
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,360
background in pet food
manufacturing, so Doctor

477
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:07,600
Billinghurst, so I know
everybody is very familiar with

478
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,200
with doctor.
Billing professor Tom Lonsdale.

479
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,800
And yes, well, he says that we
have the most science for

480
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,800
feeding humans, dogs and cats
out of every species there is on

481
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,840
this planet.
And humans, dogs and cats are

482
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,320
also the sickest animals on this
planet.

483
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,600
So that kind of takes me back to
what you were saying about you

484
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,640
want it to be as as close to as
what they what they would do,

485
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,640
what they would get in nature as
possible.

486
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:43,080
So how do you feel like you kind
of touched on this, but I know

487
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,840
like with AFCO, you brought up
each one of those nutrient

488
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,280
profiles that they have created
that they said this is what a

489
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,960
dog needs, this is what a cat
needs.

490
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,480
They tested each one in a
vacuum.

491
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,080
And that's not how our bodies
are designed to work.

492
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,800
You know, we eat or a dog would
eat a whole prey animal.

493
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,200
A cat would eat a whole prey
animal.

494
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,320
They're not consuming one thing
like like you said, calcium or

495
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,880
phosphorus or manganese or
whatever it is.

496
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,120
They're not consuming just one
thing.

497
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,400
So how do you see that kind of
separate from Teutonics?

498
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,360
How do you see that playing out
in like in my, I'm just going to

499
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:23,880
be honest, like in my opinion, I
feel like kibble is a failed

500
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,600
experiment, but we're not.
I don't think we're at a point

501
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,040
where enough people are are
admitting that.

502
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,200
Sure.
And look, the, the reason it was

503
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,520
brought in, I'm sure, you know,
all this is, but the reason

504
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,920
they, they introduced biscuits
to dogs was the Brits to put

505
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,920
dogs on board ships.
OK.

506
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,120
Because so that we could travel
around the world and conquer it.

507
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,680
So, yeah, my, my past
generations have an awful lot to

508
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,560
answer for.
Back then, though, those

509
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,760
biscuits that they made were
meat based and they dehydrated

510
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,640
them.
All right.

511
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,840
What happened in the early 70s,
we decided that convenience was

512
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,800
essential.
You know, fortunately, more

513
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,360
people had to work because they
were getting less pay, you know,

514
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:06,280
So, yeah, families started to
have, you know, both sides of

515
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:10,240
parents had to go to work.
And so the convenience kicked

516
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,800
in.
And that's when the kibble

517
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,000
manufacturers really took off.
You know, made huge mistakes at

518
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,760
the beginning, obviously,
because my, the easiest way to

519
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,760
explain why should we feed raw?
Why should we feed kibble?

520
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,880
Well, I will feed kibble to my
dogs if I ever see them cook

521
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,920
their food.
All right, Simple as that.

522
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,000
The day a dog turns up to my
side and they're capable of

523
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,880
doing this is don't have
opposing thumbs, but the day a

524
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,440
dog comes to me and says, hey
dad, cook my dinner, then I will

525
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,320
cook it.
The chances of that are pretty

526
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,680
slim.
All right, so cooking we know

527
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,920
destroys most things.
So then they add in vitamins,

528
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,320
minerals, but even in AFCO, most
of those don't have limits,

529
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,160
right?
They set the minimums, but most

530
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,920
of them they don't set the
maximum.

531
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,240
So how do I know what Kim's
going to do today, right?

532
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,720
This is how I work it out.
I have no clue what Kim is going

533
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,440
to do today.
She might do a A5 mile walk, she

534
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,360
might do one mile, she might
just lie by the fire.

535
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,120
So Kimmy's going to need a
different set of food or a

536
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:13,560
different intake requirement
than my dogs, for example.

537
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,760
So I've got 5 rescues at the
moment, 5 rescue Griffins.

538
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,440
I'll send you some pictures.
You'll laugh.

539
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,760
But they climb mountains here. 2
days ago we went to Mount

540
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:28,560
Isabel, which is, yeah, it was
18 kilometers, so probably 14

541
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,560
miles.
And these are, you know, dogs

542
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,280
this big.
Yeah, they're they're tiny.

543
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,360
Yeah, but they're on totonics,
right?

544
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:39,040
And one of them has completely
no hips.

545
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,520
We can move them out to the
side.

546
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,160
And the vets were like, well,
that's going to need serious

547
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,320
surgery.
However, we've got a vet who's a

548
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,800
physio.
And so we rescued this guy, put

549
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,200
him on totonics on the hip and
joint, and within three weeks,

550
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,480
his muscle mass around his back
legs went from 12 centimeters to

551
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,120
24.
That's with the help of the

552
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,200
physio as well.
You know, that is massive muscle

553
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,800
growth in a very short space of
time, which now support his hip.

