10 Things That Make Dogs Happy Series (We will post one thing every Thursday rather than a super long post).

#1. Let Them Lead

Did you know that a walk isn’t just exercise for your dog? It’s also an opportunity to explore the world through scent!

Dogs rely heavily on their sense of smell to gather information about their surroundings.

🌿 Let them stop and sniff.
🌿 Explore different walking routes.
🌿 Give them time to investigate interesting scents.

Sometimes a slow, 20-minute sniffing walk can provide more mental enrichment than a longer, rushed walk. Sage loves to look for our neighbours’ cage-free chickens, sniff for deer on the trails, and she especially loves exploring new trails.

💚 Remember: The walk belongs to your dog, too!

🐾 LEST WE FORGET — THE STORY OF SERGEANT GANDER 🐾 🇨🇦

Not all heroes walked on two legs. Some left paw prints on history.

This Remembrance Day, Sage’s Pantry honours Sergeant Gander, a courageous Newfoundland dog who served alongside Canadian soldiers during the Second World War.

In 1941, Gander accompanied the Royal Ri**es of Canada to Hong Kong, where he became much more than a beloved mascot.

During the fighting, Gander helped protect wounded Canadian soldiers from enemy attacks.

Then came his final act of courage.

When a gr***de landed near a group of wounded soldiers, Gander picked it up and carried it away. The gr***de exploded, taking his life but saving the lives of seven Canadian servicemen.

In 2000, Sergeant Gander was posthumously awarded the Dickin Medal for his extraordinary bravery.

Today, his medal is displayed at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.

On November 11, we remember the brave men and women who served, and the animals who stood faithfully beside them.

Their courage deserves to be remembered.

🌺 Lest We Forget. 🌺

It’s Wellness Wednesday!
DID YOU KNOW? TREES MAY HELP SUPPORT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM! 🌲

That peaceful feeling you get walking through a forest might be doing more for you and your dog than you realize!

Trees such as pine, cedar, spruce and fir release natural airborne compounds called phytoncides. These chemicals help protect trees from insects and disease.

Researchers in Japan have discovered that spending time in forests may increase the activity of natural killer (NK) cells — immune cells that help identify and destroy abnormal cells, including some cancer cells.

Some small studies have even found that this increased immune activity can persist for several days after a forest visit!

Does this mean trees prevent cancer?

Although the findings are promising, scientists have not proven that breathing phytoncides reduces the risk of developing cancer.

But spending time in nature has other potential benefits, including reduced stress and improved well-being… So Graf that leash and walk your dog on a forest trail!

Do you have a favourite forest trail where you love to walk with your dog?
