The Raw Dog Food Truth
Homeopathy for Dogs: Natural Remedies for Storm Anxiety and Beyond
Homeopathy expert Neely Piazza returns to share powerful natural solutions for your dog's health challenges. After establishing her new homesteading life and expanding her homeopathic practice, Neely reveals a remarkable success story—transforming her dog from trembling uncontrollably during thunderstorms to sleeping peacefully through severe weather using targeted homeopathic remedies.
We dive deep into how homeopathy works with your pet's natural healing mechanisms, using frequency matching to help bodies achieve homeostasis faster and with less trauma. Neely explains how different remedies address specific symptoms and how combining them created the perfect solution for severe thunderstorm anxiety—information you can apply to your own pet's care.
The conversation shifts to examine a recent article labeling raw feeders as "conspiracy theorists," revealing the desperate tactics of an industry watching its market share decline. We dissect the double standards in how raw food recalls are treated versus similar issues in processed pet foods, and how fear-mongering replaces scientific evidence when discussing species-appropriate diets.
Most telling is the stark contrast between raw-fed and kibble-fed pets' health outcomes. From dental problems to obesity, allergies to digestive issues—the evidence is in the animals themselves. As Neely puts it: "If raw feeding were genuinely harmful to pets, why would so many dedicated pet owners continue after seeing the incredible results?"

Oh snap.
Speaker 2:Well, hello Raw Feeders. I'm Deedee Mercer-Moffitt, ceo of Raw Dog Food and Company, where your pet's health is our business and we're friends like guess who? My friend Neely Piazza. What Well she doesn't let friends feed Kibble. Where have you been, my friend? I've missed you, everybody's missed you.
Speaker 1:Well, I've missed y'all too.
Speaker 2:You, you, everybody's missed you. Well, I've missed y'all too. You've moved, you got new dogs, you got more dogs. You like become a farmer, like fixing everything up, doing everything on your goat. Got some goats and you're doing your, and you're doing your. Uh, is it called gallic? What is it called? So I'm leading, what is it called?
Speaker 1:So I'm leading homeopathy courses. There's Gateway to Homeopathy 1 and 2, and then I'm also leading protocol courses, and there's are there's 10 of those give or take. There's some that are somewhat specific that I'm not doing, but, um, I'm, I'm doing almost all of them. So now have one running starting next week too the um, the pain course.
Speaker 2:So I'm gonna take it myself.
Speaker 1:I got a lot of pain. Anybody interested in that let me know. I have some information on the on my website about it, but we're going to start that next Wednesday. Wholeanimalwellnesscom.
Speaker 2:Now you guys can all find this in the show notes, uh, because, um, it'd be who's the, you know who's the guest speaker, and it says neely piazza. So to have her, all her stuff right there in the show notes, including her website. So make sure that you find that and go over and see her and get signed up. Get signed up on these homeopathic ways to help you and your pets, because I gotta tell you something, neil's pets, because I got to tell you something, niels. Ooh, doggies, I think that the whole well, let me say it this way, many, many, many, many, many of your new and partially used veterinarians. They live by diagnostics and diagnostic tools, and so you know what that does, niels. It takes the thinking totally out of it. So if the diagnostic tools can't find anything, well, by golly your dog must not have anything and it's like well, that's probably not really the case. So homeopathy would be great.
Speaker 2:You were just telling me about this new dog that you have and it was freaking out a little bit about the thunderstorms. Okay, a lot, let's go with that, that's a better. A lot about thunderstorms and all that jazz, and and what you do is that you're trying to find what remedy? What remedy fits the problem? What remedy, uh, creates a solution? And so what was the remedy that you found for this dog that was having this thunderstorm problem?
Speaker 1:yeah, so she, she's afraid of noises, she's afraid of thunderstorms, any kind of of thunderstorms, any kind of weather, anything like that. And I know that's a side effect of a rabies vaccine. And she was, you know, farm it up, just like you know your average dog would be when I got her. So none of my dogs that I've had since they were puppies have any of those issues. But anyway, I gave her phosphorus, which is good for fear of loud noises, and I gave her aconite, which is good for anxiety, trauma, things like that, and then I gave her the rabies vaccine, no-sode, and the combination of those three. She's sleeping now and it's like we're under severe thunderstorm flooding warning here. So the weather's terrible, but she's stopped trembling and she's gone to sleep. So that's a good indication that that that was inappropriate. At least one of those remedies was appropriate, right.
Speaker 2:Now let me ask you something about homeopathy. Would you say it's vibrational? Is it vibrational? Is's vibrational? What is it vibrational is it? And what is it you know when they? They talk about like lining up with your vibration, lining up with your you know what?
