A great start for your puppy. Future behaviour and health patterns begin in the food bowl.

A great start for your puppy. Future behaviour and health patterns begin in the food bowl.

What you choose to put in your puppy’s bowl 🥄at an early stage can literally affect their whole life, not to mention your bank account💳 with future vet bills if you decide to add nothing to their food!

“I only feed my dog their kibble, I NEVER give them anything else!” was once a proud pet owner statement, but microbiome🦠 research proves this is a BIG mistake. Study after study shows the more diverse your pet’s bowl is, the healthier their gut and immune system can become.

A brand new study from Finnish Veterinary Scientists shows healthy human food🍗🥦 leftovers offered to puppies significantly reduces allergy symptoms and skin problems later in life. This long-term, protective effect increased the more often real foods were added, so the more exposure puppies had to a variety of healthy leftovers, the more protection there was from developing skin issues down the road.

“…even if the dog🐶 eats 80% of its food as dry, adding a minimum of 20% of the food as raw significantly decreased the risk of AASS [allergic skin disease] later in life.” – Dr. Anna Hielm-Björkman

According to the scientists, feeding a variety raw or minimally processed, real food early in life may lead to microbial exposure that enhances the immune system early on, reducing allergic responses later in life. Some of the foods owners fed in this study were fish🐟 and meats🥩, vegetables🍆 and roots🍠, culinary mushrooms🍄, buttermilk and other fermented milk products🥛 and berries🫐.

In our new book, The Forever Dog, we list over 40 of our favorite fresh foods from the fridge to add to your dog’s bowl, backed by the most surprising new science as to why they’re so amazing at building health and longevity! We also show you how to add them in a way that keeps your pup’s nutrition in balance. You’ll want to check out the section called: “Core Longevity Toppers: Superfoods You Can Share with Your Dog on a Daily Basis.” We’ve also included handy charts on which foods are best at building your dog’s microbiome, powerful polyphenol-rich foods, as well as a long list of fast-n-fresh training treats, if you’re on the go. The Forever Dog book is now available for pre-order worldwide! www.ForeverDog.com/about

If you are considering day care here are some wise words from one of the best.

If you are considering day care here are some wise words from one of the best.

10 years in business and I am still learning every day.

I have been asked the same question a number of times over the past few weeks.

Question- How do you have so many dogs in the daycare and it be so calm and quiet?

Answer - Its not always quiet, but we will do everything in our power to learn why a dog maybe vocal. There is usually a reason and we will work on the reasons why.

Common problems are arousal, frustration, and anxiety. Unfortunately these are the three reasons many dogs don't pass assessments as well as medical concerns.

Many dogs who fail are intact adolescent males who are find the environment too over stimulating.
The past few weeks I have discussed this with a number of people, including the impact of being in the state of arousal for what could be upto 8-10 hours a day. Mentally and physically this could have a detrimental impact on any dog.

I am not and will not push for early castration of any breed of dog as I am aware of the implication's of this. However, we are possibly looking at changing the age limit of intact males to 9 months of age unless they are chemically castrated. I would also advise people to learn more about this before making any hesitant decisions.

Over the last few months I have also had a number of enquiries from people who have fearful dogs. Owners want them to join so they can get used to being around other dogs. These dogs are often asked to come for a meet and greet. I will do a free assessment to see how they react to just meeting one calm dog. Unfortunately, I am currently needing to do these daily and there is now a waiting list. I will admit that only a very few will be offered a full assessment. Many are referred on to other services.
I'm scared of spiders and spending all day with them wouldn't help.

So what have I been learning lately?
There is a greater need for dog owners to learn about socialisation and the needs of their dog.
What should professionals in the industry promote as our duty of care to our clients?
I believe the industry has a lot of improvements that should be made compulsory and backed up by licencing.
