What I Eat In A Day… Ruby’s BARF Diet Edition!! 🍖🥒🦴🥩🫐🥚🥕
We get loads of questions wondering what the best diet for dogs is, especially if your pup deals with inflammation (skin issues, fungal overgrowth, etc), so we thought we’d share what our pup Ruby eats following the principles of the BARF diet… including the use of our oral probiotic supplement for that additional dose of good gut bacteria 🐶🐾 All other dog food and treat companies used are tagged… ❤️
BARF stands for biologically appropriate raw food, a model diet for dogs based upon the principles of evolutionary nutrition. This diet generally consists of 70% muscle meat, 10% raw edible bone, 5% liver meat, 5% other organ meat, 7% fresh vegetables, 2% seeds and nuts, 1% fruit.
The fresh meat and little to no carbohydrates that the BARF diet provides will mean a natural, nutritious, balanced intake, and eliminate many of the food intolerances and health consequences of highly processed, commercial dog foods such as kibble.
This is a suitable diet for adult dogs which will provide ample nutrition and aid in healing gut - and overall health - feel free to message us to ask any questions!! ❤️

Two very happy pooches just loving MicroMed! In fact they can’t get enough of it!! What do you think?
The A&P Feilding Equine Show (with lots of doggy stuff too) is THIS WEEKEND - 22 May - and we'd love to see as many of you MicroMed supporters as possible - and those who know nothing about MicroMed. Great presenters on the equine front - and approximately 80 exhibitor stands - its gonna be great! Fancy a weekend away?? Highlight for me - I am really looking forward to finally meeting everyone from Rangitikei Area Distance Riders Club who MicroMed has loved supporting for the last few years - yippee! Hope to see you there!
Adverse Effects of using Flea and Tick Treatments containing Isoxozoline
If you are still using Flea and Tick Medications then you need to be aware of the very high incidence of adverse side effects of these medications for your dog - or cat. The damning results are now in from a 2018 study headed by Dr Jean Dodds, et al. on 2751 survey results on dogs given an 'isoxazoline' based flea or tick medication.
The FDA-approved drugs in this class are:_
Bravecto (fluralaner) tablets for dogs
Bravecto (fluralaner) topical solution for cats and dogs
Bravecto Plus (fluralaner and moxidectin) topical solution for cats
Bravecto 1-month (fluralaner) tablets for cats
Credelio (lotilaner) tablets for dogs and cats
Nexgard (afoxalaner) tablets for dogs
Simparica (sarolaner) tablets for dogs
Simparica Trio (sarolaner, moxidectin and pyrantel) tablets for dogs
Revolution Plus (selamectin and sarolaner) topical solution for cats
In 66.6% of these dogs, adverse effects were reported that included :_
Death,
Seizure,
Shaking/Tremors/Ataxia,
Behavioural Issues,
Neurological/Cognitive Issues,
Muscular/Balance Issues,
Skin Problems/Itching,
Internal Bleeding,
Anaemia,
Vomiting/Nausea,
Not Eating/Drinking,
and Diarrhea.
The impetus for Dr Jean Dodds et al. survey inquiry into the potential Adverse Effects (AE) associated with the use of canine flea and tick treatments was prompted by non‐AE documented reports and clinical experiential AE reports from veterinarians and pet owners worldwide. These reports were apparently disregarded or failed to generate concern and responsiveness from the manufacturer(s), which was compounded by the failure to report serious AE on their package labelling until recent label changes were made from 2018 to 2019, initiated by the FDA in America
The number of total Adverse Effects reported to FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) were comparable, although a 7 to 10 times higher occurrence of death and seizures was reported from the EMA or from outside the United States (US). Serious AE responses for death, sei
