HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGIE GIRL 🥳🍕🎂 17 TODAY!!
What a year it’s been….a real roller coaster ride.
12 months ago the Vet gave me the ‘ talk ‘ of she’s old and and and …it might be time…and and and ….and we said thanks but no thanks and this little legend just kept on keeping on.
It’s tough having a really old dog…there’s good days …bad days…really bad days and in between days and just when I think she’s had enough she comes bouncing back again and again and again !
She is so finicky with food and as skinny as a whippet but she will eat some days and not others so I just go with the flow .
She still comes for a little walk morning and night and yesterday she even walked up the hill and had a little frolic and a game 😊
We are having a party on Saturday with a Blueberry Muffin Cake ( her favourite) and will take more photos then.
I love adore and cherish this cheeky strong determined little girl so very much.
Every day is a gift and a blessing.
Happy Birthday little girl …we love you you soooooooo much and are so grateful you are still here with us ❤️❤️❤️

Green bananas🍌 can prevent and reduce cancers by over 60%, according to the American Association of Cancer Research, so maybe stop hunting for those yellow bananas in the supermarket!

You can boost your dog’s immune and gut health with unripe, green bananas, which have less sugar and more fiber than in their ripened state. Research shows that green bananas offer:

🍌Pectin and prebiotics to build the microbiome and increase the production of butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids

🍌Leucocyanidin, a flavonoid that may help to prevent GI ulcers by inhibiting the release of histamine in the gut

🍌Resistant starch (non-digestible) fiber that helps to prevent intestinal disease, increase mineral absorption and B vitamin synthesis, control blood sugar, improve immune response, and may even prevent intestinal cancer

Need a treat for a dog with a sensitive stomach?

Quartered slices of green banana are a perfect training treat, whether your dog is prone to diarrhea or not. Suggested amounts, chopped into bite sized pieces:

Giant breeds: 1 green banana a day
Medium to large breeds: ½ green banana a day
Small breeds: ¼ green banana a day

In Chapter 3 titled TREATS and TOPPERS of The Forever Dog LIFE book, we give you a rainbow 🌈 of options to treat your dog to better health including recipes that use bananas in a creative way and baking options like green banana flour that is a low glycemic healthier alternative to plain white flour! Now available ..and ON SALE for 50% off at almost all major retailers.

Plastic is the absolute worst !!
Also…please keep your dogs bowl clean…some of the bowls I see on my rounds are just putrid and that includes the water bowls !
Never use plastic for the water either ….please 🙏❤️

In our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE, we lay out the pro’s and con’s of different types of bowls. Here’s a glimpse of what you need to know:

Plastic🥣: Chemicals in plastic absorb through the skin and inhibit the synthesis of melanin, which can cause Plastic Dish Nasal Dermatitis that leaves your pet’s nose & lips, pink and irritated.

Ceramic:🫖 Hartpury scientists found the most harmful bacterial species (salmonella, E.coli and MRSA) were most frequently found in ceramic bowls because of people continuing to use them after fine cracks in the glaze become visible.

Stainless steel🥄: cheaper quality bowls have been involved in recalls due to heavy metal contamination. Be sure to buy high-quality bowls (18/8 or 304 steel) from a trusted source.

Glass🥛: Durable, kitchen-friendly glass bowls made from 100% borosilicate glass (Pyrex) make great food and water bowls on the floor.

🧼No matter which type of bowl you use, the best thing you can do to protect you and your dog’s health is to wash your bowl after every meal with hot water and soap. In addition, at least once a week, run your bowls through the hot cycle in your dishwasher. You can also coat the bowl with hydrogen peroxide, wait five minutes, then wipe with a clean sponge and rinse.

👉 Comment BOWLS and we’ll message you the link to our online shop where you can now buy 304 double-walled stainless steel or borosilicate glass Forever Dog food or water bowls for your dog or cat!

About time 🙏🙏🙏

Finally, we’re at a turning point in veterinary nutrition. ✨ Vets are the last group of formally trained medical professionals to still actively (and sometimes aggressively) promote the exclusive feeding of ultra-processed, pelleted food for a lifetime (birth to death), as a means to achieve longterm health. 🥺❓
This incongruent and unorthodox recommendation is a result of our nutrition education during veterinary medical school. As of now, every vet school around the world is endowed by a Big Pet Food brand, so their nutrition curriculum is funded, prepared and executed (taught) by the top (ultra-processed) pet food manufacturers (or faculty funded by them), so our future vets don’t have access to unbiased nutrition information. But our Next Generation vet students are asking more questions 💥; aren’t less processed, fresher foods healthier for all mammals? How does heat and extended, unregulated, storage temps affect added nutrients, flavorings, palatants and additives 🌡️? Where are all the synthetic nutrients coming from, and is anyone regulating safety? In the U.S., there’s no limit on the amount of copper and other minerals in pet food… and what happens when we feed excessive amounts in perpetuity?
While some vet med students may not feel nutrition is relevant to their future (see link in graphic), and some (correctly) feel they aren’t adequately prepared for the job ahead of them, we have a whole new generation of intelligent, inspired, and empowered veterinary students who actually understand all of these issues, and are moving forward with a clear sense of what needs to happen in veterinary hospitals around the world, but also what has to happen in the industry ☄️. The next generation of present-knowledge vets is here… let’s support the heck out of them❣️

🥳 Happy Birthday 🥳 to this gorgeous big goofball Lovely Lucy Lou ❤️
10 today and the photo says it all and there was no way I could get Teddy and Georgie in there as well for the photo but they all shared the muffin cake and said it was sooooo delicious!!!!
Oh and that’s the closest I could get the cake without it disappearing in a flash !!!!
We love you Lucy ❤️❤️❤️

So Teddy is Libra ….Georgie Girl is a Leo and Lucy is a Cancer. Quite appropriate descriptions for all of my family ….what star sign is your dog and is this accurate for them ?

Would anyone have a space in their home and hearts for this big gorgeous boy…Tosh ❤️
He’s around 7 and really needs to be the only cat as he’s a bit of a bully apparently but he does like dogs 😊
He would love a home where he can have access to outside as he’s not a fan of being confined but not a wanderer …just some space to smell the roses !
Apparently he follows you around like a dog and likes to sit with you but not a fan of being picked up etc ….also he’s huge !
He’s in the Newcastle area if anyone can help and can be brought to you for a trial to see how he fits in to your world.
Please contact me if you or anyone you know might love this gorgeous big boy ❤️
