Organs,Muscle,Flesh,Fats and Bones.
All this goodness in our Doggy bowl today.🍖🥩🍗🦴

Meat is more nutrient dense and more bioavailable compared to plants.
Dogs can break down nutrients available in meat better than they can in plants.Hence Meat is a more sought out and superior source of nutrients.✅

Fresh food gives good life and health.Give your dog the gift of good health.💫⭐🐾

It's always reassuring when you know u can make a difference in a dog's life.
This transformation took almost 4 months after we transitioned into a meat based diet.
Holistic methods take time to work,progress is slow but the changes are definitely seen over a period of time.
Especially epileptic dogs,you need to take one step at a time,as you need to be sure not to trigger a seizure.
Scooby has turned a new leaf and transformed into a healthier and happier dog.⭐💫🐾

For dosage,always start with pinch and increase slowly.
1/4tsp small dogs
1/2tsp medium dogs
1tsp large dogs

This can be added to the food bowl on alternate days or a few times a week.

There is a simple way to look at your dogs food through food energetics.
Food energetics are used to look at how food affects their bodies from neutral, cool and warm standpoint.
For instance, dogs suffering with allergies and inflammation, warm foods must be avoided.
When you look at your dogs behavior and pair it with food energetics, you will find some ways to improve your dogs diet.Lets take a look at some signs below.

🔸️Your dog has warming energy if,
he is panting alot,drinks more water,seeks cooler places,suffers from inflammation and allergies,prone to skin infections, anxiety and stress.

🔸️Your dog has cooling energy if,
he is not drinking enough water,always has a runny stuffy nose,mostly sluggish always,loves being covered in blanket,in warmer places and snuggles alot.

🔹️Senior dogs might need a mix of warming/cooling and neutral foods,which will help them with age related conditions and arthritis.

This is Mike ,who has been having food allergies since the time he was a pup.

Multiple vet visits,medicines,consults,eliminations,his parents left no stone unturned in order to help him feel better.
There was one flare after another,coupled by itching,hair loss,dryness.Trigger was not known as it reached a point where anything and everything would cause him an issue.He had developed inflammation leading sores,bumps and scabs in various parts of his body.

His parents got in touch with me almost a month back,we started him on a species appropriate meat based diet.
The changes are remarkable.
He no longer has bumps,the scars are healing,scabs are falling off,skin is not dry flaky and is soft to touch.His parents also mentioned his skin & coat doesn't smell anymore.
He is showing positive changes and is healing.
Such transformations make us believe we are making a difference.

🔸️The image on the left is that we see what has become a 'normal' body we see in labs nowadays.
It's this shape that's become a common misconception on how a healthy dog should look.
🔸️On the right is the same dog,3 weeks into a diet customised to make him lose weight the healthy way keeping in mind his body requirements for maintaining healthy weight.We have cut down the extra treats,biscuits biscuits everything he doesn't need-just a species appropriate diet.
He looks much younger,more active and healthier.
The transformation is slow and takes time as shedding a few kilos in a week is never healthy,the body needs to take its own time to heal and come out stronger.❤
Hoping Mr.Snoopy inspires many of you to look into your dogs shape ,weight,health and start a journey towards a healthy weight.😇🙌

✅Fermenting veggies is the healthiest way to benefit from them.
Fermented veggies boosts immune system in dogs and promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in their gut.
Here is simple recipe to make your own batch of fermented veggies for your dogs😁

🔶️Fermented veggies recipe.
➡️Take an clean empty glass jar with a plastic lid.Layer up and add 100g carrots shredded,100g beetroot shredded and 1 tsp chopped ginger to the jar. This should comprise upto 3/4th of the jar.
➡️Dissolve 1 tbsp sea salt in 1.5 cup of water and add this to the glass jar,make sure that there is some space above the veggies for the fermentation as there would be liquid bubbling up.
➡️Keep this jar in a warm place.
Once in a day just unscrew the cover to release the pressure of the impending gas.
➡️Keep this mixture for atleast 4 to 6 days for getting an ideal fermented batch.

