💦 Sharing again because I think it's super important! 💦

Adding liquids to your dogs kibble is important in helping them stay hydrated, especially with summer weather hot on our heels! 🥵

Not every dog likes soaked kibble (Halo refuses to touch her food if I add water) and that's okay! You can try adding ice cubes if this is the case.

Remember to always have water accessible, whether your dog enjoys soaked kibble or not. All of my dogs have their own pails kept filled with fresh water in their kennels to ensure they have water available at all times. This also makes it easy for me to know who is drinking water (and how much) and who isn't.

Stay hydrated! 😁

💦 HYDRATION 💦

Hydrating your dog is something so simple but it's actually so overlooked and most people don't think about hydrating when it comes to meal times.

If your dog is eating a kibble diet, they are more prone to dehydration. This is because the dry kibble requires moisture for digestion. When your dog is not adequately hydrated, the body pulls water from the internal organs to digest the kibble and this can lead to the state of mild dehydration. Even if they are drinking throughout the day, the digestion process pulls water from their system after eating.

One of the best and easiest thing you can do as a kibble feeder is HYDRATE YOUR DOGS FOOD!

Adding water to kibble softens it for digestion and hydrates your dog's body systems.

Great options to hydrate kibble include
💧Filtered Water
💧Coconut Water
💧Bone Broth
💧Goat's Milk
💧Decaffeinated Green Tea (aids in cancer prevention)

Quick Tip - you can freeze all of the above in trays or silicone molds and then pop out a cube or two and melt with hot water at meal time!

*Always give your dog access to fresh water at all times

*Always rest your dog after eating any meal. Never exercise your dog immediately after eating due to risk of bloat.

Due to some unfortunate circumstances this good looking 2.5 year old German shepherd boy is looking for a new home. He needs a dominant male figure in his life. He could be a great working dog or just companion for someone that will take the time to work with him. He is best suited as the only dog in the home and definitely no cats. A rehoming fee and approved home will apply.

Hi Matt! I haven't contacted you since training with Raven. You popped into my mind and I wanted you to know how pleased I am with Raven. She is still a little independent but over all does great. So I just wanted you to know. Hope all is well-Lena Fox 😃
