FINALLY a more mainstream, traditional veterinary source is speaking up about what the holistic world has recognized for some time. We should be asking WHEN is the right time to spay/neuter based on age, s*x and breed and not assuming that across-the-board early surgical intervention does not come without serious risks.

Patient age at the time of surgery may influence health issues later in life. Review all the necessary considerations of gonadectomy before and after maturity.

Green bananas🍌 can prevent and reduce cancers by over 60%, according to the American Association of Cancer Research, so maybe stop hunting for those yellow bananas in the supermarket!

You can boost your dog’s immune and gut health with unripe, green bananas, which have less sugar and more fiber than in their ripened state. Research shows that green bananas offer:

🍌Pectin and prebiotics to build the microbiome and increase the production of butyrate and other short-chain fatty acids

🍌Leucocyanidin, a flavonoid that may help to prevent GI ulcers by inhibiting the release of histamine in the gut

🍌Resistant starch (non-digestible) fiber that helps to prevent intestinal disease, increase mineral absorption and B vitamin synthesis, control blood sugar, improve immune response, and may even prevent intestinal c*ncer

Need a treat for a dog with a sensitive stomach?

Quartered slices of green banana are a perfect training treat, whether your dog is prone to diarrhea or not. Suggested amounts, chopped into bite sized pieces:

Giant breeds: 1 green banana a day
Medium to large breeds: ½ green banana a day
Small breeds: ¼ green banana a day

In Chapter 3 titled TREATS and TOPPERS of The Forever Dog LIFE, we give you a rainbow 🌈 of options to treat your dog to better health including recipes that use bananas in a creative way and baking options like green banana flour that is a low glycemic healthier alternative to plain white flour! Now available in bookstores.

🦟Using flea and tick chemicals on dogs and cats is sometimes unavoidable, as is walking your dog on grass or parkways that have been chemically treated. So, during summer chemical exposure, it’s wise to provide a detoxification protocol to help your pet’s organs clear these chemical residues from their bodies. 🐾

Animals eliminate pesticide and herbicide residues via detoxification, a natural process of removing waste products and toxins from the body. 5 organs are important for detoxification; the colon, skin, lungs, kidneys, and liver. Your animal’s liver is crucial for metabolizing flea and tick pharmaceuticals.

Today on the Inside Scoop, we’re diving into essential supplements💊🌿 that support chemical detoxification.

Join us this today at 12pm ET as we share practical tips, insights and download our 2024 Summertime Detox Cheat Sheet to help you keep your pets healthy and toxin-free this summer.

Ditch the Peanut Butter! 🥜🚫

Peanut butter may be a popular treat, but it's not safe. Here are some of the toxic problems lurking in peanut butter:

AFLATOXIN: The most carcinogenic naturally-occurring substance known to man … and dog. The highest levels are found in freshly-ground rather than processed peanut butter.

HARMFUL FATS: Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils create trans fats … and they’ve been linked to chronic inflammation.

SUGAR: It leads to yeast, and feeds bacteria, parasites and cancer … and leads to eating more which is the stepping stone to weight gain and diabetes … for you and your dog.

XYLITOL: This artificial sweetener is used in peanut butter to cut calories … but it’s deadly to dogs.

UNBALANCED FATS: Peanut butter is high in inflammatory omega-6 fats … as much as 178 times more than omega-3s … and inflammation can lead to allergies and joint disease.

GLYPHOSATE: It’s been identified by the World Health Organization as a probable carcinogen. It’s sprayed on peanut crops before harvest and absorbed into the crop … so you can’t wash it off.

LECTINS: These anti-nutrients block absorption of vitamins, minerals, and important proteins, and interfere with digestive enzymes … robbing your dog of nutrition.

The World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA)🏥 has just announced their new spay & neuter guidelines.🙀 Due to growing evidence of adverse health effects of traditional gonadectomy (spay/neuter) and increases in cancers and joint disorders, WSAVA suggest the best practice for RESPONSIBLE pet parents is to leave dogs and cats unaltered (intact). Additionally noting, spaying or neutering a dog younger than 6 months of age is NOT recommended because of an increase of detrimental health risks. Acknowledging in some circumstances, such as rescues and shelters, where leaving an animal intact is not an option, they stress the importance of education and acceptance of newer, alternative sterilization techniques that have less long-term health concerns. 🙌

Discussing these alternative techniques and the pro’s and con’s today, plus much more in the Inside Scoop.

Sharing for my friend and colleague, Hana. Her Grief Workshop is an almost undefinable experience for those of us nearing the end of our journey with our pets. If you have a pet in that situation, please consider joining her course so that you can gain a new perspective on what is happening, and so that you can find a way through the emotions that invariably arise. I participated in her Beta test for this course as I was walking my heart and soul dog on her final path. I don't think I would have survived it without Hana's guidance and support. There really are no words to adequately describe the value of walking through this experience with complete presence, understanding and support she and the group offers. It has completely changed my views on what is possible. ♥

Anticipatory grief, pet grief, pet loss,

Facing a pet’s end of life is hard and scary and most people don’t want to face it.

I get it.

Before I became an Animal End-of-Life Communicator and Grief Specialist supporting pet parents, I was the same. I wanted to avoid talking about their end-of-life. Honestly, I was even scared that if I talked about it, it meant it would happen sooner. I learned that wasn’t true.

Here is the truth, it is going to happen, and you can’t stop or prevent it.

But you can prepare for it and begin to explore your fears and worries in a safe environment. Have a safe place to ask the questions you have been afraid to ask, find other pet parents going through the same, and not feel alone anymore.

All your fears and worries are valid, but I’ll tell you a secret: If you find someone to share your worries with and are witnessed in how you feel, you find inner resilience and courage to walk this journey with your pet with more love, and you connect even deeper with them than you ever thought possible.

Join my waitlist to reserve your spot for my July Workshop. Discover how you can move through your fears and worries, find purpose and peace, and love your pet more than you thought possible. There is a different way to walk this challenging time.

Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart. ~Bruce Coville

In the depths of a dog's eyes, there dwells a soul that spans the bridge between the primal and the divine, a spirit both earthbound and ethereal. This powerful spirit, emerging from the mist like an apparition, carries the ancient wisdom of the forest in its heart, the quiet understanding of the mountains in its restful pauses. Within him resides the magic of unspoken promises, the kind that ripple through our lives like the gentle touch of a ghostly paw upon our souls. As a silhouette against the canvas of creation, he is a guardian of our deepest secrets, a silent witness to the unseen forces that move within us all. It is in this noble form that the universe conspires to show us the beauty of simplicity, the strength in vulnerability, and the boundless capacity for love that beats within the canine heart.
