🙀 Tired of your finicky feline turning up their nose at mealtime? We've got the scoop on how to keep their taste buds excited. Check out this blog post to learn how to make mealtime an adventure for your kitty. 😸

You’re at your local independent pet retailer to pick up cat food. These days you don’t bother with dry kibble and speed past it straight to the canned food, nothing but the best for your kitty (you’ve heard great things about raw, maybe next time). A new canned food catches your eye and even ...

Despite popular belief, persistent cat vomiting is NOT normal. Potential causes of vomiting may include hairballs, poor quality food filled with starches, kidney/liver disease, dehydration, or cats eating too quickly, eating too much, or eating something they shouldn't.

Things you can do to prevent persistent vomiting include:
😺 Feeding multiple smaller meals throughout the day. If you aren't home, you could try a treat dispensing ball or even hiding some dry food around the house
😺 Grooming your cat to remove excessive hair
😺 Offering probiotics to help restore good gut bacteria and reduce inflammation
😺 Providing plenty of fresh water
😺 Adding nutrient-rich bone broth to rehydrate your cat

If your cat continues to have a problem, please consult your veterinarian.

🐶🐱 Let's chat about the vital importance of keeping our fur babies' weight in check. ⚖️

Maintaining a healthy weight isn't just about appearances – it's about their overall well-being! 🌟 Excess pounds can lead to a range of health issues like joint problems, heart concerns, and even a shorter lifespan. 😔 But fear not, we have the power to make a positive change!

Regular exercise and portion control are our secret weapons in the fight against pet obesity. 🐕🍖 Let's keep those play sessions fun and engaging, and ensure we're feeding them a balanced diet appropriate for their age and activity level.

Remember, a healthy weight means more cuddles, more adventures, and more precious moments together. Let's help our furry friends live their best, healthiest lives! 🐕🐈💪

😺🍽️ Due to the extreme sensitivity of your cat’s whiskers, cats can easily become stressed if their whiskers are constantly rubbing against their food or water bowl.

If your cat is only eating food in the center of the bowl, knocking their bowl over, or pawing out food, they may be experiencing whisker stress.

💡 To help your kitty out, try feeding them from a shallow, wide bowl, a pet platter/Lick Mat (Mine Pet Platter = our favorite featured here), or even off a plate.

🐕🐈 Good nutrition is evident when 💩 is small, firm, and leaves little to no trace when you pick it up! This is a great indicator that your pet is absorbing the majority of the nutrients, so less waste is produced. The same is true for cats.

🌈 Just like us, variety is key to a balanced and healthy diet for our pets. Rotating proteins ensures they get a wide range of essential nutrients and amino acids, promoting optimal health from the inside out. 🌟 Plus, it reduces the risk of developing food allergies or sensitivities that can arise from feeding the same protein source for too long.

So, whether it's beef, chicken, turkey, or even fish, let's keep their taste buds excited and their bodies thriving by mixing it up! 🐕🐈

😺 It's so of course we have to give our feline friends the spotlight.

🐶😺 Studies have shown that as little as 15% over healthy ideal weight can shorten the lives of dogs and cats by up to 2 years! Being just a little overweight can accelerate the development of painful joints, lameness, and the need for pain medications to live a comfortable life. It is suggested to check your pet's body condition once a month using this knuckle test. This method is especially helpful for long-haired breeds.

🦷️ Carbohydrate-rich diets stick to your pet's teeth and can create a breeding ground for bacteria in your pet's mouth, potentially leading to dental problems like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. 🍖 Raw pet food, on the other hand, is primarily composed of meat, bones, and organs, providing a balanced and low-carb diet for your pets. Raw combined with brushing and vet check-ups promotes healthy teeth and fresh breath that will melt your heart with every wag and purr! 🌟

✅ Yes! You can mix raw & kibble! No, it does NOT matter that raw/cooked digests at different rates - so does a lot of food eaten together. Remember that adding as little as 20% fresh ingredients can improve your pet's diet

