1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,919
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of the Chicks on the Right podcast.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,519
We are delighted to have with us friend and sponsor

3
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:09,720
of the show, naturopathic doctor Dennis Black, who's the founder

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,359
of rough Greens, one of our absolute favorite products, and

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,920
now he is the author of a brand new book

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,199
called A Natural Path to Pet Health, and just that

7
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:22,879
title alone made us want to get a copy. So

8
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:25,920
what kinds of things if you could just preview it

9
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:28,280
a little bit for us, what kinds of things can

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,679
people expect to learn from this book?

11
00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:35,759
Speaker 2: Well, the reason that we even created rough Greens to

12
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:38,880
begin with was because of all of our human patients

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,520
that we had got so much better with the nutritional

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,119
products that we created. They asked us, hey, can you

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,799
do anything for my dog because my dog's are getting sick.

16
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,520
So it didn't take a rocket scientist to look at

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,719
dog food and realize why dogs are getting sick. The

18
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:56,759
reality is that most people who have dogs that are sick,

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,439
they think they're having medical issues, when in reality, they're

20
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:05,079
having nutritional deficiencies. And so you are what you eat.

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,719
That's what your grandmother taught you. And the reality is

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,640
that dog food is dead food. I mean, it's just

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,079
there's nothing alive in it, and dogs need live probiotics

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,760
and enzymes and vitamins, mega oils, antioxid it's just like

25
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:22,400
we do. So that's why we decided to create rough

26
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:24,400
Greens was so that you could just add it to

27
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:27,079
your dog's food. It's a supplement that you just sprinkle

28
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:29,280
on the dog's food. Dogs love the taste of it.

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,560
We made sure of that. Yes, yes, and they'll lick

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,000
the ball all the way clean across the kitchen floor.

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,760
And then what happens is all these medical issues now

32
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:43,959
just begin to disappear. So that's why we created it.

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,359
But we still have tons of questions that come in

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,400
all the time on our podcast and over the phone,

35
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,040
people asking us all kinds of course, how do I

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,040
get my dog off this medication? What should I be

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,840
doing here? How do I make my own dog food?

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,640
All those kinds of things. So that's why I took

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,280
all the tips and tricks and all the things that

40
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,479
we've garnered over the years, and I just put them

41
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:12,120
all in this one book. So that's why we created

42
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:12,560
the book.

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,479
Speaker 3: There's recipes in the book.

44
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:17,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, over thirty five recipes. I mean, think about this

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,479
for just a minute. How would you like it if

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,159
you had to eat the exact same thing every day

47
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:27,000
for the rest of your life. And people buy a

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,159
fifty pound bag of dog food and think the dog's

49
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,879
going to be excited about that, and there's no change.

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,039
The first meal and the last meal exactly the same.

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,000
I would die of boredom if that were me. So

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,240
what we do is we make We have three big

53
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,360
dogs there. We have lived on a farm and so

54
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,599
we have big We have Great Pyrenees, a German Shepherd

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,719
at a Great Pyrenees mix. Yeah, but they all are

56
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,319
working dogs. They all get out there and protect the

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,479
property and the livestock and all of that. What we

58
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:00,719
do is we make the dog food and I'll take

59
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:03,879
one of these recipes and these are recipes from my kitchen,

60
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,400
and we'll as a family, we'll make a big tub

61
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,800
of dog food and then we put it in ziplock

62
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,039
bags and freeze it. And then next week we make

63
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,840
a completely different formula that's something else, and then we

64
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:19,919
make that and we put it in and we mix

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,400
them all up, so every day the dog gets a

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,759
different meal than something they had yesterday. They might have

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,560
had it three days ago. But I mean, I'm happy

68
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:32,599
to eat. I don't know if you know what Poppado's

69
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,840
seafood restaurant is. Totally have them here in Dallas happy

70
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,639
to eat at Poppy Doo's at least once or twice

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,840
a week because I kind of it's just my favorite restaurant.

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,919
Speaker 3: So they're getting the chef special eye.

