I had crippling arthritis pain in my knees & I’m now pain free after 4 moths of using this liquid collagen so I knew it was going to be a good decision for my Ruby girl.

THE MOST DANGEROUS PET CHEW EVER: RAWHIDE!

How can one of the most popular chew sticks on the planet be so dangerous for your pets, you ask? I mean, most dogs chew on rawhide for hours on end, and not only does it keep them busy, but they seem to last forever.

Well if you understood what it took to make this toxic “raw” leather stick, you would quickly understand what the problem is.

Aside from the horror stories circulating all over social media these days, of pets needing emergency surgery after consuming rawhide, the majority of pet parents today, especially the newbies, believe that this chew is some sort of dried up meat stick. Let me debunk that myth right away!

A rawhide stick is not the by-product of the beef industry nor is it made of dehydrated meat. Rather, rawhide is the by-product of the “Leather Industry”, so theoretically it is a leather chew. Sounds awesome, right?

“Producing rawhide begins with the splitting of an animal hide, usually from cattle. The top grain is generally tanned and made into leather products, while the inner portion, in its “raw” state, goes to the dogs.” TheBark.com

So, how does this leather, which is conveniently rolled up into pretty shapes, actually get made into those rawhide chews?

Follow along my friends and I will enlighten you on how this hide travels through a leathery process where it transforms from hide to a not-so beautiful, colorful, chew stick. Here is a paraphrased tutorial that was explained by the whole dog journal several years back:

STEP 1: Normally, cattle hides are shipped from slaughterhouses to tanneries for processing. These hides are then treated with a chemical bath to help “preserve” the product during transport to help prevent spoilage.

(No one wants to purchase a black, spoiled rawhide stick!)

Once at the tannery: the hides are soaked and treated with either an ash-lye solution or a highly toxic recipe of sodium sulphide liming. This process will help strip the hair and fat that maybe attached to the hides themselves.

(No, no one wants to see a hairy hide…)

Next on this glorious journey, these hides are then treated with chemicals that help “puff” the hide, making it easier to split into layers.

The outer layer of the hide is used for goods like car seats, clothing, shoes, purses, etc. But, it’s the inner layer that is needed to make the rawhide. (Oh and other things like gelatin, cosmetics, and glue as well!)

STEP 2: Now that we have the inner layer of the hide, it’s time to go to the post-tannery stage! Hides are washed and whitened using a solution of hydrogen peroxide and/or bleach; this will also help remove the smell of the rotten or putrid leather. Bonus!
(Research also shows that other chemicals maybe used here to help the whitening process if the bleach isn’t strong enough.)

STEP 3: Now it’s time to make these whitened sheets of this “leathery by-product” look delicious! So, here is where the artistic painting process comes in.

“Basted, smoked, and decoratively tinted products might be any color (or odor) underneath the coating of (often artificial) dyes and flavors. They can even be painted with a coating of titanium oxide to make them appear white and pretty on the pet store shelves.” - whole-dog-journal.com

“…the Material Safety Data Sheet reveals a toxic confection containing the carcinogen FD&C Red 40, along with preservatives like sodium benzoate. But tracking the effects of chemical exposure is nearly impossible when it’s a matter of slow, low-dose poisoning.”– thebark.com

Ok, now that these hides have been painted, it’s time for the final process.

STEP 4: Getting it to last forever!

Because the FDA does not consider these chews to be food, really it’s a free for all when it comes to the manufacturers of these leather strips, and the products they may want to add to these chews, to get them to last forever. Any sort of glue can be added here to get these bad boys to never come apart.

When tested: Lead, arsenic, mercury, chromium salts, formaldehyde, and other toxic chemicals have been detected in raw hides. So it’s safe to say that any sort of glues can be used as well!

Finally, it’s time to package and attach all the glorious marketing labels to the product.

Check out the fine print warning that’s attached with some of these rawhides:
“Choking or blockages. If your dog swallows large pieces of rawhide, the rawhide can get stuck in the esophagus or other parts of the digestive tract. Sometimes, abdominal surgery is needed to remove them from the stomach or intestines. If it isn’t resolved, a blockage can lead to death.“

(Oh, how lovely…)

And there it is! It’s now ready to be shipped to store shelves where it can be purchased for our loving animal companions.

How do proactive veterinarians feel about these chews?

Here is world-renowned veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker's take on the matter:

“The name ‘rawhide’ is technically incorrect. A more accurate name would be processed-hide, because the skin isn’t raw at all. But the term “rawhide” has stuck.

