𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝, “𝐈𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥?”
Here’s the breakdown on some dogs’ odd behaviour!

𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠: Usually normal, much like babies grabbing their toes, but if they prefer chasing tail over going for a walk or eating, it’s a problem. Check in with your vet.

𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐡-𝐬𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠: Dogs like sniffing each other’s behinds, getting a lot of information from other dogs by doing that, and they probably get the same information by sniffing people too. If it’s bothersome, try obedience training.

𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Normal behaviour for some dogs after going to the bathroom, especially if their stool is loose. But if it happens often, it could be impacted a**l glands or from having a tapeworm. Consult your vet for treatment.

𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠: Male dogs commonly do this but some females too. It could relieve stress or just feel good. If they do it with people, it could be to show dominance. Talk to a trainer or vet for behaviour tips.

When transitioning your dog to Nutriwoof Dog Food, it's important to do so gradually over 7 days. Here's the plan:

🐾Days 1-2: Mix 3/4 of the current food with 1/4 Nutriwoof.
🐾Days 3-4: Serve a 50/50 mix of current food and Nutriwoof.
🐾Days 5-6: Mix 3/4 Nutriwoof with 1/4 of the previous food.
🐾Day 7: Serve only Nutriwoof.

During the initial transition period, monitor your pet's reactions to a new food, paying attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, energy, and GI issues. Slow the transition down and consult your vet if necessary.

Dry food and Treats: Keep the food in its original packaging to retain freshness and protect it from contaminants. Transfer it to an airtight container, ensuring it’s sealed tightly to prevent exposure to air, moisture, and pests. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its nutritional quality and prevent spoilage.

Canned food: Store unopened cans in cool, dry place. Once opened, store in the fridge to retain moisture, minimize air exposure and reduce odour transfer, using a plastic or silicone pet food lid designed to fit on top of the can. Transfer any unused portion to an airtight container, refrigerate, and use within 3-5 days for optimal freshness.

GENERAL TIPS
Check expiry dates regularly and use old stock first. Ensure containers are clean and dry before refilling them with fresh food. Always use clean scoops and bowls to avoid contamination.

Proper storage will keep your dog’s food fresh, safe and tasty!

There are several behavioral, medical, and environmental reason for dogs to lick excessively.

𝘽𝙀𝙃𝘼𝙑𝙄𝙊𝙍𝘼𝙇
Anxiety or stress: dogs might lick to self-soothe, similar to humans biting their nails. This can be due to separation anxiety, environmental changes, or other stressors.
Boredom: Without stimulation, a dog may resort to licking to pass the time.
Habit: Sometimes licking just becomes a habit that persists even after the initial cause has been addressed.

𝙈𝙀𝘿𝙄𝘾𝘼𝙇
Allergies to food, pollen, or other environmental factors can lead to itchy skin that they try to soothe by licking.
Bacterial or fungal infections can cause itchiness, prompting excessive licking.
Dogs may lick painful or uncomfortable areas, such as a joint affected by arthritis or an injured spot.
Some dogs lick excessively when they have stomach discomfort or gastrointestinal problems.

𝙀𝙉𝙑𝙄𝙍𝙊𝙉𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏𝘼𝙇
Skin irritations caused by certain plants or allergens can cause irritated skin, leading to licking.
Parasites like fleas, ticks and mites can cause significant itching and discomfort, leading dogs to lick themselves excessively.

𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝘾𝘼𝙉 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘿𝙊?
Consult a veterinarian to rule out medical issues, like allergies, infections or pain, first.
Address behavioral issues with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Training, interactive toys and regular exercise can help reduce boredom and anxiety.
Check the environment for potential irritants and keep an eye out for any changes that might be causing stress or discomfort.
Regular grooming can help maintain your dog’s skin and coat health, potentially reducing the urge to lick.

By understanding the underlying cause, you can take the appropriate steps to address excessive licking and ensure your dog’s wellbeing.

Carbohydrates are required for energy, healthy intestines, and reproduction. Even though there is no minimum requirement, a minimum glucose requirement is necessary to supply energy to critical organs like the brain. In addition, carbohydrates form the base of other nutrients, generate heat in the body, and some carbohydrates can be converted into fat.

Fiber, a type of carbohydrate, helps promote a healthy gut. Dietary fiber is composed of soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fiber retains water and makes the f***s softer. Many soluble fibers are fermentable, which can be used by normal gut bacteria as an energy source. They produce short-chain fatty acids that can be used in intestinal cells as an energy source (prebiotics). Insoluble fiber increases f***l bulk but cannot absorb water so it doesn’t soften f***s.

Fats provide your dog with double the energy of proteins and carbohydrates, and are needed for production of hormones, as well as for absorption and utilization of vitamins. It also provides insulation and protection for internal organs.

Fats provide essential fatty acids (EFAs), which help with inflammation at the cellular level and maintenance of a healthy skin and coat. The two important polyunsaturated fatty acids are omega-3 and omega-6. Lack of fatty acids will influence wound healing and increase some skin conditions. On the other hand, too much fat in a dog’s diet will increase the risk of obesity and require vitamin E supplements for antioxidant protection.

Vitamins and minerals are responsible for normal metabolic functioning and many chemical reactions in a dog’s body🧪 When your dog is on a complete and balanced diet, additional supplements are not needed, unless prescribed by a veterinarian.

These essential vitamins and minerals include Vitamin A, B-complex, C, D, E, K, Calcium, Magnesium, Folic Acid, Biotin, and Phosphorous. Dogs’ bodies make its own vitamin C, K, Biotin (B7), and Folic acid (B9) ⚡️

🐕 Vitamin A: helps maintain healthy vision, regulates the growth of skin cells as well as synthesis of protein and reproductive hormones.

🐕 Vitamin B: B1 is essential for a healthy nervous system; B2 helps maintain skin and coat and plays a role in energy production; B3 prevents dehydration and encourages the synthesis of skin fats; B5 is needed in metabolic processes; B6 plays a role in metabolic pathways for amino acids; B12 plays an important role in many biochemical reactions in your dog, maintains healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system, and helps metabolise fat and carbohydrates.

🐕 Calcium & Phosporus: quantity and ratio is important here because they promote healthy growth and maintenance of bones and teeth, and help transmit impulses and information between cells.

🐕 Vitamin D: helps dogs regulate and metabolise calcium and phosphorus. Besides dog food, the sun is also a great source of vitamin D.

🐕 Vitamin E: protects healthy cells in your dog’s body against free radicals and strengthens their immune system.

They say a lean dog is a healthy dog, but how lean is too lean? You can measure your dog’s body condition with a few simple tests.

Excess weight is one of the biggest threats to dog’s health and comes with many consequences, such as arthritis, liver disease, diabetes, and cancer, etc. At the same time, a dog should not be too lean either, which could mean loss of muscle mass and healthy body fat.

A dog’s body condition is assessed by a Body Condition Score, ranging from 1 (too skinny) to 9 (obese), where the ideal range is 4.5 – 5. All you need is your hands and eyes to determine how much fat is on your dog’s frame, and your dog will probably enjoy the attention!
