Dog behaviour and diet

Dog behaviour is both controversial and very topical, provoking considerable emotive  responses.

At Land Of Holistic Pets, the interaction of diet and dog behaviour is, we feel, very important.

The health of the organs and behaviour

Anyone who has knowledge of acupuncture will be only too familiar with how imbalance of the bodies main organs will influence behaviour.  The kidneys for example will create fearful or timid behaviour if not in tip top health. The liver will create aggressive behaviour.  Over joyful  behaviour can result from imbalance of the heart.  The influence of a good holistic diet  places great influence of the health of the major organs and as such is reflected in behaviour.