Fermented veggies for Dogs.
Around 70 to 80% of the dogs immune system lies in the intestinal gut or the microbial flora.
↪Which means if your dog has an unhealthy gut,the immune system is compromised. Antibiotics can create an imbalance in the gut flora and can lead to severe conditions like leaky gut syndrome,ibs and digestive disorders.
🔸️Feeding probiotics such as kefir,fermented veggies can ensure your dog has a stronger gut,hence stronger immunity.
🔹️Follow our next post for a simple diy fermented veggies recipe.

Snoopy's mummy has given us some good feedback on his diet transition.💫⭐
Its amazing when pet parents of a vegetarian household go that extra mile to make sure their dog gets a meat based diet,they really need for their system to recover.🤗👏

Unhealthy diets can cause inflammation in the body and provide no nutrition value to the meal.
You will see your dog gaining weight the most unhealthy way,when they are on a diet full of carbs,they will lose muscle mass over a period of time and only have a baggage of excess weight.
This would further lead to many health conditions like arthritis,diabetes,blood pressure and heart failure.

🔸️For weight loss,feed your dog a diet that is designed for your dog keeping in mind the calorific needs and activity levels.
🔸️If your dog has a sedentary lifestyle try increasing the activity levels,more walk time,play time.
🔸️Most importantly avoid feeding treats, snacks, throughout the day and educate everyone at home to do the same.
Small changes like these go a long way.
➡️Get in touch for us for a customised diet plan for a healthy weight loss and see your dog leading a happy healthy life.💫

When it comes to fiber,whole sources such as whole fruits and vegetables,is the best option.There are two types of fiber—soluble and insoluble.

➡️ Soluble fiber creates gases by fermenting in the colon.
🔺️ Too much soluble fiber can cause gas and diarrhea, which usually happens when fiber is first introduced to the diet or is suddenly increased.Starting with small doses and increasing gradually will help alleviate these side effects.

➡️ Insoluble fiber absorbs water as it moves through the digestive tract, meaning that it’s metabolically inert.
Insoluble fiber regulates intestinal transit time,meaning it increases the speeds during periods of constipation and decreases it during diarrhea.

⚠️If your dog consumes too much
Fiber,they can have a hard time absorbing minerals.
This can decrease the diet’s nutrient value by binding minerals, leading to weight loss, poor coat quality, vomiting, diarrhea and flatulence.

↪Again ,adding too much fiber in a dogs diet to reduce weight will only lead to excess p**p quantity.Excess fiber blocks the absorption of protein and other minerals required in the body,this will only lead to further weight gain.❌

Hachi's weight loss journey started about 8 months ago..he is a senior lab with arthritis and had alot of pain and inflammation,hence was living a very sedentary life.
With a change in the diet along with a right balance of supplements,he is fitter and active with the energy levels of a young lab,not a dull moment with him around says his mama.🤗🐾💫⭐
The transformation took time and it will ,the body needs to adapt to the natural diet.The right balance and consistency is the key.
We don't want the dog to rapidly lose weight skipping meals,reducing the meat content, adding more and more fibre ,its all just not gonna work and u will have to start from scratch.
I'm truly grateful to the pet parents who are consistent and patient enough for the diets to work.

Thank you for sharing this Tanusri❤,hats off to you for making this happen👏

There goes a famous saying 'Be the person your dog thinks you are'.These simple words mean so much responsibility.
We are responsible for the quality of their life-their food,water,environment,happiness,health,safety.
We alone hold the responsibility, we make a choice everyday on how their lives are going to be.
I think they deserve the best,don't u ?❤🐾😊

Many parents ask me if it is really necessary to transition their dog from one meal type to another or even one meat protein to another❓
It may seem to be an arduous task to transition over a period of time but its the best to help your dog cope with the changes easily.
Unlike us, our pets often eat the same diet for months and are not used to sudden changes.
Switching foods abruptly can cause vomiting, diarrhea or excess gas. So it’s important to change diets gradually.👌

In cases ,where you have been feeding your dog with veg/vegan or kibble based diets,the body may be out of practice in releasing the acids needed to digest the meat,so in such scenarios transitioning over a period of 10 to 15 days ensures that body adjusts better to the meat based diet.

