A new peer-reviewed study published in Allergy, one of the world’s leading allergy and immunology journals, found that dogs with allergies😷 and food sensitivities had lower levels of beneficial short-chain fatty acids🦠 in their gut, including butyrate. These gut-produced compounds help maintain the intestinal barrier, regulate the immune system, and control inflammation.🔥 The researchers also found significant changes in the gut microbiome🔬 of affected dogs, adding to growing evidence that chronic itching and allergic disease may be closely linked to gut health. Supporting the microbiome with fiber-rich fresh foods, probiotics, fermented foods, and resistant starches may help increase the production of these beneficial compounds.

That’s why developed PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™, a science-backed formula designed to help support a healthier, more resilient gut microbiome. It contains targeted probiotic strains, including Lactobacillus species and Bifidobacterium bifidum, selected for their ability to help nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support the production of short-chain fatty acids, compounds linked to healthy immune function, gut integrity, and inflammation balance.

**"Would you do that to a child?"**

No, because my child is a human and my dog is a dog.

Using children as examples in dog training debates is stupid.

I wouldn't feed my child dried biscuits every day.

I wouldn't keep my child on a lead every time we left the house.

I wouldn't walk my child barefoot through the woods.

I wouldn't let my child eat dog s**t.

I wouldn't have my child's sexual organs removed as a routine management decision.

And I wouldn't expect my child to behave like a dog.

Dogs aren't children. Children aren't dogs.

They are a completely different species that experiences and perceives life very differently from us.

Judge dog training by what is fair, effective, and appropriate for the dog—not by comparing everything to a human child.

Honestly, I can't believe I even have to explain that. 🙈🐾

Its Emotional manipulation if someone trying to sell you something and uses that quote.

Most pet parents focus on what’s in their pet’s bowl🥣, but this conversation shows that what the food is stored in matters just as much!

Materials like glass, food grade ceramic, and stainless steel sit at the top because they’re inert and don’t interact with food, while plastics fall into a spectrum depending on their type, quality, and condition. More stable plastics like #2, #4, and #5 can be reasonable options, but they’re still not completely inert, especially over time with exposure to fats, heat, and wear. Lower-quality or unknown plastics ( #3, #6, 7) raise more concern due to additives and higher potential for chemical migration, particularly when containers become scratched, cloudy, or degraded. Silicone is stable for short term use, but capable of absorbing oils and odours with long-term use.

One of the most practical takeaways is that storage habits matter: keeping kibble in its original bag and placing the whole bag inside a container helps reduce direct contact and preserves freshness. It’s nearly impossible to eliminate plastic entirely, but reducing long-term exposure from everyday storage is possible.

This winds me up. When i first got involved with rescue 15 years ago, i believed every sad story why owners handed dogs in, then after a few years you start hearing the same stories repeated over and over.
I now dont listen to the why's , i just offer help.

Old dogs deserve to be spoilt.