73
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:47,199
Speaker 2: They're getting the chef special. And then every once in

74
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,759
a while, we just make something really unique and special

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,479
in the in the fall of the year. Sometimes we

76
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:57,560
make some turkey dishes we make sometimes we make some

77
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:01,680
fish dishes. So we just mix it up and our

78
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,879
dogs love it. I mean, when when we get ready

79
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:06,800
to feed our dog, you can just like they're salivating.

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,360
They're just like, yes, let me add it. So they're

81
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,680
big dogs. We feed it a lot.

82
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you there's also tips about how to save money,

83
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:18,639
which I'm on food, and I'm assuming some of these

84
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:20,399
recipes contribute to that because.

85
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: All of them actually all the reality is. The reality is, Look,

86
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,839
if you're the kind of person that has your dog

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,360
chained up to a doghouse in the backyard, we're not

88
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,040
your product and we're we're not your your company. But

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,360
if you treat your dog like family, and you want

90
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:41,199
that dog to live as long as possible, then you

91
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:44,279
got to stop feeding them the kibble and you've got

92
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,040
to start making their dog food. It's simple, it's easy,

93
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:52,399
and it's cheaper. There are some dog foods out there.

94
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,480
For a dog the size of one of my dogs,

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,639
which is over fifty pounds, it's eight hundred dollars a

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,279
month if you buy that prepackaged supposedly some kind of

97
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,639
dog food made by a farmer. And the reality is

98
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,120
a lot of that stuff is is not that great

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,439
for your dog because they use synthetic vitamins and all

100
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,839
that stuff in it. So the better option is to

101
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,319
make your dog food yourself. It's really simple to do,

102
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:25,279
really easy. It's fun to do. My wife and kids

103
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,319
and I we make it. We get our hands in

104
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,319
there and mush it all up, and you know, we

105
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,600
have we have our own chicken, so we add egg

106
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,639
and you know all that stuff, and we have really

107
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,120
healthy dogs. Our dogs only go to the vet once

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,439
a year for the annual checkup. That's it.

109
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,759
Speaker 4: And so you like you live on like a ranch type,

110
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:46,959
because I live in I'm rural too, so I get it.

111
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like you.

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: But for people who live in the suburbs or who

113
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,600
live in the city.

114
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:54,319
Speaker 3: Is this book also applicable to those people?

115
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: Do you think? Yeah? Absolutely? So it doesn't matter. Think

116
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,959
about that pre packaged dog food that you can buy

117
00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:06,480
from a farmer, right, if you just make that yourself

118
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:08,279
and we show you how to do it with the

119
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,160
right ingredients. By the way, the misconception is that we

120
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,480
live rural. We live in the city. We have a

121
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,079
farm inside the city. Okay, so we're like four miles

122
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,639
from the nearest mall. Yeah, so I.

123
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,079
Speaker 3: Bet your wife had something to do with that.

124
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,199
Speaker 2: She did, You were right. She said, I'll live on

125
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,079
a farm if you bring it to the city. So

126
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,279
I said, okay, that's right, let's do it. So, but yeah,

127
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,360
it doesn't matter where you're live in. It doesn't matter

128
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:39,639
what size your dog is. You can if you have

129
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:43,279
a little tiny dog that'll fit in your pocket, you

130
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:45,439
could still make dog food for that dog, and you

131
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:48,199
make it maybe once every two weeks, and you make

132
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,160
it in a little bowl enough to last. It doesn't matter.

133
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:54,600
We all love our dogs. It doesn't matter the size

134
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:56,800
of them. We want them to live as long as

135
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,959
possible and as healthy as possible. Those are the things.

136
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what are since you started rough greens, which

137
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,600
I know that's been a hot minute. But tell us

138
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,240
about maybe if you can. I'm sure there are many,

139
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,000
But tell us about like a real success story, So

140
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:16,959
a dog maybe that was suffering and that had a

141
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,879
huge turnaround.

142
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,879
Speaker 2: So there's a woman who is a relatively famous woman.

143
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,560
If I told you her name, you would know her. Okay,

144
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:29,839
let's put it that way. I don't have her permission

145
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:33,720
to use her name because I haven't. I haven't asked her.

