Senior dogs often have impaired immune systems with lower T cell counts. This leaves them more open to infection & cancer than younger dogs.

But a 2003 study found that older dogs who were given moderate amounts of beta-carotene in their diet saw a boost in their T cell count. The study authors say: 'b-carotene supplementation at moderate concentrations was seen to increase the number of CD4+ T cells to a point where it was no longer different from young dogs.'

Amazing, hey?

Since canned pumpkin is high in beta-carotene, this is as good a reason as any for dishing it out to your senior pups at this time of year! 🎃

Just make sure there are no spices, sweeteners or salt added to your tin before feeding.

A 2-minute DIY screen for pain and reflux.

Most people choose bowl height for convenience or “aesthetics.”
But your dog’s body will tell you what’s actually comfortable, if you know what to look for.

Here’s the test:
Next mealtime, film your dog eating from three different heights:
1️⃣ Bowl flat on the floor
2️⃣ Bowl raised roughly to elbow height
3️⃣ Bowl slightly higher, between elbow and chest

Then, replay the footage in slow motion.
Watch posture.
Watch how the ears and eyes sit.
Listen for swallowing effort.
Notice if your dog licks, gulps, or shifts weight mid-meal.

The most neutral, easy, quiet version - that’s the right height.

If you see tension, hunching, or fast swallowing at any height, don’t ignore it.
Neck, forelimb, or GI pain can show up right here, at the bowl.

It’s not a diagnosis, it’s a clue.
And for a lot of dogs, that one clue is the first step toward real relief.

🎥 Try the test, and tell us which bowl height your dog chose.
