Organic Norwegian Seaweed Meal
The Zoe ethic is always to produce a tasty and healthy treat for our furkids. Now our baked treats are even more nutritious. We have added a new ingredient to our biscuits and muffins for that little extra oomph! Organic Norwegian Seaweed Meal (100% Ascophyllum nodosum).
Seaweed is one of the most sustainable plants in existence. Research papers on Ascophyllum nodosum (one of the world's most studied seaweeds) showed it to be one of the most nutrient-dense plants on this planet.
Ascophyllum nodosum is not kelp. Kelps are generally giant Seaweeds that grow in deep water. These huge kelp forests are protected and cannot be harvested.
What is it, and where does it come from?
Ascophyllum nodosum is a small, soft Seaweed that lives in the freezing waters of the Atlantic Ocean, below the Arctic Circle, in Norway and Iceland. It grows on rocks within the tidal zone, at low tide, it hangs over the rocks, baking in the hot sun, and then it is covered by freezing Arctic waters at high tide. Scientists believe these extreme conditions give Ascophyllum nodosum its unique properties.
This seaweed is harvested under strict regulations for sustainable farming by the Norwegian government. After harvesting, the seaweed is dried and milled with nothing added to produce the seaweed meal.
Why is it healthy?
Ascophyllum nodosum (AN) contains all the nutrient groups, vitamins, and around 60 minerals in natural form. It is rich in amino acids, protein, and linolenic acid (an Omega-3 fatty acid that dogs need), enzymes, trace elements, antioxidants, polyphenols, soluble fibre, Iodine for the Thyroid and Selenium, known as the youth mineral.
What are the benefits for our dogs?
Studies have shown a supplement consisting of Ascophyllum nodosum (AN) added to our furkid's diet works in several ways to improve mouth health. For example, an enzyme known as Bacillus licheniformis works to protect against tooth decay by preventing bacteria from sticking to tooth enamel. AN is also known for reducing plaque and tartar build-up, leading to a healthier mouth, fresher breath, and fewer teeth cleaning procedures the vet performs.
AN boasts a range of other health benefits, including healthier coat/fur support, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and increased energy and immunity. Ascophyllum nodosum contains compounds called phlorotannins, which are unique to seaweed and may be able to inhibit starch and lipid absorption. It also provides Amino acids and prebiotics to improve the gut biome for optimal gut health, resulting in better digestion and nutrient absorption. Better gut health also means a reduction of allergy symptoms, such as itchy ears, feet, and red skin. There are now studies at Newcastle University, UK, as to whether or not this supplement can help to fight Cancer because of the Free Radical Scavengers it has.
All this adds to Organic Norwegian Seaweed Meal as an excellent supplement for us to include in our healthy treats for the fur kids.

Propylene Glycol Controversy

Propylene Glycol is a controversial chemical. It is often used in some popular commercially prepared dog treats and foods, (smackos, good os, kibble with soft textured pieces) this is what gives these products their unique moist texture (soft and squishy) and has a sweet taste to make them moreish; it helps reduce moisture and prevent bacteria growth (a preservative). It has been accused of causing a long list of health problems, ranging from developmental and reproductive problems, which cause skeletal malformation in offspring of animals fed propylene glycol, allergies and immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity and endocrine disruption. Reports in the veterinary literature of scientifically sound studies have shown that propylene glycol reduces red blood cell life span, renders red blood cells more susceptible to oxidative damage, and has other adverse health effects in dogs consuming this substance at levels found in soft-moist food and treats.

If you know anything about auto care products, you may immediately recognise this chemical as it is found in anti-freeze and coolant, is used to de-ice planes and remove ice on roads. It is also and it an additive to many items, ranging from massage oils to "black light" tattoo ink, lubricates air conditioning compressors and hydraulics. Propylene Glycol can alter the structure of your skin and is used in pharmaceutical patches.

Your dog requires what is called intestinal bacteria to help absorb and digest the food. Since glycol reduces bacteria growth, it also reduces the “good” bacteria that are required for good gut health. Additionally, it reduces the moisture that is needed to aid in digestion. As a result, some dogs may develop cancerous lesions within their intestines or develop intestinal blockage.

We feel it is essential to eliminate this controversal chemical from our furbabies diet, Propylene Glycol is a common preservative used in commercial treats and dog kibbles, it is our policy not to produce any dog treats with chemicals or preservatives and know it is another reason to be very careful what we are feeding our little ones.

