University of Suss*x scientist calls promotion of preventative practice when pets are flea free ‘profiteering’

01/02/2025

👀 To flea or not flea?! A really interesting article in the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/jan/29/vets-urged-to-cut-back-on-flea-treatments-amid-uk-biodiversity-fears) on the impact of spot-on flea treatments on small birds, insects and other wildlife. Basically, the spot-on treatments used on dogs contain strong pesticides (some of which are banned for agricultural use but not in pet meds) and the chemicals are getting into our waterways with serious environmental consequences. The University of Suss*x have been researching this issue for several years now. They’re calling for vets to take a more risk-based approach when advising on the use of these spot-on treatments. Lavender Oil, Garlic Oil, Neem Oil are just a few natural alternatives that keep fleas/ticks away without having to use the harsh chemicals in spot-on treatments. Worth considering 👍 More on alternatives on the IG Rescue website here: https://italiangreyhoundrescuecharity.org.uk/about-italian-greyhounds/safe-flea-tick-prevention/

If you use a natural alternative for flea/tick/mite prevention please let us know what it is in the comments - always good to know ❤️

Another visit to dog friendly beach today.
Arica even got a squeaky ball from newly met Riya 4 5mnth old cavoodle and her parents🐕😍🐾🏖🙏

That might be an idea for pawrents to clean teeth of their pooches - for a start.

From my experience with Arica - nothing is perfect - so sometimes toothbrush,sometimes a finger wrapped in a cotton cloth, herbal toothpaste or baking soda + coconut oil on top, apart from diet and bones

Some dogs love or accept rain, some get used to it - so we walk rain or shine.

Some need a cooling jacket on a hot day.

Remember no one is arguing the need for sterilization, it's the surgical technique that should be reevaluated. Hysterectomy and vasectomy achieve the same goal but leave important hormones intact according to science.

"The association between gonadectomy and timing of gonadectomy, and the risk of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract
Objective - To determine if gonadectomy in dogs is associated with the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease (CrCLD) and to quantify the magnitude of the association.

Study design - Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Sample population - Comparative studies with gonadectomized and entire dogs, with CrCLD as an outcome measure.

Methods - A systematic search of the primary and gray literature was performed. The effect size of the outcome measure was defined as the OR and 95% CI. Subgroup analysis was performed with s*x, breed, and age at gonadectomy. A pooled OR (95% CI) was generated from meta-analysis of relevant studies. Certainty in the body of evidence was rated with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.

Results - The literature search yielded 1398 results and 24 relevant studies were included for synthesis. Gonadectomized female (pooled OR = 2.293, 95% CI = 1.768–2.945) and male (pooled OR = 2.117, 95% CI = 1.665–2.691) dogs were both at increased odds of developing CrCLD in comparison with entire female and male dogs, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that gonadectomy at 1 year or less was consistently associated with an increase in odds of developing CrCLD in both s*xes. Overall certainty in the evidence was rated as moderate. All included studies were observational and no controlled trials were available.

Conclusion - In data with moderate certainty, gonadectomy is associated with increased odds of developing CrCLD in both s*xes, particularly in dogs gonadectomized at 1 year of age or less.

Clinical significance - This study provides an estimate of the true effect size of gonadectomy on the odds of developing CrCLD, which may be useful for clinical decision making surrounding gonadectomy and the timing of gonadectomy."

New Study – “MCTs from the diet have been investigated as nutritional solutions for disorders such as epilepsy, canine myxomatous mitral valve disease, and cognitive decline due to aging. […]

We find that dietary MCTs rewire both the metabolome and the lipidome of the serum, which has the capacity to influence organ function. While the impact of MCT supplementation has been investigated as a therapeutic option for diseases such as cognitive decline, the results of our work suggest that dietary MCTs may also have other beneficial effects on the general health of dogs.“

Join Dr. Karen Becker & Rodney Habib live at 12pm EST on the Inside Scoop as we discuss:

🥥 Safely adding MCT oil to your pet's diet
🦴 Using chondroitin sulfate to support joint health in dogs and cats
💊 Two essential supplements for pets on antibiotics
