Bentley came in for his first haircut at six months old. He was so good for his first time. Lots of kisses and love nibbles and chewing on Rachae’s ponytail. Sometimes a puppy’s first experience can bring you so much joy, that’s certainly not always the case. So adorable.

STUDY REVEALS THE PRICE OF A GORGEOUS GREEN CHEMICALLY TREATED LAWN🏡 IS A 70% UPTICK IN THE RATE OF CANINE CANCER🔥🐾

Treating your lawn with yard chemicals☠️, allowing your pet to eat or play on grass that’s been sprayed💦, or walking your pet on golf courses⛳️ can negatively affect our dog’s health, according to several studies. In fact, it can impact your entire family, as pets can bring those chemicals back inside!

Dogs whose owners have had their lawns professionally treated have a 70% higher risk of lymphoma, the most common canine cancer 😱.

Here are some scary stats from the studies:

• 76% of dogs tested had herbicide residues in their urine following home lawn chemical application.

• 8 days after application, residues on dog fur were 14 X higher than normal.

• Pets track lawn chemicals into the home, leaving them on the floor or furniture which can end up in you & your children.

• According to researchers, even if you don’t use lawn chemicals be aware of your neighbour’s lawn as wind can cause herbicides to travel up to 50 feet away from the application site.

Our NEW book, The Forever Dog LIFE, focuses on how to raise the healthiest, happiest, long-lived dogs and cats, and in it we teach you how to evaluate your dog’s indoor and outdoor environmental chemical exposure⚠️. We offer you tips like:

• Safer lawn-care options
• DIY non-toxic w**d killer recipes
• Forever Dog Paw Soak Recipe for after walks in parks
And much, much more.

This resource is crucial this summer if you have pets spending time outdoors because even if you don’t use lawn chemicals, it doesn’t mean your dog isn’t being exposed.

The Forever Dog Life is available now for pre-order all over the globe! www.ForeverDogLife.com

These are just a few of the EASY broth recipes🍵 you’ll find in our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE. This deceptively simple food provides warmth, comfort, hydration, healing, and nutrition, all in one, for a variety of your pet's needs:

🤢 Is your dog or cat experiencing nausea, reflux, gas, or just general GI upset? Try Belly-Soothing Broth. Among its ingredients are ginger root to improve GI motility, fennel to prevent GI ulcers, and cumin to stimulate digestive enzymes, plus other gut-soothing goodies.

🧠 Want to support your pet’s cognitive function? Serve up Brain-Building Broth, a salmon-based concoction infused with herbs that protect and enhance the brain.

🦠 Facing an infection or other challenge to your beloved’s immune system? Reach for Immune Broth. With the power of mushrooms plus herbs with antimicrobial and detoxifying actions, it offers a line of defense while supplying needed fluids.

🤧 Have a pup 🐶(or kitty 🐱) with histamine issues? Try the Quick and Easy Low Histamine Broth. We love traditional bone broths, but they might be out of reach for the histamine-sensitive. Ours is cooked just long enough to derive benefits, but not so long that histamine levels soar.

We have an entire section dedicated to Forever Fluids with even more recipes for broths, stews and teas! So you’re sure to find something that meets your pet’s needs! And, of course, we’ll also give you inspiration for using broth in a multitude of ways, from warm 🔥toppers to frozen 🧊 treats, and everything in between.

Little Curly was a rescue from Spokanimal. Two years old, all matted up and never having been groomed before. He did so good, and has a new loving home. I could have slipped this guy in my coat for sure.

Ann Marie wins our first, but not our last, Amaryllis Challenge! We all got a bulb to plant at the end of November, and whomever’s was the first to bloom wins. Ann said she could not grow anything, we think she lied. 🤣 Ann won a pair of Andis Pulse ZR2 cordless clippers compliments of Shear Heaven Pet Salon. We had so much fun with this, and we can’t wait for all of ours to show their big beautiful red blooms. Dolly grew a midget, but she’s keeping the faith. 🤣 I cheated with a grow light, and Rachae’s is picture perfect. More pics of all of our blooms when they fully open.

One of the Best Foods to Slow Dog Aging: Spinach!🍃🧊🐾

In our upcoming “how-to longevity book” called The Forever Dog Life, we have an exciting science-based section on how to prepare longevity cubes🧊 for your pets and inspire you to create endless combinations! Here’s a spinach longevity cube idea if you aren’t already making these:

Folate is an essential B vitamin💊 found in food. It helps with the production of DNA and without folate new, healthy DNA cannot be created. Cell biologist and longevity researcher Rhonda Patrick, PhD, maintains that “a deficiency in folate is equivalent to standing under ionizing radiation due to the DNA🧬 damage it causes.” And DNA damage is a BIG contributor to aging.

More recently, folate has also been shown to play a role in protecting telomeres, those important structures at the end of chromosomes that are shortened with age and lifestyle choices; shorter telomeres are associated with shorter lifespan and higher incidence of disease. Being highly heat-sensitive , folate is one of the first nutrients to be inactivated in processed pet food.

In addition to its many vitamins and minerals, spinach provides antioxidants tied to anti-inflammation and disease protection. These include kaempferol, a flavonoid shown to reduce the risk of cancer, as well as slow its growth and spread. Another, called quercetin, has been linked to possible protective effects on memory🧠 as well as heart disease🫀 and type 2 diabetes. Two of the lesser-known glycoglycerolipid components of spinach include sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) and monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG), which are known for their anti-cancer activity. Overall, spinach contains the second-largest quantity of total glycoglycerolipids among other popular vegetables!

How to prepare spinach🍃for you and your dog?

Scientists say the best way to consume spinach for maximum lutein intake may be puréed. That’s because when spinach is chopped into small pieces, more lutein is released from the leaves. Older research found that cooking also impacts the folate content of spinach; boiling slashed this B vitamin level by nearly half. Steaming, however, resulted in no significant loss of folate! Cooking also diminishes the vitamin E levels in spinach (and reduces oxalates, if you want to reduce oxalate consumption) but actually increases the amount of beta carotene. So it can be served cooked or raw.

Looking for an easy recipe to get spinach into your dog? Try making our Spinach Longevity Cubes!🍃🧊🐾

INGREDIENTS-

* 5 ounces of fresh or steamed spinach (preferably organic)
* 2/3 cup of water (even better, try bone , beef or chicken broth, preferably organic)