Arnica Montana

Arnica montana (Leopard's Bane), sometimes called the "mountain daisy", is a bright yellow flowering herb known since the 18th century for its medicinal purposes for pain relief. The plant grows naturally in Northern USA, Canada, Siberia and central Europe.
Arnica is a popular homeopathic remedy known for its extraordinary curative powers. Nicknamed the "patron saint of muscles and bruises," Arnica relieves the discomfort of bruises and sprains, muscle tightness and inflammation.
The power of this plant lies in the many substances found in the flowers. The active ingredients are sesquiterpene lactones, mainly helenalin, flavonoids and phenolic acids. These substances influence many inflammatory pathways in the body, which explains why Arnica reduces swelling time in injuries. Helenalin also inhibits blood clotting, improves blood flow, and reduces bruising and inflammation. Arnica's powerful pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties make it a valuable remedy for relieving pain resulting from sprains, bruises, other injuries and helps to manage chronic pain.
There are many other uses for this powerful herb apart from bruising and sprains. Today, Arnica montana is the first remedy used by homeopathic practitioners to heal dogs affected by shock and mental stress, where their emotional state has been deeply affected by traumatic events, whether physical or emotional. Arthritis, Rheumatism, travel sickness, and insomnia problems have all had good results with Arnica.
You can purchase Arnica montana in two forms, pellets for ingestion and a topical ointment, cream or gel.
Arnica has excellent anti-inflammatory properties for pets when used topically. Ensure that if you use a topical form, they don't lick it off, as the ointment can be toxic when ingested. Keep a close eye on your pup; use it before mealtime or a walk to distract them. Apply in acute and chronic conditions such as sore muscles, bruises, and sprains. You can apply topical preparations 2–3 times daily for up to 3 weeks.
Homeopathic pellets are for oral treatment, and they come in a range of potencies from 6C (being the least potent) to 200C (the most powerful.) The potency means how often the medicine is diluted and succussed (shaken). The more times a remedy is diluted, the higher the strength. Arnica dosage and frequency are not determined by how much your dog weighs. Your pup's symptoms define it.
Dose: 30C pellets are the most common strength administered from home, with 3 pellets considered a typical dose. Repeat every four hours for 48 hours initially, then drop to 3 pellets every eight hours.
Method: Give at least 15 minutes before or after food. Crush the pellets, dissolve them in one tablespoon (15ml) of filtered water, and stir/shake. Put one teaspoon (5ml) in an eye dropper and empty it into the dog's mouth. Save the other two teaspoons for later; do not refrigerate. Give your dog another teaspoon of the water every four hours. Or you can place crushed pellets directly on the mucus membrane of their lower front teeth's gums and lip.
You can combine topical and pellet treatment in severe or acute cases for a more favourable result.
Some evidence suggests that if used post-surgery, the effects of veterinary-prescribed anti-inflammatory medication combined with Arnica are enhanced, or alternatively, Arnica provides suitable post-operative pain relief alone. Therefore, it is worth considering using Arnica to help aid the healing process if your dog is due to have surgery. N.B. Arnica increases blood flow and circulation, so use is not recommended leading up to surgery, as it can cause unwanted bleeding.
Arnica is undoubtedly worth having stored in your doggy first aid kit. You never know when bruising, muscular strain or sprain will happen, usually on the weekend, or the Vet isn't available. It can also save the stress and cost of a Vet visit with good results.

