WEDNESDAY WELLNESS #4 - Canine Cognitive Dysfunction or CCD is a disease that can be compared to Alzhiemer's in humans, although the two diseases have a different progression. Studies have shown nearly 35% of our dogs may be affected by the condition. Daily mental stimulation and a constant progression in learning patterns can not only prevent but reverse the deterioration of a senior dogs cognition. www.shawnasdoglife.com

WELL-BEING WEDNESDAY #3 As the holidays approach, you will want to be aware of things that can be harmful to dogs:
1. Real Christmas trees - pine needles can irritate your dogs stomach but the biggest culprit is the preservative some companies use on the trees. It can collect in the water used to keep your tree fresh.
2. Poinsettias, Holly and Mistletoe - common live plant decor
3. Chocolate, Hot Cocoa, Alcohol
4. Pan drippings, cooked bones and fats from meats
5. Grapes, raisins, onions, garlic and leeks
6. XYLITOL - an artificial sweetener used in most candies

Be safe out there!!!

WELLBEING WEDNESDAY tip #2 - Understanding the balance of calcium and phosphorus in your dogs diet: We see it on all dog food bags "Complete balanced nutrition". What does that mean exactly? One of the big ones for a dog's diet is the amount of calcium present in comparison to phosphorus. Most adult diets need a proportion of one to one. (1:1) Most dog foods list their ingredients by percentage. Adult dog food usually has 1% phosphorus, and no more than 1.5% calcium. (1.5:1) If the amount of phosphorus in the food exceeds the percentage of calcium, an imbalance takes place that can cause the phosphorus to leach calcium from the bones. Dogs with kidney problems need a different balance as the kidneys are the organ that handles phosphorus elimination.
