real food is good

Version 3 of our herbal dosage chart with some new additions! :) Rodney Habib

What you choose to put in your puppy’s bowl at an early stage can literally affect their whole life, not to mention your bank account with future vet bills if... you decide to add nothing to their food! I only feed my dog their kibble, I NEVER give them anything else! was once a proud pet owner statement, but microbiome research proves this is a BIG mistake. Study after study shows the more diverse your pet’s bowl is, the healthier their gut and immune system can become. A brand new study from Finnish Veterinary Scientists shows healthy human food leftovers offered to puppies significantly reduces allergy symptoms and skin problems later in life. This long-term, protective effect increased the more often real foods were added, so the more exposure puppies had to a variety of healthy leftovers, the more protection there was from developing skin issues down the road. even if the dog eats 80% of its food as dry, adding a minimum of 20% of the food as raw significantly decreased the risk of AASS [allergic skin disease] later in life. Dr. Anna Hielm-Björkman According to the scientists, feeding a variety raw or minimally processed, real food early in life may lead to microbial exposure that enhances the immune system early on, reducing allergic responses later in life. Some of the foods owners fed in this study were fish and meats, vegetables and roots, culinary mushrooms, buttermilk and other fermented milk products and berries. In our new book, The Forever Dog, we list over 40 of our favorite fresh foods from the fridge to add to your dog’s bowl, backed by the most surprising new science as to why they’re so amazing at building health and longevity! We also show you how to add them in a way that keeps your pup’s nutrition in balance.

If your dog or cat has food allergies, this new study is for you! According to the study, rotating the superfood Spirulina into your pet’s diet plan can help... prevent or relieve food intolerances (aka food allergies) by supporting intestinal immune function. But get this: the jaw-dropping, unexpected part of the study was when they fed the dogs Spirulina before a Rabies shot, the dogs had a faster and stronger induction of rabies antibody production! Basically, Spirulina helped supercharge the protection against Rabies! Wow! Want to learn about other ways to positively influence your dog’s immune system, including food issues and allergies?

Not even trying to enter the contest (although, if you love Paco too, I think you should!)...I absolutely adore this brand! I first stumbled across Paco at the OC Pet Expo in 2009 and bought collars for my entire pack. Ana and her colleagues have always been so accommodating on customizations and even quick fixes at shows when my dogs have worn their collars a little too well They have awesome human accessories as well, belts, bracelets...anything you can think of to match your pups well dressed attire.
