Dogs boost our immune system – but what boosts theirs?

For many years, researchers couldn’t understand why members of the Amish communities in the USA had such robust immune systems. Unlike most Americans, they barely suffered at all from asthma, eczema, allergies and other such conditions.

Then in 2012, scientists made a breakthrough: Amish children live, as it were, cheek by jowl with farm animals from a young age and this seems to set their immune system up for life.

Other research has since discovered that the more pets in the home when you are a child the less likely you are to suffer from allergies.

There’s more. Different studies have also shown that humans who live in the same household as a pet end up with gut microbiomes which are more like each other. Why? Possibly the animal is helping to transfer human microbes between its two legged family members. Possibly regular exposure to the pet’s own microbes is stimulating the human carers’ immune systems to stay more active.

Anyway, the long and short of it that growing up with a dog – sharing their microbes – actually appears to be a real boost to our health.

Great for us. But what about the dogs, cats and other pets who live with us? What can we do to boost their immune system? The simple answer is feed them a species appropriate diet!

Why gardening dog lovers should feed raw.

Fed up with those yellow patches on your lawn caused by your dog doing you-know-what? They are caused by something called urea ¬– a nitrogen-rich waste produce of protein metabolism.

A small quantity of nitrogen is, of course, good for grass. But excessive amounts overwhelm it, causing it to ‘burn’ and yellow.

And excessive amounts of urea i.e. nitrogen is exactly what is found in the urine of dogs fed an ultra-processed kibble diet. Such a diet contains too much protein with predictable results for your lawn.

If you switch your dog to a well-balanced raw food diet the problem should disappear. Raw animal proteins are highly bioavailable and are processed much more efficiently. In plain English, less excess nitrogen needs to be eliminated, so the urine will contain lower concentrations of urea.

It is also to be noted that the higher water content in a raw food diet has the effect of further diluting the urine.

Anyway, if you are fed up with yellow patches on your lawn, Honey’s can definitely help!

How to make picking up (dog poo) almost a pleasure.

Well, ‘pleasure’ might be overstating it a bit. But scientific studies show that raw fed dogs produce smaller, firmer stools that (and this will be of interest if you are a keen gardener) break down much faster.

Smaller because a raw or natural diet contains much higher levels of nutrition and is therefore more digestible when compared to kibble or wet food. Frankly, when it comes to ultra processed dog food, we are talking rubbish in, rubbish out.

Firmer, because a natural, wholefood diet contains fat, fibre and bone. Another benefit of this is that it helps to clear your dog’s a**l sacs.

Faster to break down, because a raw food diet produces drier, chalky stools free of chemicals and preservatives.

If you would like to discuss how to transform your dog’s health – and stools – please contact us here at Honey’s.

One of our valued customers has started an exciting new canine community.

Martine Davis and her four-legged business partner Rusty have started a new global platform for dog lovers to make real-life connections.

They have called it Meet My Paws – membership is free – and it is for people as well as dogs. ‘Think friendship, community and purpose,’ says Rusty.

Anyway, we are delighted that they have included Honey’s in their Little Dog Book, a curated guide to trusted dog-friendly brands and businesses.

All in all, a great idea.

You can learn more by visiting: www.meetmypaws.com or email Martine at [email protected].
