❌ MYTH: Dogs can't eat garlic

✅ BUSTED: Yes they can!

Garlic is good for dogs! But many veterinarians and websites say that even a small amount of garlic can kill your dog.

Here's how the myth started ... There was a study in 2000 when the equivalent of 20 heads of garlic were given to 4 dogs over 7 days. Now that’s excessive by any standard.

You see, the researchers wanted to see if garlic affected the hemoglobin in red blood cells. These four dogs were INJECTED with concentrated garlic extract DIRECTLY INTO THEIR STOMACHS for 7 days. And nothing happened.

The study states: "However, no dog developed hemolytic anemia." But the recommendation to avoid garlic in dogs is what everyone remembers.

So here's why you should feed garlic to dogs:

✅ It's antibiotic, antifungal and antiparasitic

✅ It been shown to repel fleas and ticks

✅ It has anti-cancer effects

*At this time there are no official recalls for these brands yet.⁠
Samples have been sent to an independent laboratory for testing. We do not have information on a specific contaminant at this time.
⁠
If you believe ANY BRAND of pet food is causing or has caused illness or death:⁠
Stop the food immediately.⁠
Report it to the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/report-problem/how-report-pet-food-complaint
Contact your veterinarian. Request a copy of your pet's medical records. Report your concerns to the pet food company and ask your vet to do the same. ⁠
PLEASE COMPLETE THIS SURVEY: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/S8SMQGD
⁠
This began with a significant rise in consumer reports of sick pets eating Purina pet food. We are now seeing the same symptoms across different brands of pet food which happened previously when there was contamination at the supplier level - multiple brands purchased the same contaminated material. ⁠
⁠
SAVE THE PET FOOD. Do NOT agree to send the pet food company the food. If you feel compelled to do so, only send a small portion. Keep the rest of the food in the freezer in original packaging. Do NOT send the medical records to the pet food company. Document your conversation with the pet food company.⁠
⁠
The pet food company may offer to pay your vet bills and reimburse you for your pet food. If you agree to this they will ask you to sign a form which will prohibit you from taking legal action. If there is a class action lawsuit you will be unable to join if you do this or if you want to take your own legal action.⁠
⁠
It is YOUR choice to feed what you feel is safe for your pets. Here is a free list of brands I trust to feed to my own pets: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JQBhk-TGSsfYXlLQnetHYoOBJplanU2X/view?usp=sharing
I also trust "The List" by consumer advocate, Susan Thixton. There are more options on her list and the $10 supports her full time work advocating for safe pet foods for our pets: https://truthaboutpetfood.com/the-list/

Teddy loves his spinach he thinks he is Popeye grin 😁

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
