🚨⚠️ WARNING: Please Don’t Buy Rawhide Bones for Your Dogs! ⚠️🚨 → PLEASE RESHARE ←

Hey, pet parents! Just a heads up—rawhide bones can pose serious risks to your furry friends. They may splinter, leading to choking hazards or intestinal blockages. Plus, rawhide can be tough on their tummies, causing gastrointestinal issues. And let's not forget that many rawhide products are treated with harmful chemicals that can be toxic to our pets!

For your dog's safety, consider safer alternatives like durable rubber toys or natural chews specifically designed for canine consumption! Let's keep our pups happy and healthy! 🐾💖

Your dog & cat’s microbiome🦠 is EVERYTHING. Literally! If you aren’t diversifying food groups🍄🥛🥩🫐🥕 for you and your pets, this WILL stunt the development of the gut biome diversity and overall immune health. Science is clear about that.

With so many myths🙅🏼‍♀️ about what’s good and what’s bad, “pet nutrition experts”🧑🏻‍💻 have vilified some amazing plants that have documented incredible health benefits for pets, forcing pet parents to revert back feeding ultra-processed foods by confusing the life out of our choices. Shameful, and with no scientific justification. 🤯

Quotes like: “the group I’m in says to never feed root veggies because they’ll kill my pet, they are too starchy to feed a carnivore and will cause inflammation & pancreatitis.” Um, what? In contrast, the Dr Cave study showed how quickly a dog’s microbiome crashed when no prebiotic veggie fibers were included. Carnivores need a lot of fiber, but they don’t need starch! With mountains of animal science showing the benefits of fiber from plants, these self-proclaimed “dog health experts” have caused tremendous food fears in the pet world, pushing folks to feed completely fiber-free diets that are creating havoc with our animals’ guts, causing serious GI problems resulting in vet visits, with vets concluding all fresh food diets are AWFUL and are so poorly formulated they create unnecessary disease 😖😭😤🤬.

How about we just do things right, based on science?! How about following the latest gut research and literature, telling us what dogs and cats need to create a healthy microbiome?!

This is why one of the key foundations of our book The Forever Dog LIFE, is building an Ideal Microbiome. So we filled the book with recipes like our Root Veggie Super Stew, Microbiome Morsels, Apple Cinnamon Tarts and many more recipes to super charge your pet’s gut! Now on sale at Target and Amazon.

Have you had a beloved dog that suffered from cancer or a cruciate ligament tear? You might be surprised to know that several serious health problems like these are more common in dogs that have been spayed or neutered. It's called "spay-neuter syndrome," and the risk depends on your dog's size, breed, s*x, and age.

If you're making a sterilization decision for your pet, work with a knowledgeable veterinarian to discuss the risks and benefits of different methods of sterilization for your dog.

‼️ Dogs without Exemption ‼️

You are now classed as criminals in the eyes of the law, this means when you ring 101 for advice A CRIMINAL IS HANDING THEMSELVES IN the hardest pill to swallow is because of your actions your dog will

🔘Be Seized - unless they use interim index and with the spotlight i would say personally the very few who do use it would decline a XL Bully
🔘Be temperament tested
🔘Youll have to pass a fit and proper test

The usual timescale is upto 2 years and the dog MUST be seized while the process is ongoing.

The courts are very reluctant to give banned breeds to young families, this can be seen in the case law (Grant vs R) who had her dog destroyed because of her boyfriend and she had two children.

‼️‼️The starting point in court for any conviction under S1. DDA is a destruction order, it can then be mitigated to a CDO at which point you can apply for a exemption‼️‼️

⛔️⛔️POLICE DO NOT HAVE ANY DISCRETION ONCE A DOG IS OF TYPE THE PROCESS IS SET IN LAW⛔️⛔️

❌ Missed XL BULLY Exemption ❌

If you are in England & Wales and have missed the deadline for the exemption but have a XL Bully you need to carry on as normal.
🔘Muzzle the dog
🔘Neuter the dog
🔘Insure the dog

👮 Contacting the police will have your dog taken away. Its the LAW they are there to enforce 👮

THE #1 REASON OLDER DOGS ARE EUTHANIZED MIGHT SURPRISE YOU: PAINFUL JOINTS.🔥🦴🐾

Osteoarthritis and the pain, limited mobility, and diminished quality of life that accompany it claim more dogs’ lives than any other cause 💔. The most important thing to remember is the process of joint degeneration is happening long before your dog begins limping.

