New Kefir🥛🦠 Canine Study Highlights:

🫙 Kefir is a traditional dairy product with multiple probiotic characteristics that boosts the immunity and overall gastrointestinal health of animals.

🫙 Dietary supplementation of kefir improved protein digestibility of food and reduced serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

🫙 Kefir reduced faecal ammonia and increased SCFAs.

🫙 Kefir could be further developed as a functional dietary food supplement to improve the quality of life of dogs.

This week on the Inside Scoop, we’re discussing our favorite must-have home remedies, rather than reaching for over-the-counter medicated treatments.

If you’ve been a pet parent long enough, you’ve faced unexpected problems like morning “hunger” pukes, runny stools, or itchy hot spots.

First, your vet should always be the first person you call when your furry beloved isn’t feeling well or shows unusual symptoms! Often times, though, our pets have common ailments that don’t always require a rush to the vet (and having the right products, foods, or herbs at home can help your pet recover quickly!).
Join us this Sunday at 12pm EST, where we’ll share Dr. Karen Becker’s must-have pantry staples for quick and easy remedies to common pet ailments, including:

🤢 Upset stomachs & bile pukes
💩 Loose stool & diarrhea
🙉 Ye**ty, itchy ears
🧴 Hot spots & itchy skin
👁 Eye infections..and much more!

Comment SCOOPERS and we’ll message you the link to join Inside Scoop, a Planet Paws monthly subscription group. Watch our weekly Live podcast post get access to over 5 years of content including: past live podcasts, interviews, ebook downloads, and ask your questions in our members-only Q&As!

You don’t want to miss these helpful tips to keep your pets feeling their best with some easy staples you'll want to have in your pantry.

P.S. - MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The following Sunday, Feb 23rd we'll be holding Part 3 of our Annual Pet Food Review series! Covering your popular brands of Freeze-Dried, Canned, and Toppers. You can still watch our first 2 setments on Dry and Gently Cooked Pet Dog Food in The Inside Scoop!

NO UNWANTED LITTERS, we all agree with that goal; it's the surgical technique that should be reevaluated. Hysterectomy and vasectomy can be performed as early as 8 weeks of age with no negative side effects, rendering dogs sterile AND hormonally balanced.

What is H5N1?
H5N1, commonly known as avian influenza A or bird flu, is a highly pathogenic strain of influenza virus that primarily affects birds, but cases have recently been reported in wildlife, cattle, cats, and humans.

What do we know about the latest outbreak?
Recently H5N1 influenza cases have been reported in cats that have consumed contaminated commercial raw food diets, unpasteurized milk, or had contact with wild birds and cattle.

Precautions:
Consider discontinuing your pet’s raw diet. Even if their raw food is human grade, frozen, or freeze dried, this does not prevent the potential spread of pathogenic bacteria, parasites, or H5N1 that may be present in the food. Consider cooking your pet’s raw food and/or consulting your veterinarian about diet change.
Limit your pet’s access to wild birds that may be carrying the virus and avoid giving them raw milk.

What are the symptoms to watch out for in our pets?
Clinical signs in pets may include the following:
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Fever
• Neurologic signs (ataxia, circling, tremors, seizures, sudden blindness)
• Copious oculonasal discharge
• Difficulty breathing
We recommend seeking veterinary care if your pet shows any of these signs. If they are having any life-threatening symptoms (neurologic signs, seizures, difficulty breathing, or collapse) seek veterinary care immediately.

Can this cause illness in humans?
Yes, H5N1 can cause illness in humans. Current human infections have been linked to contact with infected cattle and wild birds. There is no current evidence of human to human transmission.

What is being done?
The CDC, FDA and USDA are closely monitoring cases as they develop. One voluntary product recall has been issued for contaminated raw food diets for cats & dogs. We are continuing to monitor this emerging virus.

🚨 Xylitol: The 2nd Most Common Pet Poison 🚨

Xylitol is a low-glycemic sugar substitute found in many everyday products, and it's highly toxic to pets. ⚠️ From 2015 to 2020, xylitol poisoning cases in pets surged by 108% 📈, making xylitol the second most common pet poison, right behind chocolate.

🐕 In dogs, xylitol poisoning can cause a rapid drop in blood sugar, leading to loss of consciousness and seizures. High doses can trigger liver failure within hours or days. 💔

Head over to today’s free article (linked in the comments ⬇️) to learn more about the dangers of xylitol to pets.
