Did you know? Catnip can have effects on canines too!

As opposed to many cats, who go crazy for the stuff, catnip can have a mild sedative effect on dogs, helping them feel cool, calm and relaxed. 😎

You can add a little catnip leaf or tea to your dogs food to help calm them before stressful events, or try some of our catnip dog toys to give them an interesting new smell to engage with (or play keep away with the cat)!

COOL CATNIP FACT: Catnip contains nepetalactone, which is 10x more powerful than DEET when it comes to repelling mosquitoes and ticks... However, it's highly volatile, which means it evaporates off your skin/pet in minutes, and requires frequent reapplication. That said, planting some catnip around where you hang out in the summer is an excellent way to keep the skeeters away!

One of the biggest topics in store, and one of the issues that gets the most improper advice for treatment. I love that this good info is getting out there.

For decades, dogs diagnosed with pancreatitis were sentenced to a lifetime of ultra-low-fat food, but emerging research is changing that conversation. 👇
What we now understand is this:
🚫 Fat alone is not the villain.
⚠️ The quality of the fat, and how suddenly it’s introduced, matters far more.
A dog eating fresh, whole-food meals with clean, unprocessed fats is very different from a dog eating ultra-processed kibble that contains rendered fat or suddenly consuming bacon grease, fried scraps, or garbage.
In fact, newer studies found that dogs recovering from pancreatitis did just as well on moderate-fat diets. Some dogs on severely fat-restricted diets developed nutrient deficiencies and liver problems.
We no longer recommend prolonged fasting either. Starving the gut can damage the intestinal lining and slow recovery. Today, we know early nutrition with small amounts of fresh, highly digestible food helps pets heal faster. 💛
Here’s what I focus on now for pancreatic recovery and prevention:
✨ Fresh, low-AGE whole foods
✨ Clean omega-3 fats (EPA/DHA)
✨ Digestive enzyme support
✨ Avoiding oxidized, processed fats
✨ Maintaining a healthy body weight
✨ Preventing “garbage gut” moments
The pancreas doesn’t just need LESS fat. It needs LESS inflammatory stress. And that’s a completely different conversation. See the link in comments to my latest blog to find out more. 🐾