Transitioning into a new diet or a new meat can seem difficult too as it sometimes may come with loose stools,vomiting for a few days but this is only temporary and will settle once the body adjusts to the new introduction.

If between switching the foods,your dog has diarrhea, here’s what to do.
✅Withhold food for 12–24 hours. This allows the gut to rest and regroup. During this time, make sure your pet has access to plenty of fresh drinking water.

✅When you feed them again, offer a bland diet that is easy to digest like chicken with overcooked boiled rice and pumpkin.

✅Offer 4 small portions spread over the day, rather than 1–2 big meals. Feed this until the dog produces stool that you can pick up.

✅Once this occurs, you can go back to once or twice daily feeding and reintroduce the new food.

Not all bones are edible or are meant to be digested,some bones are for recreational purposes only.
Chewing on a bone is an essential activity for dogs, not only it takes care of their gums teeth but also works on mental stimulation.
Chewing on bones releases endorphins in the body and improves overall well being.

Some things to be noted when u give bones to dogs:
🔸️The size of the bone makes a difference, general thumb rule is to pick a bone which is bigger than your dog's head.Simply stated u can't give a small bone to a big dog,as there are chances of obstruction if swallowed.
🔸️When dogs chew on recreational bones ,they are bound to splinter so make sure u pick up the shards such that they don't swallow them
🔸️Always supervise bone chewing time.

For a healthy dog, the diet needs to be balanced .
Each diet will be different from the other as it will depend on various factors like the age,breed,current weight,activity levels and health issues.Every dog had a different requirement from the other.
For the diet to be balanced,it must contain a good quality of meat protein,fish,organ meats,fibre,fats,complex carbohydrates and uncooked bones.
The meat protein in the diet needs to be always in a higher proportion than the other components.

Dogs thrive on a species appropriate meat based diet✅ here's why.🐾

16/06/2021

Making meals at home for our dogs is actually very simple,once you get into doing it,it becomes an easy peasy ritual and u start enjoying it.
Don't hesitate to switch to fresh food because it seems like a difficult task to be done.
It may be overwhelming at first but that's the best you can give your dog.Dogs thrive best on an species appropriate meat based diet.
Make the switch and see the difference.
The right diet in the right balance is all what your dog needs.
Transition takes time ,but once you're through it cooking and feeding becomes very easy.

Every dog is differnt from another and what works for one dog might not for the other dog.Some dogs are driven for food, some dogs are simply not.Usually when your dog shows picky eating behavior, u run all medical tests to ensure there is no underlying disease.If your dog is doing well and no medical reasons for him /her to reject food.
Then these could be the possible reasons

🔸️Like people, dogs can be creatures of habit. Offer a meal at the same time each day, and give your pet a certain amount of time to eat it, say 10 or 15 minutes. If they don’t eat within that time, take the food away and try it at the next meal.

🔸️Dogs tend to eat less in the summers and have a very less appetite.This is cause they know its hot and their body will find it tough to metabolize the food,hence they tend to reject it.

🔸️It is not imperative that all dogs will want to eat multiple meals in a day. Some are just happy with one meal,their breed is possibly genetically tuned to do just that.They might want to eat only when they feel hungry or eat once a day.This is perfectly fine,one dog's eating habits will differ from another.

🔸️Dogs can sense if they are going to get unwell with a certain type of food being fed repeatedly,they will start refusing those foods.That is why you suddenly notice a dog that's been eating the same meal for a long time suddenly refuse that meal.

