35 years of guidance for our clients, we are always here to help you make the best choice for the specific needs of your dog.
Providing extensive knowledge in many areas of nutrition. Kidney, liver, or weight loss diets don’t have to taste and look like cardboard.
Leave those fillers behind! If you feel a need to add filler, why not add one yourself to a quality food? Use a quality ingredient!

A large peer-reviewed study survey of over 8,800 pet owners found that only about 14% rely on veterinary advice when choosing what to feed their pets, meaning the vast majority of decisions are influenced by forces outside the exam room. While the study didn’t investigate the reasons behind this gap, it highlights a clear disconnect between pet parents’ priorities and where they get their information, especially as many owners are increasingly seeking minimally processed and human grade diet choices that aren’t found in veterinary clinics.

Rather than pointing to a lack of trust, the findings suggest an opportunity: as interest in evolving nutrition grows, there’s a chance for veterinarians to play a more active role in guiding these conversations and helping bridge the gap between ultraprocessed, feed grade diets and what pet parents are actually looking for.

Oral flea and tick meds. We promote everything natural. These toxins 😡 Think about it this way, would you eat one?

Scientists have uncovered a potential explanation for why some dogs experience seizures and other neurological issues after taking common flea and tick medications like Bravecto, NexGard, Credelio, Simparica, and Revolution. Real-world reports show that certain dogs, especially puppies, older dogs, or those with genetic vulnerabilities, can develop tremors, seizures, or other nervous system problems. The study suggests that these drugs may reach the brain through a “back door” pathway called centripetal (retrograde) axonal transport, bypassing the usual protective blood brain barrier. Additionally, certain chemical additives in the medications, such as PFAS compounds, may increase this risk by helping the drugs enter nerve cells or acting as neurotoxic agents themselves. Overall, this research highlights a previously underappreciated nerve pathway that could explain why some dogs are more susceptible to neurological side effects from flea and tick treatments.

Great information. Read on before spaying or neutering your dogs.

We all want to prevent unwanted litters, but preventing litters does not have to mean removing hormones. There is a newer approach.

Veterinary reproduction specialists are increasingly recommending hormone preserving sterilization, a way to prevent unwanted litters while supporting long term health. Procedures like vasectomies and o***y sparing spays (hysterectomies) can be performed safely as early as 8 weeks, allowing dogs to retain the natural hormones their bodies need. For female dogs, an o***y-sparing spay can prevent pyometra because the uterus is removed, so the infection has nowhere to develop.

The 2026 peer-reviewed study published in the journal Animals by Isabel Pires and Rita Files on urinary bladder cancer in dogs and cats highlights that spaying and neutering (gonadectomy) are associated with an increased risk of urothelial carcinoma (UC), particularly in dogs, though the evidence is observational rather than causal. One cited epidemiological study found that neutered dogs had approximately 4.6 times higher odds (OR ≈ 4.57) of developing UC compared to intact dogs, suggesting a strong statistical association. The proposed biological mechanism centers on hormonal changes after sterilization: removal of the go**ds eliminates s*x hormone feedback, causing luteinizing hormone (LH) levels to rise dramatically (up to ~30× normal), which may stimulate cell proliferation in tissues like the bladder and potentially contribute to carcinogenesis. Additionally, neutering is linked to metabolic changes such as increased appetite, reduced metabolic rate, and a higher likelihood of obesity—another independent risk factor for cancer due to chronic inflammation and altered adipokine signaling.

It’s about time! So much suffering for years has gone on. Guess what that “Science Diet dog food” that is so wonderful… they are owned by Palmolive/Colgate. One of THE notorious companies that does take part in animal testing in labs. Well how about that for your brain to comprehend! I thought they loved all the dogs on the planet. Shame on you Hills for being part of this horror. 🌍 😡

There are images that stay with you forever — a trembling dog in a cold metal room, the soft whine of an animal who doesn’t understand why they’re there, the quiet hope in their eyes even when hope feels impossible. For decades, countless dogs — beagles especially — have lived inside laboratories where their names are replaced with numbers and their lives measured in tests, not moments.

But something extraordinary is happening right now in the United States.

A historic initiative, led in part by public figures including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is pushing toward what animal advocates have been fighting for over half a century:
an end to animal testing for good.

This movement isn’t about politics.
It’s about compassion.
It’s about science evolving beyond suffering.
It’s about recognizing that dogs — with their wagging tails, their trust, their love — deserve safety, not pain.

What’s fueling the momentum isn’t just speeches or headlines. It’s the proof: modern alternatives now exist. Scientists across the world have developed advanced technologies — organ-on-a-chip systems, AI-driven simulations, cell-based testing models — that can predict human responses more accurately than animal testing ever could. In fact, multiple studies show that over 90% of drugs tested safe on animals fail in human trials, revealing the heartbreaking truth: the old way doesn’t just harm animals… it doesn’t work well for people either.

The world has been watching this shift closely.
Not because of political rivalry or noise.
But because millions of people, across all backgrounds, quietly agree on one simple belief: dogs should never suffer for human progress.

In recent years, more than 4,000 beagles were rescued from a single U.S. testing facility — a moment that shocked the nation and broke open a conversation that could no longer be pushed aside. Those dogs now sleep in warm beds, learn what grass feels like, and finally discover that hands can be gentle. Their stories have become symbols in this growing fight.

And now, with new bills being drafted, bipartisan support appearing in unexpected places, and a global eye on laboratory reform, America stands closer than ever to a future where animal testing fades into history.

Picture what that future could look like:

A dog who once trembled under fluorescent lights now curled next to a child on a couch.
A former “test subject” running across a backyard for the first time.
A world where science advances without sacrificing innocent lives.

It’s emotional.
It’s overdue.
And it’s possible — because people are finally refusing to look away.

Whether you support the political figure behind the microphone or not, the message rising from this movement is one every dog lover can stand behind:
Their lives matter. Their comfort matters. Their future matters.

And for the first time in a very long time… the world is listening.

Think long and hard if you want a Border Collie. They are not for couch potatoes! Hahahaha. My Hendry would run all day if he had his way. Beautiful and busy dogs who love work and challenging tasks.
