FLAXSEEDS

Flaxseeds are in our daily spice mixes for many reasons.

They contain vital minerals, protein, fat and fibre.

Flax is a healthy superfood that possesses many essential fatty acids such as ALA, also known as Omega-3 as well as Omega-6's. These help maintain healthy skin and coat as well as ALA being renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties and strengthening of the immune system.

The dietary fibre helps constipation and a**l gland issues.

Flaxseeds also 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

For best nutritional absorption flax is best freshly ground before feeding or use an oil. If fed whole the will pass through the system untouched.

Another awesome bit of learning to add to the skillset. This is as we further our mission to get buzz off his allergy medication or at the least reduce the dose as much as possible.

Buzz's allergies are a bit different to the usual I have seen. Do you have an itchy dog? Skin, ear or guy conditions? I highly recommend doing this as it is explained here better than I ever could. Then if you need reach out for help with putting it all into practise, balancing and planning meals.

MUSHROOM POWDER!!! We use mushroom powder in our spice mixes and also use fresh mushrooms chopped up small or lightly sauteed or in our broths, the offcuts we don't eat. 🍄 🍄

Mushrooms are amazing, all edible mushrooms have incredible properties such as being anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-tumour, anti-cancer. They are high in fibre and a great probiotic for a healthy gut.

Not all mushrooms are created equally and some are super stand outs, classed as medicinal mushrooms.

We get our mushroom powder from Olive's Kitchen NZ . Here is some great info they have put together from other fantastic sources on the benefits of medicinal mushrooms.

MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS ARE SUPERFOOD FOR YOUR PET’S IMMUNE SYSTEM

While medicinal mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine for centuries, what’s less well known is that they hold important potential value for cats' and dogs' health in the areas of immune and digestive health, normal cell growth, promoting the normal detoxification process, helping to protect against environmental stressors, and even joint and respiratory health.

Nutritional Value of Mushrooms

Mushrooms’ healing properties come from their nutritional value. They contain:

Minerals: potassium, selenium, sulphur, sodium, geranium, zinc, phosphorus
Sugars: mannitol, xylose, glucose, galactose, mannose
Vitamins: B complex, folic acid, pro-vitamin D
Protein: essential amino acids
Enzymes: antibacterial, proteolytic
Lipids: phospholipids, sterols, sterol esters, free fatty acids, mono-, di- and triglycerides
Polysaccharides: glycogen, beta-D-glucans, chitin
Essential oils: triterpenes
Stop! Not all mushrooms are created equal

Medicinal mushrooms refer to a select number of safe and edible mushrooms that have associated health properties, such as turkey tail,reishi and shiitake.

How do medicinal mushrooms impact our health?

The mushroom is a complex organism that contains several thousand enzymes, nutrients, and proteins in a ratio that offers nutritional benefits.

For example, mushrooms contain natural polysaccharides (simple sugars) and the most important polysaccharides for those suffering from cancer are called beta-glucans. According to the Dog Cancer Doctor, Dr. Demian Dressler, “beta-glucans have a wide variety of effects in the body. Beta-glucans can bind to the outside of natural killer cells and other immune system cells, responsible for destroying cancers, and help ‘turn them on’ and increase their activity. Beta-glucans may also be able to increase overall white blood cell activity in the body.”

In other words, mushrooms boost the immune system and help the body to fight against cancer. New research is showing that some mushroom extracts can help chemotherapy drugs better find and identify cancer cells, which makes chemo more effective.

An early 1970s Japanese study demonstrated the powerful anti-tumour effect of shiitake mushrooms. Mice suffering from sarcoma were given shiitake extract, and “six of 10 mice had complete tumour regression, and with slightly higher concentrations, all ten mice showed complete tumour regression.”

How can mushrooms benefit our pet’s health?

Just some of the benefits that have been associated with medicinal mushrooms include:

Increased longevity
Improved blood flow
Cholesterol and blood sugar normalization
Liver protection
Kidney support
Antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties
Improved respiratory illnesses, including asthma
Reduced risk for heart disease
Improved skin and hair
Increased sexual function and athletic ability

𝗔𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄, 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀!

Here are some things to consider as your dog ages:

➡️ There is no need to restrict protein unless there is a medical condition. As your dog ages you may notice a decrease in lean body mass and high quality protein (essential amino acids) is important for tissue repair, immune system support and stress response. Personalized diets help ensure protein/amino acid requirements are met even when calorie requirements may decrease.