554
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,360
So he runs up the mountains with
us.

555
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,600
All right, so some I never know
when I was making canine actual,

556
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,600
I never knew what those dogs
were going to do.

557
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,560
And so I came up with a what I
thought was an easy answer,

558
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,080
right.
If your dog's losing weight,

559
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,400
feed them a bit more.
This is on raw.

560
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,200
If they gain weight, feed them a
bit less.

561
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,600
Now what is a raw diet?
In my view?

562
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,040
I recreated the lamb.
So if you were eating canine

563
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,480
natural when I was producing it,
all right, you were eating the

564
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,720
lamb in, in the format 2% liver,
you know, 1% kidney.

565
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,800
So it was in there in the
quantities that would recreate

566
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,080
that animal bone very little,
OK, because they wouldn't eat

567
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,960
larger bones, certainly on beef
and things like that.

568
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,840
They hardly touch it.
They will only take a mouthful

569
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,960
of bone if they need a bit of
calcium.

570
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,240
You know, it's not, they don't
know on it constantly, you know,

571
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,320
so all of these myths that came
about or the stomach content was

572
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,320
a great one.
You know, they say, oh, you need

573
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,440
to put in lots of some.
I'm like, no, that if a wolf

574
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,840
kills something or any animal
for that matter, they RIP the

575
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,720
stomach out first.
They go in through the rib cage

576
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,120
underneath.
Now they've got the stomach out

577
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,080
of the way and they would take
the heart.

578
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,480
And if you'd look at any
analysis, the heart, apart from

579
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,120
the blood is the most nutritious
part of the animal because it

580
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,520
contains all the blood and it's
lean muscle.

581
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,200
All right, So they know what
they're supposed to eat.

582
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,320
Trouble is, humans think we
know.

583
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,320
And so it's very difficult to
say your dog needs this, your

584
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,040
dog needs this.
And so I don't know how those

585
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,760
manufacturers come up with those
recipes because, you know,

586
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,000
certainly when they add the
carbs in, humans struggle to get

587
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,320
rid of carbs.
All right, We, we struggle to

588
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,560
burn off carbohydrates, right?
Protein grows every living cell.

589
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,480
Carbohydrates don't they grow
the fat cells, which things we

590
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,840
don't really want, right?
So what do we do?

591
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,760
The experiment failed.
So we then did it to our dogs,

592
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,400
didn't we?
We gave them the food.

593
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,080
Oh, here you go, this will be
good for you.

594
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,600
And then we wonder why dogs are
becoming obese.

595
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,480
Well, I think I might have an
answer there.

596
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,920
So it is extremely difficult as
an owner to know how much to

597
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,160
feed, but that rule was taught
to me.

598
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,760
It was a breeze that I was
asking the police dogs to be

599
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,640
bred from.
And I said, look, you know, I

600
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,000
want these athletes.
I'm feeding minor raw Dutch.

601
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,880
No, I've always fed my pups raw.
I'm like, wow, I thought it was

602
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,240
a revolution.
This was back in 1990.

603
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,480
I was like, wow, that's that's
amazing.

604
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,720
She's like, don't be stupid.
That's what we always feed.

605
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,280
OK, I said.
I said I have a big question.

606
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,400
How much do I feed?
And she went, well, if it's

607
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,040
gaining weight, feed him a bit
less, and if it's losing weight,

608
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,600
feed him a bit more.
And I'm like, seriously, was I

609
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,320
that silly?
But no, we now have charts,

610
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,240
don't we?
Right.

611
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,640
You get a bag of dog food and
it'll say, if your dog weighs

612
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,000
this, give it 4 cups.
If it weighs it, well, how did

613
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,680
they work that out?
They're supposed to be

614
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,720
scientists, right?
If my dog's lying in front of

615
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,120
the fire all day and I give it 4
cups of kibble, it's just going

616
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,480
to get larger.
If it's running up a mountain

617
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,440
and I give it 4 cups of kibble,
probably not going to make it.

618
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,080
Well, I wouldn't do that.
You know, all my raw fed

619
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,680
obviously, you know, so it's
honestly, it's called common

620
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,560
sense.
And unfortunately, you know,

621
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,840
science has sort of removed that
from us as a human race.

622
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,480
You know, my brother is one of
the world's leading scientists.

623
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,240
He's a retired now amazing guy.
And you know, and he was very

624
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,960
practical in the way he spoke
and thought.

