Deanna Larocque91裸聊视频檚 approach to pet nutrition and caring for dogs has earned her a spot in a national publication.
Based in Sicamous, Larocque is a certified clinical pet nutritionist and owner of Mountain K9 Acres. Her focus is providing support for owners of dogs that may be suffering from health issues.
She is an advocate of raw diets tailored to the needs of individual dogs.

Over the past year-and-a-half, through word of mouth alone, Larocque has provided support for clients throughout the Shuswap, as well as in Vernon and Revelstoke, and in Alberta and the U.S.
Word of mouth also brought Larocque to the attention of Pet Connection: Canada91裸聊视频檚 Natural Health Magazine for Pets. The August 2020 edition of the magazine will include an article by her on liver cleansing for dogs.
91裸聊视频淓verything goes through your liver, all of the chemicals and everything that91裸聊视频檚 in the environment and even in our household91裸聊视频�,91裸聊视频� said Larocque.

Larocque said she pursued a pet nutritionist certification after an experience with Wyatt, one of her three dogs, when he was a puppy.
91裸聊视频淗e was really sick and I went to the vet and did testing and spent tons of money and then I decided to go back to the basics,91裸聊视频� said Larocque, who began feeding Wyatt all natural foods. Over time, Wyatt91裸聊视频檚 issues resolved on their own.
Larocque said dogs are coming down with a lot of ailments that humans do, from allergies to acid reflux, and believes diets are at the root of their problems. In treating dogs, she will develop a natural food diet based on what is ailing them.

Larocque said raw diets for dogs can be controversial among veterinarians. Part of this, she explained, is due to concern dogs won91裸聊视频檛 receive a balanced diet, that people will just put a chunk of meat in a dog91裸聊视频檚 food dish. However, she maintains a balanced raw diet is preferable to a reliance on kibble. And she said her clients have been impressed, if not surprised, by the results of transitioning their pets to raw.