Speaker 1:what is it would you say well, the best way that I can describe it is it, it works. It works with frequency. I think I mean people will argue with you and say, or with me, or whatever, and say that you and weaknesses it's in its individual vital force, um, and it has its own frequency and whatever's going on within that body has its own frequency. And the body is always striving to get back to homeostasis and so, um, you want to. However, whatever strategy the body fixes, a healing mechanism, you want homeopathy can help that body achieve that end goal in a faster, less destructive, less traumatic way, right, um, less traumatic way, right? So you kind of match frequency to frequency to help, to help push that healing completely through. So, um, that's cool, that's why, that's why there is a huge similarity. You know, like, in some cases, particularly acute cases, you can, um, you can kind of generalize a remedy you know this for that kind of thing and oftentimes, um, that will work because bodies are very similar.
Speaker 1:However, they are also individual, so it doesn't always work that way in every single body, in which case you have to what you were just talking about vets don't do anymore. You have to, um, kind of tailor it, yeah, exactly, and and and try to figure out what that, what that particular body strategy is, and line your, your remedy schedule up more individually with that. But you know, you can start with the general, and particularly in acute you can. You almost always will see at least some sort of improvement, but it may not carry, carry everything to the end, in which case then you have to kind of narrow it down and get more, more specific. But when you get the right remedy or the right remedy combination, it's obvious. Just like this dog now that sound asleep, she was like drooling and panting and trembling and she was shaking so hard. The floor was shaking, it was crazy.
Speaker 2:So wow, yeah, so that is a great um way to get introduced is to get into neely's courses, and you know, what's great about working with neely is that she has a broad um knowledge, right you have. You have a great knowledge of um how dogs react I learned a lot.
Speaker 1:We're managing the the kennel for as long as I did and meeting all the different types of dogs and breeds of dogs and um situations that they're in and you know, uh, what typical patterns and behaviors and things like that are. Granted, those behaviors in that setting are a little bit different than they would be at home, but still I learned quite a bit, nice Well. Plus, I've always had dogs and my mom was a Corgi breeder, so you know I've always had dogs.
Speaker 2:Right, right, or so you know that's always always head dogs, right, right. You heard dr j6 um podcast the other day on the children's health defense network wasn't that awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 2:Y'all listen she's really getting out there. Um, it's called um finding out, uh, the the name of the show is.
Speaker 1:It's Catherine Austin Fitz one, not the Solari report, but the one she does for CHD. I can't remember the name of it either. Financial Corner, Finance Corner or something like that.
Speaker 2:Financial Rebellion, I think, is what it's called Something like that yeah, that's it, that's it. But you know she's getting that information out there about the rabies right and you and I. You know she's getting that information out there about the rabies right and you and I, you know we push for this all the time and we look at that. People still look at me like I'm crazy.
Speaker 1:Well, what we were just talking about, this new dog, I mean the fact that the rabies no-sode is actually what works the best. I tried just aconite and phosphorus and those two wouldn't do it, but when I added the listen in, that's what kicked her over. So that in my mind is pretty much proof positive that that's vaccine damage, rabies vaccine damage. You are a conspiracy theorist. I know awful, I'm spreading disinformation.
Speaker 2:they're gonna put me on the disinformation dozen you're already there along with me, but that's probably true, right? So I got a new article. We got a new article this week and it says just that neil's. It says conspiracy theorists are coming for your pet food. What a great line, because everybody that has pets are like what, who? And they don't know who's saying what. And really what this? Okay, you want to know what. The name of this paper is called Raw Doggin' it. Now, who named this? This is this article. It's called raw dog in it. Okay, and um it. And it says uh, you may not think raw food for cats and dogs could be harmful, but neil's new cases suggest that these brands and their evangelic evangelist that's us they'll be putting your pets at risk.
Speaker 1:Okay, now they're saying that about us for years I know ever since the the market share of kibble started going down, they they started saying that right.
Speaker 2:So now they're saying, oh, you know all these influencers, you know they're showing. They're showing their dogs dining on dried quail, blood sprinkles, rabbit heads. You know all of these different tracheas, goat lungs, beef eyeballs and we're like, yay, yes, absolutely, I wish.
Speaker 1:I could find some of those things Right.
Speaker 2:I wish I could find some of those things Right. But anyway, you know they're still calling this niche niche pet food. Now we would say the true pet food is what we would call it. But they're saying that you know, obviously this is getting a foothold. We've been pushing this damn ball up the hill forever, but when people see the results in their dogs, when they see how healthy their dogs are, you can't deny what works and what doesn't, right, um?