625
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,840
He said, you know, science is
only understanding what nature

626
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,080
already knows.
And I don't think there's a true

627
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,760
common than that is that, you
know, science is only just

628
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,240
catching up with what nature
already understands.

629
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,680
You know, we're making a huge
hullabalar about DNA.

630
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,200
Science has discovered it.
No, nature knew it.

631
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,080
Science, yes, has now
understanding it, but it's been

632
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,680
there a lot longer than science.
So and I think that's where

633
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,920
easily LED.
We are concerned for our dogs

634
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,200
because it's our responsibility
to look after them.

635
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,920
You know, they are our children
no matter what anyone says.

636
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,120
And people say, oh, you can't
say that.

637
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,080
Well, yes, you can.
And, you know, in my view, you

638
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,000
should.
We're there to care for these.

639
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,840
We're supposed to be the
intelligence species.

640
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,160
My question that daily, you
know, when I face, you know,

641
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,920
situations where people say,
well, you know, how much do I

642
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,400
give them?
Well, the dog will stop if it's

643
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,880
had enough, right?
And if it's looking for more

644
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,200
than I suggest you give it
somewhere and it's certainly in

645
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,000
the blood formula, OK?
They won't overdose themselves

646
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,600
on it.
There's nothing in there that's

647
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,840
going to harm them, all right.
And if anything, you know, if

648
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,760
your dog's dehydrated, it's
going to do them the world of

649
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,360
good.
They'll feel so much better.

650
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,360
I can remember my first police
dogs because we were feeding

651
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,200
them what we thought was a
brilliant food.

652
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,480
I mean, I won't name what it
was, but it was the best

653
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,720
recognizer, being a best on the
market at the time.

654
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,280
And they constantly had cracked
noses.

655
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,480
They were constantly panting,
you know, they within three days

656
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,080
of put them on a raw diet, I had
new dogs, right?

657
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,640
I had athletes.
I just couldn't believe it, you

658
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,200
know?
And I was adding in tons of

659
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,720
heart to those meals.
And, yeah, they stopped drinking

660
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,320
the water, bought bowls, you
know.

661
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,440
Whoa.
What happened?

662
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,120
Funny that.
And so, yeah, I think what, what

663
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,000
I'm trying to do here is say
that.

664
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,239
Yeah, there's, there's lots of
better ways that we can do what

665
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,520
we're doing.
I think we need to trust our

666
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,960
instincts, trust what you're
seeing.

667
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,960
Listen to your dog, all right?
They'll soon tell you if they

668
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,920
don't need it.
You know, if you put that in a

669
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,880
bowl and they devour it, there's
a reason.

670
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,920
And it's simple.
They're like, thank you.

671
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,520
All right.
Where have you been?

672
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,760
All my life?
My, my, my goal was I would

673
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,320
never harm them, ever.
I owe them too much.

674
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,159
So I think, yeah, it's been my
life's ambition to produce

675
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:44,120
things for them.
And I'm going to have to stop at

676
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,840
this and a little bit of lesson
because I've recreated the diet

677
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:50,159
and now, you know, for those
dogs that can't get what they

678
00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:54,000
need from that diet, then I've
come up with four toppers but

679
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,840
with all functional benefits.
So, you know, your hip and

680
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,440
joint, you got health, you know,
which is working with dogs that

681
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,720
have got gas and all of those
things which, you know, people

682
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:05,480
think is normal.
Unbelievable, you know?

683
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,800
And yeah, the hip and joint is
really, really taken off.

684
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,680
And one I've called Forceda for
those dogs that don't want to

685
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,920
eat that cable every day, they
devour it now.

686
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,960
So using it for dogs that are on
the hypoallergenic diets and

687
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,320
after surgeries.
One dog was under cancer

688
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,120
treatment, so it was extremely
anemic.

689
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,120
And these stories are coming out
now because we're getting to

690
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,080
more and more people and we turn
that dog around in 24 hours,

691
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,440
anemia gone.
Doesn't surprise me because it's

692
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,920
full of iron, right?
The dog can absorb it too.

693
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,920
I know one of my daughter's, she
was always low in iron and so

694
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,960
she ended up on iron tablets.
And my brother said, we get it,

695
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,800
if she's not taking them with
vitamin C, they're useless

696
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,800
anyway, he said, but get us some
steak and some heart.

697
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,600
And so we did that within three
days.

698
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,000
Yeah, I should have known this
shouldn't.

699
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,280
I was feeding raw to my dogs.
But yeah, that's the human for

700
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,680
you.
So yeah, you just don't.

