The Stories Your Dog’s Fur Can Tell

You've already been to the vet - a number of times. Your dog is suffering from health problems or allergies, but no one can figure out exactly why or find a remedy for the situation. It may be its diet, but how do you know what is specifically wrong with the nutrition and what the animal really needs? My guest today is Christine Huebner, president of Hairs To Health, Inc., and she has surprising answers that come from the tool of using hair mineral analysis - a scientific method that "reads" what is in the hair or fur . This can point the way to diet and supplement suggestions that can balance the nutritional requirements of the particular animal and can offer improvement in many health issues.

Christine Huebner Christine Huebner was born in Indiana and grew up on a family farm and has always had a deep love of animals. She attended Purdue University and obtained a degree as an Animal Technician. She worked in this field a short time before traveling overseas for many years for her husband’s job. Several years ago she was certified in hair mineral analysis and became CEO of Hairs to Health, Inc. Since that time Christine has been working with dogs as well as people, from across the United States assisting in mineral balancing science. For the past year and a half, Christine has been working with the Bedlington Terrier Association and their health and wellness president, Pam Dickerson. Their study has correlated hair mineral levels with blood work and liver biopsies to determine if the cause of excess copper accumulation in the liver of several Bedlington Terrier dogs could be due to a nutritional imbalance.