Speaker 1:well, they say the same thing about people food that you know that people pushing for healthy food are, that that's niche too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, okay, just tell me who you think wrote this. If you hear this statement in this piece that says while the market is not new, talking about the raw pet food market as Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Robert F is not new, talking about the raw pet food market, uh, as donald trump and elon musk and robertf kennedy jr decimate the fda and attempt to normalize a less regulated and more hazardous food system, can I say a bad word absolutely dom libtard wrote that I mean you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it wasn't like screaming that or anything. And so what do they have to do? They have to come in and make all of that bad because we are trying to clean up our food system, right, we have the worst food and our pet food is the same. And so what are they going to do? They going to say these are conspiracy theorists and what's going to happen is, any time that somebody is feeding raw and a dog gets ill for whatever reason because there's a million gazillion reasons that a dog might get ill they're going to push that on the raw dog food. And they're still riding this dead horse, beating a dead horse, I should say, saying that pathogens from the raw food are going to make people sick.
Speaker 2:Now, I've never heard of it, but you know, I only hear of it from the people that have fed raw for less than a week, and typically something like that. I hear all this bogus, bs and um. You can't change your mind. So you just have to say thank you for thanks for playing. Let me send you on to farmer's dog. So you know, go feed your dog. That cook stuff, right? Yeah, it's. It's maddening, though. It's maddening because, again, jules, jules, neils, it is my sister in law's text to me, and that's her name is jules. So I was looking at that.
Speaker 2:Um, that is, what the biggest problem is is fear on everything. Right, when did everyone run to do the thing that maybe they wish they hadn't have done a couple of years ago? Why did they do it? It was out of fear. It's very difficult to keep your feet still when you're afraid, and so that's what this, that's what this article is all about. You know, they said a carnivore diet isn't great for human health, despite what the liver king would have you believe. Now, neil's, are you still? Are you still doing the vegan thing? I haven't been doing that for a while. Okay, so you came back to the light.
Speaker 1:Sorry, never intended to do it forever, but you know those extreme either extreme for whatever reason, can be helpful for a short period of time. I needed a really hardcore.
Speaker 1:I don't know deep cleaning yeah, reset, for lack of a better way to say it and it was very helpful, but I never intended to do it forever. So you know, when I started craving meat products and animal products again, I just kind of slowly started adding them back in. So a lot of it has to do with um again, the whole individual body. You know they're similar but they're still individual. So somebody's do better um, more meat based, somebody's do better more plant based. Some, you know, and different stages in your life you know your diet's going to change a little bit as you, as you um move through different, different ages and you know that's going to be true, for for anything there's not one perfect 100, 100 of the people or dogs.
Speaker 1:that is always going to be right, Except I mean other than eat real food. But beyond that, you know, it's going to need to be tweaked per individual and per stage in life and per activity and things like that per stage in life and per activity and things like that.
Speaker 2:So Well, in this article they go on to say you know, in December of 2024, at least five cats in Oregon and Los Angeles died of bird flu after consuming packets of Northwest naturals and Monarch raw pet food. And I'm like, is that five total between oregon and los angeles? How many cats?
Speaker 1:I'm sure that there are way actually they finally admitted that that they. There's no real evidence that that's what any of them died from and do you do we need evidence?
Speaker 2:no, there there's no evidence required. No evidence required, it's just you just throw it out there.
Speaker 1:The bag of Northwest Naturals that they tested was three quarters gone and open. I mean, how is that conclusive? Not to mention the whole virus thing. But we won't even go there.
Speaker 2:But I mean, and then, and then they go on to say and another recall in february, after two cats died of the bird flu, found in wild coast their boneless free range chicken formula. And then in colorado, 11 cats came down with the flu after being exposed to raw poultry or pet food and 10 of those died. And I'm like, okay, can we see their medical records? Do we know? Where is the linkage? Where's the science?
Speaker 1:I know so many other factors. And look at the hypocrisy. So many other factors. And look at the hypocrisy. They're going to enforce a recall for things like that and everybody turns a blind eye to that other pharmaceutical that you mentioned a minute ago.
Speaker 2:I mean, come on, there's been millions of people dead and um injured and permanently injured and oh you mean from the, the shot, yes, and others and others, not just that shot, but not just that one, but all of them I mean we've been well.
Speaker 1:I've been saying that for ever and you've been saying it for quite a while too. I mean, none of them work, none of them are safe. None of them are proven safe, none of them are proven effective. They're tested against each other. They're not tested against placebo. I mean, the whole contagion thing has been disproven multiple times over and people argue with you about that and gloss over. What about polio? Well, go read dissolving illusions. Anybody that says what about polio?