701
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:03,520
How bad is that?
I think better about what my dog

702
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,880
should eat than my kids.
But no, they're fine now.

703
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,320
But it is yet common sense.
Yeah.

704
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,280
Well, and I don't think if, if,
if we look at various food

705
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,760
toppers, even supplements that
are on the market that, you

706
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:23,160
know, I don't, I don't see
generally speaking in most

707
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,840
things.
Like things can work, but I

708
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,440
don't feel like they work as
well when we continue to keep a

709
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,040
dog or cat on a kibble diet.
But there are a couple of

710
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,400
things.
Eggs and sardines in the past

711
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,240
have been like, really?
They're going to really hit home

712
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:46,800
for even a dog that's being like
this.

713
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,720
I feel like there's even more.
Yeah, go ahead.

714
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:51,120
No.
No, no, you're right.

715
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,640
So egg protein 100%.
Yeah.

716
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,520
Doesn't get better.
OK, fish to the omegas.

717
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,120
And those are the reasons.
Yeah.

718
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,480
But blood?
This is the easiest way to

719
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,840
describe the benefits.
It is the elixir of life.

720
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,000
Nothing survives as mammalians
without it, right?

721
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,120
We don't exist.
It keeps us healthy.

722
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,200
It keeps us alive.
And yet we're only just waking

723
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,280
up to that fact, which is, I
mean, we realize if we cut

724
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,960
ourselves and we bleed, then
we're in trouble, right?

725
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,320
We're in trouble because it
provides all the oxygen and and

726
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,120
every nutrient that we need to
survive.

727
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,280
So why do we throw it away?
Why are we and we literally one

728
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,240
of the studies that I'll send
you, it's pretty horrific.

729
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:38,360
It was done in 2021 in the US
Looked at the wastage around the

730
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,560
globe of blood products and I
only discovered these when I was

731
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,880
researching for Totonics and one
back in 2015.

732
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,000
But that latest one in 2021
predicted that if we don't get

733
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,960
on top of the billions of
gallons of blood around the

734
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,360
globe that have been poured down
the drain untreated by 20-30,

735
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,600
that's enough to kill the
planet.

736
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,200
The reason they were doing the
study?

737
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,640
Wait for this, right?
Was because they realize it's

738
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,040
one of the best proteins that
people could use.

739
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,880
OK, It's absolutely the best
minerals, vitamins, everything

740
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,040
you could have, right?
So they looked at how they could

741
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,640
introduce it back into food.
In other words, give the food

742
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,960
something that it really misses,
which is bioavailable proteins

743
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,720
and stuff.
But they tried and it failed

744
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:26,680
because of the heme, because of
the iron.

745
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,920
People could taste the iron and
not put them off.

746
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,760
I mean, yeah, I must have
Scottish heritage.

747
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:33,960
I don't know.
I don't think I did.

748
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,440
But I'm certainly Viking.
But they certainly, I love black

749
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,320
puddings, right?
And people are going, no, no

750
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,600
black puddings, right?
But there's a reason for that.

751
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,840
It's made with blood.
OK, that's it.

752
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,280
I think that's one of the few
meals out there that in the West

753
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,920
that they will eat, and it's
made with blood.

754
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,000
But go back to China.
And when I was doing my

755
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,560
research, so it turned out that
emperor's had their own herds of

756
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,360
venison, only the emperor's,
right.

757
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,840
And they drank their blood from
those day, every day.

758
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Emperors were living to 95 years
of age, right?

759
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,960
And yeah, they had the
healthcare and stuff.

760
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,480
But compare that to, you know,
the people that are herding the

761
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,320
deer and looking after them, you
know, 4550.

762
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,280
So in China at the moment, if
you want to drink venison blood,

763
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,000
you'll be paying over $500 USI
know.

764
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,760
And you can have it for that.
They understand the benefits of

765
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,040
the vitamins, the minerals, the
iron, everything.

766
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,280
But IGF one, it's.
Yeah, so much so wait for it.

767
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,880
This is what humans decided to
do once we discovered IGF.

768
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,920
What?
We decided to replicate it,

769
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,920
didn't we?
And make a synthetic version so

770
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,840
that athletes could win races.
So they spray in the mouth

771
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,080
absorption.
Great.

772
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,800
So that's banned in sport.
Now you've got it.

773
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,000
You have to seriously question
humans, don't you?

774
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,480
Well, every day.
Yeah, only every day.

775
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,200
Only every day, but in its
natural format.

776
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,680
Why wouldn't you?
I'm 360.

777
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:56,760
I've been drinking venison
blood.

778
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,600
No, I'm not.
I'm only kidding, all right?

