BPA in Canned Pet Food

https://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2022/02/28/bpa-in-canned-pet-food.aspx?ui=2e60938403f0e7740237b510772504162f07223c9bac923c80a7b79dba5aa833&sd=20211101&cid_source=petsnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1ReadMore&cid=20220228Z1&mid=DM1118645&rid=1420288246

A 2017 study concluded that even short-term feeding of canned dog food dramatically increases dogs' exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA), an industrial chemical.

What would happen if you fed your dog🐶 245 cloves of garlic🧄 in a week??

21 years ago an experiment was conducted by Japanese scientists🇯🇵 who wanted to know what would happen if dogs were fed lots of Garlic Extract🧄💦 for 7 days straight.

At the end of the trial, NO dogs died.🙏

In fact, none of the dogs even showed any symptoms, but the scientists found microscopic🔬 changes in some red blood cells🩸, leading to the conclusion that garlic may be toxic☠️ to dogs.

How much garlic extract was fed to these dogs in the study, you ask? Well it would be the equivalent of feeding a 70lb golden retriever🐕 245 cloves of garlic for one week (2.46lbs of raw garlic).

Since then, the ASPCA, American Kennel Club, HSUS and most online pet resources continue to say “garlic is toxic to pets," but garlic is listed as a safe pet food ingredient by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). Confused? So are most pet lovers around the world.

Tune in to our Forever Dog Food Myth Busters Facebook live tomorrow at 10am ET on The Forever Dog page.

We cover garlic confusion and many other urban legend food fears in our upcoming book, The Forever Dog, available now for pre-order.

SUPERCHARGE YOUR DOG’S MEALS WITH THIS EASY RECIPE! 🐶🥣

Great for dogs that are recovering from GI issues, picky eaters, and older pets with declining appetites, bone broth🦴 is one of the Forever Fluids highlighted in The Forever Dog. This bone broth recipe from our book is different than traditional recipes, which can be high in histamines that can negatively affect some dogs.🐶 In addition to having a shorter cooking time, we also included several of our favorite longevity vegetables in this recipe for added health benefits:

🌱Cilantro, effective at binding heavy metals.

🌿Parsley, a natural blood detoxifier.

🍄Medicinal mushrooms (shiitake, turkey tail, reishi, oyster, etc) provide glutathione, spermidine, ergo, and beta-glucans for cognition🧠 and immune health.

🧄Garlic is high in sulfur stimulating production of glutathione for liver detoxification. Watch our FB Live dispelling the myth about garlic for dogs, link in comments.👇

Poured over your dog's food as a meal topper or fed as a treat, bone broth is a great addition to their diet! Feed 2 tablespoons🥄 for every 10 lbs of body weight.

You can find more easy recipes like this one, other types of broths, and additional longevity foods in our book The Forever Dog.
