Food for thought...

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. You’ll want to check out the section called: “Core Longevity Toppers: Superfoods You Can Share with Your Dog on a Daily Basis.” We’ve also included handy charts on which foods are best at building your dog’s microbiome, powerful polyphenol-rich foods, as well as a long list of fast-n-fresh training treats, if you’re on the go. The Forever Dog book is now available for pre-order worldwide! www.ForeverDog.com/about

In memory of our fallen heroes. For all who gave their yesterdays, we thank you and honor you on this Memorial day.
And a fido friendly reminder that our hotel booking engine is deactivated. We apologize for this inconvenience as we are in the midst of a post pandemic pivot. More soon.

Dear TravelDog friends and fans, our hotel booking engine is deactivated. It has been down for a couple of months.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Covid-19 hit the travel industry hard. Because our hotel bookings were sparse in 2020, we lost our corporate travel partner.

There’s no sense in tap dancing around this any longer. We’ve got some exciting new moves on the horizon!

The Happy Hound Dance? The Canine Can-Can? Doggie Doo-Wop? Ballroom Barker? Fido Folk Dance?

None of the above, my friends!

This is what we call the PANDEMIC POOCH PIVOT!

Soon you may boogie on down to our new and reimagined booking engine when we reveal our pawsitively terrific, pandemic-driven TravelDog twist!

Excited to have y'all on board the newly choreographed GoTravelDog train.

COMING IN JUNE.

FYI...

Here is another example of a deadly plant available at Lowes this weekend. This is a Sago Palm. Ingestion of ANY part of this by dogs or cats is toxic and often results in liver failure and death. The seeds are the most toxic part.

If you have pets, do NOT buy this plant. I really wish there was signage by these warning pet owners of their toxicity.

Happy Sunday, all. It is raining and dreary where I sit today. But there is a dog sitting next to me, so my world is bright and beautiful. Who can say the same?

Signed, puppies everywhere.
