No Candy For Dogs!

Every Halloween, a dog somehow manages to get into the trick-or-treat candy. Please don’t let it be yours.

Chocolate, xylitol in some sugar-free candy, raisins, and other ingredients can be dangerous or even life-threatening to dogs. Keep candy well out of reach, remind kids and granny not to share, and keep an eye on your dog while the door is opening and closing all night.

If your dog gets into candy, don’t wait to see what happens. Save the wrapper, note what was eaten and how much, and call your veterinarian or a pet poison hotline right away. Don’t induce vomiting or give a remedy unless a professional tells you to. Timing matters. Products matter.

A few first-aid reminders: digestive essential oils, marshmallow root, slippery elm, or spearmint may be part of a digestive support plan for some dogs, but they do not treat poisoning or replace urgent advice. Activated charcoal is not appropriate for every toxin or every dog, and giving it may create additional risks. Use it only when a veterinarian or poison specialist directs you.

ASPCA Animal Poison Control: 888-426-4435. A consultation fee may apply. You can also call Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661; fees may apply.

When in doubt, call promptly. With toxin exposure, getting advice early matters.

One of the easiest mistakes to make is stopping support the minute your dog looks better.

The limp improves.
The itching settles.
The bloodwork moves in the right direction.
The tumor is gone.
The seizures spread out.

And we think, “Okay, we’re done.”

But healing and long-term support rarely work that way.

Sometimes we scale back. Sometimes we change the dose. Sometimes we rotate things, stop something, add something new, or adjust based on what the dog is showing us now.

That is one of the reasons I love the participation inside my membership.

It is not just about getting a guide and disappearing.

It is the ongoing discussions. The questions. The “this worked, but now I’m seeing this.” The reminders to stay consistent. The motivation to keep going when the obvious symptom is gone. The refinements we make as the dog changes.

Because the best plan is not a frozen plan.

It should evolve.

Maybe your dog is predisposed to heart disease, IVDD, seizures, joint problems, pancreatitis, chronic inflammation, kidney disease, or cancer. Maybe there is nothing dramatic to “fix” today.

That does not mean there is nothing useful you can do.

This is where proactive support matters most — and where it is easiest to lose momentum because there is no crisis pushing you.

That is the value of having a place to keep learning, ask questions, compare notes, revisit what you are doing, and make smarter adjustments over time.

Healthy dogs are not built on one big intervention.

They are supported through hundreds of small, thoughtful decisions made consistently.

That is the work we do inside the membership.

Pop in Holistic Dogs: Eat Better. Feel Better. Live Longer. For the zoom link. If I can figure out live streaming I’ll do it in the group. But best discussions will be on zoom!

Stop trying to figure it out in the overwhelm.

Intuition doesn’t have to give you the answer to be useful.

Sometimes its entire job is to make you ask a question you weren’t planning to ask.

That’s something I’ve become much more comfortable with over the years.

There are times in consultations when a question pops into my head that doesn’t seem to belong with the neat little path we were following. Sometimes I know exactly where it came from—experience, pattern recognition, something the dog mom said 20 minutes earlier.

And sometimes?

I have absolutely no freaking idea. 😂

I ask it anyway.

Not because intuition is proof. Not because an impression replaces bloodwork or diagnostics.

Because every once in a while, the answer to that seemingly random question changes the direction of the entire conversation.

I think we sometimes demand too much from intuition. We expect it to tell us what’s wrong or what to do.

Maybe that isn’t always its job.

Maybe sometimes it simply whispers:

“Ask about that.”

And that’s enough.

This is probably one of the more personal Dana’s Takes I’ve written—about intuition, Reiki, animal communication, my family’s history with natural healing, and the things I still can’t completely explain.

I’m curious whether the experienced dog moms here have learned to trust those little nudges more with age—or whether you still argue with yours.

Pancreatitis has a way of making dog moms afraid of the food bowl.

Too much fat?
Wrong treat?
One rogue bite and we're back at the ER?
How Do I get Omega-3 now?

Did anyone help you build a plan for AFTER the ER visit with recovery and prevention in mind —or were you simply told “low fat” and sent home?

Because low fat is a restriction. It is not a recovery nutrition plan.

If your dog has had pancreatitis, tell me:
What are you afraid to feed her now?

What questions has no one answered for you? We're discussing this in the the FB group Holistic Dogs: Eat Better. Feel Better. Live Longer. Join us there.

Two of the most common questions I get --

Allergies are driving me crazy and I've tried everything.
I'd like to learn to make homemade dog food.

And yet, many of you are still struggling.
