Nature’s toothbrush for dogs🪥

Researchers found that certain raw bones🦴 particularly spongy bones, can remove up to 90% of tartar and reduce gum disease in dogs. In just 3 days, spongy bones cleared 60% of buildup without harming teeth. Natural, effective, and safe (when done properly), could bones be part of your dog’s new dental routine?

Feeding bones is just one of the areas where dog parents get conflicting and confusing advice every day. So today at a special time, 3PM ET, Dr. Will Maginness joins us to tackle some of the biggest questions dog parents are asking about their pets’ health.

From how to choose the best bones to feed, to Dr. Will’s favorite support protocols and supplements if you have to give boosters or desex your dog.

We hope to see you today at 3pm ET!

Twisted stomachs, broken hearts🐾💔
Most people think “bloat” just means gas buildup, but gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) is much more serious. In GDV, the stomach fills with gas and twists, cutting off blood flow and putting dangerous pressure on vital organs. Without immediate treatment, it can be fatal.

🐾 What dogs are highest risk? Large, deep-chested breeds are the most vulnerable. Neutered males are at slightly higher risk.

📌 What Research Shows:
-Dogs that eat quickly or swallow a lot of air face a significantly higher risk
-Split daily calories into two meals instead of one large meal for at-risk dogs — it lowers GDV risk.
Diet matters:
– Dogs fed ultra-processed kibble, especially those with seed oils listed among the first four ingredients, face a higher risk.
– Kibble pieces smaller than 30mm also increase risk.
– Feeding meat-based diets with larger chunks (>30mm) can lower risk.
-Avoid exercise and large amounts of water immediately before or after meals.
-Dogs with anxious, fearful, or high-stress temperaments have a higher likelihood of GDV.

⏱️ Every Second Counts
If you suspect GDV, go to the vet immediately. With rapid surgical intervention, survival rates reach up to 80%, but waiting can be deadly.
Your awareness and quick action can save your dog’s life. ❤️

Many pet food brands highlight blueberries as a source of antioxidants, suggesting health benefits for pets. Blueberries are indeed rich in polyphenols, plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that support both human and animal health.

In this study, researchers analyzed 40 popular bags of pet food (18 cat and 22 dog) purchased from four pet stores, Pet Valu, Global Pets, Rens Pet Depot, and Pet Smart, listing blueberries as an ingredient to measure quercetin, free phenolics, and antioxidant-protected phenolics. Overall, cat kibble had lower average levels of quercetin and antioxidant-protected phenolics compared to dog kibble. Free phenolics were minimal to undetectable in all products.

The findings suggest that extruded kibble containing blueberries is unlikely to provide meaningful levels of polyphenols on its own, and therefore may not serve as a reliable antioxidant source for cats and dogs.

Blueberries are one of the ultimate longevity foods, like a suit of armor for your pet.🐾🫐 Rich in prebiotic fiber and powerful polyphenols, they help repair DNA, fight free radicals, slow aging, protect against cell damage, and support the body’s antioxidant defenses making them one of the best anti-aging treats to share straight from your fridge! (opt for spray-free if possible!)

Start with ¼ to ½ tsp per 10lbs of body weight a day.
