🧐 A Must-Read for Dog Owners!

A recent study out of the UK has shed some light on what might be lurking in your dog's kibble, and it's definitely worth your attention.

Researchers examined the microbiological safety of 35 different types of dry dog food, both grain-included and grain-free. The findings? The grain-included foods were more likely to contain harmful bacteria like E. coli and coliforms, indicators of contamination. Luckily, no Salmonella was found in any of the samples.

So, what does this mean for your dog? While these bacteria don't always cause illness, they raise concerns about the quality of ingredients and the food production process. It’s a reminder to be mindful of what you’re feeding your dog and to choose products that prioritize safety and quality.

Remember, every dog is unique, and what works for one might not work for another.

Fact at the 4 Paws Raw house.

07/09/2024

Dogs and cats were originally designed to hunt and eat wild prey.

💧Wild prey contains a very high moisture content, generally 65 to 70%. Most raw diets and canned food diets will fall somewhere in the 65 to 75% moisture range, whereas dry kibble generally contains only 6 to 10% moisture.

🏜Pets consuming dry diets generally remain in a state of low grade dehydration. Over a lifetime, this leads to Yin Deficiency - a deficiency of moisture in the body. Pets that are Yin Deficient may have
• a dry coat
• dry foot pads
• a dry, cracked nose
• flaky skin
• a dark pink or red tongue
• excessive panting

Dry food consumption can also lead to a Chinese Medicine description call "Excess Phlegm". Consider a pot of stew cooking on the stove with the lid off. Steam rises from the stew and evaporates. The stew continues to lose moisture and eventually becomes very thick and sludgy. The same process is occurring inside animals fed dry kibble. The body is constantly consuming its own fluids to digest the food. Sludge starts to form.

The sludge can show up in the form of lipomas (large, fatty deposit lumps under the skin).

Dogs and cats with Excess Phlegm may have thick discharge from the eyes (seen also in Dry Eye), gooey ear discharges, greasy stinky skin, and hot spots.

The tongue may appear swollen with a thick coating that looks greasy.
By eliminating kibble from the diet, many of these detrimental changes can be reversed. Feeding a high moisture, species-appropriate diet can help increase moisture in the body and decrease lipomas and mucous discharges.

Understanding Flea & Tick Preventives: From Unsafe to Safe

#1 Very Unsafe – Oral Flea & Tick Preventives
- Prescription oral drugs that paralyze fleas and ticks
- Can cause neurological damage (e.g., seizures) in dogs
- Last 1-3 months, so if your dog has a reaction, you can’t remove the poison
- Often contain unneeded heartworm meds and dewormers

#2 Pretty Unsafe – Flea & Tick Collars
- Dog constantly absorbs pesticides through skin for up to 8 months
- Collars cause pet deaths and injuries
- Some have harmed humans
- Poisonous if dog chews it

#3 Still Risky – Spot-ons, Medicated Shampoos & Sprays
- Pesticides are absorbed by the skin into the bloodstream
- Organs may absorb the toxins
- Dog can lick it off coat
- Can irritate skin

#4 Safest – Natural Bug Sprays, Tags, Amber Collars, Shampoos
- Products using essential oils or herbal repellents
- Flea & tick tags that work energetically
- Amber collar rubbing against fur creates static electricity that repels insects
- Flea & tick shampoos made from natural ingredients and essential oils/herbs

According to nutritionists, dandelions🌼 are one of the top five MOST nutritious plants in the world, beating out broccoli🥦, spinach🍃, and carrots🥕! This superfood is full of prebiotic fiber that’s good for the gut and polyphenols that cleanse the liver, prevent inflammation, and helps manage chronic diseases like diabetes. Dandelions🌼 are also a powerful topical agent for wounds or dry, cracked paws🐾. All parts of the dandelion are edible! Let your dog loose in a dandelion-filled spring lawn—as long as it’s free of pesticides⚠️ and other lawn chemicals—or buy dandelion greens from your grocery store or farmers’ market.

Debunking Myths: Garlic Offers Positive Effects for Dogs and Cats 🧄👍

Unlike its allium relatives (such as onions, chives and leeks), garlic is safe for dogs and cats because it contains very little thiosulfate, the compound that causes hemolytic anemia onion in pets.

Garlic also contains a beneficial constituent called allicin, which has various medicinal properties for dogs, according to research. 🤩
