HEALTH.

WOW, have I learned an amazing amount about health these last two years as I struggled with my own issues.  Amazing how the body works, what toxins do to our systems, and what all things are toxic.  And we finally discovered what triggered my own health to suddenly turn bad.   Are you ready for it.  ANTIBIOTICS!  Yes, turns out antibiotics given as precautionary measure by the DDS for a broken tooth sent me into years of random issues and stuck in chronic flight or fight causing all kinds of autonomic nervous system failures.  All due the gut flora being completely turned upside down. This cuts off the gut brain axis.  And then everything goes crazy and I never sleep again.  I'm still on the road to getting it fixed now that I finally think I found a root cause doctor to work with.  But this journey has taught me alot about both human and animal health on a level I never knew there was before.  (I realize antibiotics don't always cause this, but I had been over 15 years of not taking any (along with lifetime of toxin exposure) at all to the DDS giving me 4 rounds of them in couple months time to prevent infection, LOL, which I got infection anyways after taking them and then there's more stronger antibiotics to come. and so it began)
I've learned so much and have applied some of it to some peoples pets and we've cured them of some horrible allergy issues.  Toxins and chemicals overstimulate the immune system and give your body inflammation  which in turn causes the body to react to certain things that most people have no issue with.  This in turn causes an overstimulation of immune system and give you a histamine reaction.  See the LINKS page under health to learn more and help your pet.
Maybe God has me going thru this to learn more about keeping our pets healthy as possible and to be able to share what I've learned with others.  

Health Testing our parent dogs.  

Why Health Testing Matters. Bringing home a new furry family member is a big decision — and one that should be backed by confidence in your puppy's long-term health. That’s why we are strong believers in thorough health testing.
We don’t just follow the minimum recommendations — we go above and beyond. Our goal is to prove that our dogs are not only beautiful and well-tempered, but also as healthy as possible, so they can bring joy to your family for many years to come.
Because let’s be honest — no one wants the heartbreak of chronic vet visits or the financial burden of ongoing health issues. That’s why health testing is non-negotiable for any responsible breeder.

What You Should Know. Each breed or variety has its own set of common health concerns. A responsible breeder should know these issues and actively test for them. Below you can see which test we do on our dogs based on their breed.  
​

Health Testing Is an Investment — And It’s Worth It. Full health testing can cost $600 to $1,200 per dog, not including annual tests like CERF. But we believe this is a small price to pay to ensure the quality and health of our breeding program. It’s also how we confidently offer a genetic health guarantee with every puppy.
If something genetic were to go wrong with your puppy, we will replace them or help cover vet costs. (Full details are available in our contract.).              I DO MY BEST, GOD DOES THE REST

Elbows
*Eyes by opthomologist every year!
*Patella (knees) (issue with all smaller dog breeds)

*Hips (displaysia is possible in all dogs, more so in larger breeds)
*Eyes by opthomologist every year!
*Patella (knees) (issue with all smaller dog breeds)
Cardiac (heart)

At Forever Poodles and Honor Havanese we have fed raw dog food and high quality foods to our dogs. We never use flea/tick prevention from the vets, and minimal vaccines to protect our dogs health.  So on top of health testing, we now have parent dogs who have minimal exposure to toxic things to pass along to their puppies.  Any toxins in the mother (and father to some degree), can get passed thru the placenta and milk into the offspring.  So we do our best to keep everything in our home and use air filters to keep toxins to a minimal and health in peak condition.  We have seen over the years the amazing effects this does.  Our puppies have less ear issues, less tear stains, and overall it shows on them. This also helps to prevent cancer as well.  

Keeping your healthy puppy healthy once your bring him/her home is now on you.  Feeding good quality food without corn, glutens, and other toxic things in it.  Limiting vaccines to minimal or none after first set.  Titer testing.  Don't give flea/tick preventions from the veterinarian.  (they are neurotoxic pesticides).  And watch what you spray on grass they walk on, clean with, air fresheners, cologne, EMF exposure, and so much more is toxic to them and us!  Our puppies come with pages of info to help you keep them in peak condition and they can live a much longer healthier life.
We have heard from some of our pet parent families of their pups living to over 21 years old due to the healthy lifestyle they lived by.  Yours can too.

Want to keep your pet healthy?
Then go to our LINKS page and view and read all the links under health on that page. You will learn about shots, food, insurance, poisons, and more.
The future starts now. Today is the first day of the rest of your life!
"I do my best and God does the rest."
