Natural Dog Treats.

I went to watch an agility competition today and there was a local treat stall there with a wide variety of treats, some of which I had never seen before.

Plus they will make up a monthly box of treats for your dog too.

If you have been around me for a while, you will know that my number 1 essential skill to teach your puppy or dog is.....
TO KNOW IT'S NAME NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. and to respond immediately too - but what is next?

I have been giving it some thought recently and I think that what's next depends on you and how you want to live with your dog.

For some it is a perfect recall - come back when called.

For others it is walking perfectly by your side and others it is not dragging you down the road, but in front is OK.

To some those are minor items, they just want their dog to not embarrass them by barking to all and sundry.

So what is important to you? What skill should your dog have?

Today’s The Forever Dog Longevity Tip 🐶
Add some apiaceous vegetables (e.g., carrots, cilantro, parsnips, fennel, celery, parsley) to your dog’s dry or canned food! 🥕

These gems contain polyacetylenes, an unusual class of organic compounds that has antibacterial AND antifungal benefits. They play a key role in detoxifying several cancer-causing substances, specifically MYCOTOXINS. Mycotoxins are tasteless, odorless fungal toxins found in pet food ingredients that cause organ damage and immune problems.

Eliminating mycotoxins from your dog’s body can be really difficult but serving up apiaceous veggies is a great way to enhance the metabolism of these toxic compounds!

Raw or cooked, carrots and parsnip slices make great training treats, while cilantro, parsley, and fennel can be minced and mixed in with your dog’s food.

This easy food hack is one of many simple strategies Rodney Habib and I include in The Forever Dog book to keep your dog healthy. Available now at https://foreverdog.com/dog-longevity-health-and.../

Che K your dog's water bowl.

I use a big black plastic tub outside the back door because Bailey used to drink out of the far side then not swallow the last mouthful and if the water was in the house, I used to get a river down the room as it dribbled out.

Now he is no longer here, they do have a stainless steel bowl, but finding space where Daz doesn't run through it, is not possible.

What type of dog water bowl do you use? 🐶💧

The dog water bowl has previously been identified as the third most contaminated🦠 item within the household and can be a breeding ground for dangerous germs & life-threatening bacteria🧫 that can put the entire house at risk, researchers at University Centre Hartpury have revealed.

So, which dish is best to use for a dog water bowl? The bowl that grows the least amount of life-threatening bacteria!

In the first study of its’ kind, Hartpury scientists found stainless steel grew the least amount of bacteria and over time, plastic bowls grew the highest amount, but the shocking part was the most harmful bacterial species (including salmonella, E. coli and MRSA) were most frequently identified in CERAMIC bowls!

Lead can also be a problem when using ceramic bowls, and the endocrine disrupting chemicals found in plastic bowls are a no-go! Also be aware plastic bowls🥣 can cause Plastic Dish Nasal Dermatitis🙀: Chemicals in plastic absorb through the skin and inhibit the synthesis of melanin, leaving the nose👃🏼 and adjacent areas with pink blotches.

So stainless steel🍴 bowls are the safest, right?

Well not so fast…. there’s even been recalls on stainless bowls😫. In our upcoming The Forever Dog book, in the chapter titled Environmental Impact and the section labelled “Toxic Toys, Chews, and Beds", we cover how to choose the best chemical-free bowls🚫 that won’t leach contaminants over time.
