A Balanced Canine LLC

Our Meal Time Routine in a FIVE pet household 🐶🐱This is our simplest routine, things change depending on the time I have to prep meals and based on what each pet needs at the time. We always feed a variety, but my cats eat a lot of @stevesrealfood PMR quest line. Martha is extremely picky and doesn’t like her food TOO wet, so we try to get one wet raw meal in a day and then freeze-dried with a bit of water, she also is very selective about proteins and only likes Pork, Rabbit and Fish. Frank & Claddagh are Garbage disposals and will eat almost anything so they get what the others need. Helen is having some issues with uric acid production (her vet feels this is genetic) and requires more attention to her diet, she eats mostly homemade and sometimes quest, she also gets a stress supplement and Chinese herbal blend prescribed by her TCVM vet. Abuela, is our newest addition and was on Royal Canin and is having all kinds of issues because of this, we put her on @sundaysfordogs for the trip and I am waiting for her to adjust and my ingredients to get here to make her gently cooked functional food therapy diet (formulated for her, by me), I want to wait for her to get settled before causing anymore stress from changes. She’s getting Healthy Gut probiotic and Digestive Enzyme combo from @adoredbeastapothecary, and some psyllium husk to help with GI stress during the transition. Frank has allergies so he often gets probiotics and green tea during flare-ups.Emotional well-being and nutrition are BOTH important factors in your pets health. Having a multi-pet household CAN be stressful for some pets, giving them their own spaces to eat removes food competition and allows them to relax and decompress during meals instead of feeling like they have to protect their resources. This is an important step in our routine to reduce their stress where we can, it also limits conflict in the house.••••#multipethousehold #pethealth #petblogger #petnutritionist #pethealtht

🐶Save this for your dog and your next grocery trip! A healthy friend-shaped Dragon Fruit treat for your dogs! Dragon Fruit has so many health benefits and has been studied for its healing and regenerative properties when it comes to liver health! Not only is it a healthy snack for dogs, but especially dogs with HUA. Hydration is extremely important in managing the health of dogs with Hyperuricosuria and this fruit is between 85-89% moisture! A high moisture, fresh food base diet is extremely important but hydrating, antioxidant, low-purine snacks like these can help you ensure your HUA pet is staying hydrated! Dragon Fruit has also been studied for its effects on lowering blood sugar levels in rats. Since HUA pets are typically fed diets with a higher carbohydrate load due to the need for a low purine diet, foods that help manage blood sugar levels can be beneficial! Dragon Fruit is rich in prebiotics which feed the microbiome and keep it in good health. There is a Gut-Bladder Axis that has a hand in uric acid production!

Urinary PH & Diet - PART ONE - Dogs

Urinary PH & Diet PART ONE (Dogs)We can tell a lot about both the health and diet of a dog from urinary PH. Dogs have zero nutritional need for carbohydrates and thrive on meat based diets, there are some health conditions that will have a significant impact on these macronutrient proportions and PH ranges but a healthy dog should have a urinary PH between 6-6.5 leaning in the acid range. However dogs fed conventional diets will have a higher PH range due to the increase in alkalizing foods - often between a 7-7.5. Although this isn’t IDEAL, it’s normal on kibbles and canned foods or even fresh diets with an overwhelming amount of carbohydrates. FOLLOW ALONG FOR PART 2 and 3 - In part 2 we will discuss which foods can cause acidity and which are alkalizing. In part 3 I’ll be sharing PH results following diet changes and how impactful your pets water source can be as well.IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR PETS URINARY HEALTH ALWAYS CONTACT YOUR VETERINARIAN! We offer custom nutrition counseling for both healthy dogs and those requiring specialized health diets. Nutrition Counseling is impactful but it does not replace veterinary care. We aim to aid your pet’s health with functional food therapy and support normal bodily processes which should be paired with regular veterinary care!ABalancedCanine.net/nutrition-counseling••••#pethealth #doghealthtips #healthydogsarehappydogs #dognutritionist #pethealthadvice #hua #dalmatianlover

Are you making this mistake when training your dog? Cheech is a 6 month old Goldendoodle pup! One of the primary focuses with him is teaching him how to relax and be neutral. Here I’m demonstrating one of the most common mistakes I see when people are training their dogs, their communication lacks variation…. Your charged markers can vary to match the situation! His positive marker is already charged, he knows a reward is coming, and in this instance I don’t want to cause arousal, I don’t want to amp him up - I am reinforcing his relaxed state of mind - if you don’t think you can reinforce a state of mind, simply watch the end of this video.At the end of this video for demonstration purposes, I show what happens when your reward DOESN’T match the situation. You can watch as my excited body language and tone completely disrupts his current state of mind. This same rule applies to your negative markers as well, the consequence can vary to match the situation and environment. For example; a correction given if my dog is running into the street or trying to jump on an elderly person or child is going to be MUCH different than a correction given in a setting like this with minimal distractions - which here you can see if simply a bit of leash pressure for guidance.••••• #dogtrainersoffb #dogbehaviormodification #pettraining #dogtrainingtip #balanceddog #balanceddogtrainer
