Do you know what to do if your dog is choking ?

Just like children do not have a ball small enough to get caught in their throat. But more importantly know how to save them if the unthinkable happens.

Dogs are inquisitive creatures and often try eating things they shouldn't! This can lead to them choking, which isn't only worrying, but can also be extremely dangerous. Choking occurs when something gets stuck in the back of the throat and blocks the airway. When the airway is partially blocked, th...

Please don’t allow your dogs to get over weight. You are slowly killing them.

Did you know your pet’s body condition score (BCS) is just as important as their yearly checkup?
Keeping your dog or cat at an ideal BCS helps prevent obesity-related health issues like diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. A healthy weight means more years of play, companionship, and joy with your best friend.

Please, please watch what you feed your dogs. With DCM and now stones. I currently feed Eukanuba mixed with Inukshuk. My puppies get Royal Canin Medium breed or Royal Canin Golden Retriever puppy formula and go home on it. Please do not change foods on your puppy before they are 1 year old. There is a reason we feed the foods we do.

I only recommend these four food brands to my puppy homes.

Purina
Royal Canin
Eukanuba
Iams

Dr. Joshua Stern is currently doing a Golden Retriever only study to determine why Goldens are dying young from taurine-deficient dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Most of the other dog foods are gaining protein from legumes instead of meat. Our dogs are suffering because of this. It is a recent development due to dog food companies not doing clinical feeding trials before their products go on the market. I have included the link to the study below.

UPDATE:
Good afternoon, it appears the intention of this post was misunderstood. The intention of this post was to inform our clients that a new stone was found and could be linked to a certain compound ( choline bitartrate). This compound is found in supplements as well as some foods. It was not intended to make it sound like a common issue or a reason for you to switch your pet's food without talking with your veterinarian. Thank you for all who kindly commented, clearing up some of these concerns. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us or your family veterinarian.

BREAKING NEWS -- use caution when feeding your dog fresh food from brands such as The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom⚠️

The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Urolith Center has discovered a NEW urinary stone and the likely cause🔬
The UMN Urolith Center is the laboratory we use for all bladder stone analysis that are conducted for HAH patients and we recently received notification of this new information.

These new stones are called "calcium tartrate tetrahydrate" (CTT) uroliths according to Dr. Lulich (co-director of UMN Urolith Center). Canine patients get "choline bitartrate" (the main compound in CTT uroliths) from fresh dog food and supplements recommended for dogs that eat homemade food.
The data collected by Dr. Lulich and his team showed a link between choline bitartrate found in some of the most popular fresh dog food brands -- including The Farmers Dog, JustFoodForDogs and Nom Nom -- and the newly discovered CTT uroliths.

This discovery was published in April 2025 in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.

Please read. Golden Retrievers can and do bloat. A lot if time by the time you realize what’s going on it can be too late.

BLOAT
Know the signs

Bloat (GDV) is a life-threatening emergency that if not treated immediately is fatal.

Deep chested breeds like Standard Poodles are at higher risk but this can happen in any breed of dog.

⚠️ Signs to watch for:

▪️Sudden swollen or hard belly

▪️Trying to vomit but nothing comes out

▪️Restlessness, pacing, or inability to settle

▪️Excessive drooling

▪️Collapse or weakness

Ask your vet about gastropexy surgery.

If you suspect bloat, go to the vet right away. Minutes matter.
