A Natural Path to Pet Health: Dr. Dennis Black’s Blueprint (and Why We Use RuffGreens®)
Intro
If you want your dog or cat to live longer, feel better, and thrive on real food—not marketing hype—Dr. Dennis Black’s new book, A Natural Path to Pet Health, is a gift. In it, the founder of RuffGreens® lays out a no-nonsense, low-cost plan any family can follow: what to feed, what to avoid, how to spot dehydration early, daily routines that extend quality of life, and when it’s time to call the vet. Below are the biggest takeaways from our conversation—and how a real-food topper like RuffGreens® VitaSmart can help support skin, digestion, and energy.
Who Is Dr. Dennis Black?
A veteran of natural health and the creator behind RuffGreens®, Dr. Black has spent decades helping people and pets build durable wellness habits: clean inputs, smart routines, and targeted supplementation. His mission is simple—make pet health practical, affordable, and natural.
The #1 Pet-Health Myth
Myth: “If the bag says ‘complete & balanced,’ I’m done.”
Even with AAFCO standards, highly processed foods can be calorie-dense but nutrient-light after high-heat processing. Dr. Black’s guidance: feed real food, upgrade with living nutrients, and watch your pet—not the package—for results (coat, stools, energy, weight).
“Read the Bowl, Not the Label”: Red Flags to Avoid
When you do read labels, scan for these three instant dealbreakers:
Chemical preservatives & dyes (e.g., BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, artificial colors)
Vague proteins (“meat meal,” “animal digest”) instead of named sources (chicken, salmon)
Added sugars & heavy fillers (corn syrup, sugar, wheat/corn as the first ingredients)
One ‘gotcha’ word: “Digest.” It often means ultra-processed flavoring from unspecified sources.
Why We Like RuffGreens® (and What It Does)
RuffGreens® VitaSmart is a real-food topper designed to add back living nutrition lost to high-heat processing:
Live probiotics & digestive enzymes to support gut health and nutrient absorption
Omega fatty acids to support skin/coat and normal inflammatory response
Vitamins, minerals & phytonutrients from a variety of whole-food ingredients
Easy compliance for picky eaters—sprinkle over current food
Plain-English benefit: You don’t have to overhaul your pet’s diet overnight. Keep the base food you trust and upgrade it with living nutrients.
(Always follow label directions and your veterinarian’s advice.)
Weight Management for Food-Motivated Dogs
Ditch free-feeding. Pre-measure meals.
Add warm water or low-sodium bone broth (no onion/garlic) to increase food volume and hydration.
Move daily: 30–60 minutes of age-appropriate activity (walks, fetch, nose work).
Use a real-food topper (like RuffGreens®) for micronutrients without overfeeding treats.
Budget-Friendly, Vet-Aware Starter Recipe
Always balance home-prepped meals with a complete vitamin/mineral source per your vet’s guidance.
Simple Turkey & Veggie Bowl (Dogs)
1 cup cooked lean ground turkey, drained
½ cup cooked brown rice
¼ cup steamed carrots, chopped
¼ cup steamed green beans, chopped
1 tsp fish/sardine oil (EPA/DHA)
Add a complete canine multivitamin/mineral topper (e.g., RuffGreens® per weight)
Never add: onions, garlic, grapes/raisins, xylitol, chocolate, alcohol, macadamias, excess salt.
Hydration: The Hidden Lifesaver
Early signs of low hydration: tacky/dry gums, dark urine, low skin elasticity, lethargy, constipation, panting at rest.
One easy hack (today): Float kibble in warm water or no-onion/garlic bone broth. Consider a pet water fountain for cats/small dogs.
Daily “Longevity” Habits That Stack the Odds
Movement: 30–60 minutes/day adjusted to age & breed
Teeth: daily brushing or dental chew; schedule cleanings
Grooming & ear checks: reduce skin/ear issues early
Sun + sniff time: enrich the brain, reduce stress
Sleep window: consistent bedtime/wake time for hormone balance
On a tight budget? If you can only choose one add-on, Dr. Black says a complete, real-food nutrient topper offers the best per-dollar impact.
When to DIY vs. Call the Vet (Don’t Wait)
See a professional now if you notice: repeated vomiting/diarrhea >24 hours (or blood), bloated/tense abdomen with unproductive retching, pale/blue gums, trouble breathing, seizures, collapse/weakness, heat stroke signs, or inability to urinate/defecate.
Keep on file at home: recent weight, vaccine dates, meds/allergies, heartworm/fecal tests, and baseline labs (CBC/chem/urinalysis, especially age 7+).
The Bottom Line
You don’t need a PhD—or boutique prices—to build real pet health. Feed cleaner, hydrate better, move daily, mind the teeth and skin, and upgrade with living nutrients. That’s the heart of A Natural Path to Pet Health—and why a simple topper like RuffGreens® can be a smart, practical tool in your kit.