Rawhide chews start out hard, but as your dog works the chew it becomes softer, and eventually he can unknot the knots on each end and the chew takes on the consistency of a slimy piece of taffy or bubble gum. And by that time your dog cannot stop working it -- it becomes almost addictive.

At this point, there’s no longer any dental benefit to the chew because it has turned soft and gooey, and, in fact, it has become a choking and intestinal obstruction hazard.“

P.S. Ready for the jaw dropper?

An investigation by Humane Society International stated in their report, “In a particularly grisly twist, the skins of brutally slaughtered dogs in Thailand are mixed with other bits of skin to produce rawhide chew toys for pet dogs. Manufacturers told investigators that these chew toys are regularly exported to and sold in U.S. stores.” – dogingtonpost.com

Great to take when walking the dog!!

Trail mix is usually high in sugar & high in calories but I found a combo that is: Lighter, Fluffier Trail Mix…..

Trail mix becomes a nutritious and dangerously high calorie way to pack a snack. Yes, peanuts, raisins, dark chocolate and almonds are good for you in small quantities (unless you are climbing Everest).
What to do? How about bulking it up with some lighter stuff to help keep the portion size reasonable? I use popcorn in the trail mix. It is nutritious! You get fibre, protein, fat, and some sugar to keep you going. When you pack your own, you save money, too.
It’s great for camping, winter hikes & school / work snack to pack.

Lighter Trail Mix Recipe:
makes 6 - 1 cup servings
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup peanuts
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
4 1/2 cups air popped popcorn
ziplock sandwich bags
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and measure out one cup portions into baggies. Store for 2 weeks.
NUTRITION FACTS
One cup = 175 calories, 9.0 g fat, 22.9 g carbohydrates, 5.0 g protein, 2.4 g fibre, 4 mg sodium.

😋🤤

PET COLLAGEN

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU PET NEEDS COLLAGEN?

You don’t – because they cannot tell you how they feel. They cannot tell you when they feel arthritic or if they have sustained an injury for being over exuberant in play…

Collagen plays a vital role in ensuring that dog’s connective tissues stay flexible. In fact, Collagen makes up to 70 – 90% of their ligaments, muscles & tendons.

When collagen is depleted in a dog’s body, injuries like hip dysplasia & torn cruciate ligaments are more likely to occur.

Luckily our collagen supplement comes from THE ONLY natural source on the planet, AND just one source (not a mix of all sorts of powdered crushed marine & animal bi- products), but the only source on earth that closely resembles not only dog collagen, but human collagen as well; & that is our Collagen with the HA Matrix technology.

Giving your dog collagen also aids in digestion by breaking down proteins & soothing the lining of the gut. It seals & heals the protective lining of the gastrointestinal tract by helping to form connective tissue & infusing the whole system with healing amino acids.

Besides providing a healthy moisturized dermis; soft, shiny coat; & strong powerful nails that do not split or crumble as they grow, Pet Collagen tastes great & inspires a healthy appetite.

Collagen is most effective when consumed with food, It tastes like beef & it inspires even the fussiest of eaters to have their dinner!

It costs about 60-80 cents per treatment so I am more than happy to give my fur baby the best collagen supplement on the market.

Its a wonderful alternative to cows milk- great for curries, great for smoothies, desserts, baking & the list goes on.. .
The best part of getting & making it from scratch - is that you know there's nothing in there but coconut and water!. .

It’s so simple to Make 💃🏻
Method 👇
🥥Add 1 cup shredded coconut with 2 cups of luke warm water into high speed blender & blend for a few minutes (time depends on blender speed)

When smooth & creamy pour it into a container through a colander lined with cheese cloth to catch all coconut particles!.. Then pour into sterilized glass container & refrigerate!..😊 Takes no more than 10min from start to finish!..

But wait, there’s more ☺️
Don’t throw out your left over coconut- put them on a oven tray and dehydrate at low temperature, cool & store for a later date or mill it down to use as coconut flour 😉

This recipe makes almost 1ltr - cost under $1.00 per batch..

How many of you have tried making either coconut or nut milks?? 🤩 Share in the comments below 👇

Grooming is an essential part of any pet lover’s routine, but keeping your pup pampered can also come at a cost without the right knowledge of the products you’re using. While many shop-bought grooming products will contain additional chemicals and artificial fragrances, opting for eco-friendly alternatives like natural dog shampoos will not only help to reduce the damaging impact on the environment, they can also be a lot kinder to pups with sensitive skin.
