Sharing a CSA from with your dog(s) can be so simple, and really gives such a cool full circle feeling. In fact, we’ve eaten seasonally and shared our meat scraps with canines for as long as they’ve existed beside us.

Not only does Deck offer a grind of organ specifically for pets, you can also share their:
Beef and pork bones
Raw milk, yogurt and butter
Chicken hearts
Chicken feet
Produce of all kinds
and sooooo much more.

Years ago, when I first started sourcing meat and seasonal produce to share with my dogs, It really opened my eyes to my own diet and helped me to have a new reverence for where my food came from and how it was raised or grown.

Honoring our dogs in this way, invites us to honor ourselves, our environment, and the creatures we share it with just the same.

What a gift it is to be here sharing our lives with such special companions, able to access so much nourishment nearby!

…but you never know what you’ll see on a walk. 🐕🤷‍♀️

It’s easy to get in the habit of discouraging our dogs from eating grass, as their guardians It’s a bit awful dealing with the inevitable retching and p**p scoots… however, those are the benefits our dogs are innately seeking.

The persistent and intuitive consumption of wild herbs, like common grasses, cleavers, dandelions, and others maintain healthy function through the digestive tract: detoxing, cleaning, and even clearing of some parasites.

Many are under the impression that our dogs will only indulge if they are sick or suffering from stomach pains, and while they certainly may utilize it when that is the case, it’s largely consumed as a preventative, helping to avoid those upsets to begin with.

Some weekly dog grooming go-tos:

🌱 ear rinse made with magic like witch hazel and calendula is the perfect consistent companion in fighting off those pesky infections! Mona has chronic ear gunk, especially after swimming…when I’m on top of it, she is so much more comfortable.

🦴 It’s no secret that bones and animal bits are my favorite way to keep the teeth clean, but there are just some crevices that still get cruddy and that’s where a gentle brushing and scraping come in.

🐾 no surprise, but those nail trims! weekly sounds wild, but it’s the best way to keep those quick moving back for those of us who rescued a pup or let it get the best of us to begin with.