146
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,759
I'm sure she would say yes. I met her about

147
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,920
three and a half months ago and she told me

148
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,120
about her dog, whose name is mister Whiskey. And mister

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Whiskey is about a ten pound dog. Uh, but he

150
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,879
was his skin, his hair had fallen out, his skin

151
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:55,800
had big sores on it. Her vet lives two doors down,

152
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:58,920
so the vet sees the dog all the time, and

153
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:01,560
they put that dog on every kind of medication that

154
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,480
you can imagine. Dog's only eight years old. I mean,

155
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:06,120
how do you and you know it should be a

156
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,199
twenty year old dog, right, should live to be twenty

157
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:14,279
because it's a small dog. And the vet said, we've

158
00:08:14,279 --> 00:08:18,519
tried everything I'm gonna recommend that we put mister whiskey

159
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,040
to sleep. Oh, because he was. He was so miserable.

160
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,000
And not only was he miserable, but the whole family

161
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:29,680
was miserable. She has four kids, and everybody was miserable

162
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,279
because he's scratching all the time. He's scratching because his

163
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,240
gut is in horrible shape. So whatever the quality of

164
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:41,799
your skin is tells you what the quality of your

165
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,399
gut is. If you have bad skin issues and sores

166
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,240
and whatever, it means your guts out of balance. That's

167
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,960
what that means. And that means the same thing in dogs.

168
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:55,080
So at any rate, I met her and I said, Okay,

169
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,720
here's the deal. If you give me ninety days, I'll

170
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:01,039
get mister whiskey better. If you give me one hundred

171
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:04,879
and eighty days, i'll fix mister whiskey. She looked at

172
00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:08,279
me with that skeptical look, right, and I've seen that

173
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,120
look from women before, so so at any rate, she said,

174
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:18,159
all right, well, i'll give it a shot, but I don't.

175
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:21,039
She said, we'll keep him alive for another ninety days.

176
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,440
If you think it'll make a difference, I said, I

177
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,519
guarantee it'll make a difference. It's now been ninety days.

178
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:30,360
I had a conversation with her last week in tears.

179
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:36,679
She's crying. Whiskey's hair's growing back. He's scratching about ten

180
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,240
percent of what he used to scratch, and his skin

181
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,200
is healed and the hair's growing back. Kids are playing

182
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,039
with him again. Everything's completely turned around. I told her

183
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,039
by New Year's Day, he'll be one hundred percent. And

184
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:55,720
it's she's a believer. Let's put it that way. She's

185
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,120
a believer.

186
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: But for those too, I have a stray, Like we

187
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,240
have two rescue dogs, and one of them came to

188
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,720
us and he was a hot mess.

189
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:04,879
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean.

190
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,279
Speaker 4: I attribute a lot of his health and well being

191
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,919
to rough greens.

192
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,039
Speaker 3: So it makes a big difference.

193
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: And you can add about you can add about twenty

194
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:23,320
five sometimes more percent to a dog's life. Now, let

195
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,159
me just give you another quick example, real quick. Glenn Beck.

196
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,200
We all know Glenn Beck, and Glenn Beck had a

197
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,600
dog whose name was Uno and he Una was a

198
00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:37,519
German shepherd. Una wouldn't eat. Glenn had to spoon feed

199
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,159
the dog, and if the dog, if he moved too

200
00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:42,080
fast or whatever, the dog would just stop eating. It

201
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,519
wouldn't eat again till tomorrow, and so we got him

202
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,879
started years and years and years ago on Rough Greens.

203
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,799
Dog that then became the spokesperson for the Lick Your

204
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:59,919
Bowl Clean club and German shepherds typically lived seven to

205
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,919
eight years because of all the problems that they have. Yeah,

206
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:10,120
Uno passed away this last summer, thirteen years old. I'm

207
00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:13,240
thirteen years old, and that never happens with German shepherd.

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 3: That's amazing right now.

209
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: So that's a tribute to how Rough Greens solving your

210
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,600
nutritional problems can add years to your dog's life. And

211
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:26,039
we see it, by the way, we see it a

212
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,799
thousand times a year. We hear stories like that from people,

213
00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:29,679
I'm sure.

214
00:11:29,879 --> 00:11:32,639
Speaker 1: So tell us tell everybody in our audience how they

215
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,039
can get a free Jumpstart trial bag and how they

216
