🐶 Dogs Can Smell When We’re Stressed 👃

A 2022 study suggests that dogs are able to detect stress markers through volatile organic compounds excreted in our breath and sweat.

What does this mean?

👉 When you experience compounding stress you won't necessarily notice it (nor will you be able to smell it) however your dog will be able to detect the subtle changes.

👉 These compounds suggest to your dog that there’s danger in the environment, you’re under threat and to remain alert and vigilant.

👉 Not only are they able to detect our stress, but this also impact their own stress levels, with another study finding that owner personality traits impacted cortisol concentration found in hair samples.

Dogs are able to detect our stress levels. And their stress levels mirror ours.

If your dog is experiencing chronic anxiety and dietary changes, herbs and holistic animal therapies haven’t proven successful, maybe it’s a good time to look into your own self care practices as a means of assisting with the healing of your dog.

How owner mental health can affect pet anxiety 👇

This is not dog related but those peoples are beautiful 🤩 I wish more peoples were like this !!

Join us for Family Meal.

A FREE, nourishing, wholesome dinner every Friday night at 5:30pm. Open to everyone in the community. We won’t be serving you, we’ll cook and then sit and eat with you and we’ll have a chat and connect and then we’ll all help to clean up. Food will be vegan and gluten free, to cater for the most people. An early dinner so you can bring the kids or come after work.

Why?
Well, to be perfectly honest, I’m tired of how the world looks at the moment. It’s becoming increasingly difficult (on the soul) to run a business while understanding that this capitalist system is designed for everyone except a few billionaires to fail. All of us have more in common with each other than we do with those people that hoard wealth at the top of this unjust system. I’m tired and sad and I feel hopeless. I’m not satisfied with a bourgeois freedom. The kind of freedom where my comfort only exists because of someone else’s discomfort. None of us are free until we all are.

Why?
Food insecurity is a huge problem in this country, with 15% of Australians experiencing food insecurity at some point in the last 12 months. This isn’t just a problem that unemployed people experience either and the figure will only increase as the ‘cost of living’ increases.

Why?
Because it is utterly wild that a phrase like ‘cost of living’ is just thrown around as political rhetoric. Why should it cost anything to just live a life? Everyone deserves food, shelter, safety, community.

Why?
It will help us minimise our food waste. We’re planning on putting everyone who comes and joins us for Family Meal in a message group where we can alert you if we have leftovers after other services and functions too. We can’t fix these huge systemic problems right now, but we can use any of our excess produce to make big batches of nourishing, healthy, wholesome, plant based food and invite you to eat with us.

Why?
We want to create community, build relationships, start conversations and share stories. We want to sit and eat with you and not complain about the state of the world, instead talk about what a new, just world could look like.

🥚 𝗘𝗚𝗚𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 𝗬𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗬 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗛𝗬 🥚

Eggs are considered healthy because they are a nutritious food that provides several important nutrients, including:

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻: Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is important for building and repairing tissues in the body.

𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: Eggs are one of the best dietary sources of choline, an essential nutrient that is important for brain and liver health.

𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗱𝘀: Eggs contain both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for heart and brain health.

𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘀: Eggs are a good source of vitamins A, D, and B12, as well as minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and selenium.

𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀: Eggs contain antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important for eye health and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
There are no rules about how many eggs your dog can consume, so add them daily or weekly, whatever works for you.

Free-range eggs are often considered healthier because the hens producing the eggs are typically able to move around freely and sometimes have access to the outdoors, which can provide them with a more natural and varied diet. This can result in eggs that are higher in nutrients, such as vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids.

You can also feed all kinds of different eggs if you have access to them such as quail eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, etc.

Dogs with a poultry allergy may also be allergic to the egg of that animal.