779
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,800
But yeah, I certainly drink
venison blood.

780
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,280
Oh my goodness, well I I mean
like I said I've only in the

781
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,120
past like 2 weeks have started
giving it to Kim.

782
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,080
I feel like I noticed a
difference even though like I

783
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,840
didn't know what I was going to
be looking for.

784
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,800
I did know that she started to
slow down this year.

785
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,000
Like she I just celebrated her
12th birthday with her and she

786
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,800
has been a puppy.
She has acted and looked like a

787
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,840
puppy up until this year and all
of a sudden it was like she's

788
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,360
getting older and slowing down
and I'm like Nope, I need, I

789
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,400
need to do something.
I need to get on top of this.

790
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,280
And I did use sent me the gut
one because I am working on her

791
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,120
gut health and which was great.
Also again, until this year,

792
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,880
this year it it's it's kind of
declined.

793
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,440
So we're working on it.
But I have definitely noticed

794
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,920
like just more vitality.
You got it in her overall.

795
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,840
It had been months since she
initiated playtime and she's

796
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,800
initiating playtime again.
So it's just those little

797
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,400
things.
And that it's a real boost to

798
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,960
their system.
So we are the IGF one is

799
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,240
literally regrowing cells,
right?

800
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,280
Cells that wouldn't normally
regrow.

801
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,280
It's it's called a performance
enhancer for a reason.

802
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,120
And you know, the dog way better
for it.

803
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:22,320
And there's lots of different
reasons.

804
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,560
You know, a bit more fluid,
obviously the iron, all of the

805
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,440
all of those are the building
blocks of life cannot be

806
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,680
replicated by humans.
Doesn't matter how good we think

807
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,520
we are, we don't come up with
the synthetic blood, the trying

808
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,720
like the synthetic meats, right.
You won't be finding me eating

809
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:38,360
them to past that.
But does that make sense?

810
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:39,600
It they are.
Yeah.

811
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,280
For some reason we think we know
better.

812
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,200
And I still don't know what that
reason is.

813
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,040
Well, that reason is killing the
planet in so many different

814
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,360
ways.
OK, the arrogance of humans,

815
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,240
right.
But if you.

816
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:53,080
What I say is if you look at
nature, you will get your

817
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,280
answers.
You will see this work really

818
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,320
quickly and.
And it staggered me.

819
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,280
I trialled it on some of my with
best friends and one of them as

820
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,000
a groomer and she has a dog that
was 9 and serious hip problems.

821
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,240
And I said, look, you know what
we've done to little Elmo And

822
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,960
she goes, it's unbelievable.
And I said, well, here you go.

823
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,360
If you wouldn't mind being a try
and get.

824
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,600
So look, Jeff, you know, we
freed roar.

825
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:17,720
We're into it.
Let's do it.

826
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:21,600
So needs to say she phones her
back in 24 hours later in tears

827
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,640
and I'm well, I said, what
happened?

828
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,400
I think, you know, she goes for
the last two years.

829
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,200
He couldn't jump into the car.
What did you put in it?

830
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,280
She said, I know you're amazing,
but because I didn't tell her

831
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,640
what it was, I just said try it.
And she said, what have you

832
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:37,600
done?
I went.

833
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,920
I haven't done anything.
So your dog jumped into the car

834
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,800
with literally 24 hours, right?
So how does that happen?

835
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,280
The dog felt so much better for
whatever reason.

836
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,960
You know, I'm not saying it was
a total tonic fluke, but

837
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,280
seriously, it's not the first
thing we're hearing now.

838
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,440
There's numerous stories coming
across that I'm going, yeah, I

839
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,480
love nature, right?
It isn't me.

840
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,600
I didn't.
I didn't do this.

841
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,640
I'd love to say my idea.
No, I stole it.

842
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,600
I stole it from nature and it's
the only place I would steal

843
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,560
anything so.
Yeah, but nobody else, nobody

844
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,080
else is.
I don't know where else we can

845
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,080
get this.
I mean, I guess if you're a

846
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,400
hunter or if you know a hunter,
you could, you know, but.

847
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,680
Absolutely.
Well, you know, that's, that's

848
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,680
a, that's a pretty small
percentage of us in the US,

849
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,160
unfortunately.
Like we just don't.

850
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:25,320
Yeah.
Unless, I mean.

851
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,040
You're right.
And with that, I say, yes, do

852
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,280
it.
You've got to know the animals

853
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,880
sort of free of TB and, and you
know those, whereas we can say

854
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,640
if that is the case here, you
know, it's not, please don't go

855
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:38,800
out shooting the neighbors,
dear.

