FEEDING DRY PET FOOD OR TREATS? WHY YOU SHOULD BE ADDING THIS VEGETABLE TO THEIR DOG’S DIET! 🥕🐶

Pet food companies all around the globe are struggling to control mold levels🧫 in dry and canned pet food, with dozens of lawsuits developing over pet deaths.

Pets that eat food containing unsafe levels of these molds are highly susceptible to aflatoxin poisoning. These fungal toxins not only can cause organ damage and immune problems, consumption of aflatoxins has been associated with increased risk of developing liver cancer!

One easy way to counteract the harmful effects of aflatoxins is to feed apiaceous vegetables such as carrots.🥕 Carrots contain polyacetylenes, an unusual class of compounds that play an important role in detoxifying several cancer-causing substances, specifically these AFLATOXINS.

Eliminating aflatoxins from your dog’s body can be really difficult but serving up carrots is a great way to enhance the metabolism of these toxic compounds!

💁🏻‍♂️HOW TO FEED: Raw or cooked, carrots make great training treats or can be minced and added in with your dog’s food. Chop carrots into a bite-size pieces appropriate for your dog’s size. The green leaves of carrots can also be fed for an added boost of antioxidants and nutrients.

Getting Your Dog a New Toy? Steer Clear of These 8 Items ⚠️

It’s important to select your dog’s toys carefully because not every toy is a good choice. Consider your dog’s temperament, size and age, as well as the toy itself (materials used, size, shape and more) to ensure that what you choose will keep your pet not only happy but also safe.

Did You Know? Not All Dehydrated Dogs Become Thirsty.

The long, hot days of summer are here, which also means you should watch out for these signs of dehydration in your dog, aside from thirst. 🐶

To help your pet stay hydrated, leave multiple bowls of filtered water around the house and replenish them with clean water several times a day. Adding bone broth to one of their water bowls may also encourage drinking, for pets who aren’t big drinkers. Bone broth ice cubes also help.
