It`s pumpkin season. 🎃
They are everywhere, and the cheapest they`ll be all year. This one was £1.85 from the local farm shop.
So, it is the perfect time to make pumpkin puree for your dog and store some in the freezer for the dodgy tummy kind of days or when they need a bit more fibre in their diet.
They contain both soluble & insoluble fibre, so they are good for managing either diarrhoea or constipation.

WHAT DIETARY CHANGES BENEFIT AGEING / OLDER DOGS?

1. KEEPING THEM LEAN

In this study, feeding a calorie restricted diet throughout life, resulted in a significantly longer lifespan, and a delayed onset of chronic disease compared to control dogs.

The message is clear.

Maintaining a healthy, but lean body condition throughout life, significantly improves longevity and health into the senior years.

And the foundation for this is determined by what and how much is fed from weaning onwards. This is a simple, but powerful measure for helping your pet live the healthiest and happiest life possible, given their own unique circumstances.

I spent yesterday learning about the canine lymphatic system and techniques to aid lymphatic drainage. Oakley & Solomon of course came along and were happy to get lots of attention and to have techniques practised on them. Solomon found it quite tiring and had to have a cuddle on the seating area afterwards!

You may not think too much about your dog's tail until it clears everything off the coffee table or smacks you in the face while you are tying up your boots! I`ve had a lifetime of Labradors, can you tell 😆
The tail does more than you might think in terms of movement, balance, and navigating different terrain.

In conclusion, this study shows that the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs is linked to how long they are exposed to natural s*x hormones, and the relationship isn’t simple or linear. The highest risk was seen when females were spayed before about 1054 days (just under 3 years) and males before about 805 days (a little over 2 years). These results may help define what counts as “early” spay or neuter when it comes to cranial cruciate ligament disease risk.

Veterinary reproduction specialists now recommend hormone-preserving sterilization: preventing unwanted litters & less risk of torn cruciates.
