🐾 Your Boston’s Life Starts in Their Gut 🐾

If you own a Boston Terrier, you already know they’re a special breed.

But here’s what most owners don’t know…
Your Boston’s tummy—their microbiome—is the key to their entire health and how long they live. 💔

Bostons are prone to bladder stones, colitis, skin issues, allergies, and more.

And far too many cases start because of what’s in their bowl.

Here’s the hard truth:

Most commercial dog food is made with fake, highly processed ingredients—synthetic vitamins, fillers, and preservatives.

It’s like eating fast food for every meal, for years. Eventually… the body can’t keep up.

The good news?
You have the power to change that today. 🙌

At Olive & Co., we believe in real, whole, species-appropriate food—the way nature intended.
Whether you make it at home with our own recipe or buy fresh from our partner Raw, you’ll be giving your Boston the best shot at a long, happy, healthy life. 🐶💚

Because when you feed their tummy right,
You protect their heart.
You protect their kidneys.
You protect their years.

Don’t wait until something goes wrong to make the change.

Your Boston depends on you.

Spring is around the corner, and while antibody titers are ideal for most core vaccines, rabies vaccination is required by law. For adult dogs, choosing the 3-year rabies vaccine is a smart option and research suggests spirulina can help support the immune response.

A peer-reviewed study found dogs fed a small amount of spirulina had a faster, stronger antibody response after a rabies shot, without immune overstimulation, inflammation stayed low and normal. These dogs also had higher stool IgA, the gut’s first line of immune defense, which helps block toxins, balance gut bacteria, and support long-term gut health.

Spirulina doesn’t overstimulate immunity; it supports immune communication, gut barrier health, beneficial microbes, and oxidative balance, think immune training, not immune pushing.

Safety note: Spirulina does not naturally produce BMAA. Risk only comes from poor sourcing (wild harvesting, uncontrolled ponds, lack of testing). Well-sourced, GMP-produced, batch-tested spirulina has very low risk, which is especially important for dogs.

Dosage: start with 1/4 tsp🥄 per 20lbs of body weight.

The Future of Pet Probiotics Starts Here…

Most pet probiotics🦠 on the market are human strains, never adapted to the metabolic, immune, or thermal environment of dogs. They’re not designed to survive the journey through a carnivore’s GI tract and accomplish a specific purpose. And many lack evidence of efficacy in the species they’re sold for.

That’s why I developed PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™, a radically different, science-driven approach to rebuilding and maintaining your dog’s microbiome using the very strains nature intended: from wild canids, healthy domestic dogs, and living soil.

The wait is over… / Dr. Karen Becker’s Primitive Probiotic is here!🥳 Comment BETTERBELLY and we’ll send a link straight to your DMs.

This is the hardest post I’ve ever written. Our beloved Apollo the Ember King —the heart of Olive & Co.—is officially retiring from our program.

Apollo is only two years old, neutered, fully up to date on his vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home. 💛

This year, Apollo completed extensive health testing and passed with flying colors. He is, in every way, a picture of health. But he was recently diagnosed with cystinuria, a rare genetic condition that causes bladder stones. This condition is not something typically tested for in Boston Terriers, and in Apollo’s case, neutering resolved the issue—meaning he is expected to live a long, full, healthy life.

Because our program takes so much of our time and energy, we want Apollo to enjoy the rest of his days as a companion, soaking up love and attention as the center of someone’s family.

✨ Adoption Fee: $2,000 ✨

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to welcome a Boston Terrier as special as Apollo into your home. If you’re interested in learning more about adopting him, please DM us or fill out our application with the word “Apollo.”

Apollo has given us everything—and now it’s time for us to give him the best life possible. 🐾

✨Meet Roz — the one we waited years for.✨

When she was born, we actually cried. Then shouted. Because after all these years… after Olive (our very first Boston) and her daughter Ivy… this little girl made our dream come full circle.

Roz is the reverse brindle beauty we prayed for. 🖤

From Olive’s gentle heart to Ivy’s playful spark, every ounce of legacy lives in her tiny paws. She’s the reason we do what we do — preserving not just a bloodline, but a bond.

🐾 Welcome to the world, Roz, our “Legacy Litter” girl — and the future of Olive & Co.

💫 Follow along to watch her grow, learn, and carry on the legacy that started it all.

🐾 Meet Indie — the next generation of Olive & Co. Boston Terriers 🐾

From the moment she opened her eyes, we knew she was something special. A stunning red fawn with a perfect little mask, Indie carries the best of both worlds — her mama Penny’s sweet, loyal soul and the bold, confident charm of her dad Apollo.

She’s not just another Boston — she’s third generation Olive & Co. legacy, born from years of intentional pairing, health-focused breeding, and pure love for this incredible breed. ❤️

Watching her grow feels like watching our story come full circle — from Olive, to Sperri, to Penny, to this beautiful, bright-eyed girl who embodies everything we’ve worked for.

✨ Follow along as Indie grows into the next face of Olive & Co. Boston Terriers — our red-fawn ray of sunshine with a whole lot of heart.
