How wonderful and my beautiful homeland as well ❤️

New Zealand has taken a groundbreaking step in animal welfare: In 2015, the country officially recognized animals as sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, stress, and emotions.

As part of this decision, animal testing for cosmetics was completely banned by law. In doing so, New Zealand sent a clear message against unnecessary animal suffering and for more responsible treatment of living creatures.

The law demonstrates a fundamental shift in thinking: animals are no longer viewed merely as property, but as individuals with their own perception and capacity to suffer. With this decision, New Zealand has become a leader in global animal protection – setting a standard by which other countries can measure themselves.

Remember that dogs spend their lives sniffing everything and that’s why there is no place in my home or yours for these toxic chemicals ….especially when there are wonderful natural alternatives available 😊

A new peer-reviewed study in Frontiers in Veterinary Science found that 2 out of 3 dogs with lymphoma were exposed to benzene at DNA-damaging levels, and nearly 9 out of 10 were exposed to xylene. But here’s what most people miss: over half of healthy dogs had similar benzene exposure, and nearly all dogs had xylene exposure too.

This isn’t rare, it’s everyday life. These chemicals, released from products like cleaners, air fresheners, candles, paints, furniture, and even gas stoves, are commonly found in indoor air and can damage DNA in lab studies. Most dogs are living in a constant background of exposure we rarely think about.

The good news is you can reduce it.🙌 Focus on your indoor air, improve ventilation, use an air purifier with activated carbon if possible, avoid synthetic fragrances, switch to simpler low-toxin products, and eliminate smoke exposure. It’s not one big toxin that matters, it’s the constant low-level exposure over time.

And while reducing exposure is step one, supporting your dog’s ability to handle what they’re still exposed to matters just as much.

If you want a science-backed detox support option, Liver Lift™ is a daily, multi-pathway formula designed for pets living in today’s chemical world. It supports liver detox and bile flow, kidney filtration, lymphatic movement, gut binding, antioxidant regeneration, and nervous system regulation.

Today’s handy little hint ☺️

It’s allergy🤧 season, and one of the most common issues pet parents notice is itchy, irritated paws.🔥🐾

The good news: a simple, natural routine that helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation before it escalates.

A gentle paw soak made with green tea🍵, stinging nettle🌱, and peppermint tea🌿 can help calm inflammation and support the skin’s response to allergens. These herbs contain natural compounds that can ease itchiness, reduce redness, and discourage that cycle of licking and chewing that makes things worse.

The key is consistency and timing. Starting early, before paws become raw and inflamed, can make a big difference and may help reduce the need for stronger interventions like steroids💊 later on.

DIY Allergen-Removing Paw Soak

Add to 1 gallon of simmering water:
• 12 stinging nettle tea bags
• 6 green tea bags
• 6 peppermint tea bags

Turn off the heat and let it cool completely. Remove tea bags once cooled. Add 1 teaspoon of Primitive Probiotics. Stir well.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Use as a soak or rinse for your dog’s paws after outdoor exposure to help remove allergens and soothe the skin.

If you haven’t added a high-quality probiotic to your dog’s routine yet, there’s a reason this matters. That’s exactly why created PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™—a science-driven formula designed to help rebuild your dog’s microbiome using strains sourced from wild canids, healthy dogs, and living soil.

This is great and Teddy..Lucy and Elle Mae 🐱 all get sardines and mackerel regularly…..in the diet is always best 😊

Research shows omega-3s can significantly improve skin and allergy issues in dogs, with supportive evidence in cats. Studies report less itching, scratching, and hair loss, plus better skin barrier function and shinier coats, often summarized as up to 50–60% improvement. These benefits come from marine-based EPA and DHA, not plant oils like flax, h**p, coconut or chia, which dogs convert poorly and cats barely at all. Always choose responsibly sourced, third-party tested marine oils, ideally in glass.

Feeding bioavailable omega-3s helps reduce inflammation, support skin, joints, and immune health, and nourish the body at a cellular level. That’s why Dr. Karen Becker developed ROE MEGA™—a veterinary-formulated blend of phospholipid-rich caviar oil with EPA and DHA from anchovies, sardines, and mackerel, enhanced with astaxanthin for stability and antioxidant support.

Good information!❤️

The “parasite cleanse” every pet needs:
The correct one! STOP GUESSING (you’re creating drug resistance!). 🤮

Blindly deworming because “it’s time” is bad medicine. There is NOT one universal dewormer, and throwing random chemicals or strong alkaloid botanicals/herbs/DE at the gut disrupts the microbiome, your pet’s most important immune system.

Throwing ivermectin or fenbendazole at your pets without knowing what parasite you’re treating wastes money and can create dysbiosis by stripping healthy gut flora unnecessarily.

Test. Don’t guess.

I recommend a f***l parasite check twice a year. Find out WHAT parasite your pet actually has, then choose the RIGHT dewormer for THAT parasite to EFFECTIVELY treat it. Then test again and make sure it’s gone.

💊Coccidia — neither drug works well
💊Tapeworms — not reliably treated by fenbendazole or ivermectin
💊Giardia — fenbendazole may help but not always; ivermectin does not
💊Whipworms — fenbendazole works; ivermectin generally does not
💊Resistant hookworms — some strains no longer respond well
💊Many lungworms — species dependent, inconsistent coverage
💊Most protozoal parasites — ivermectin is ineffective

You’re not psychic, so stop guessing at dewormers and be smart: Start testing. Above all, respect your animal’s microbiome: If you deworm, you MUST rebuild it! 🐾