Speaker 1:what about smallpox? I'm like okay. Well, that tells me right off the bat that you have not even looked into any of this. So get my information from cnn all right, come back after you've actually read the the real facts and and tell me what you think right now.
Speaker 2:Here's what they're trying to say in this issue, because it's always got to come back to the current administration, right? So it said the fda's chief veterinary officer. And that is so suspect to me because who, who started the whole flu thing, the COVID thing? You know what's the veterinary, you know kind of officer in there?
Speaker 1:The veterinary industry is the testing grounds for all the bioweapons. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2:Yes, anyway, they said that this FDA's chief veterinary officer, tristan Colonist whatever his name is had been leading an investigation into the recent bird flu outbreak among pets. Now let me just reiterate that there were five pets here and 11 pets over here that have no causation or correlation or investigation. Okay, let me just say it like that. And yet when big pet food has thousands of pets, we don't do a darn thing about it.
Speaker 1:Okay, how long it took them to do a recall with that vitamin D toxicity with Hills.
Speaker 2:Well, they were just saying they were like months, months Can we get away with this, can we not?
Speaker 1:and I mean, there was a whole bunch of deaths and illnesses and organ failures due to that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they knew what it was for months before they did anything about it if you have not heard I don't know if I sent you this, neils, but if you haven't heard the interview that Tucker Carlson did with Dr Shong, I believe, but the title of his show is They've Been Lying to you About Cancer and how to Stop it for a Long Time or how to Get it. Anyway, you have to listen to that interview before the end of the podcast. I'll go get the actual name, but yeah, it's a great one, because this guy has all these research facilities and he's worth billions and billions and billions. He doesn't need any more money.
Speaker 1:Was that the Japanese guy? Yes, I did see that one that was amazing. I did see that one that was amazing.
Speaker 2:I did see that one that was amazing. I did see that one that was amazing.
Speaker 1:And I remember that because he is independently wealthy and funding things himself. Oh, he's worth billions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did see that On April 1st, the Trump administration fired this FDA chief veterinary officer and they also fired the vast majority of the Center for Veterinary Medicine's leadership team. So they fired about right 130 of its employees and about 10,000 other health and human services workers. Why? Because Stop, yeah, they're really kind of not doing the job, so let's get rid of people that can't do their job right. So, anyway, they're trying to say you know, there's so few controlled studies that actually verify that raw diets are good.
Speaker 1:I wonder, why that is.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, and many, many studies pointing out all of the hazards associated with the raw products.
Speaker 1:None of them do, though. I mean they write it, but if you read the study, none of it legitimately leads to that conclusion.
Speaker 2:No, and here's what they say. Health authorities warn neil's that consumers should not kiss their raw fed pets or lick. Let their pets lick them.
Speaker 1:I should be dead 10 times over in reality, you shouldn't let a kebbel fed dog lick you, because the enzymes in a dog's mouth are totally geared towards starting digestion of real food and the bacteria that are in actual real food that you want to be there, by the way. But all that starch and sugar and simple carbohydrate stuff that is in kibble, they can't break it down and so you have like a Petri dish in there with kibble-fed dogs. So a raw dog can kiss me all it wants, but kibble dogs need to need to keep their distance, can't deal with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a, it's just. It's just, um, we are making progress. Um, if people want to feed kibble, they certainly um are the majority, right, they are the majority Right, they're certainly the majority, so go ahead. But we're just saying we see fat dogs, we see dogs with skin problems, you see lipomas, you see gut problems, poop problems, teeth problems, eye problems, allergy problems. Yeah, I mean, you just see all these issues. So why would why? I mean, you know, why would we want to sell a product that was hurting animals or hurting our own animals? We wouldn't want to do that and we wouldn't. But but again, all you have to do is throw out some stupid, you know um piece where people are like see, this is the reason, this is the reason I don't feed raw. No, you don't feed raw because you don't either want to or you aren't educated enough about it to feel confident feeding it. Or you've tried it once and your dog threw up and then you were like ah see, you can't feed raw.
Speaker 1:Yeah, or had diarrhea. It's like, well, yeah, he's getting rid of all that toxic crap you've been feeding.
Speaker 2:Right. So anyway, toxic crap you've been feeding, right? So anyway, this is, uh, it was just. It was very funny because, as you know, I mean, there's a lot from when we started 25 years ago. My God right, there's tons of information and I do think that RFK juniors drive to clean up our food will help people see how toxic you know big pet food is.