➡️ Consider proactive supplements like CoQ10, Vitamin E, B complex and glucosamine/chondroitin products combined with a nutrient dense diet

➡️It’s critical your dog’s diet meets their nutrient requirements, many reserves may be depleted if their diet hasn’t been optimal.

➡️If you find you need to cut their food back quite a bit or they gain weight- remember less food equals less nutrients. Look for a food that has fewer calories, but still has quality protein.

➡️Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbages and berries such as blueberries, blackberries and raspberries contain various phytonutrients to help boost your senior’s diet.

➡️ IF their diet is balanced, AND they're getting fresh foods and supps mentioned above, then look at additions like mushrooms, turmeric paste, decaf green tea, and/or bone broth on a case by case basis. These are extras to help with inflammation and for immune/cancer support, cognitive and joint support.

➡️Increase vet visits (blood work and urinalysis) to semi annually so you can catch any minor problems before they escalate.

➡️Ensure your dog is trim and keep them active. Instead of one long walk per day, consider splitting it up into multiple walks.

🌳Let them sniff!

🧩Change up where you walk, feed some of their meals in puzzles (if they don't get frustrated) teach them a new trick. We can get a bit complacent because they sleep more and seem content - but mental stimulation is so important for their cognitive health!

SPIRULINA... what it is and why I feed it.

Spirulina is actually just blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria. Lots of us here in central are well aware of the nasties in that algae family.

Spirulina is loaded with macronutrients, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, and several vitamins and minerals. According to the USDA, one single tablespoon (7 grams) of dried spirulina powder contains:

Calories: 20
Protein: 4 grams
Fat: .54 grams

Spirulina is also noted for being rich in vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, and manganese.

In humans, spirulina has been studied as an immune system stimulator, antihistamine, antioxidant, and pain reliever. It has also been shown to reduce high cholesterol and hypertension (high cholesterol).

Animal studies are lacking overall, but have shown some potential benefits in immune system function, as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergen, and as a protective cancer therapy for chemotherapy and radiation.

**CAUTION** Spirulina can effect some medications, especially those that effect the immune system so please consult with your vet first if you are on medications or if your dog has an autoimmune disease.

Because Spirulina is an algae if grown in contaminated water the product can be contaminated.

**DOSE** Recommended daily dose is half the human dosage (most you will buy is human food)

**DISCLAIMER** I did not make up this information however I highly thank those who have taken the time to gather information like this for me to learn from.

***WHY I USE IT***

All our dogs get Spirulina powder daily in their food to aid in boosting their immune system. We originally learnt about it while in the process of dealing with Buzz's allergies. We are trying to reduce his dose of appoquel - a hard immune suppression drug. Among other things we are giving him Spirulina for all its goodness and helping boost his immunity for fight against his allergies. It is a slow process, we are 2 months in and have slightly decreased the dose and now looking to decrease the dose again. Especially coming into winter as his allergies flare up less.

Green lip mussel powder
Turmeric paste
Spirulina powder

Alternating daily:
Mix 1:
Mushroom powder

We have already shared with you in recent posts the wonders of green lip mussel and it's rich omega 3 content with DHA and EPA.

We have also shared recently the magic of the golden spice turmeric...or it's active ingredient Curcumin. Making that into our Golden paste with coconut oil, water and cracked black pepper. (Pepperin aids in the absorption of Curcumin) Coconut is wonder ful for the gut, skin and coat and is an added bonus source of natural healthy fats.

People always look at me funny when I say my dogs get tea every day. We use a few different types of tea...and have anxious/nervous dogs so are always looking for more great calming ways to help them cope. It is amazing the difference we see in buzz on his journey so far and are always learning new things, we will now be looking out to get some holy Basil and lemon balm for him, he already gets the chamomile.

WANT TO HELP YOUR DOG LIVE LONGER? Try these inexpensive, polyphenol-rich longevity teas for you and your dog (or cat)!🫖

According to scientists at the University of Helsinki, over 70% of dogs exhibit noise sensitivity, separation anxiety, aggression, fear, compulsive behavior, and other behaviors associated with stress and anxiety.😿

Thankfully, one group of herbs🌿 known as adaptogens has proven to soothe and relax the nerves thereby reducing stress. Animal studies also show they are neuroprotective, and have anti-fatigue and anti-depressive activity. Additional studies have found that by regulating the body’s stress response, these powerful compounds can help reduce the effects of aging and may increase longevity. Researchers found one adaptogen, chamomile🌼, was associated with a 29% decrease of all-cause mortality!

