What’s her beef? HINT: It isn’t cow — a protein that most pet parents think is good for all dogs. 🐄

According to Ayurvedic nutrition:

We need to look beyond the Frenchie breed at Coco’s unique canine metabolic type: “Bullfrog Princess”. 🐸

This beautiful lil’ spitfire is an athletic and determined natural born leader that tends to also get hyperfocused or show some aggression in high-stress situations.

For her, Ayurveda recommends staying away from beef with its warming and heavy digestive properties (causing loose stools or an upset stomach).

Instead, Coco would benefit from eating one of several protein options, like venison, that have a cooling, drying, and slightly bitter effect on her digestion. 🦌

Venison would help tone her tissues and gently stimulate her digestion – without adding more fuel to her ever-lasting fire!! 🔥

Nature’s mute buttons can help dogs chill!

Ashwagandha is a herb that can be given to dogs to help them adapt to stress.

> For the “Social Butterfly” 🦋
These are thin-framed, social dogs that tend to get hyperactive and fearful under stress:

Ashwagandha soothes their nervous system and promotes a restful sleep.

> For the “Baby Elephant” 🐘
These are heavyset, loyal dogs that tend to get sluggish and who will withdraw under stress:

Ashwagandha stimulates their metabolism and promotes movement and vitality.

> For the “Frog Prince” 🐸
These are athletic, goal-oriented dogs that tend to get hyperfocused and will likely show some aggression under stress:

Ashwagandha is NOT recommended or only IN MODERATION.

What to look for in an Ashwagandha pet supplement:
Ashwagandha root with a standardized minimum 5% withanolides.

For example: Pet Ashwagandha capsules. (I was not paid for the endorsement of their product. I just like it.)

Have you seen positive results in your dog with Ashwagandha?

Save this for when your dog’s breath stinks!

Did you know that some types of seaweed can help stop stinky doggy breath?!

1. According to canine nutrition science, certain seaweeds inhibit oral bacteria growth in dogs.

Look for brown seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) in powder form or in a treat. One study showed that giving dogs brown seaweed daily for 3 months reduced plaque by 40% and reduced tartar by 20%. That’s a lot less stink!

2. According to canine Ayurveda nutrition, all three dog “types” can benefit from seaweed in moderation and according to the dog’s needs.

> For the “Social Butterfly” 🦋 (a thin-framed dog with dry skin and who has trouble putting on weight):
Rehydrated seaweed is a nutrient dense treat that supports dental and overall good health.

> For the “Frog Prince” 🐸 (an athletic ‘dog with a job’ with a fiery mind and body):
Seaweed in moderation helps to support the thyroid and avoid periodontal-associated disease from an overactive metabolism.

> For the “Baby Elephant” 🐘 (a sluggish, large-framed and good-tempered dog): seaweed helps to support the digestive tract and counter toxin accumulation-related bad breath from overeating (and poor digestion).

Seaweed offers other health benefits including immune health, skin and coat quality, good metabolism and has anti-inflammatory properties.

It’s important to follow product guidelines and dosages to avoid excess iodine and salt levels.

I. Give your dog safe seaweed from reputable companies.
II. Give your dog the accepted daily amount of seaweed (don’t forget to include dog food and treat sources).
III. Always give a small piece the first time to make sure that your dog isn’t allergic.

Dosage: 1 to 2 grams of seaweed per 10kg of ideal body weight. (Source: )

SO!
Have you given your dog seaweed? Did they love it or hate it? Lmk in the comments.

Watch till end for proof of crunchy-ness!

I started making “sushi kale cigars” for my dogs to improve their dental health (seaweed compounds in saliva reduce plaque and tartar buildup).

I didn’t know they’d become a household favourite (for them and us humans)!
______
You’ll need:
- Sushi* sheets divided into quarters
- Kale* cleaned and stems removed (dandelion works too)
- 6 Tablespoons water mixed with 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
(*Organic if possible)
_______
Dehydrate in oven on lowest setting, usually 170°F (about 75°C) for 2 to 3 hours. Will snap easily when completely dehydrated.
_______
Treat Quantity:
SMALL dogs: half a cigar occasionally
MEDIUM dogs: 1 cigar occasionally
LARGE dogs: 1 cigar occasionally
______
NOTES:
All dogs are unique with different health and nutrition preferences and needs according to Ayurveda canine nutrition. These treats would better suit what I call “Bullfrog Princes” (athletic/leaders), or “Baby Elephants” (large/reliable). Learn more in my ongoing Series: https://www.instagram.com/p/DTqplnmj2VQ

Everything in moderation is good for our canines, but sometimes food can have a subtle effect on our furry friends, especially when they’re hyper-active, hyper-focused, or too lethargic.

Lightly cooked carrots (warm, soft, easily digested) can help rebalance your dog.

Special thank you to our Milliner (Hat Maker) Extraordinaire .lea 🫶❤️🎩
