Although we are heading into Spring, March 13th is all about honouring the kidneys, which are associated with winter in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Kidneys hold our dogs' and our own life force energy, and they are an important part of our detox systems. Kidneys are also associated with fear.
To nourish your dog's kidneys, remember that "like feeds like" in TCM, so consider adding in some kidney to your dog's diet.
Other foods that support the kidney are dark foods like dark leafy greens, blue berries, and black sesame seeds.
Foods that are at the "start of life" are also great for the kidneys! Think about small oily fish, eggs, seeds, and sprouted microgreens!
If you'd like to take a deep dive into all thing’s kidney disease: what it is, how it is diagnosed, and how to prevent and manage it with fresh food, check out the Mystic Dog Mama podcast episode with the incredible canine nutritionist and vet nurse, Katie McCaul! It provides you with some new, helpful perspectives on how to prevent and manage kidney disease, by taking away some of the fear that comes with a kidney disease diagnosis. There really is SO MUCH we can do to help dogs with kidney disease live long and healthy lives.
