I saw some information the other day indicating that mushrooms are genetically more closely related to humans than they are plants. Interesting Stuff... but obviously leads us to wonder if that has anything to do with their effects on cancer.... at any rate - mushrooms are good for your dogs!

Mushrooms are more closely related to humans than plants:

DNA: Humans and mushrooms share nearly 50% of their DNA. Mushrooms also have genetic characteristics that plants don't, like storing carbohydrate energy as glycogen, using chitin to build cell walls, and producing vitamin D in sunlight.

Evolution: Fungi, which mushrooms are part of, split from animals 9 million years after plants, and molecular evidence shows they're more closely related to animals. Fungi and animals share a clade called opisthokonta, which is named after a posterior flagellum in their last common ancestor. This flagellum propels both primitive fungal spores and animal s***m.

Other similarities: Some fungi can move or crawl, which no plant can do but humans can.

🍄 CANCER HATES MUSHROOMS 🐾

This was the conclusion of Pennsylvania State University researchers who analyzed mushroom consumption on cancer risk, involving 19,500 patients.

The subjects with the highest mushroom consumption - (2/3 of an ounce of mushrooms daily) - had a 45% lower risk of developing cancer.

Another study by Bastyr University, conducted on a group of dogs with an aggressive cancer (hemangiosarcoma), found that feeding a Turkey Tail mushroom supplement extended lifespan by over 50%! While more research needs to be done on mushrooms, these findings are incredibly exciting for dog lovers!

Sadly, most of us who’ve had dogs have been touched by evil C-word.

CANCER KILLS HALF OF ALL DOGS. This fact is absolutely stunning and in recent years the trend is only getting worse.

When I began reading the research around mushrooms and cancer, I started giving my 13 year old husky a mushroom supplement daily. She lived and thrived until age 18, and while I can’t prove the supplement extended her lifespan, I believe it had a major impact. We certainly cannot yet say that mushrooms treat cancer, but there is sufficient evidence to say they greatly support the immune system of both dogs and humans.

If you’d like to learn more about the mushroom supplement I gave my 18 year old dog, and the one we recommend here at iHeartDogs, click the link below. https://social.iheartdogs.com/pages/bone-broth-mushroom?utm_source=FB-Ad_HatesMushroomsLPIMG1&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=FB-Ad_HatesMushroomsLPIMG1

I wish many more happy years for you and your fur babies!

P.S. - In case anyone is wondering, all mushrooms that are safe for humans to eat are safe for dogs!

Far too many people believe that your training can wait until he's older, or you have more time, or until you see real problems starting... Training isn't easier, cheaper, or less time consuming then.

Your dog changes, grows, develops, and behavior becomes practiced, ingrained and challenging.

The puppy you got that loves everything might not love everything as an adult - so picking out a puppy, and expecting that dog will never change - that's just not true. Coaching your dog throughout it's life is often necessary and always beneficial.

Here's one more reason why crate-training is a great idea!!
(These dogs did have a dog door and escaped injury). However, unsupervised dogs - even the best of them - can get into trouble in a big house all alone. Crate Train Your Dogs!!

This is a screenshot of just ONE of the multitude of rescue organizations in my area for a week.... That is double the number of requests to surrender dogs than applications for them to be adopted.

When did dogs become such a disposable commodity?

I became a dog trainer, because of rescue - to help people find ways to stop problems that lead to rehoming. It starts with education - yours and your pup's. Come learn how to raise your puppy in a way that will prevent problems from becoming unmanageable.

Puppy Class is starting August 13th at Brookpark in Lewisburg.

I was just lamenting how I wish people would consult a trainer before adopting a dog for so many reasons that are so hard for people to fix.... but did you know there's a course for that?!

If you are thinking of adopting a dog (or another dog) (or your kids are asking for a dog).... consider taking this course first. I think it might just help a lot of people and dogs....

Dogs enrich our lives. Whether you have a dog now or are about to adopt your first, Adopting a Dog will ease your search and prepare you to enjoy the companionship of your new friend to the fullest!

Get on any Littermate Raising group and this is a common thread - this does not happen ‘suddenly’ or ‘out of the blue’ - it’s been building for a while. Now, in adulthood, the dog feels the capability to deal with it as an adult - but this can easily be prevented - don’t get littermates.

In another dog training group, and this blog came up as a good resource for people raising littermates....

I typically recommend that you just don't - so I read it for the 'tips' on how to raise littermates successfully. Ah, yes, all of this is exactly what I tell clients. Most won't do 1/2 of this. But if you're raising littermates - read it. It's all good information.

Now I know there are those of you out there who will preach that you raised littermates and they are perfect - maybe, I don't know and I don't know what you did to achieve that. But of the ones that I know - and I know quite a few - I would still say they should have been raised individually.

2020 Update! This blog has become one of the most viewed on our site, and the request for more detailed help raising siblings have been pouring in. To help meet that need we have developed an e learning course devoted to best practices for raising sibling puppies or puppies of similar age. Sibling S...

I get the harness, but he makes a good point.
For the love of all things dog - please, please stop with the fake service dog vests. It's wrong on so many levels.
