If you feed your pet Hill’s Prescription Pet food you might want to read this and be aware

The plaintiffs asserted that Hill’s prescription diet was not legally obligated to be sold with a prescription, which allegedly rendered the representations made by Hill’s as false.

We talk to more and more clients whose dogs have allergy issues.

Good info for those who are wisely trying to avoid using pharmaceuticals to get relief for their dog

🌊 Here's a mouthful for you - fucoidan and alginate. These polysaccharides present in brown seaweed have been under the microscope, and the findings are promising.

From the same family, carotenoids - fucoxanthin, fucoxanthinol, and meroterpenoids - found in brown seaweed have shown potential in managing immune responses and inflammation. It appears that these colorful compounds could play a vital role in preventing and treating inflammation-related diseases.

Meat...add real, raw meat to your dog's diet...worry less about grains versus no grains and supplement in some REAL MEAT!

🥩🐟🥛 DCM & GRAIN-FREE

In my experience, dogs and cats do best on a high meat diet. Especially when we speak about cases of heart disease, meat is an invaluable source of many nutrients, but taurine is especially important for the heart. Taurine is absent in cereal grains.

They can’t put more than about 20% meat into kibble formulation, it won’t go through the manufacturing process. My diets are 70-85% meat/bone/organ for dogs and 90-95% meat/bone/organ for cats.

For cats: https://drjudymorgan.com/blogs/recipes/how-to-make-cat-food

The drastic difference in meat content between my diets and kibble is one reason why I don’t have any kibble recommendations for you. The process involves high heat, subpar ingredients, and way too many carbohydrates. If you feed kibble, you can top it with raw meat from the grocery store (chicken, pork, beef, sardines, eggs, etc.) to boost the nutrition.

Whether your breed is predisposed to DCM or not, a species appropriate, high meat, high moisture diet will serve your cat or dog best.

Do you have an aging dog? This is a good read about how important appropriate food, physical activity and coconut oil added to their food can be and why.

The risk for doggy dementia increases 52% with each passing year, and the risk is higher in certain groups of dogs. Taking action now with these dietary and supplement changes and taking these steps to increase physical activity and mental stimulation can help safeguard your pet's brain.

The tough decision on our restructuring has been made...

Rob will be starting his own training business, Sacred Bond Dog Training, and is gearing up to start taking training clients. You can reach him at [email protected]," rel="ugc" target="_blank">[email protected], or by calling the Woof facility line that will be transferred to his cell.

Tracy will be taking a little downtime, then moving back to Florida for a great opportunity in Central Florida and will be doing some private training, sitting and walking on the side.

Thanks to all our wonderful clients and their pups....we will miss you all!

When you are both a horse lover and a dog lover you sometimes have a dilemma when you have to split your time between your dog and your horse...

😉UNLESS...

you take time and put in the effort to train them both to behave nicely around each other and respect each other!

Look closely behind Roin (the horse) and you will see Truman (the dog) in a down-stay...while Roin is eating...

Congrats Patty! You started Truman's dog obedience training at a young age, taught him how to behave around horses so he could spend time doing something he loved to do...be with you and the horses...

We are proud of you all! Keep up the great work! Thanks Fran for sharing this impressive photo.

A kind soul stopped by with a dog they picked up running loose on Emma’s Grove last night in hopes we had a call about a lost dog.

He does not have a tag or microchip unfortunately.

Male, friendly and squirmy, looks to be fairly young and is still intact (unneutered).

If you recognize this dog please call Martin Steiner 828-243-5962

We appreciate you guys!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the customer appreciation get together today. It was special to have this great group of owners and their dogs together…both the dogs and their humans got some socialization time 😁 and the food! As always everyone outdid themselves. Thank you all 🥰

This was meant for humans but it’s so applicable to the nervous, anxious dogs we are increasingly seeing more and more of in the training community too.

Addressing anxiety head on and learning how to cope, deal with it and how to overcome it makes humans and dogs much stronger than just wallowing in it day after day and giving in to it!

Run into it.

Don’t run away from it.

It’s best if others go with you - I almost never recommend someone go alone.

But know this: to truly heal from anxiety, you have to head into the fire. Towards the things that set off your body’s alarms.

You have to be honest about the changes you need to make. The relationships you need to end or begin.

You will probably have to clean up your finances and reconsider your work.

And count on it being painful.

But on the other side of pain...

Is peace.

And you’ll be free.

You’re worth the adventure.

Head in.

We ❤️ getting texts and pictures of our clients out enjoying life with dogs, showing off the benefits of training and all their hard work!

Jill and her service dog Luna were showing off and getting lots of compliments on how well Luna did at the Floyd Yoga Jam festival over Labor Day weekend. Some of the classes had 150+ people in class. Some of the classes had people dancing and coming right up to Luna's back, and even had drums coming right up to her and she did not budge or get spooked by the people, the music or the sounds.

If you want to see Luna in action, Jill teaches yoga at Black Mountain Yoga studio. You should check out one of her classes and see Luna in action for yourself. She's a great service dog!

Way to go Jill and Luna!