🍵Using these herbs to make medicinal teas for our dog or cat is an inexpensive and easy way to create polyphenol-rich toppers (“gravies”) that infuse longevity benefits into every meal!

This is why we created this Calming Tea from our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE, using these three powerful herbs that you can share with your dog and enjoy as well:

🍃 Holy basil, aka tulsi, a potent adaptogen has been found to protect organs and tissues from physical stress including excessive noise, as well as from chemical stress from pollutants and heavy metals.

🍃 Lemon balm has been shown to reduce anxiety, especially when combined with other calming herbs like chamomile. High in flavonoids like quercetin, its high antioxidant activity has been show to protect against oxidative stress and the progression of degenerative diseases. In animal studies, lemon balm was found to have potent neuroprotective properties.

🍃 Chamomile contains a flavonoid, apigenin, that studies have shown significantly lower symptoms of anxiety and depression. In both human and animal studies, compounds in chamomile have benefits ranging from being anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial to potentially reducing the growth of cancer.

🙌For more ways to add longevity benefits to your pet's bowl, comment and we’ll message you the link to our new book where starting on page 149 in the section “Teas, Straight Up”, we take you through other powerful herbal combinations to make TUMMY Tea, COGNITION Tea, DETOX Tea and more! PLUS you’ll find a section on Herbs for Health where we cover important herbs and why you might want add them to your pet’s diet, along with dosages and recipe ideas.

Turmeric is a magical spice. It doesn't even make it into our rotating daily spice mixes, it is so fantastic it has a special place just of it's own... We make golden paste. Turmeric, coconut oil, hot water, fresh ground pepper. This goes into our dogs food bowls every day.

WHY THIS LONGEVITY HERB IS A MUST ADD TO YOUR DOG’S DIET!🐶

Cancer is considered the leading cause of sickness and death in dogs. And one of the world's most extensively researched and promising natural compounds for cancer treatment is a medicinal herb that so desperately needs to be incorporated into our pets’ lives. That herb is turmeric root.🍠

Over the years, curcumin (a compound found in turmeric) has been studied as a potential tool to both reduce as well as possibly treat, different forms of cancer.🦠 Various studies have found that curcumin can help kill tumor cells, as well as inhibit tumor growth in test tube and animal studies. With the ability to selectively target cancer stem cells, curcumin plays a significant role in suppressing the metastasis of cancer cells.

More recent research has discovered curcumin may also protect the body from oxidative stress and damage caused by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Studies show that cooking some foods at high heat results in the formation of more than ten to hundred times of new AGEs in foods.🔥 Processed canned and kibble dog food may contain significantly high levels of these AGEs. Animal and human studies show dietary AGEs result in increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and potentially organ damage, with more than half of absorbed AGEs bound in the liver and kidney. Accumulation of AGEs in the body over time may be a significant contributor of aging. Curcumin has been shown to not only protect the body from AGE’s damage but may also inhibit the formation of AGEs in the body.

👉Our suggested amounts for dogs: 50 to 250 mg two times a day, this is roughly 2 mg per pound of body weight twice a day. *Based on curcumin's naturally low bioavailability, source a product that has been formulated for increased absorption.

💬Comment and we’ll message you the link to The Forever Dog LIFE book with over 120+ recipes and tips to help your pet live a longer and healthier L.I.F.E. Including ways to make it easy for you to incorporate this golden root into your pet’s diet like our Apoptosis Bites for a snack that packs a functional punch. Apoptosis is the body’s clean-up mechanism to remove old or diseased cells, and add curcumin here to boost this natural process.

Or make our Ultimate 2.0 Turmeric Paste - and supercharge it with green tea for even more benefits. And bone broth, rich in collagen, is the perfect vehicle for turmeric to lend its joint-supporting assistance.

And, of course, we included turmeric in a number of our complete and balanced recipes. It’s a superstar ingredient that provides essential nutrients, too! Comment for more.

Green lip muscles are amazing!!! All my dogs get this starting from pups, the high DHA is so good for healthy developing brain function. As they age all the other goodies like rich EPA help to keep their joints healthy.

