Correcting misinformation!

As per Dr. Karen Becker:

"Here’s a corrected infographic to help fix the popular but incorrect meme that has been circulating on social media.

Please DON’T post “But I’ve heard X food is toxic” in the comments, rather, post the research studies (not links to outdated dog websites or blogs that haven’t bothered to clarify their poorly written material) about foods that have been declared “toxic” if consumed by pets with no science to back up the claim.

When you spend time searching the literature for toxicology studies on the feeding of fresh fruits and veggies to pets you come up shockingly empty-handed. AAFCO/FEDIAF state we should not feed these foods to pets: onions, grapes/raisins, macadamia nuts and chocolate. Those studies exist, but that’s it.
4 foods.

Compare that to never ending TOXIC/DON’T FEED lists found all over social media and it’s so confusing; even worse, people share these posts without doing any research.

There’s a big difference between feeding a giant pit in a fruit (or a wad of bark or leaves) and feeding normal amounts the actual edible fruit or veggie; same goes for your two-legged kids.

Toddlers and pets need to have the rinds, cores, seeds, leaves, stems and pits of fruits removed prior to eating, and all fruits and veggies need to be chopped into tiny, bite-sized pieces. Common sense, right?

I believe pet parents also have some common sense and won’t offer rinds, pits or cores to their pets as treats; AKC and ASPCA, please update or clarify your out-of-date website info 🙏🏼.
Suggestion for pet websites discussing feeding real foods: put a * by foods that have a rind, pit, core or stem.

Remind folks training treats should less than 10% of an animal’s daily calories, and if your pet has never had the new food before, always feed them slowly, giving the GI tract time to adjust. Chop them into tiny pieces and offer in moderation.

It’s time to declare common sense for the win; pet parents aren’t idiots, so it’s time we stop perpetuating fear-based myths and denying animals the fresh food treats they deserve. "

🕯️ Hidden Dangers in Your Home: Air Fresheners 🐾

Did you know that 75% of homes use air fresheners, but many of these contain toxic chemicals like benzene that could be harming your pets?🙀☠️

A new study shows a link between benzene exposure and lymphoma in dogs. The worst part? These chemicals aren’t clearly labeled, they're often disguised under vague terms like “fragrance”.

These toxins don’t just stay in the air. They land on:
🛏️ Pet bedding
🎾 Toys
🥣 Food & water bowls
🐶 Even your pet’s fur

💡Instead of putting your pets at risk, try a natural, pet-safe air freshener using this simple simmer pot recipe shared from our book The Forever Dog LIFE.

🍲Simmer Pot Directions:
1. Bring a small pot of water to a soft boil (or gentle boi in an uncovered slow cooker) and add all ingredients.
2. Reduce heat to simmer for 2-3 hours, allowing the aromas to fill your home. Make sure the water doesn’t dry out, dd additional water if necessary.
3. To turn your leftover liquid into a natural room spray, strain the liquid and allow it to cool. Then store in a clean, glass spray bottle. Use within a few days.

You can find more simmer pot scent recipes along with recipes for our pet-safe room sprays and deodorizers in our book The Forever Dog LIFE.

Rundown Ranch Cattle Dogs, LLC

We have been raising Australian Cattle Dogs since 1998. Unfortunately we found that most of the Cattle Dogs in our area have health problems due to poor breeding and decided that we wanted to change that.

We have spent a significant amount of time seeking out the best kennels across the nation. We make sure that our breeding stock have good blood lines and are fully health tested. It is important to us that we raise beautiful healthy dogs with good personalities and working drive. Even if you are not looking for a working dog, it should still have the right traits and drive.

All of our dogs are treated like family and are handled daily. We take a little bit different approach to feeding and healthcare than most breeders. We don’t just look at the cost of care, we look at the quality first and foremost. All of our dogs are insured through Trupanion and each puppy from a litter will come with limited benefits.

Here at the Rundown Ranch we only feed raw diets once the puppy reaches 12 months of age. During the transition from mother’s milk to raw, we feed a combination of a top quality natural kibble and raw food. Even their treats and bones are important. We found a quality commercial treat that consists of only 5 natural ingredients with no colors or fillers. And you can always find a raw beef bone or two (or three or more) laying around for them to gnaw. Bones provide important nutrients from the marrow and help keep their teeth clean and white. They also help prevent chewing on the wrong things. Like people, dogs need additional vitamins and supplements. Cattle dogs are active and require joint care from an early age to minimize arthritis and joint related issues. We regularly do blood work to monitor their overall health. Our dogs are in excellent condition and it shows in their coats and annual exams.
