Thinking about feeding one of those new insect based pet foods? Eating a food made with concentrated number of insects carrying this bacteria will directly impact your pet's gut bacteria profile and health.

"Erwinia persicina (U80205) – a bacterium usually found on rotting vegetables and in soil. Insects like black soldier fly larvae and mealworms are often raised on composted plant waste — and Erwinia is a natural part of that environment."

From Carol Hughes - Biome 4 Pets and Gerald Pepin The Canine Nutritionist

Disclaimer. ''The views expressed are my own''

This is my opinion based recent results, and compared to my extensive microbiome database.

As the major manufacturers of pet food enter the market with insect based diets for dogs and interest is forecasted to rise in the future (currently 5% of dog owners feed insect food). How is that likely to affect us all as bacteria are released into the general environment. These bacteria are opportunistic ie as percentages increase they take the opportunity to cause disease and illness in compromised dogs.

🐛🦠 Is This Bacterium in Your Dog’s Gut Coming from Insects?

👉 Erwinia persicina (U80205) – a bacterium usually found on rotting vegetables and in soil.
So how did it get into your dog’s gut?
🔬 Insects like black soldier fly larvae and mealworms are often raised on composted plant waste — and Erwinia is a natural part of that environment. It can:
✔️ Live inside the insect gut
✔️ Stick to the insect body
✔️ Survive food processing methods

💡 The microbiome reflects what your dog eats, including the bugs!

🐶 If Erwinia persicina shows up at high levels:
✅ Check your dog’s diet
✅ Rotate protein sources
✅ Add gut-friendly fibres (like pumpkin or inulin)

The gut never lies — it’s just reporting what went in 🧬


We are seeing levels at 17% of the total microbiome, causing imbalances, dysbiosis and inflammation.
Please check your dogs diet and I'll keep you updated!

Thanks, The Canine Nutritionist

Not doing house calls! I haven't in over a year.

1. I don't own a car, I don't have a driver's license. I cannot operate a mobile business.

2. The economy sucks. Mobile grooming is a luxury service with massive overhead that fluctuating gas prices hold by the BALLS. 😡
I Charge $90/ an hour to groom house call and still have too many clients calling me. Gas prices were lower in 2020 and I charged $70/hr and had too many clients to fit on the schedule.

If I start to charge what gas prices are at now?? People would suddenly find whatever it was they needed in order to take their dog to a cheaper in building salon. 🙄 all of the sudden fluffy CAN ride in the car. Suddenly you have enough time to drop the dog off during a work from home lunch break. Because it's cheaper. And I'm saying that I GET IT. Please do whatever you can to save money! But asking for mobile grooming services for less than the cost it takes to drive to you while you sit on your own 🍑 in your own home isn't it. 🥺 Ok?
Do you know how HEAVY dragging half a portable grooming shop in and out of an Uber is??

3. That last one was a long bullet point..
I can't do any mobile grooming because I opened a grooming shop location in Corning NY that has been operating for over a year.

I'd love for you to come see it or at least support it on Facebook. 💞
I've been grooming for TWENTY Straight years. 🥺
It doesn't seem possible does it?

But I've finally opened up my own grooming spa and I enjoy running it the way I love to with organic and natural shampoos, cage free dog areas, cat grooming and boarding. All natural and raw food in my sale boutique on the first floor.
