Happy holidays to all!

We celebrated Halo’s birthday this weekend. She started with a course of lobster (saved from Thanksgiving lol) and a healthy dog birthday cake! It ended with her very happy and I would say food coma🤣🎂

Halo received wonderful gifts from our "Gift Buddies" Tonya Wilhelm and Her hansome boy Dexter. This wonderful licky mat has definately been Halo Approved! A little Kefir (goat) with a little broccoli, with orange and yellow peppers for the win!

OMG it’s so hot! Little Halo reacts to the heat! It’s 70 degrees in here and the fan is blowing on her!

Meal prepped for 8 days! I will still give her yummy treats including veggies, fruit, and fish. She also gets chicken paws or a raw bone here and there during the week. When available I give her quail eggs with the shell and she does get chicken eggs on the weekend. She eats pretty darn good!

Very busy preparing fish skins for an order and for Halo! There is a mixture of Canadian Walleye and Canadian Lake Trout, (caught by me!) and wild caught salmon purchased. Yummy! My little sous chef, Halo was by my side every moment and got some yummy treats! She approved.

The benefits of garlic!

GARLIC. YES. NO. 🐶🐱🧄

Honestly, when it comes to anything regarding your pets, it's up to you. Don't feel pressured to go with what one person says. Take that information as a starting point and do your own research and do what feels right for you and your pet. 🐶🐱

When Dexter's holistic, physical therapy vet suggested adding garlic (2012) I was a bit freaked out. I did not add it at that time. I just wasn't sure. And she was a new vet to us. As I continued to learn and do research, I decided it was something I could add to Dexter's life. That said, I'm still a firm believer in rotation and moderation. There really aren't too many things I give Dexter day in and day out. 🐶

🧄Now, garlic took its “toxic to pets” stance ages ago when a study was done that involved giving dogs massive amounts of garlic.

When garlic is chopped, it releases a sulfur known as allicin which provides us with some amazing health benefits. The allicin is also responsible for that garlic smell. The best benefits are to chop and smash the garlic and allow the allicin to activate for about 10 minutes. Then feed. I chop Dexter's then take him for his morning potty break.

🧄A few precautions. Anytime your dog is on medication, it is important to speak with their holistic veterinarian before adding any supplements and herbals. Pregnant dogs and puppies under 6 months and possibly Akitas and Shiba should avoid garlic.

🧄Approximate Dose of Fresh, Organic Garlic: 5 pounds 1/8 tsp, 6-10 pounds ¼ tsp, 11-15 pounds ½ tsp, 16-20 pounds ¾ tsp, 21-30 pounds 1 tsp, 31-50 pounds 1 ½ tsp and 51 + pounds 2 tsp

Halo was looking for her fresh wheat grass, parsley, and cilantro lol! She’s never done this before. She did remove a garlic clove lol! Did you you know that garlic is safe for your dogs, contrary to popular beliefs! It’s confusing, I know! It is so good for their immune system, liver boost, digestive tract, fights bacterial, viral, and fungal infection, works as a flea and tick repellent, and so much more. Moderation and amount given are key. If you’re dog has a health issue, please consult with your veterinarian and canine nutritionist before adding garlic to their diet.
