🐶💚 Did you know dogs that maintain a lean body condition can live up to two years longer?

A long-term study published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine found that dogs kept at an ideal weight not only lived longer but also enjoyed better quality of life and mobility as they aged. You can read the study here:
👉 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5890640/

Keeping your pet at a healthy weight is one of the simplest, and most powerful, ways to support longevity and vitality. 🌿

🐾🚶‍ Did you know walking your dog is one of the simplest, and most powerful, tools for weight management?

Regular walks support healthy weight, improve digestion, reduce stress, and strengthen your bond with your pup. 💚

👉 Exercise is a great option that pet owners can do right at home. For overweight pets, start with short walks on flat surfaces in the cool morning hours to avoid overheating and keep it safe. Small, consistent steps lead to big results over time!

🍂🐾 Fall Health for Pets: Burdock Root (Arctium lappa | Gobo Root)

As we shift into fall, it’s the perfect time to nourish and strengthen your pet’s immune system with seasonal herbs and foods. 🌿

Burdock root, also known as Gobo root, is both a medicine and a food. It provides deep healing and nourishment to the body systems that most directly influence immunity, including the lymphatic system, kidneys, bowels, liver, and gallbladder.

This time of year, you can often find it fresh at Asian markets or even at your local Whole Foods!

🥣 A simple way to add Burdock Root to your pet’s diet is by including it in your bone broth or soup recipes. Chop 1-2 stalks and simmer them in your stock for a gentle, food-based way to deliver the benefits of this incredible plant.

Whole-food nourishment = whole-body wellness. 💚

🍂🐾 It’s officially fall, and feeding your pet foods that align with the season is a wonderful way to support their health!

Did you know the ancestors of our dogs and cats ate whole prey, which included organ meat? Packed with vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients, organ meats provide dense nutrition in small amounts, helping your pet feel satisfied without excess calories. That’s why Dr. Kim recommends adding a little organic organ meat to your pet’s daily diet for optimal health. 🌿

This month is National Pet Obesity Awareness Month, a perfect reminder that nutrient-rich foods can support healthy weight, strong digestion, and overall vitality.

🎥 Check out this short video to learn how to make organ meat treats for your pets!
