⭐️ Thunderstorm season is upon us, and firework season is fast approaching. Keep an eye on this page to learn how to help your pets stay safe and comfortable during this noisy time of year. ⭐️

🐾 All animals need a place where they feel safe and can decompress. A safe zone is a special new area we'll create together for your dog. 🏠

🔇 The important aspects of the safe zone are that it provides a place that:

Avoids sensory overload 🚫🔊
Relatively quiet 🤫
Minimizes smells/odors – if you can smell it (e.g., household cleaners), then it is likely overwhelming for the dog. 🌬️
Not too bright, no flashing lights, no shiny or reflective surfaces 🚫💡
Creates predictability 🔄
This is your dog's space to get away from stressful stimuli 🐶
A place your dog can choose to go to if he or she wants a break from activity 🐾
Gives them quiet time to recover from stress (a key for developing resilience) 💤
Minimizes talking, petting, or training 🙅‍♂️🐕

Urine Test Detects Cancer in Dogs With Astonishing Accuracy 🙌

While several blood tests are available to detect canine cancer, they’re only around 60% accurate and can be expensive. Fortunately, a group of Virginia Tech researchers developed an inexpensive urinalysis with a 92.7% overall accuracy rate for detecting bladder cancer. 🐕🔍

Access to noninvasive diagnostic tests can help improve treatment outcomes. It may benefit high-risk breeds, such as golden retrievers, boxers, Scottish terriers, and German shepherds.

Head over to today’s free article (link in the comments) to learn more about the test and researchers’ findings. 💛

A chemical used in Milk-Bones, Ol’Roy, Kibbles’n Bits, Hill’s Pet Food and other pet foods should no longer be considered safe for consumption due to concerns about its ability to damage DNA,🧬 according to a recent animal-model study.

A chemical that may damage our pet's DNA should NOT be fed to pets.😡

This is one of the many reasons why we created easy-to-make additive-free versions of these popular treats in our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE! And, of course, you’ll also find loads of toppers and balanced meal recipes for your beloveds - with no unsafe food additives in sight!

ROUNDUP REMOVER!⚠️

Replace those harmful chemical-based lawn products that negatively impact your pet’s health with this DIY W**d Remover on page 257 of our new book The Forever Dog LIFE.

In 2019 scientists concluded that exposure to herbicides can increase the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans by 41%!☠️ And while we can read the “keep off” signs after applying it, our dogs are not only rolling on it, they are nibbling, digging and smelling those DNA-damaging molecules every day; herbicides can remain active in the soil up to 6 months or longer.🧪

Several studies have confirmed the link between herbicide-treated lawns and cancer in dogs. Dogs whose owners have had their lawns professionally treated have a 70% higher risk of lymphoma, and the lymphoma risk goes even higher for dogs whose owners applied insecticides to their outside spaces 😱.

🥦Food and nutrition aren't the only factors for your animals to live a long and healthy life, environment plays an equally important role!🏡 This is why the second half of our book is called THE FOREVER HOME, because it teaches you how to make your home (and yard) as healthy as possible, with easy hacks and recipes to create your own non-toxic cleaner and lawn care solutions.
