EAT & FEED BLUEBERRIES!

In a study conducted on sled dogs, blueberry supplementation elicited significantly elevated antioxidant status in the dogs.

This suggests that dogs fed blueberries should be better protected against oxidative damage. -

Aside from being classified as antiangiogenic aka anti-cancer, blueberries contain a compound called pterostilbene, a derivative of resveratrol.

These little blue powerhouses are good antioxidants because they contain phenolics that preferentially react with free radicals.

So, offering your furry companion blueberries can help protect them against cancer!

WHAT IF YOUR DOG COULD DOUBLE HER EXPECTED LIFESPAN?! 🦮🤩

For a breed that has an average lifespan of only 10 years, Augie doubled that living to 20 (just one month shy of her 21st birthday!). Believed to be the world’s oldest golden retriever, Augie is an example of the benefits of core longevity principles: staying active physically and socially throughout life (at 17, she spent an entire year exploring the country in an RV with her human and fur-family). 🚙🗺🐶

There is overwhelming research and evidence about how exercise can dramatically improve a dog’s health and life. The longevity power of keeping our dogs lean and giving them plenty of appropriate exercise shines through with Augie. When we interviewed her guardian Steve Hetterscheidt for The Forever Dog, he told us Augie swam an hour to an hour-and-a-half every day (pictured here at 16 🤯), and was often eager to continue retrieving the ball even after the younger dogs were tired. And despite slowing down as she got older, she continued moving and loved daily walks with her pack around their property. 👫🐕🦮🐕 As we explain in the book, giving older dogs plenty of time to smell outside every day is critical not only for exercise but for their enrichment and engagement with the world. Steve perceptively told us, “I always thought something that really contributed to her longevity was she exercised so much.”

FEEDING DRY PET FOOD OR TREATS? WHY YOU SHOULD BE ADDING THIS VEGETABLE TO THEIR DOG’S DIET! 🥕🐶

Pet food companies all around the globe are struggling to control mold levels🧫 in dry and canned pet food, with dozens of lawsuits developing over pet deaths.

Pets that eat food containing unsafe levels of these molds are highly susceptible to aflatoxin poisoning. These fungal toxins not only can cause organ damage and immune problems, consumption of aflatoxins has been associated with increased risk of developing liver cancer!

One easy way to counteract the harmful effects of aflatoxins is to feed apiaceous vegetables such as carrots.🥕 Carrots contain polyacetylenes, an unusual class of compounds that play an important role in detoxifying several cancer-causing substances, specifically these AFLATOXINS.

Eliminating aflatoxins from your dog’s body can be really difficult but serving up carrots is a great way to enhance the metabolism of these toxic compounds!

💁🏻‍♂️HOW TO FEED: Raw or cooked, carrots make great training treats or can be minced and added in with your dog’s food. Chop carrots into a bite-size pieces appropriate for your dog’s size. The green leaves of carrots can also be fed for an added boost of antioxidants and nutrients.