Speaker 2:Again, um, yeah, I mean, are they going to really clean it up? No, it may expose it. And then you have to say, do I want to feed that to my dog or not? Right, that's really. That's really the thing and we don't really care. I think where we care, folks, is that we've been hit so many times with nonsense, with lies, with lack of science, with lack of research, with kind of a um, you know, a trial. If you never do any kind of um comparisons, right, let's don't compare kibble fed dogs to to rob. Let's don't compare those guys, because we know who the winner is going to come out to be brady's book Feeding Dogs that I gave you he has a huge amount of citations that go.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's one of the only books that I've seen. That actually. I mean, he's pulled together a lot of actual literature, which you know, since about about 90 of it is, uh, you know, 90 of peer-reviewed articles are not really accurate, but that's what some people want, so he gives it to you. So if you want to see studies, go go look at his book.
Speaker 2:He has them in there so I on this person that wrote this letter of this article for the nation. I clicked on who this per emmett frazier. Uh, emmett frazier is a writer and a fact checker living in brooklyn oh well, that tells you everything you need to know.
Speaker 1:No new york.
Speaker 2:Come on now, right, and what's funny is he's only got like five articles, but from those five articles you could tell, kind of, why he wrote this article, um, and so it's.
Speaker 1:It's quite interesting, right it is, it is it was pretty comical to read, because just just the wording and the way that he is, he's structured his sentences and the things that, the way he said things it was. I mean it was so obvious that he was just making stuff up.
Speaker 2:Look, here's the thing If, if the studies proved out that it was not a good thing for your dog, who would be feeding? We want to be. People love their pets. Everybody loves their pets, come on, well, most people do. I mean, you know, this is why people will pay so much money when they go to a vet for these diagnostics that probably don't even freaking work, right, right. So, uh, because you're afraid you love your pet. If you've ever made a mistake in the past, or maybe you made a decision that wasn't great and for health in your family or your pets, then, um, you were kind of at that mercy and you're you're saying I'm just going to do everything because I don't want to go through that regret again. So it's a perfect. It's a perfect deal of soup. You know pot soup, pot, pot of soup. You know pot. A sphincter soup is what I'm gonna call. It needles just a pot of sphincter soup. Um, I'm so glad to have you back on the podcast and you're gonna be a regular again. That's so awesome.
Speaker 2:Your microphone sometimes goes in and out, in and out. It's okay. Hey, listen also, guys. We're on Rumble. We are on Rumble. We have a big page over there. We are on Facebook Raw Dog Food and Company, so you can see us as well as hear us, if you so choose. Right? I love podcasts. I really do. I listen to a lot of podcasts. I listen to a lot of podcasts just about you know how to think better so I can live better, because my stinking thinking or stinking thinking for anybody doesn't really work, so I don't know. What do you like to listen to?
Speaker 1:I've been watching homesteading podcasts.
Speaker 2:You and Dr Jacek homesteaders.
Speaker 1:That's the. I mean currently, that's the new thing. I mean currently, that's the new thing. And Tucker has some good shows. I watch some of his. And Sean Ryan has some good ones. I watch some of his.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, I just think I was listening to somebody the other day and they said here's how you can not argue with people. And he's like you know, we all have our own perspective, right, and, and we all have our own point of view, but not everybody, nobody else, is looking at the same point of view that you are, because they're their own person, they have a different point of view, and so it's just. It's really interesting because a lot of times, you know, throughout my career in the raw dog food industry, you know I've been a little bit dogmatic, not to play on words, but I have been because I'm passionate about it. But the truth is that people do get afraid, that they get convinced by these type of articles. They do want the best for their pets and they do have to go to a vet, right? I'm not going to say putting toxins in your dogs is a good thing.
Speaker 2:Oh, I heard somebody the other day tell me that and we've heard this before. But they basically said look, dogs have evolved to not eat animals, they've evolved to eat. And I said processed foods and they were like, yeah, they've evolved to eat. And I said processed foods and they were like yeah, they've evolved.
Speaker 2:I said no, no, no how that takes millions of years and even then they had they if they have to eat something to survive. But I was just like I don't know where that comes from.
Speaker 1:They're just very adaptable and they can. Some of them can survive on precious little. But yeah, that whole digestive system has been domesticated and is not the same.
Speaker 2:How do you domesticate a digestive system?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:That's a good question, though I'm going to say that next time how do you domesticate a digestive system? I get the behavior part, but can you walk me through the domestication of the digestive system so that I can understand that, cause I do want to be have a better perspective.
