Did you know?
📌 93% of humans have glyphosate (a toxic herbicide) in their urine, averaging 0.5 PPB.
But your dog? 🐾 A shocking 15.8 PPB on average—the highest of any animal.

And it doesn’t stop there:

Glyphosate in Food
✅ The "safe" limit for human food is 17 PPB.
🥩 Kibble averages 200–700 PPB.
🍖 Raw food? Just 5 PPB.

Why the difference? Many fruits, veggies, and grains in kibble are sprayed with toxic pesticides before they even make it to your dog’s bowl.

You can help your dog thrive by choosing foods free from glyphosate and harmful chemicals. 🌿 Because what’s good for them is good for the planet too. 💚

Prepping for summer also means keeping our pets’ food fresh and safe! 🐾

As tempting as it may be to thaw raw cat food outside, the warmer temperatures can lead to bacteria growth and nutrient loss.

For a purr-fect meal every time, we recommend thawing food safely in the fridge, keeping nutrients locked in and your feline’s health protected. 🌡️

Did you know that fat provides more than double the energy of carbs? When fat is the primary energy source, it helps conserve glycogen (stored carbs), ensuring your dog doesn’t "run out" of quick energy during intense activities. Fat also provides an excellent choice for endurance and stamina, providing a constant ongoing supply of energy.

Did you know that what your dog’s chooses to eat might be more important than you think? Recent studies show that dogs naturally lean toward fat for energy. This behavior can be traced back to their wild ancestors, where fat was a priority during times of physical demands or limited food.

So, when you’re choosing food for your pup, make sure it aligns with their natural nutrient preferences!

Pancreatitis in dogs occurs when digestive enzymes activate too early, causing inflammation and, in severe cases, damage to the pancreas. While it’s a serious condition, understanding its causes can help you make better dietary choices for your furry friend.

A minimally processed, balanced diet rich in protein and fats could support better pancreatic health. Meanwhile, extruded diets may require a closer look due to their processing and high carbohydrate content.

Keep an eye on their diet, choose quality ingredients, and consult experts to find what’s best for their unique needs.

REALLY IMPORTANT FINDINGS HERE - FOLK JUMPING TO RAW / SINGLE PROTEIN DIETS TO FIX A FOOD ALLERGY NEED TO SET THEIR EXPECTATIONS TO LONG...

Rosser produced a number of cool studies in the 90's and early 2000's but this one from '93 eluded me.

He set out to test a variety of home-cooked diets (using real food, imagine! Single protein mixes similar to what we advise today) in 51 dogs with known food allergies.

The primary clinical sign of allergy in all dogs was persistent and nonseasonal pruritic (itchy) skin disease.

Specifically, they wanted to know how long it would take for the symptoms of the "allergy" to dissipate following removal of the protein.

The answer was:

1 to 3 weeks in 13
4 to 6 weeks in 25 dogs
7 to 8 weeks in 10 dogs
9 to 10 weeks in 3 dogs.

10 weeks!!!

Who gives it 10 weeks?!

Very few.

This is the problem. Folk want the quick fix. 75% of dogs took longer than 3 weeks to get better. Most would have given up after a week or two, back on to the meds.

☀️🐾 Summer is heating up, but your pet’s raw meals don’t have to! Follow these thawing tips to keep their food fresh and safe this summer:

1. Thaw inside the fridge, never outdoors—hot temperatures can spoil nutrients and introduce bacteria.
2. Plan ahead and portion meals to avoid waste or the need to rush.
3. Serve meals at room temperature or chilled if it’s a very hot day. They’ll love it.

Check out our pinned post for a full step-by-step guide how to serve our meals the correct way!

Let’s keep summer pawsitively perfect. 🐶🐱
