When it's quiet time in the daycare center most dogs chill and relax but some dogs, like this one, use the time to let their character shine. Or was it just upside down day?

This photo was posted by a holistic veterinarian. Read the circled paragraph. If/when you have your pet vaccinated, please advocate for them. Never allow them to be vaccinated if they are compromised. Your job as a pet parent is to speak up for them!

"Our research indicated that dogs fed a non-processed meat-based diet during the weaning period, puppyhood, and adolescence, which corresponds to the age range of 1 month to 1 or 1.5 years, were associated with a significantly lower risk of developing DC later in life. Conversely, dogs consumed an ultra-processed carbohydrate-based diet during the same periods was associated with a significantly higher risk (p = 0.01, p = 0.001, and p = 0.02 for weaning, puppyhood, and adolescence, respectively). Additionally, residing with other dogs was significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of DC development later in life (p = 0.015). Moreover, from the non-modifiable factors model, a maternal history of DC and small size of the dog were strongly associated with an increased risk of DC development later in life."
