👂🏻 Did you know your dog's ears can tell you a lot about its gut?

Ear infections are rarely “just ear infections.” Gunky, itchy ears are a symptom of deeper problems in the body. They’re the body’s way of getting rid of toxins and other unwanted substances.

When something is wrong with your dog’s ears, it means her immune system needs help. About 90% of your dog’s immune system lives in her gut … so gut health creates overall health. And if ear infections seem to clear up, but then come back … it’s time to consider the gut as the source of the problem.

Many dogs with frequent ear infections have leaky gut. Toxins, medications, and bad bacteria harm the cells that line your dog’s gut. This lets unwanted food particles, bacteria, and toxins into the bloodstream, which can lead to many chronic health problems.

If your dog gets frequent ear infections, you’ll want to eliminate gut problems as the root cause.
If your dog’s gut needs support, probiotics, and herbs can help maintain the protective layers of the gut and mucous membranes to promote a normal inflammatory response to everyday toxins.

Always be sure to check your dog's ears on a regular basis 👂🏻

Kangaroo Butcher Block is finally back, with a bit of a twist.

Previously it was made with duck for the bone content, but with the duck prices still quit high, it is made with rabbit. This is a great blend for dogs with allergies, or just to add a bit of variety to your main diet.

⚡️⚡️WARNING: With the thunderstorms happening right now, many dogs will spook and bolt when they hear it, escaping their homes, yards or even taking the leash right out of their owners hands and running away. Some already have and the thunder's just begun.

Here are a few tips to help keep your dog safe today:

1) Keep your dogs on leash when you take them outside for a p*e, even if you have a fenced yard. Panicked dogs can easily clear a fence that they wouldn't otherwise think of jumping.

2) Attach their leash to their collar rather than a harness (a panicked dog can escape almost any harness), making sure the collar is fitted quite snugly. You can loosen it again once you bring your dog back inside. Or clip on two leashes, one to their collar AND one to their harness.

Note: If their collar can be pulled even partway over one of their ears, they can easily slip their head out of it if they bolt when you try to pull back on the leash to hang on to them.

Even better, use a snugly fitted martingale (aka limited slip) training collar to take them outside as those are impossible to slip out of when sized properly. To size it, when it’s pulled tight make sure there is no gap anywhere and that you can’t fit even one finger underneath it.

3) Hang on to the leash securely. I personally know dogs who pulled the leash right out of their owners grip when thunder or fireworks went off and bolted. In one case, the dog was found a day later and many kilometres from home after having crossed several busy roads.

4) Make sure doors and windows large enough for your dogs head to fit through are closed. Again, spooked dogs can bust right through a screen to escape. The rule of thumb is if your dog can fit their head through a gap, they can get the rest of their body through it, too. They’re flexible like that.

These are temporary precautions but may mean the difference between your dog staying home and safe or posted on ROAM - Reuniting Owners with Animals Missing and being looked for by a search party.

On your next visit, ask us about blueberry options to help boost your food.

3 Reasons To Feed Your Dog Blueberries

The blueberry is an antioxidant-rich, immune-boosting superfood. They have flavonoids that can help reduce cell damage and boost the immune system.

And the real power of blueberries is that they have the most antioxidants of any fruit. They’re also high in healthful nutrients.

In fact, blueberries are like a natural multivitamin for your dog. Blueberries are quite low in sugar ... and that means they're low in calories, too.

There are a surprising number of studies on blueberries. According to research, here’s where blueberries can support your dog:

🫐 Brain Health
🫐 A Healthy Inflammatory Response
🫐 Heart Function
🫐 Weight Loss
🫐 Gut Health
🫐 A Healthy Urinary Tract
🫐 Eye Function