🔸️Frequently, the cause of a finicky eating isn't a result of its behavior. It's usually the result of humans feeding table scraps or too many treats.The best approach is to stop feeding your dog from the table and limit the number of treats.Most treats are very high in calories and our dogs feel quite full. So it is obvious that your dog is looking away during meal time as they feel heavy or rather have a full belly with all the snacks and treats.

It’s fine to reward your dog for good behavior, but too many treats can spoil their appetite at mealtime.And if you keep offering them to try to get them to eat, that can send the wrong message. You’re telling your dog they can hold out for something better.

Flaxseeds are small, nutty-flavored seeds that offer a lot of health benefits for dogs. Flaxseeds are loaded with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which are good fats.

These seeds pack a whole lot of fiber which is important to a dog’s digestive health.Protein rich flax provides energy and keeps the immune system strong.

Flaxseeds contain lignans, which can improve cardiovascular health and may help fight cancer. Anti-inflammatory properties of flaxseed can help ease symptoms of arthritis, lower blood pressure, improve kidney function, and maintain healthy skin and coat in dogs.💫

You can incorporate ground seeds or a small amount of flax seed oil into your dog’s regular food to promote optimal health. ✅🐶

CHIA SEEDS have become increasingly popular as a superfood among humans and dogs alike.⭐💫

The nutrient rich seeds are a good source of alpha linoleic acid-an omega 3 fatty acid,fiber,proteins, minerals and antioxidants.✅
Chia can be also considered as a functional food too, as apart from contributing to nutrition;it also helps prevent cardiovascular diseases,increases satiety index and alleviates nervous system disorders.✅

The best way to add chia seeds to your dog's bowl would be to soak to bloom them in water; ideally overnight and add some to their food.🐶☺

"Viru is 7 months old and has suffered with allergies,tick fever and various other complications. I have tried everything to improve his well being. I got to know Yash*ta through a friend and been following the diet prescribed by her,I must say Viru is a lot calmer in general with good sleep and behavior.His appetite and other irregularities are under control.Viru has gained good muscle and his skin glows💫😁.The number of visit to Vet has reduced to a large extent. Thanks a million 😊"

Viru's pet parent got in touch with me a while back for completely transitioning him to a natural species appropriate diet.❤
He was a rescue pup and faced alot of health issues which affected his system over a period of time.He had gastrointestinal conditions which would make him vomit or would end up with really bad stools.His allergies had made him susceptible to falling sick very easily and often.He had become very aggressive,being food sensitive -a fussy eater too.We needed to correct the behavior and health condition with the right food balance in his diet.
With the correct food intake and regular sessions with his trainer
Viru has turned a new leaf now,the gastrointestinal issues have all long gone.He is a calmer happier dog,not to mention his skin is as sun-kissed as ever,our doggo has developed some good muscle with a healthy weight. 😊💫🥰

So we have been doing a lot of a DIY activities at home,dabbling with fresh ingredients and so are many pet parents as we all brave these lockdown scenes.
One such easy peasy recipe I had shared with a pet parent to keep her pack of dogs entertained and indulged in.
HOME MADE PEANUT BUTTER
Add it to your treat toys,Kong balls,licky mats,as Popsicles,they are a super hit and a crowd puller.We have always made PB at home as the store bought ones have Xylitol which is extremely bad for dogs.

👩‍🍳 250 gm unsalted peanuts pan roasted till they start releasing an aroma,be about 4-7 minutes,be careful not to burn them.If you got the ones from the store that have skin on them you will need to remove the skins dusting them off.
Once the covering has all fallen out, add the peanuts to a blender/mixer, add 2 tbsp of coconut oil and 2 tsp of honey.
Start to blend for a couple of minutes. After your first blend, you will see a crumbly texture. The more you blend, the more oils will be released and it will start developing a smoother consistency.Once achieved, scoop out and store in a glass jar.Once refreigerated, it's good for about 3 weeks.😊
**Avoid adding honey if you are making this for a puppy.