There are many drugs and medications available to treat arthritis pain in dogs, but they come with a whole host of possible side effects ranging from mild GI symptoms to organ damage.

But there is good news! A recent study published in the international journal of molecular sciences, shows dogs with osteoarthritis supplemented💊 with glucosamine PLUS curcumin🫚 resulted in less pain, better mobility, and even decreased damage to the cartilage in joints. In another study, dogs fed a diet containing curcumin, plus collagen and green tea🍃 extract had significantly reduced osteoarthritis pain, and became more mobile.

The constituents in foods have real, healing properties, and you can take advantage of curcumin’s powerful anti-inflammatory effects to support your dog’s joints whether he’s been diagnosed with osteoarthritis or you’re being proactive to prevent joint damage.

Curcumin is found in turmeric🫚, and we’ve included this golden root in many recipes in the The Forever Dog LIFE book to make it easy for you to incorporate its benefits - which also include antioxidant and anticancer properties - in your dog’s🐶 (and cat’s😻) every day life.

Here are a few of the gems💎 you’ll find in our new book to help you introduce this health-promoting spice to your four-legged family members:

Try our Apoptosis Bites 🧀🫚🍄 for a snack that packs a functional punch. Apoptosis is the body’s clean-up mechanism to remove old or diseased cells, and add curcumin here to boost this natural process.

Or make our Ultimate 2.0 Turmeric Paste🍯 - and supercharge it with green tea🍵 for even more benefits. And bone broth🫖🦴, rich in collagen, is the perfect vehicle for turmeric to lend its joint-supporting assistance.

And, of course, we included turmeric🫚 in a number of our complete and balanced recipes. It’s a superstar ingredient that provides essential nutrients, too! For more information or to pre-order, visit www.ForeverDogLIFE.com

🐾 Hope for Pets With Malignant Mast Cell Tumors 🌟

Mast cell tumors are quite common, accounting for about 20% of all skin tumors in dogs. 🐕 It’s characterized by a bump or a lesion of some kind, often found on the trunk, the limbs and between the toes.

If your pet has a mast cell tumor and you’re considering a keto diet, I recommend working with a keto-knowledgeable health professional. They can help guide you through the dietary change safely and offer other nutraceutical strategies that may help improve your pet’s prognosis. 👍

The amazing story behind the invention of the Kong toy begins with a devoted dog owner named Joe Markham. Over 40 years ago, Joe was faced with a challenge - his beloved German Shepherd named Fritz had a habit of biting on rocks and sticks, which had caused serious damage to his teeth. Determined to find a solution, Joe embarked on a mission to create a toy that would keep Fritz entertained and prevent him from damaging his teeth further.

One day, while working on his vehicle, Joe accidentally dropped an axle stop with an attached bracket on the ground. To his surprise, Fritz immediately grabbed hold of it and started playing with it joyfully. Seeing his dog's excitement, Joe couldn't help but be amused by the unexpected turn of events. He turned to his friend and proudly asked, "What do you think of my new dog toy?"

His friend, though not too impressed by its appearance, humorously remarked, "Actually, it's not too pretty. It looks like an earplug from King Kong." Little did they know, those words would mark the birth of the iconic Kong toy that we know today.

And so, thanks to Joe's creative thinking and his furry friend's enthusiasm, the Kong toy came into existence. It has since become a beloved and trusted companion for countless dogs, providing them with hours of entertainment and promoting healthy dental habits.

Red: For typical chewers.
Black: For strong chewers is the most durable NOT the blue ones.
Light Blue: For puppies.
Purple: Older dogs
Orange: Floats in water.
Green ones: KONG does NOT make it is a knockoff

If you are against this ban and are not sure whether to apply for exemption please hold off, the government are waiting for the numbers of people who have already registered to take to the debate on the 27th of this month , so far there’s only around 500 but it’s just giving them the ammunition to carry on with this stupid ban !

The more people that comply is just doing them a favour .

Of course I can’t tell people what to do it’s your choice , but I just feel like some people have given up already, remember it’s not law yet , we are fighting this , what’s the point in fighting and raising money if we are just going to do what we are told anyway
