Remember that your dog is an animal. They may “tolerate” it now but one day when they are not wanting to “tolerate” it they may bite.

Dogs communicate with their body language, growl, or bite. Body language is one us humans miss so often because we aren’t observing or we haven’t been educated on what they mean. Then we rely on a growl as a warning that they want space as a form of communication. Sometimes we take the growl away and shame them for it when we shouldn’t, we should be shaming our children. Some dogs just go straight for the bite because they don’t know how to growl or the growl is shamed and taken away.

It’s our job to keep our children and dogs safe. Please make sure that if you cannot monitor your children and dog in the same room that you either place baby gates up to keep them separated and/or designate a “safe place” for your dog to wind down from the chaos in a less traffic room. Teach your children to be kind to animals and give them space when they are laying down and/or on their beds.

Retractable leashes are not only dangerous for humans but also for dogs. Ever encounter someone walking their dog on a retractable leash that the dog gets too close to you and your dog who may not be so dog friendly? Ever have a dog that walks on a retractable leash across the whole street and you come around the corner and almost hit it? Ever have a dog take off n a retractable leash and it break and snap in your face leaving you with injuries? These have all happened. We do not recommend them ever. Believe it or not you have way more control and you are safer with a 6’ leash. Your dog shouldn’t have the whole 6’ unless sniffing and going potty. That’s all you need 😊

Plastics are porous, meaning oils💧 become trapped in them. Unless they’re washed🧼 daily, which isn’t practical, the pet food stored inside will be spoiled by rancid oils.🩸Proper pet food storage is essential to blocking or delaying the development of degenerative chemical processes⚠️ and the growth of spoilage bacteria.

🍄 CANCER HATES MUSHROOMS 🐾

This was the conclusion of Pennsylvania State University researchers who analyzed mushroom consumption on cancer risk, involving 19,500 patients.

The subjects with the highest mushroom consumption - (2/3 of an ounce of mushrooms daily) - had a 45% lower risk of developing cancer.

Another study by Bastyr University, conducted on a group of dogs with an aggressive cancer (hemangiosarcoma), found that feeding a Turkey Tail mushroom supplement extended lifespan by over 50%! While more research needs to be done on mushrooms, these findings are incredibly exciting for dog lovers!

Sadly, most of us who’ve had dogs have been touched by evil C-word.

CANCER KILLS HALF OF ALL DOGS. This fact is absolutely stunning and in recent years the trend is only getting worse.

When I began reading the research around mushrooms and cancer, I started giving my 13 year old husky a mushroom supplement daily. She lived and thrived until age 18, and while I can’t prove the supplement extended her lifespan, I believe it had a major impact. We certainly cannot yet say that mushrooms treat cancer, but there is sufficient evidence to say they greatly support the immune system of both dogs and humans.

If you’d like to learn more about the mushroom supplement I gave my 18 year old dog, and the one we recommend here at iHeartDogs, click the link below. https://social.iheartdogs.com/pages/bone-broth-mushroom?utm_source=FB-Ad_HatesMushroomsLPIMG1&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=FB-Ad_HatesMushroomsLPIMG1

I wish many more happy years for you and your fur babies!

P.S. - In case anyone is wondering, all mushrooms that are safe for humans to eat are safe for dogs!

I had the pleasure working with my brother’s dogs Ellie & Teddy. They have come such a long way with their obedience training and behavior modification. Watching them blossom has me smitten and their family as well. Great job to my family who worked hard to get them there. Can’t wait to see what the future holds in their training.

I had the pleasure of working with my good friends new puppy Jax. This Dobi is just amazing all around. With their hard work and dedication we were able to do a lot of off leash work with this pup who is so eager to please. Great work you two keep up the great work with Jax. I can’t wait to see what the future brings in his training.
