Peer-reviewed study shows dogs given probiotics with the species Lactobacillus Rhamnosus early in life can have long-lasting protective effects against allergies, even years later & even after stopping them. Puppies given probiotics grew up to have milder skin (including ears) and allergy reactions, showing probiotics could offer long-term protection.

Poland’s parliament has officially voted to end the long-criticized practice of keeping dogs chained, marking a significant step toward improving animal welfare nationwide. Lawmakers say the decision reflects a growing awareness of how pets are treated, especially in rural regions where chaining has been a common practice for generations.

Supporters believe the ban will shield dogs from neglect, severe weather, and the physical damage that prolonged restraint can cause. They hope the new law will encourage owners to use safer enclosures, proper fencing, and more humane living arrangements.

Critics point out that enforcing the law could be difficult, particularly in remote areas where routine inspections are limited. Others say many owners will need time and financial help to move from chains to adequate kennels or fenced yards.

Even with these challenges, animal-rights advocates are celebrating the decision as a meaningful step forward. They see it as a win for compassion and a reflection of shifting attitudes about responsible animal care.

But I’ve created an easy way to tell their real age in human years. Without fancy algebra…or a look at your music playlist 🎵

Just head below to the comments for the answer…
