Winter is here, and with it comes potential hazards for your dog that you may not be thinking about. Here are some practical winter tips to keep your dog warm, safe and healthy this winter season!

❄️ Paw protection: Salt and ice can irritate your dog's paws. After walks, wipe them down with a damp cloth.

❄️ Adjust meals for energy needs: Cold weather may increase your dog's energy needs. Raw food with a variety of proteins and healthy fats helps keep them warm, active and can help boost their immune system.

❄️ Layer up: Some dogs need extra warmth in winter. Consider a cozy dog sweater or jacket for smaller dogs or short-haired breeds.

❄️ Limit outdoor time: If your dog loves winter walks but is particularly sensitive to the cold, keep the walks short but more often to avoid overexposure. And also - Just like in summer, cold weather can be dangerous in a car. Don’t leave your dog unattended for lengthy periods of time.

❄️ Watch out for hypothermia: If your dog’s shivering or seems lethargic, bring them inside to warm up.

Wishing you and your pup a fun and playful winter season that is full of adventure!

Every year on January 24th, animal lovers celebrate Change A Pet’s Life Day, which is a special day for encouraging people to adopt shelter pets and raise awareness about vulnerable animals in need. Here's what our friend Angela has to say:

I started fostering about 15 years ago because for me it hurt my heart to see so many animals suffering. Since then, I have fostered more puppy litters and dogs than I can count and every single one has left a special mark and impression on my heart. Fostering and placing these vulnerable animals into safe and loving homes allows them to begin their healing journey and take their first steps toward their new lives. It’s a safe place to decompress, heal their wounds, socialize with other animals safely and begin basic training. This process can take a week or months depending on their circumstances but for me it’s been worth every moment. A foster parent can learn about the animal in a normalized home environment and help assess what type of forever home they would thrive in best to help ensure success after adoption. Fosters are volunteers and every time they open their door to an animal in need it allows wonderful organizations like the Victoria Humane Society to say yes and save more lives! I have learned so much about compassion while volunteering with the Victoria Humane Society. I hold their director Penny Stone and all the volunteers in the highest regard. Their dedication and willingness to take on some of the toughest cases while working tirelessly to help as many animals as they can is remarkable.”

The VHS slogan, ‘let the love begin’ is perfect for what they do. They state that “it’s up to all of us to write new endings for the sad stories, to change them to happy ‘tails’ of rescue and re-homing” and I couldn’t agree more. I believe we can all do something positive, big or small to create a ripple effect of change for these vulnerable animals.

For anyone interested in fostering or interested in adopting please contact the Victoria Humane Society.

It’s Labrador retriever day AKA time to give a treat to the pup who loves to fetch, swim, and snuggle!

Did you know that in the past, Labrador Retrievers were primarily used to retrieve wild game from bodies of water? Carefully bred to have the perfect qualities of a water dog: webbed feet for quick strokes, short fur that won’t drag them under the surface, and a water-resistant double coat to keep them warm in cold water.

It’s also no surprise they are one of the most popular dog breeds in the world with their friendly demeanor and loving nature.

Let’s give a round of applause for these playful, loyal companions! 👏

Starting fresh this year? Why not include your furry friend in your resolutions? Here are 5 ways you and your pet can work on resolutions that benefit both of you:

1. Take Daily Walks, Jogs or Hikes 🚶‍♂️Walking, Jogging and Hiking are great forms of exercise for both you and your pet. It’s a chance for you both to get fresh air, relieve stress, and bond. Try to get outside for at least 20 minutes a day—your dog will be thrilled!

2. Shared Diet Journey 🍏 Begin your year with a shared commitment to better nutrition. Start by reducing the number of calories you both consume each day. For you, focus on cutting out processed foods and replacing them with fresh, low-calorie options. For your pet, it might just mean consulting your vet about adjusting their portion sizes if you are already rotationally feeding our whole, healthy blends.

3. Pet Mindfulness Practice 🧘‍♂️ Take a few minutes each day to practice mindfulness with your pet. You can sit with them, focus on your breathing, and appreciate the peaceful presence of your pet. It’s a simple way to ground both of you.

4. Socialization Adventures 🐕 Plan outings or social activities that involve both of you. Whether it’s a dog park visit, a walk with friends you haven’t seen in a while and their dogs or a pet-friendly café, socializing with others helps you both improve your mood and expand your social networks.

5. Create a Bucket List 🌍 Make a list of experiences you’d like to share with your pet this year! From hiking, to pet friendly trips, to learning new tricks, a bucket list will keep your adventures exciting and full of surprises.

A new year means a chance to grow even closer to your furry best friend. Let’s make it a year of mutual wellness and fun! ✨🐾

Here at Coastal Raw, we promote rotational feeding for a healthier, happier pup! Our Deluxe Sampler box lets you introduce a variety of proteins/flavours to allow for convenient rotational feeding without the hassle of needing more freezer space for storage. Here are 5 reasons why this could be the optimal raw option for you and your pup!

Rotational feeding may -

1 - Reduce the chance of your dog developing food sensitivities and intolerances over time.

2 - keep your dog excited about mealtime, prevent picky eating and help with poor appetite

3 - improve the diversity of your dog’s gut health, helping their digestive system, promoting immune function and reducing inflammation.

AND

Rotational feeding definitely will -

4 - Increase the variety of amino acids/vitamins/minerals your dog consumes.

5 - mimic an ancestral diet by incorporating different animal sources

The holiday season is full of fun, but it's also full of potential hazards for your furry friends! Here are 5 Christmas Safety Tips to keep your pup safe and sound:

1. Avoid Toxic Foods – No chocolate, Turkey Skin, Gravy or anything with garlic, spices or onions! Stick to raw or freeze dried treats this season.

2.  Secure Decorations – Ornaments, bells, and figurines can be choking hazards. Keep small décor up high and out of paws’ reach.

3.  No Bones About It – Do not give dogs bones from your holiday meals. They can splinter and cause choking or injury!

4.  Be mindful of constant opening of doors - with guests consistently coming and going, stay aware that these may be potential opportunities for your dog to wander off

5.  Keep Pet Stress in Mind – New people, new sounds, and decorations can overwhelm pets. Make sure your dog has a stress-free spot for naps.

Happy Paw-lidays to all!
