New Study – “MCTs from the diet have been investigated as nutritional solutions for disorders such as epilepsy, canine myxomatous mitral valve disease, and cognitive decline due to aging. […]

We find that dietary MCTs rewire both the metabolome and the lipidome of the serum, which has the capacity to influence organ function. While the impact of MCT supplementation has been investigated as a therapeutic option for diseases such as cognitive decline, the results of our work suggest that dietary MCTs may also have other beneficial effects on the general health of dogs.“

Adolescence occurs between six months and 18 months of age—a time when guardians typically struggle the most with their dogs. Some guardians are so overwhelmed and underprepared for this developmental stage of their dog’s life, they choose to surrender the dog to a local shelter or rescue group. In a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science found that the majority of the surrendered dogs (47.7 percent) ) were between 5 months and 3 years of age (M.D. Salman,John G. New, Jr.,Janet M. Scarlett,Philip H. Kass,Rebecca Ruch-Gallie &Suzanne Hetts, 2010)

The neurobiology of adolescence is fascinating, with some key events that alter both the structure and function of the brain.

During canine adolescence, changing s*x hormones effect the animals stress responses. Adolescent dogs have a decreased ability to process information they are receiving from the environment including the presence of dogs, vehicles, people, or really anything around them. They behave in ways that might feel frustrating or upsetting for the dog’s person.

The connectivity between the frontal cortex (responsible for decision making) and amygdala (responsible for emotional processing) decreases, resulting in less behavioral control. We see increased risk taking and more sensitivity to fear.

So what does this mean? This could mean that what was once no big deal to the dog now feels scary; what was once easy to do is now stressful; what once made sense is now confusing. At times, the world can feel like ‘too much’ for the adolescent dog.

As your puppy undergoes this transition into adulthood their inner world is intense, even chaotic. Many pet owners experience an increase in undesirable behavior and find themselves becoming increasingly frustrated. In turn, our own frustration and impatience can cause us to act unpredictably. This adds to our puppy’s inner turmoil. When the inside and the outside are both unpredictable it can be difficult for our dogs to adjust.

If you have an adolescent dog, what can you do? You can give your dog the time and space to observe what is going on around them when on leash at a distance away from the activity when possible. You can give your dog long walks to sniff and explore in nature, giving their brain time to decompress. You can offer your dog a quiet space to sleep so that they can consolidate memories effectively. You can continue training various skills, breaking them down into easier steps that can be generously reinforced.

By understanding what our adolescent dog is experiencing we gain greater compassion and understanding. When we approach adolescence with patience we create a world that is predictable and gentle so our puppies grow up to be their best adult selves.

Welcome to our Story!

My Kanine Kitchen was born from combining my love of cooking and my passion for researching ingredients that benefit the health of dogs. When researching dog nutrition, I quickly became aware of how many unhealthy ingredients and product recalls were associated with commercial dog food and mass produced treats. I had already been making my own dog food so adding healthy treats to my repertoire seemed like a natural progression.

I soon found myself at local farmers markets where my products were very well received. I love the interaction with both dogs and their owners, where I get to share the benefits of the products I make verses mass produced products made with little regard to animal health.

My products are made with real food ... no additives, preservatives, colors or dyes. I love researching an ingredient to find the heath benefits for dogs, then creatively finding a way to incorporate it into a delicious treat for them.

Monika lives in Worton, Maryland, with her husband Sheldon and her beloved bassets Abbey and Ton (aka Tons of Fun). She will open her heart and always lend a hand to any animal in need. She will forever cherish her heart dog, Zuda, the basset that changed everything....
