Startling statistic when you think about it. This health issue when untreated can lead to diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and cancer to name a few.

How do you know if your furbaby is overweight?

Run your hands along your dog's ribs to see if you can feel them easily. If you can feel a thin layer of fat over their ribs, or if it's hard to feel the bones, your dog might be overweight. 

When standing above them if overweight the chest and waist blend together or there is a distinct roundness to their body.

So what can you do?

Take 15-30minute walks to start increasing the amount of time and level of exertion as much as they can tolerate.

Manage the amount they eat, including snacks and treats.. Feed what they should weigh. If they are free eating, limit the amount you leave.

Add whole foods to their diet- carrots, bell peppers, blueberries are highly nutritious low calorie foods that not only are rich polyphenols but are filling as well.

Benefits of losing weight? . Dogs that are at a healthy weight can live up to 2.5 years longer than overweight dogs. More time with your furbaby-:bark ya!

Captain a regular at the Concord NH Farmers Market. At the age of 19 yrs old he enjoys long walks, snacks and meeting new friends.

His favorite meal is Jake's Grassfed Beef. Knowing this, his pet parent stops by regularly to buy some so Captain never runs out or else he gets some side eye until he gets more. Another reason why we love our dogs.

This weekend I watched the Netflix documentary, Inside The Mind of a Dog.

It shared some great facts about how dogs evolved, their behaviors innate and learned and why dogs do what they do. But all agreed there is so much more to learn.

Did you know that a dog's nose has its own 'imprint' - like a human's fingerprint.

Dogs can smell up to 100,000 times better than humans. To better understand that one- a dog can smell a teaspoon of sugar in an Olympic sized swimming pool-- that explains how even when you try to eat a snack 'quietly' they come running...

They can also sense your moods based on hormones your body releases while under stress, happy, sick or depressed.

These are just a few examples of why dogs are such an important part of our lives.

Beautiful weather/ Great location. Lots of dogs. Looking forward to another great day at the Farmers Market.

See you there.

But my dog is doing perfectly fine on dry food' which is often shared with me at the farmers markets. My reply is, 'I am glad to hear that your pet is doing well- but something to consider is the adding of whole foods to their diet as a topper or a meal per day.'

Whole foods like broccoli, blueberries, bell peppers, some cooked liver (sourced from a local farm of course) can be an excellent addition to a dog's diet because they are rich in nutrients and can promote overall health and wellness.

Experiment, next you are prepping a meal cut up some healthy toppers for your dog. You may be surprised by what foods they enjoy.

Whenever possible, shop local farm stands and stores, and farmers markets for the freshest organic ingredients.

Cultivated chicken?
Cell- cultured meats are grown in a lab from cells taken from animals or their fertilized eggs. The cultivated cells are mixed with other ingredients (fats, sugars, amino acids, and possibly growth factors and hormones) and grown in labs in stainless-steel tanks. In approximately three weeks, the cells mature, multiply and form sheets of product that can be molded into cutlets or nuggets or be shredded.

The FDA has approved 'cultivated' chicken 'safe' for human consumption but is not yet available in stores. Yet.

Though not being used in pet food produced in the US, the UK has approved its use.

Pet food companies here in the US are now looking into using cultivated chicken in their products as well.

Will KYS ever include 'cultivated' chicken in our recipes? NO. We only source from local farms because we believe you should Know Your Source of the foods your pet eats.

When speaking to pet parents about their dog eating whole foods either as a meal or a topper we stress the importance of feeding organic whenever possible.

Not only are the toxins from pesticides consumed 30x more through processed foods- ie. kibble but add cleaning products, w**d killers, etc, your pet may experiencing toxic overload of their liver.

What to do? Avoid processed food as much as possible, use non toxic cleaning products and limit their exposure to chemicals used outside.

Want to add some whole food toppers? Go to the local farmers markets, and farm stands to source organic.

Stop by grab a sample, buy a pound or two of Jake's Grass fed Beef or Tilly's Pastured Chicken recipes and let's catch up.

Pre-ordering online is strongly suggested.

19/06/2024

The recipes we create are fresh whole foods sourced from local family farms that are organic, or utilize organic regenerative farming practices. This means the food is your dog's bowl is non GMO, not sourced from factory farms, the meats have been raised humanely and the crops have been grown keeping the lands used sustainable for future generations.

We also use compostable packaging made from bamboo and unbleached plant fiber.

More importantly your dog will love their food.

17/06/2024

With the upcoming heat wave this week it is good to know the risks of your dog ingesting too much water either when swimming, drinking from a bowl or garden hose when hot.

As pet owners we often put a significant focus on ensuring that our pets are provided with plenty of clean, cold water to avoid dehydration, however, we aren't always aware of the risks of hyper-hydration and the fact that it can be just as damaging.

Dogs that enjoy spending time in water are at a high risk, as each time they retrieve sticks or balls in the water can lead to ingesting a large quantity of water rather quickly. If this occurs repeatedly, the water intake can add up quickly. It may also occur in dogs that are trying to ‘catch’ the water from a sprinkler or garden hose, biting at and, in turn, ingesting water with each attempt.

While less likely, dogs may also experience hyper-hydration simply from drinking from their own water dish if they have been exercising too hard in the heat. If you notice that your dog has quickly emptied their water dish, wait a period of time before refilling to allow their bodies time to process the water that they have already ingested. Frequent, short water breaks on a hot day are far safer than allowing your dog to drink a large bowl of water all at once.

Help your furbaby stay cool in the heat, safely.

How lucky am I to have the gift of seeing first hand where and how the meats and vegetables used in our recipes are raised/ grown and harvested.

The amount of work and commitment needed to ensure that an animal is raised healthy and humanely as well as crops making it to harvest requires our support so family owned farms can thrive

When visiting these farms I take pause and appreciate the view- grateful for these times.

Location: Little Brook Farm, Exeter, NH
