BREED SPOTLIGHT: Labrador Retriever 🐶

🇺🇸 America’s Favorite Pup
Labs have held the title of the most popular dog breed in the U.S. for decades—and it’s easy to see why.
💦 Water Lovers
Originally bred to retrieve fishing nets, Labs are natural swimmers and LOVE a good splash.
💪 Built to Work
These dogs thrive when they have a job. Whether it’s hunting, service work, or agility, they’re happiest when active.
😋 Big Hearts, Big Appetites
Labs are known for being food-motivated—great for training, but watch those portion sizes!

Care Tips Just for Labs:
🦴 Joint Support Early On
Labs are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, so joint-supporting supplements can make a huge difference long term.
🧠 Keep Their Mind Busy
Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise. Puzzle feeders, training games, and sniff walks are your friends.
🥩 Watch That Waistline
Labs love food. Keeping them at a healthy weight is crucial for joint health and overall well-being.

WHAT YOUR DOG’S P**P IS TELLING YOU
Let’s talk about it — because your dog’s p**p is one of the best indicators of their health! Whether you’re dealing with 💩 piles of confusion or perfect p**ps, here’s what to look for

💩THE PERFECT POO 💩
A healthy dog p**p should be:
• Chocolate brown
• Log-shaped
• Firm but squishy (like Play-Doh)
• Easy to pick up
This usually means your dog is digesting well and their gut is in good shape!

🚩RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR 🚩
If you notice these, it’s time to pay closer attention:
• Runny or watery stool – Could signal gut imbalance or parasites.
• Mucus or blood – Often tied to inflammation or infection.
• Gray, yellow, or green p**p – May point to liver, pancreas, or gallbladder issues.
• Hard, dry stool – Can mean dehydration or too much bone in raw diets.

💪HOW TO SUPPORT HEALTHY P**P💪
• Feed a fresh, species-appropriate diet
• Avoid fillers, artificial additives & toxins
• Add gut-supporting supplements
• Regularly check their p**p — it’s your daily health check-in!

Foods that are TOXIC to dogs ☠️🐶

🍫 Chocolate - Delicious for us, dangerous for them! Theobromine can send their heart racing in all the wrong ways and cause seizures.
🧅 Onions - Great for pasta, bad for pups! These can damage their red blood cells leading to anemia.
🍭 Xylitol - Found in sugar-free gum, candy, and some peanut butters; causes severe low blood sugar and liver failure.
🍺☕️ Alcohol & Coffee - Both are toxic and can affect the nervous system and heart — keep to yourself!
🍇 Grapes - Even one can spell trouble for your dog’s kidneys. Not worth the risk!

If your dog consumes any of these, contact a vet or poison control immediately.

5 tips for hiking with your dog 🥾🐶🌿

🌲Choose a Dog-Friendly Trail – Check trail rules and pick a suitable hike for your dog’s fitness level. Leash your dog if they don’t have a reliable recall and respect other dogs in passing
💦Pack the Essentials – Bring water, a collapsible bowl, treats, a leash, p**p bags, and a small first aid kit in case of emergencies
🐾Protect Their Paws & Health – Watch for hot or rough terrain and use natural methods like essential oil sprays to prevent fleas and ticks
🌞Prevent Overheating & Exhaustion – Hike during cooler times of the day and watch for signs of overheating like excessive panting or slowing down
💩Clean up after your dog — Always pick up your dog’s p**p as it can harm wildlife, pollute water sources, and ruin an experience for others

How to PROTECT your dog’s joints 🐶💪

🐾 Daily Movement – Regular, low-impact exercise helps keep joints flexible and strong.

🥩 Maintain a Healthy Weight – Extra pounds put unnecessary strain on joints. Keeping your pup at a healthy weight reduces stress and prevents early wear and tear.

🌊 Low-Impact Activities – Swimming, gentle walks, and stretching exercises keep joints moving without putting too much stress on them.

💤 Prioritize Rest & Recovery – Just like humans, dogs need time to recover! Provide a comfortable, supportive bed and let them rest after high-activity days to avoid overuse injuries.

🐶 Supplements Matter – Look for ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and green lipped mussel to nourish cartilage.

Start early, and your pup will thank you later! 🐾💙
