PART 1.0 Fatty Tumors - What, How, When and Why

1.1 What is a Fatty Tumor and How Is It Formed…

A fatty tumor is a soft mass under the skin.

Fatty Tumors form when the body is unable to rid itself of toxins via the body’s natural systems for toxin elimination – the intestines, kidney and liver.  When a dog is constantly ingesting toxins the kidney and liver are forced to work overtime to clear out unwanted substances from the body. If the toxic load becomes too much for the kidney and liver to process affectively the toxins end-up remaining where they are not wanted -  in the blood stream, digestive tract, etc. The constant presence of contaminates in the body puts added stress on the endocrine (glands which secret various hormones to regulate metabolism, sleep, mood, etc.) and immune system in addition to the kidney and liver.

The body’s natural reaction – the next line of defence is to engage its largest excretory organ, the skin. The body ‘captures’ the toxins and shifts them out of the way by storing the material in fat deposits just under the surface of the skin.

1.2 Characteristics of a Fatty Tumor (Lipoma, Fatty Lump)

A soft mass under the skin that:

• Does not cause *hair loss;
• Does not cause *pain;
• Does not cause *redness or *irritation of the skin on its own 
• Is freely movable under the skin;
• *The only time hair loss, pain or irritation occurs with these masses is, for example:
• When the mass is located on the body of the dog, and;
• The mass has increased in size, and;
• As a result, is rubbing against the dog’s leg;
• The mass may then cause hair loss or irritation as it rubs against the dog’s leg.

1.3 Fatty Deposits Are a Warning Sign

Fatty deposits are a warning sign – a red flag that tells you that:

• That the body is under siege from constant ingestion of toxic, unwanted material;
• The body’s system is out of balance and is not able to eliminate the toxic waste properly;
• That the  immune system is weak and requires care to improve its strength;
• Diet, stress and exercise are huge factors in the health of the immune system;
• A weak immune system leaves the body vulnerable to illness, infection and health problems..

1.4 How do These Unwanted Materials (Toxins) Get into the
      Dog’s System

There are several typical ways in which toxins enter the dog’s body…ingested, inhaled and absorbed through surface contact...

• Ingredients in commercially manufactured highly processed dog food - dry dog food, wet dog food, treats – for example;
• Refined cereal grains;
• Food colouring;
• Chemical-based preservatives i.e. ethoxyquinand TBHQ ;
• Sugar;
• Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) found in corn, soy, canola, safflower, cottonseed oil, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, sugar beets, etc.
• Poor quality protein (dairy, eggs, meat and derivatives) derived from animals that were:
• Raised on Factory Farms also known as concentrated animal feeding operations – CAFO (or other smaller farming operations that follow the CAFO methods);
• Where animals are:
•  Forced to consume GMO corn; 
• GMO corn is high in pesticide residue;
• This toxic pesticide residue enters your dogs body when your dog consumes the meat of animals fed GMO corn;
•  Food is laced with and/or animals are injected with antibiotics, steroids (growth hormones);
• You can read more about the above items here.
• Toxins from inoculations,
•  And chemical-based flea, tick, worm and heartworm preventatives;
• There are many alternatives that can be used instead of the chemical-based treatments  for deworming, and for dealing with ticks, fleas and mosquitoes - including herbal and homeopathic spot-on and collar drops, sprays, rubs and rinses, supplements and foods.

Other Contributing Sources of Daily Toxic Loading

• Health care supplies and household items such as:
• Dog Dental chews;
• Dog Toothpaste;
• Dog Shampoo;
• Household cleaners;
• Fluorinated water, water high in hard metal content;
• Pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, on grass, road salt, etc. that is then absorbed through the skin of the paws, ingested by licking fur and paws;
