Another reason to feed fresh or freeze dried food that is minimally processed.

"Our research indicated that dogs fed a non-processed meat-based diet during the weaning period, puppyhood, and adolescence, which corresponds to the age range of 1 month to 1 or 1.5 years, were associated with a significantly lower risk of developing DC later in life. Conversely, dogs consumed an ultra-processed carbohydrate-based diet during the same periods was associated with a significantly higher risk (p = 0.01, p = 0.001, and p = 0.02 for weaning, puppyhood, and adolescence, respectively). Additionally, residing with other dogs was significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of DC development later in life (p = 0.015). Moreover, from the non-modifiable factors model, a maternal history of DC and small size of the dog were strongly associated with an increased risk of DC development later in life."

Oh Walter! Is he just not the cutest thing? He is staying here until his family comes to get him on Sunday. He is rocking crate training, sleeping through the night, and getting to know his new name- when we call him, it’s “Walter, come”! He comes running for the treat reinforcement that he gets- if it gets rewarded, it gets repeated. Puppies at this age are little learning sponges… and so much fun!

Maggie (Miss Pink) went home this weekend. Her parents are very familiar with the ALD, bringing their first to the US in the early 2000’s from Rutland Manor in Australia. To say we are honored that a Lucky Dood is joining their family could be an understatement! Maggie, we have no doubt you will live a full well loved life! You are a very Lucky Dood, indeed!!! ❤️🐾
