Sweet Senior Chachi still looking very sharp at 12yrs ♥️🐕🐾

We currently have some AMAZING small dogs available for adoption, from the teeny tiny to the more robust, there are so many to choose from.
Whether you are looking for a youngster or a more mature dog, we are sure to have a dog who is perfect for your family.
If you are chasing a pure breed or a delightful mix of breeds, a short coat or one who needs regular trips to the groomer, an active dog or a lounge lizard, we have a KPR kid for you!

Our young pup of the group is 4 month old, Mini Dachshund boy, Winston. This little charmer is both cat and dog friendly and he is very loving and social.

Next is 12 month old, Rufus. This Maltese x Shih tzu boy is full of beans and has a zest for life that will have you up off the couch and out exploring with him. Great with other dogs and fine with kids, Rufus is 8 kg of fun!

Toy Poodle, Fleur is shy but sweet. Almost 2 years old, Fleur is awesome with other dogs and would do best in an adult only home. She would love another small dog in her new home to help with her confidence.

Beautiful Bella is 5 years old. The pawfect combination of Cocker Spaniel and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bella is a dog friendly, gentle, somewhat shy girl who will thrive in a home where she can gain confidence and feel like she belongs. Whoever gives Bella the opportunity to shine will be greatly rewarded by her love and companionship.

7 year old, Mini Foxie, Tori, will fill your home with love! Full of personality, this chunky little lady loves her food and her people equally. Tori is very friendly with everyone she meets. She is fine with other dogs and is a wonderful companion. Whether you are travelling or staying at home, Tori will be your best friend.

What tiny Chihuahua Penny lacks in size, she more than makes up for in sass! A typical Chihuahua, 7 ½ year old, Penny is bossy and loves to be the princess in her home. She is fine with other dogs who understand her need to rule the roost and she is better with small dogs than big ones.

Character plus, Tyson is a unique looking 8 year old boy whose quirky looks are equally matched by his fun personality. Tyson loves to “chat” with his human and all he wants in life is to be a velcro dog. Tyson is so loyal and devoted that he wants to do everything with his people, and he will follow them to the ends of the earth. Tyson is very loving and friendly and fine with other dogs. At 7 kg, Tyson is a great size to be a “go everywhere” dog!

One of the Best Foods to Slow Dog Aging: Spinach!🍃🧊🐾

In our upcoming “how-to longevity book” called The Forever Dog Life, we have an exciting science-based section on how to prepare longevity cubes🧊 for your pets and inspire you to create endless combinations! Here’s a spinach longevity cube idea if you aren’t already making these:

Folate is an essential B vitamin💊 found in food. It helps with the production of DNA and without folate new, healthy DNA cannot be created. Cell biologist and longevity researcher Rhonda Patrick, PhD, maintains that “a deficiency in folate is equivalent to standing under ionizing radiation due to the DNA🧬 damage it causes.” And DNA damage is a BIG contributor to aging.

More recently, folate has also been shown to play a role in protecting telomeres, those important structures at the end of chromosomes that are shortened with age and lifestyle choices; shorter telomeres are associated with shorter lifespan and higher incidence of disease. Being highly heat-sensitive , folate is one of the first nutrients to be inactivated in processed pet food.

In addition to its many vitamins and minerals, spinach provides antioxidants tied to anti-inflammation and disease protection. These include kaempferol, a flavonoid shown to reduce the risk of cancer, as well as slow its growth and spread. Another, called quercetin, has been linked to possible protective effects on memory🧠 as well as heart disease🫀 and type 2 diabetes. Two of the lesser-known glycoglycerolipid components of spinach include sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) and monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG), which are known for their anti-cancer activity. Overall, spinach contains the second-largest quantity of total glycoglycerolipids among other popular vegetables!

How to prepare spinach🍃for you and your dog?

Scientists say the best way to consume spinach for maximum lutein intake may be puréed. That’s because when spinach is chopped into small pieces, more lutein is released from the leaves. Older research found that cooking also impacts the folate content of spinach; boiling slashed this B vitamin level by nearly half. Steaming, however, resulted in no significant loss of folate! Cooking also diminishes the vitamin E levels in spinach (and reduces oxalates, if you want to reduce oxalate consumption) but actually increases the amount of beta carotene. So it can be served cooked or raw.

Looking for an easy recipe to get spinach into your dog? Try making our Spinach Longevity Cubes!🍃🧊🐾

INGREDIENTS-

* 5 ounces of fresh or steamed spinach (preferably organic)
* 2/3 cup of water (even better, try bone , beef or chicken broth, preferably organic)

INSTRUCTIONS-

* Add spinach and water (or broth) in a blender and puree. If the mixture seems too thick, add in extra broth.
* Pour the puree into ice cube trays and freeze until solid.
* Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Add 1 ice cube🧊 per 30lbs of body weight a day to your dog’s meal.

This is one simple and powerful way to add longevity benefits to your dog’s bowl! Looking for more ideas or recipes? Check out our new book available this spring: The Forever Dog Life with dozens of other suggestions available here: www.ForeverDogLife.com

If you have a dog with a double coat, the one thing you need to do is Deshed the coat once a week to keep it from matting and allow the air to flow through.

This photo has been doing the rounds on Facebook lately and we thought we would share, especially with Summer here in Australia.

Here is a thermal image of a dog with a portion of its body at 24°C (75.2°F) and the clipped portion at 30.8°C(87.44°F.) The hair is present for several reasons, one of them being for temperature regulation.

Please do not shave dogs who have double coats you are not helping them stay cool. Dogs who have dual coats should not be shaved and instead need regular grooming to keep the coat in good condition to properly insulate your dog. You are risking ruining their coat and getting them sun burnt.
