The Science Behind This Quirky Dog Habit 🐕🔍

Aside from tidying up, dogs kick the ground after relieving themselves to mark their territory. 📍This is why they spend so much time sniffing around anywhere another animal may have eliminated. They're constantly monitoring their territory and sniffing out information about other dogs who have come and gone. 🐶

Fruits Offer Your Pets Beneficial Phytonutrients and Antioxidants Not found in pet food!

Dogs (and cats, if they’ll eat ‘em) can receive significant health benefits from fresh food snacks 🐶🐱, but so many false food fears create unnecessary panic, and pets are denied the amazing health benefits of these great additions 👎🏼.

Many of these fruits are listed on DO NOT FEED lists by well-meaning websites that fail to explain the details: Toddlers and pets need to have the rinds, cores, seeds, leaves, stems and pits of fruits removed prior to eating, and all fruits and veggies need to be chopped into tiny, bite-sized pieces.

I find it interesting that the choking/GI risks are the same for little people and pets, but the foods listed aren’t demonized for kids because human parents have common sense: Don’t feed kids whole cherries with pits and stems. Same for your pets.

Well Pet Food Industry, and , I believe pet parents also have some common sense and won’t offer pineapple rinds to their dogs as treats, so how about you update your out-of-date website info 🙏🏼?

Put a * by foods that have a rind, pit, core or stem. Remind folks training treats should less than 10% of an animal’s daily calories, and if your pet has never had the new food before, always feed them slowly, giving the GI tract time to adjust. Chop them into tiny pieces and offer in moderation.

Here's the list of foods AAFCO/FEDIAF state are toxic to pets: onions, grapes/raisins, macadamia nuts and chocolate. 4 foods. It’s time to clean up and clarify your warning lists.

Something for us all to mindful about...

PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU LIKE, COMMENT ON OR SHARE 🙏

The welfare of dogs has, in many ways, taken a huge step backwards.

The past 2 years have seen a surge in e-collar and prong collar use. “Balanced” (punitive) training appears more admired than ever due to the notoriety of some unqualified individuals.

We have seen an increase in dogs with cropped ears being imported (or cropped illegally here in the UK) and shockingly, a continued advance in the selective breeding for extreme physical traits. We now see stunted French bulldogs half their normal size (the stupid designer name they’ve been given escapes me) destined for a life of skeletal issues. Toadline bulldogs, XL bullies… some of these new trendy ‘breeds’ are a physical (and subsequently often behavioural) disaster and it breaks my heart.

TikTok and Reels have caused an increase in downright stupid or reckless behaviour around dogs, putting children at risk or mocking aggressive behaviour- all so the owner’s ego can be stroked with likes.

How is it that with so many platforms and individuals desperately trying to raise awareness through the sharing of information (including up to date research) that things appear to have gone backwards so badly?!

As well as being dumbfounded by the number of likes these videos or posts get from the public, I get really frustrated when I see big brands liking or sharing anything that features the above.

I point blank refuse to like any image of a ‘designer’ dog with extreme/excessively exaggerated features/appearance.
I will not admire the results of a dog trained using aversive methods.
You will not catch me laughing at a dog exhibiting behaviour that shows potential to escalate to biting nor fawning over human-dog interactions that are totally inappropriate.

I urge you all to do the same and uphold a standard in how you participate in other’s content on social media.

Study the dog’s confirmation, consider the fall-out for selecting for that unusual /novel colour or extreme skeletal structure.

Recognise the excruciating and totally unnecessary painful process that goes into cropping ears (and some would also say with tails too!)

Look at the dog’s neck to see if their “perfect” behaviour is infact a result of discomfort and/or fear.

Look at their body language, don’t be fooled by the uneducated waffle that accompanies footage. Does that really look like a happy dog?

Is that dog bearing its teeth having a “silly tantrum” or is it frequently exhibiting signs of stress that one day may escalate to biting? Is this really that cute?

Being actively involved in social media may raise your profile, you may think you’re being nice by not being judgemental nor excluding anyone- but are you really being nice to dogs by reinforcing owners or professionals who make poor choices when it comes to dog welfare?

Too often welfare focused professionals are scared of speaking out due to fear of backlash. But nothing will change if we don’t speak up and do our best to raise awareness.

Here I call out to dog brands and ask them to be mindful of the images they use to advertise and the content they engage in on social media.

A big brand liking an image is a huge reinforcer to those who seek viral success.

I note that some brands already exclusively use healthy breeds/types in their advertising- if that’s you- keep doing your do! ❤️

And not just brands, but you dog lovers can make a difference! Call out aversive training for what it is, or if you’d rather not- simply ‘block’ that user. You can even report content as ‘animal abuse’. I often wonder what would happen if thousands of us did this! 🤔

Yes, commenting raises the post profile- but how else will we help those who don’t know better learn to critique what they see?

Note: I will always engage with customers, clients, supporters or any individual who wishes to sensibly engage in a dialogue with me with respect.

I will never penalise anyone for wishing to learn, for trying to do better or for genuinely not knowing better.

But I will simply not reinforce poor welfare choices with positive public participation or promotion because I do not want to contribute to a perceived message that ‘this is ok’ or ‘this is cute!’

I make exceptions to liking posts on dogs whose owners/cares recognise the health issues or their poor judgement and post to raise awareness.