Fantastic Fungi

For centuries, Medicinal Mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine!
You can't go wrong using medicinal mushrooms for natural healing for your dog, and they are prescribed in holistic vet practices for treating different ailments worldwide. There have been fantastic results using fungi as remedies for many health issues, from treating cancer to regulating blood pressure. Mushrooms are versatile natural plants and serve four significant healing functions, disease prevention, cell regeneration, cancer, radiation protection and treatment intervention.
These are miracle plants; no other plants can help as much as mushrooms. They're great for us, and they're great for our pups as well. Not all mushrooms are medicinal; however, most edible ones have medicinal properties.
The healing abilities come from their nutritional value. They contain minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, selenium, zinc, sulphur, and geranium. Vitamins: B complex, folic acid, pro-vitamin D Sugars: mannitol, xylose, glucose, galactose, mannose. Enzymes: antibacterial, proteolytic. Protein: essential amino acids. Lipids: free fatty acid, phospholipids, sterols, sterol esters, mono-, di- and triglycerides. Polysaccharides: glycogen, beta-D-glucans, chitin. Essential oils: triterpenes.
Mushrooms contain natural polysaccharides (simple sugars); the essential polysaccharides for cancer patients are called beta-glucans. According to Cancer Specialist Dr Demian Dressler, "Beta-glucans have a wide variety of effects on the body. Beta-glucans bind to the outside of natural killer cells and other immune system cells, which are responsible for destroying cancers and helping turn them on and increase their activity. Beta-glucans may also increase overall white blood cell activity in the body."
Mushrooms don't kill cancer, but they can boost the immune system and help the body fight against it! New research shows that some mushroom extracts can help chemotherapy drugs better find and identify cancer cells, making chemotherapy more effective.
The most beneficial medicinal mushrooms for dogs are Shiitake, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, Reishi, Maitake and Lion's Mane. Studies show they can improve immune system function and have many other essential health benefits for your pooch. In addition, you can combine different mushroom species to get their various healing properties.
Shiitake Mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms have ten amino acids and 30 different enzymes. They also have minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, and selenium, making them impressive for your dog's health. They improve circulation and stimulate white blood cells. They can also inhibit tumour growth. Shiitake mushrooms reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, help relieve bronchial inflammation, treat Cushing's disease, reduce allergy symptoms and regulate urinary incontinence.
Turkey tail Mushrooms
Full of beta-glucan polysaccharides ( essential sugars in the body), which aid in activating the immune system and helps to fight off disease and protect the body from infection. A recent study by the Vet School at Penn State University looked at turkey tail mushrooms for dogs with hemangiosarcoma (a common cancer found almost exclusively in dogs). The longest survival times of dogs with this disease were treated with a compound derived from the turkey tail mushroom. Other benefits of turkey tail mushrooms include helping heal pulmonary disorders, treating the inflammation of the digestive and urinary tract systems and decreasing the effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
Cordyceps Mushrooms
Wild cordyceps mushrooms grow on caterpillars, making them expensive to harvest; luckily, they're also cultivated. Cordyceps have antifungal and antibacterial properties and have three protein-bound polysaccharides and several amino acids.
Studies show that cordyceps mushrooms have unique antitumour properties and protect against heart and liver disease. Cordyceps are also suitable for treating: Leaky gut syndrome, Lung carcinoma, Chronic liver disorders, Kidney failure, Hyper-lipedema, Cardiac arrhythmias, Hypercholesterolemia, Asthma and Geriatric diseases.
Reishi Mushrooms
Reishi mushrooms are known as the mushrooms of immortality. They have antitumour effects, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and immune-stimulating properties, which make them great for boosting overall health. Reishi mushrooms are used to treat: Cancer, Heart disease, Compromised immune systems, Allergies, Arthritis and upper respiratory viral tract infections.
Maitake Mushrooms
In Japanese, Maitake means "dancing mushroom"; these mushrooms stimulate t-cells, lower cholesterol and inhibit tumour growth. Maitake mushrooms are suitable for: Preventing cancer, helping to manage diabetes, liver problems, and supporting the body during chemotherapy and other cancer treatments.
Lions Mane Mushrooms
Lion's Mane is especially well known for its ability to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF). Challenging health issues can be managed through their neurotrophic properties. Also known as "Nature's nutrient for the neurons". Lion's Mane are amazing mushrooms for boosting brain function, memory and the nervous system. It can even help regenerate damaged nerves and stimulate nerve growth. Other benefits of adding Lion's Mane supplements for your dog are: supporting your dog's digestive health, which supports their immune health. It promotes cardiovascular health by reducing chronic inflammation and limits oxidative stress to the arteries; both can lead to heart problems and diabetes. Lion's Mane may also help control obesity and boosts metabolism.
How To Feed Medicinal Mushrooms To Your Pooch
Mushrooms come in either whole (fresh), powdered or capsule form. You can make a tea or broth using dried mushrooms. If you want to give your dog whole mushrooms, it's best to give them a good wash and cook them thoroughly. Raw mushrooms can be challenging for your dog to digest and may be toxic. They're safe when cooked.
If you buy mushrooms in powdered or capsule form, follow the directions on the package. If the product is for us, assume the dosage instructions are for a 68-kilo person. Adjust the amount according to your pup's weight. It is recommended to start with a lower dose and increase the dosage gradually to avoid any digestive upset.
Here's just one example of how to use the power players together.
Mushroom Mix for Liver Disease
If your dog suffers from liver disease, this mushroom mix can help support the liver. Combine the dried mushrooms (or powder) – 2 Tbsp of reishi, maitake, shiitake and turkey tail. Mix with 120 ml hot water, Add Amino-b-plex (available at many online vendors), and store in the fridge. Dosage: Give your dog ½ ml per 2.25 kilos of body weight twice daily.
If purchasing powder or capsules for the best results, choose a mushroom supplement with no fillers. Make sure the supplement is produced from whole fruiting bodies and not mycelium. If the supplements are just mycelium, it is lower in beta-glucans (the good stuff) and higher in starch. The research cited above was done with extracts from whole fruiting mushrooms