Adding some raw is very common for those who cannot afford to feed totally raw. 💡Here are some ideas to add raw to kibble:
🐶 Add-in a commercial raw diet over their kibble - OR - Feed one raw meal and the next meal kibble
🐐 Raw Goat's Milk/Yogurt. Great for pets with digestive issues, allergies, & picky eaters.
🥚 Crack an egg over their food a couple of times a week. It is a great source of protein.
🐟 Add oily fish like sardines once a week. The Omega-3's help promote a healthy, shiny coat, promote cardiovascular health, and improve brain function
🍖 Add bone broth to help joints and provide hydration; plus it's very palatable for picky eaters or sick pets.
🥛 Kefir kills yeast and is a natural antibiotic and anti-fungal.

Summer is here, and the scorching heat can be tough on our furry friends. 🐶😓 Make sure they stay cool and comfortable during these sunny days with these pawsome tips:

1️⃣ Hydration is Key: Keep those water bowls filled and refreshed throughout the day. 💦 Add some ice cubes to their water to keep it cool and enticing.

2️⃣ Seek the Shade: Create shady spots in your yard. 🏠 Keep your pup away from direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours.

3️⃣ Chill Zone: Set up a designated cool area indoors with a fan or air conditioning. 🌬️ Create a comfy spot with a cooling mat or wet towels for your pup to relax on.

4️⃣ Refreshing Treats: Freeze dog-friendly treats like ice cubes made with low-sodium broth or fruit slices. 🍉🥒 These icy delights will help your dog cool down and provide a refreshing snack.

5️⃣ Paws on Pavement: Avoid walking your pup on hot pavement or asphalt, as it can burn their sensitive paw pads. Stick to grassy areas or walk during cooler times of the day. 👟🐾

6️⃣ Swimming Fun: If your furry friend enjoys water, introduce them to a kiddie pool or take them to a dog-friendly swimming spot. 🏊‍♂️ Supervise them and ensure their safety while splashing around.

7️⃣ Grooming Matters: Regular brushing helps remove excess fur and keeps their coat well-maintained. However, avoid shaving them too short, as their fur offers protection against sunburn.

8️⃣ Car Safety: Never leave your dog unattended in a parked car, even for a short while. Cars can quickly heat up, leading to dangerous situations for your pup. 🚗❌

By following these guidelines and implementing proper food safety measures, you can confidently provide your pet with safe and nutritious meal made with fish.

🐟 Look for Wild-Caught Fish
Wild-caught fish have a more natural diet and fewer exposure risks to antibiotics, chemicals, and contaminants often associated with fish farming practices.

🐟 Fish Sourced from Trusted Sources
Look for companies that prioritize quality assurance & follow strict regulations, conduct regular testing for contaminants, and employ sustainable fishing practices.

🐟 Choose Low-Mercury Fish
Deep sea-dwelling fish such as po***ck & cod mainly feed on crustacea which are largely mercury-free.

🐟 Preparation and Safety Precautions:
Freshness is critical. Look for a fish that has been flash-frozen after being caught to ensure parasites are eliminated.

A variety of proteins provides a variety of nutrients to create balance in all the essentials over time.
Tips for rotational feeding:
🐾 We suggest to rotate whenever you restock on food.
🐾 If you have a picky/sensitive eater, mix a little of the new protein with the old protein, gradually increasing the amount each day until they are switched over.
🐾 If you feed multiple times a day, you could feed one protein in the morning and another at night.
🐾 If your pet can only tolerate a single protein, try adding in toppers such as fruits, vegetables, bone broth, raw goat milk, or eggs.

⚠️ Summer is heating up, and it's time to look out for blue-green algae. Blue-green algae is a toxin-producing cyanobacteria that can be found in lakes, ponds and rivers. Exposure to toxins produced by these bacteria can be life-threatening to dogs, humans and other animals. There is no antidote for blue-green algae poisoning, and it can rapidly become fatal.
