🤔 Considering adopting another dog?
Remember, there are pros and cons to every adoption, but here are a few reasons multiples make sense!

🐶 Dogs can be companions to each other, which can help prevent them from taking their boredom and separation anxiety out on your couch cushions.
🐶 They also help each other burn off some of that excess zoomie energy 💨
🐶 Dogs that live together have to learn to get along, which provides more opportunity to reinforce healthy social behaviors.

🍄 Mushrooms can have a wide range of health benefits for dogs, including regulating blood pressure, treating arthritis, cancer; improving heart health, and more.

But ... mushrooms are expensive to grow and mature on natural substrates like wood. To make mushrooms cheaper, you can just grow the mycelium (roots) in bags of oats, sorghum or other grains. The problem is, you end of with a bag of grains and very little mushroom.

In fact, the FDA even states you can't sell mycelium as mushrooms because it's different.

So how can you tell the difference between real, whole mushrooms and mycelium?

Ask for the beta-glucan content. Whole mushrooms contain much more of the beneficial beta-glucan than mycelium and they're low in starch.

Better yet, try Four Leaf Rover's 7 mushroom blend. They 3rd party test their mushrooms and guarantee a consistently high beta-glucan content:

Beta-Glucan Content:
Turkey Tail - 53%
Reishi - 47%
Cordyceps - 27%
Maitake - 36%
Phellinus - 23%
Shiitake - 32%
Chaga - 16%

Never buy your dog mushrooms without asking for the beta-glucan content ... your dog deserves the real deal, not a cheap poser.

Before walking on the snow or ice, rub some paw balm on your dog's paws. This will minimize the dry skin and damage salt can cause. Make sure to reapply the balm after returning from walks. Having paw balm on hand is a good way to keep their paws soft and supple during the cold months.

If you live near a dog-friendly lake or beach, or you have a backyard pool, you should definitely encourage your dog to join you for a swim. But before letting your pup jump in the deep end, you will need to give her a few basic doggy swimming lessons first, especially if she has never been swimming before

Many dog breeds cannot swim. These include pugs, French bulldogs, dachshunds, greyhounds, hairless Chinese crested, Shih Tzu, and basset hounds. Their inability to swim depends on various factors. In some cases, these dogs cannot swim because they are too heavy
