Great Info

A new peer-reviewed study analyzing commercial dog and cat foods found multiple mold toxins present across all diets, with higher levels in foods containing more cereal ingredients like corn🌽, wheat🌾, barley, oats, and rice🍚. Researchers detected 63 different compounds⚠️, with common toxins such as DON, zearalenone, and fumonisins often appearing together at low levels.

While all amounts were below safety limits, the study highlights uncertainty around long-term and combined exposure. Pets are exposed to multiple toxins at once, and the effects of these mixtures over time are still largely unknown. Broader research suggests some mycotoxins may act additively or synergistically, potentially amplifying their impact, and have been linked to immune and gut changes in animal models.

Contaminated corn🌽, in particular, has been associated with some of the largest pet food recalls and highest reported pet death events in modern history. Notably, the Midwestern Pet Foods SPORTMiX recall was linked to over 130 dog deaths and 220 illnesses, while a Sunshine Mills recall affected multiple brands. Corn’s susceptibility to heat, humidity, and poor storage makes it a common source of aflatoxin contamination.

It’s allergy🤧 season, and one of the most common issues pet parents notice is itchy, irritated paws.🔥🐾

The good news: a simple, natural routine that helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation before it escalates.

A gentle paw soak made with green tea🍵, stinging nettle🌱, and peppermint tea🌿 can help calm inflammation and support the skin’s response to allergens. These herbs contain natural compounds that can ease itchiness, reduce redness, and discourage that cycle of licking and chewing that makes things worse.

The key is consistency and timing. Starting early, before paws become raw and inflamed, can make a big difference and may help reduce the need for stronger interventions like steroids💊 later on.

DIY Allergen-Removing Paw Soak

Add to 1 gallon of simmering water:
• 12 stinging nettle tea bags
• 6 green tea bags
• 6 peppermint tea bags

Turn off the heat and let it cool completely. Remove tea bags once cooled. Add 1 teaspoon of Primitive Probiotics. Stir well.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Use as a soak or rinse for your dog’s paws after outdoor exposure to help remove allergens and soothe the skin.

If you haven’t added a high-quality probiotic to your dog’s routine yet, there’s a reason this matters. That’s exactly why created PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™—a science-driven formula designed to help rebuild your dog’s microbiome using strains sourced from wild canids, healthy dogs, and living soil.