We originally found it for buzz, at 5 when he first came to NZ he was dragging his back feet a bit and scuffing all the fur off above his nails. We found green lip mussel powder and combine with lots of good exercise and free running within only a few months the hair was all grown back and only now at 9 are we starting to see a little hair scrape again.

Added bonus green lip mussels are from NZ!!!

We usually grab a 100g pouch when we get some goodies from Otago Petfoods Ltd or from the local Animal Rehab Central pet pit stop. It lasts our 4 big dogs months.

Green Lipped Mussels: The Natural Superfood for Dog Mobility 🐶

Nutrition is the fuel of life and in my opinion one of the most important parts to a long healthy life. However there are lots of other things that tie into wellbeing too.

Massage is one of those. As the days grow colder our training sessions are underway so the dogs are getting regular massage to keep their muscles in tip top shape. Just like human athletes, body work is essential not only as an aid in recovery of injuries but also as a preventative.

We love broths in our house!!! They go down and absolute treat with almost every meal.
I make a weekly bone broth, usually with venison or lamb bones and often while still hot pour this over some green veggies like spinach, kale or parsley that my dogs don't love eating but are full of goodness. This allows the goodness to steep into the broth and the taste of the broth to filter onto the veg and it all goes down a treat!

These are just a few of the EASY broth recipes🍵 you’ll find in our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE. This deceptively simple food provides warmth, comfort, hydration, healing, and nutrition, all in one, for a variety of your pet's needs:

🤢 Is your dog or cat experiencing nausea, reflux, gas, or just general GI upset? Try Belly-Soothing Broth. Among its ingredients are ginger root to improve GI motility, fennel to prevent GI ulcers, and cumin to stimulate digestive enzymes, plus other gut-soothing goodies.

🧠 Want to support your pet’s cognitive function? Serve up Brain-Building Broth, a salmon-based concoction infused with herbs that protect and enhance the brain.

🦠 Facing an infection or other challenge to your beloved’s immune system? Reach for Immune Broth. With the power of mushrooms plus herbs with antimicrobial and detoxifying actions, it offers a line of defense while supplying needed fluids.

🤧 Have a pup 🐶(or kitty 🐱) with histamine issues? Try the Quick and Easy Low Histamine Broth. We love traditional bone broths, but they might be out of reach for the histamine-sensitive. Ours is cooked just long enough to derive benefits, but not so long that histamine levels soar.

We have an entire section dedicated to Forever Fluids with even more recipes for broths, stews and teas! So you’re sure to find something that meets your pet’s needs! And, of course, we’ll also give you inspiration for using broth in a multitude of ways, from warm 🔥toppers to frozen 🧊 treats, and everything in between.

Have you ever found yourself staring at a bag of pet food on the shelf realising you have no idea what your looking for? Maybe you have been wondering what some of the ingredients actually are? Possibly the thought popped into your head is there things I can add to my pets food bowl to make it better for them?

Maybe last time you were out playing a rough game of fetch or saw your dogs skidding around on a slippery surface you asked yourself is this ok?

Have you ever considered what are their toy, bed or bowls made of?

Perhaps you are unsure if your dog is carrying a bit too much weight or maybe not enough?

Does your dog like to pick and choose their meals and you need a little help with fussy eating.

All these things and more you can learn about at our healthy dog seminar. Heading to Hamilton this weekend in conjunction with Paws at Home NZ Make sure to register with Sarah to secure your spot.

Recent studies found 90% of dogs will develop periodontal disease 😱 This is bad news, because disease in the mouth often leads to disease in the heart 🫀, kidneys, and liver.

But here’s the good news: chewing certain types of bones 🦴can remove up to 90% of dental tartar!

Researchers found that specific bones removed tartar without causing injury to teeth, and they concluded that certain bones should be part of the home oral health care plan for dogs, along with tooth-brushing. And since many dogs consider this form of oral hygiene a treat (in fact, they’re called “recreational bones” because they are meant to be gnawed on, but not chewed and swallowed) it’s easy to get your dog on board for this healthy habit 🙌

In our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE, we give you more science-backed tips, recipes, and doable how-tos for taking care of your dog’s 🐶(and cat’s!🐱) body, inside and out, like a DIY toothpaste 🪥to help keep those pearly whites tip top!