856
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:42,200
You'll get me shot.
But you know, and I know there

857
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,120
is a disease, I think in in the
American herds, they're calling

858
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,400
it the zombie disease.
But so, yeah.

859
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,680
But again, that's, yeah, that's
not the fault of America.

860
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:56,960
That's unfortunately, yeah.
Just I mean, I grew up eating

861
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,920
venison a lot because my stepdad
is a hunter.

862
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:03,040
So you know, I that's.
Why?

863
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,440
You look like you're 21, right?
Well, I do not but think like I

864
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,680
really do though look back and
I'm like, I would love to eat

865
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,080
like that again.
I, you know, he's old enough

866
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,360
that he doesn't really go
hunting anymore.

867
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,760
And I don't have anybody else
that does in my life that does

868
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,880
go hunting.
And I am not going to do it.

869
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,440
Like I appreciate very much the
people that do do it for food,

870
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,560
not necessarily for sport, but
for food.

871
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,720
And but I just don't think I
could be the one to do that,

872
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,040
whether it is, you know.
Yeah.

873
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,000
Letting that arrow go or
whatever.

874
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,960
I don't think I could do that,
but I definitely miss eating

875
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,040
that way.
I have recently decided I'm

876
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,960
going to try to figure out how
to get elk in my diet because I

877
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,280
really like that.
But I do think that there is

878
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,200
something to be said for even
like for us humans, but also

879
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,480
even if we are DIY feeding our
dogs, like finding foods that

880
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,320
are not in the grocery store.
100% I think there's something

881
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,200
honestly, if if they can't find
anything else, just find this

882
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:11,840
blood honestly, just please.
I we are seeing massive, much

883
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,520
bigger differences.
Obviously, as you can imagine in

884
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,520
the kibble fed dogs, you know,
huge changes in them.

885
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,400
Things like, you know, that dry
nose, for example, is, you know,

886
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,800
they give it creams and also
it's never going to fix it,

887
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,000
right.
The dogs dehydrated.

888
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,120
It's that's the reason it's got
a dry nose.

889
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,800
You know, dandruff, all, all of
the conditions that dogs are

890
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,880
showing, terrible skin, you
know, terrible fur.

891
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:37,000
Yeah.
Is it can be easily fixed with

892
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,560
something added, you know, and
I, and I get it, it's, it's

893
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,440
another thing to do.
But trust me, your dog will love

894
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,680
you more than they already do.
And they love us, the ends of

895
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,640
the earth.
Yeah, I'm really glad that you

896
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,520
have been able to get Totonics
into the US and that it is now

897
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,800
available.
Where can people find it?

898
00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:59,920
All they need to do is go on
totonics.com and we're listing

899
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:04,400
all of the stores that are
starting to stock it in the US

900
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,880
and you can buy it online and
through Amazon now and through

901
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,440
our own website.
So there's plenty of places that

902
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,080
you can get hold of this product
now.

903
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:18,720
So yeah, please, please make
make my day and give dogs

904
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:22,840
something, Yeah, that nature
gave to me, really, to help

905
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,160
them.
And that's the key.

906
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,880
So you will do me a great favor
and I really appreciate you

907
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,560
having me on this podcast,
Jessica, so that I can let

908
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,400
people know.
Of course, of course.

909
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,120
I mean, I'm just, I'm impressed
with it.

910
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:39,640
I'm for not just what I've seen
in Kim, but also just that it's

911
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:44,160
new and different and innovative
and and that has been lacking a

912
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,920
lot.
And as you said, it really has

913
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,720
been lacking.
Like we're, we're just kind of

914
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,920
even even food companies are for
the most part just OK doing the

915
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,520
same thing over and over and
over again.

916
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,880
There, there isn't a whole heck
of a lot of it outside of one

917
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,520
company that I know of.
There just isn't a whole lot of

918
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,720
innovation and.
And it's sad because there's so

919
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:09,480
much.
I know I was.

920
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,960
I can honestly say I was
horrified because Shane dragged

921
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,280
me out of, so I say semi
retirement.

922
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,240
I was training dogs and loving
what I do and that's something

923
00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:24,560
else with Totonics.
If you buy anything above $35 or

924
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:29,400
that's starter pack or Sasha box
or anything, if you buy that,

925
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:34,640
you get access to free online
training that I developed with

926
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,040
the help of Professor Burns.
So it's neurological training.

927
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,200
You will be able to speak to
your dog for the first time

928
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,600
ever.
Their language you will be

929
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,720
blown.
I'm giving that away free.

930
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,120
It's something I didn't made
money on.

