A worthy read 💩

ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH YOUR DOGS P**P 💩 🐶💚

Are you a p**p 💩 stalker/detective?

SH*T/P**P/CRAP/PONKY/POO/

I’m constantly sent photos of dog p**p! I can’t even begin to tell you how many photos that I have!

“Raw feeders are obsessed with dog p**p & love talking about it!”

There are umpteen charts, blogs, videos & articles telling us what our dogs p**p should look like.

Being told this is a “good indication of your dogs GI health”

I disagree.

Get to know your own pets!

Find out what is normal for them.

Document it!

Then you’ll know if something is wrong.

Start with yourself.

Document your own p**p for 2 months.

Colour
Firmness
Length
Odour
Appearance

Did you p**p at the exact same time everyday? Or was it dependant on when you ate?

Dog p**p should only look the same day in day out if they are fed the exact same foods day in day out!

Chicken & fish make for a looser, lighter colour p**p than beef for example. Did you feed mince? Chunks? Whole prey?

The day after bone day the Queeniechi Gang all have a much firmer crumbly p**p.

On days when they have fasted or eaten a meat free diet, their p**p is often loose.

If they have a curry it smells different to say a lamb stew.

If there is lots of fiber emptying of the a**l glands is more obvious.

Please don’t get too hung up on these charts.

Study your own dog and create your normal from there. If the diet is diverse so will the p**p be! Don’t panic if it’s a bit lighter on Monday and segmented and darker on Saturday.

These charts are created for highly processed diets where the same food and flavours are ed day in day out, then yes, this would be a good indication of something being wrong.

Your dog will experience a more volumous p**p if they are being fed a highly processed, high carb diet and it will be a stinky one!

Ps I am deadly serious about you keep your own p**p chart! Bowl cancer is easy to miss. Study your own p**p as much as you study your dogs p**p! ANYTHING different contact your GP (doctor) immediately, better safe than sorry.

Say NO to rawhide, there are plenty healthy dry raw treats available, or a good old fashioned raw bone (non weight bearing are best).

Posh hose for the dog👌😄🐾 (but nice if it does warm water for muddy winter paws)

Tree barks and bone broth are your friends for upset tums 🐾

Initial theories linked the illness to beaches but it has now been seen inland and appears to be spreading

Here's a really neat idea to help dogs who are worried by loud noises! What's not to love about a Treat Party!

Of course some dogs may be really fearful, and in these cases it can be best to let them hide if that's what they want, use calming sprays and/or herbal supplements. Batten down the hatches and play some soothing music. Have also heard good things about thundershirts (google for diy hacks) 🐾

It's hot, hot, hot out there 🌞 Make sure your dog stays cool and hydrated, here are some ideas :

1) Take a moonlight walk (or dusk or dawn) and enjoy different sights and sounds, plus no overheating.
2) Eat ice cream! Blitz a can of tuna in spring water with some more water and freeze in an ice cube tray. Freeze plain yoghurt with a few berries. Freeze a carrot. A frozen Kong also provides mental stimulation for your doggo.
3) Lots of cool water. Put a paddling pool or bucket of water out for your dog to splash around in. Make sure there is fresh, clean sky juice available for drinking at all times. Get the sprinkler or hose out for a bit of fun.

Would love to see pics of your dogs chilling and also comment any cool ideas to add to the list 😎
