👉🏻Did you know BLOODWORK can differ for raw-fed dogs?

🚨 Here’s something ALL Raw Feeders should be aware of as well as those of you who are new to raw feeding.

📲 Be sure to FILE to refer back to!

✴️👉🏻 If you have a raw-fed dog its important to know that raw-fed dogs bloodwork may differ from the normal expexted ranges that are made for kibble-fed dogs.
✴️👉🏻This is because different diets can cause different blood values, so it’s important to know what’s normal for your dog’s diet. 

🩸 Many of the NORMAL RANGES WERE DEVELOPED FOR KIBBLE-FED dogs.

🩸 In fact, it’s commonly thought that a DIFFERENT SET OF “NORMAL” VALUES should be developed for RAW-FED dogs.

🚨👉🏻HERE’S THE ONES TO BE AWARE OF—

🎯 Raw-fed dogs typically have HIGHER BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) because they consume more protein.

🎯 They may also have HIGHER CREATININE (Cr) because of the higher protein content in raw food. Low levels are commonly seen with inadequate protein intake.

🎯 HEMATOCRIT (PVC) Levels can also be HIGHER because dogs are able to better utilize the higher protein levels in raw food. 

✴️ Slightly higher🩸blood values are to be expected simply because these indicators are a measure of protein breakdown/metabolism and raw-fed dogs receive a higher % of readily digestible & balanced meat 🥩 protein in their diets!

🎯 Raw-fed dogs tend to have LOWER LDL because raw food contains natural fats and quality protein. Where kibble can contain processed fats & oils, which can lead to higher LDL!

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️👉🏻Vets with an understanding of raw feeding will know what values to look for.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️👉🏻A Vet that is not experienced with dogs that are fed a raw meaty diet may be alarmed with escalated blood values over normal.

Throwing up is a common thing in pets! Here is what to look out for! If your dog or cat throws up after eating try a slow feeder they may be eating way to quick. Try putting the water down after their food has had time to settle in their tummy.
If they throw up in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. Try giving them a treat or two before bed. Dogs and cats who eat Raw food tend to throw up in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning because they digest so much of the raw food that they are eating and it does not sit in their system as long as processed foods like kibble. So giving a couple treats before bed will normally take care of it.
If you see blood in the vomit time to call your vet!

Watch how we do a deep clean on our dog wash stations. I wish we could deep clean them in 30 seconds but it takes like an hour and a half. We clean between every dog wash and clean them at night. But on Thursdays and Fridays we get on our hands and knees and clean every inch from top to bottom of each room.

Please for the love of god! When in public keep your dog on a leash. If you have a retractable leash keep your dog next to you and not 10 feet in front of you. Your dog may be ok with other dogs but you do not know if the other dog is reactive. Let’s respect other dogs space while out in public.

We want to share that we have been holding off on implementing this change for some time, but due to our consistently high volume of business, we must ensure fairness for all customers.

Effective today, our policy for dog washes will now include a 45-minute time limit, seven days a week. This adjustment is made in consideration of other customers who also wish to wash their pets, and we believe that a 45-minute time frame is sufficient for most visits. For your reference, many other establishments offer a 30-minute limit.

If you would like to take longer than the allotted 45 minutes, we are happy to accommodate your needs by reserving an additional time slot. Please note that there will be an additional charge for this extra time. Remember, the 45-minute limit is per dog, as our dog wash stations are intended for washing and drying only and are not designed as grooming facilities.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

We will be dropping off a packet that has a toy and a bag of treats that will go home with the first 200 dog and cats that get adopted. As always spread the word Austin. Anytime anyone adopts a dog or cat and come into any of our locations we have a free adoption program where if you spend $25.00 we will give $70.00 -$90.00 dollars worth of free product to help get your new pet on the right path to living its best and fullest life.

Join us Saturday, August 31 as we participate in Clear The Shelters, a national campaign that encourages people to adopt from their local shelters in an effort to “clear the shelters.”

Since its 2015 inception, Clear The Shelters has resulted in more than one million pet adoptions and raised millions of dollars for participating shelters and rescues

Last year, the campaign saw over 158,000 adoptions across the country, and we're hoping to help beat those numbers this year!

Hope to see you there! 🐕‍🦺
