🍂 Ticks Don't Disappear When Summer Ends! Keep Your Dogs Protected This Fall! 🐾

Think tick season is over once the cooler weather arrives? Think again! Ticks in Ontario can remain active well into the fall and even during winter whenever temperatures rise above freezing.

For our four-legged family members, this means tick bites are still a real concern. Ticks can carry diseases such as Lyme disease, which can cause serious health problems in dogs.

🐶 A few ways to protect your pup:
- Check your dog thoroughly after every walk, especially around the ears, neck, paws, belly and between the toes.
- Keep grass and brush trimmed around your yard.
- Stay on cleared trails when possible.
- Talk to your veterinarian about year-round tick prevention.
Don't let a beautiful fall walk turn into an unwanted visit from a tick! A little extra checking can go a long way in keeping your furry best friend safe and healthy.

Share this post with another dog lover. Their pup will thank you! ❤️

Today, our thoughts are with the brave Canadians who answered the call to serve.

We remember the fallen, honour our veterans, and recognize the sacrifices made by military families throughout generations.

May their courage inspire us to build a future rooted in peace, kindness, and understanding.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐨 𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐩?
It’s called coprophagia, and although it’s gross to us, it’s surprisingly common in dogs!
One possible reason is Nutritional issues: An unbalanced diet, poor nutrient absorption, or certain digestive problems may contribute to the behaviour.
🐾 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞?
Sometimes! A balanced, digestible diet may help, particularly if an underlying nutritional or digestive issue is involved. However, p**p-eating isn't necessarily a sign of a nutritional deficiency, and switching food alone may not solve it.
What should you do? Pick up stools promptly, supervise outdoor time, and reward your dog for leaving them alone.
If the behaviour becomes persistent talk to Martina to find out of their nutritional needs are being met and how to address this. Email: [email protected]

Remember: Eating another animal's p**p can expose your dog to parasites and harmful bacteria, so prevention matters.

"I can not say enough about what Martina has done for my dog and her diet. I have been dealing with a dog that has had diarrhea for the past 6 months.
I have had every test possible done on her. I was seeing an internist and she was on so many different medicines to try and clear up her problem. Nothing worked.
Finally, I decided I have had enough and I am going to search for a nutritionist and make my own food. I researched a few different places and felt most comfortable with Martina.
She heard I was so distraught and made me a recipe in a timely manner so I could get started quickly. I am not kidding with in 24 hours of her eating Martina's recipe her stools were normal.
I was and still in shock by this. While I was making the food for the first time, I had some quick questions and Martina got right back to me. I will recommend her to anyone and will be giving her information to my vet so they can give her info out." ~ Audrey

Fruits and Vegetables are also full of vitamins and minerals so can really boost a cooked meal, but when looking at the nutrient profile of other ingredients in your pet’s food, it may be beneficial to feed fruits and vegetables with dissimilar nutrient profiles when cooked, to get a broader spectrum of nutrients into the diet.

🎃🐾 Keep Your Furry Friends Safe This Halloween! 👻
Taking your dog for a walk on Halloween? Remember, spooky costumes, loud noises, and excited trick-or-treaters can make even the friendliest pups feel uneasy. 🐶 Keep your dog on a secure leash, use reflective gear so they’re visible in the dark, and steer clear of busy trick-or-treating areas. And don’t forget to keep those tempting Halloween treats out of paw’s reach!
Have a safe and happy Halloween with your four-legged best friend! 🧡🐕

Omega-6 fatty acids can contribute to inflammation, with GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) being an exception. Omega-3 fatty acids, on the other hand, are important for supporting overall health.
Some good sources of omega-3 include:
➡️ Fatty fish: Salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring and trout.
➡️ Fish oils: Oils from krill, sardines, mackerel and herring.
➡️ Raw eggs: Can provide small amounts of omega-3s, including EPA and DHA, depending on the hen’s diet.
➡️ Green-lipped mussels and their oil: Natural sources of EPA and DHA.
➡️Phytoplankton: Can provide beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, depending on the species.
➡️Algae oil: Typically rich in DHA, with some formulations also containing EPA.
➡️Flaxseed oil: Provides ALA, a plant-based omega-3. However, the body converts ALA into EPA and DHA inefficiently, making it a less direct source of these important fatty acids.
When choosing an omega-3 source, it's worth considering the type of fatty acids it provides. Not all omega-3 sources offer the same benefits, particularly when it comes to EPA and DHA.

𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: "Martina at Your Canine Nutritionist is absolutely wonderful! She is patient, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She is currently helping one of our beagles lose some extra weight while also helping us support our other beagle through his cancer journey.

Martina is attentive, quick to respond, and always so pleasant to deal with. I especially love that she takes the time to explain everything and has helped us create meals using wholesome, recognizable ingredients. There’s something so reassuring about knowing exactly what is going into our dogs’ food and being able to pronounce every ingredient!

I would highly recommend Your Canine Nutritionist to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate nutritional support for their dog." ❤️🐾

𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: While some raw bones can be safe, cooked bones can splinter and cause blockages or tears in a dog's digestive tract. It's best to avoid giving dogs cooked bones and instead provide them with safer, commercially prepared chew toys or bones.