931
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,800
But for those people that back
to tonics, they're going to get

932
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,560
it for free because I want not
just the obviously their health

933
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,720
and vitality to improve.
I want their welfare to improve.

934
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:00,400
You'll never need to shout at
your dog.

935
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,120
You will communicate 100% with
them, which is for me is just

936
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,240
staggering.
I've struggled to do that for so

937
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:11,880
many years, but thanks to one of
your professors over in the US

938
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:18,160
who broke away and opened up a
university wing of a university

939
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,960
in Durham, NC, to study the
intelligence of dogs.

940
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,320
Thanks to him, we now have an
understanding of not just how

941
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,680
loyal they are, but how
intelligent are dogs, which is

942
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,320
kind of scary when.
So if you watch my videos, I do,

943
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,600
it's probably about an hour of
seminars.

944
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,680
They're broken up.
So I don't boy to death, But it

945
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,520
takes you into the brain of the
dog.

946
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,160
And.
Yeah, and you will understand

947
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,080
exactly how to communicate with
him, which is just phenomenal.

948
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,400
My dogs lock doors made-up.
Yeah, they'll do whatever.

949
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:51,640
They'll make the bed, They'll do
anything.

950
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,160
I ask the struggle because
they're a bit smaller now, but

951
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,960
yeah, yeah, they'll do anything.
They just didn't get me beer out

952
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,440
of the fridge.
They are just, you'll see it on

953
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:00,320
the video.
They just.

954
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,600
Yeah, I don't drink beer.
I'm only kidding.

955
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,960
They'll get me a bottle out the
fridge, but whatever else.

956
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:10,040
So yeah, your dogs are capable
of detecting oxygen levels,

957
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,840
epilepsy, and these videos will
teach you how.

958
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,520
It's just phenomenal.
Teach you how to ask them.

959
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,040
They can already do it, right?
But you'll know how to ask.

960
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:25,600
So yeah, please fill your boots.
I'll send you the link, Jessica.

961
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,480
I haven't done it already.
Yeah, you know what, Shane might

962
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,280
have?
I went through the Teutonics

963
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,400
training.
He might have sent me another

964
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:34,840
one.
I'll go back in my emails and

965
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,720
let.
If not, just I'll flick it to

966
00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:37,480
you.
But it's free.

967
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,480
Yeah, you've got Teutonics, so
you get it for free.

968
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,080
That's amazing.
That's amazing.

969
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:46,200
And I know, like, I feel like
this is a new staple in Kim's

970
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,760
diet.
I can't say enough about

971
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,280
hydrating our pets.
When somebody asks me like what

972
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,600
is the hill I'm going to die on?
It's hydration.

973
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,640
She already like her morning
breakfast is raw goat's milk.

974
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,120
That's it.
Sometimes I'll put an egg yolk

975
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,600
in it, but that's like, that's
her breakfast.

976
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:14,280
And then being able to add the
blood at her because she only

977
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,880
really eats one meal a day in
the evening.

978
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,560
I I just, I feel like this is a
new staple in her diet.

979
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,480
So I appreciate it.
Thank you so much.

980
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,240
Yes.
I'll just give you a clue.

981
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:27,000
Cana thing that really tipped me
over the edge, Canine Natural

982
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:32,680
came out with a milk drink for
dogs and I can't think it was

983
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,280
cow's milk, but they're taking
out the lactose because

984
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,720
obviously dogs are lactose
intolerant and they put it on

985
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:41,640
the market and I just, I could
have cried, right?

986
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:47,280
It just broke my heart because
humans are still drinking milk

987
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:50,240
for what reason?
That's a growth hormone from a

988
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:52,680
cow, right?
It grows baby cows.

989
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,560
So it's full of growth hormone
that we don't really need and

990
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,200
it's definitely not species
appropriate.

991
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,600
I'm like, why would you do that?
I mean, dogs, mammals stop

992
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,040
drinking, you know, in nature
start drinking milk at the age

993
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,040
of 4 weeks and then they go on
to solids, which in dogs cases

994
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,480
is raw meat, you know,
regurgitate from the mum,

995
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,880
obviously.
But it's, it just baffles me

996
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,480
that we come up with, you know,
drinks that are the exact

997
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,760
opposite of what really they
should be having.

998
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,080
But we do.
I don't know why, but we do.

999
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,000
But eggs, yeah, you can't go
wrong with eggs.

1000
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,480
You've got to be careful with
some dogs because they can

1001
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,480
become intolerant to the egg.
And that's because of the

1002
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,880
vaccine side of things.
You know, I mean, the new

1003
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,000
vaccines coming out, well, it
hasn't hit dogs yet.

1004
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,120
And the new vaccines aren't
drawn in embryos anymore, but

1005
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,760
the older vaccines were.
And so, you know, some of them

1006
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,320
are getting that, that
intolerance to them.

1007
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,680
But yeah, eggs are fantastic
food.

1008
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,920
You're dead right.
And pilchards, Yeah.

1009
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,840
Any Omega threes?
Just steer clear of Omega sick

1010
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,080
as you know.
Well, yeah, as many as possible.

1011
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:57,040
I mean, I think what is the, the
ideal ratio is like 1 to 4 for a

1012
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,320
dog.
Is that right?

1013
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,120
No, you're like, no, no, Nope.
Just whatever.

1014
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,360
Whatever is in nature, whatever
is in that kind of meat, that's.

1015
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,280
Good.
And there's hardly any.

1016
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,200
In fact, it's a micronutrient
again in that at that level.

1017
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,120
So we're never going to recreate
that unless you're feeding them

1018
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:14,560
raw.
If they're getting raw, then

1019
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,480
they're getting, they're getting
it and because it's in the

1020
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,000
blood, right.
So that's back to the where I

1021
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,920
am, you know, it's, it's
transported through that system.

1022
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,240
And if it's in there, then it's
it's required because otherwise

1023
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,040
they would get rid of it.
And that's the problem.

1024
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,760
They're getting so much that
they can't get rid of it, and

1025
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,200
that's what's causing the other
problems.

1026
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,880
Our dogs are dying younger and
younger, and there's a reason

1027
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,640
behind that.
So well, I am thankful for you

1028
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:44,520
bringing this new product line
to market and bringing it into

1029
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:49,720
the US for us to enjoy some
really amazing products out of

1030
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:53,400
New Zealand.
I, I feel like all the best

1031
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,480
products pretty much come out of
New Zealand for what you just,

1032
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,600
you know, said at the beginning
of this, like your standards are

1033
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,280
so high.
The animals are being raised the

1034
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:07,520
way nature intended.
And you know, that's not we, we,

1035
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,760
you know, there, there are some
ranches doing things right here,

1036
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,720
but it's a still a pretty small
percentage of our foods, our

1037
00:53:15,720 --> 00:53:20,600
overall food supply in the US.
So it is much harder to find

1038
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,800
that kind of thing here.
So it is.

1039
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,560
Look, we're very fortunate.
We have very few people and huge

1040
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:32,040
lands, so and a climate that
allows us to do it, you know,

1041
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,880
and US isn't as fortunate as
that.

1042
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,480
It hasn't, you know, it's got a
much higher population.

1043
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,520
So I understand the
difficulties.

1044
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,120
But yeah, it is.
Yeah, we are very fortunate.

1045
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,720
And it's just, for me, it was
meant to be.

1046
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,440
I was meant to come here and do
this and yeah, so that's what

1047
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,040
I'm doing with people like you
that can help me get it out

1048
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:51,400
there.
So.

1049
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,560
Well, I very much appreciate it.
I appreciate you taking your

1050
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,160
time to come on and talk to all
of us about it.

1051
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:05,280
Guys, go check out Totonics,
TOTONIK s.com.

1052
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,920
That will be in the show notes.
So you can just click the link

1053
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,480
and go.
And yeah, I'm, I'm excited to

1054
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,640
hear you guys tell me like come
on Instagram, send me some DMS.

1055
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,200
Let me know once you try this,
what you're seeing in your dogs,

1056
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,400
what changes you're seeing
Because I think, like I said,

1057
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,200
even with Kimberly being a fresh
fed dog, there are still

1058
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,800
benefits to be had.
So with that, thank you again

1059
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,280
and Jeff for being here guys,
have a fabulous rest of your

1060
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,680
week.
Please give your pets some extra

1061
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,200
love from me and from Jeff.
Yes please.

1062
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,120
And I will talk to you next.
Fantastic, Jessica.

Founder & CEO

I’ve spent my life working with dogs, so I wanted to pay them back for their loyalty, dedication and companionship. First as a soldier, then as a British Police Dog Handler, and later with the New Zealand Police. Along the way, I learned one simple truth: dogs are far more capable than most people realise — and they’ll always teach you more than you can teach them.

That belief led me to create K9 Natural, a raw diet brand sold in over 19 countries, and later KURI, helping dogs and their owners unlock their full potential — from medical detection to biosecurity work.

But I always knew nutrition was the foundation. With Totoniks, we’ve gone one step further — using nature’s most complete nutrient source, blood, to fuel dogs sustainably. It’s about giving back to the dogs who give us everything — while protecting the planet at the same time.
