🐾 **BEYOND THE BOWL — LET'S MAKE MEALTIME MORE EXCITING!** 🐶🐱

Does your pet get excited when you add a little something extra to their dinner? 😍

Sometimes a splash, sprinkle or crumble is all it takes to introduce some delicious variety!

Here at **The Wholesome Hound**, we have plenty of options to explore:

🥛 Happy Days Goat Milk
🍲 BellaChow Bone Broth & Gravy
🐟 Shay's Way Fish Toppers
🥩 Crumps' Sprinkles
🐑 K9 Feline Natural
🐾 Smack Pet Food

You can also try simple additions like plain sardines, cooked egg or unsweetened pumpkin, when appropriate for your pet.

💚 Remember, extras should generally stay within 10% of daily calories unless they're part of a complete and balanced meal plan. Always follow product feeding directions.

Now for the important question…

👇 **What's YOUR pet's favourite bowl topper?** Fishy, creamy, crunchy or savoury? We want to know!

🐾 **WISDOM WEDNESDAY: DOES YOUR DOG REALLY NEED PROBIOTICS?** 🦠💚

Gut health matters, but here's something that might surprise you…

**Not every dog needs a digestive supplement!** 🐶

Probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes all work differently:

🦠 **Probiotics** — Beneficial microorganisms. Certain strains may help support digestion and stool quality.

🌱 **Prebiotics** — Help nourish selected microorganisms already living in the gut.

🍽️ **Digestive Enzymes** — Help break down food so nutrients can be absorbed. Most healthy dogs produce what they need naturally.

✨ **The takeaway?** More supplements don't automatically mean better digestion!

At The Wholesome Hound, we carry a variety of digestive-support products from Adored Beast, Four Leaf Rover, Biologic Vet, Cannabiscuit, WholeBiotics, FortiFlora and Omega Alpha Probiotic 8 Plus.

Every formula is different, and choosing the right option depends on your dog's individual needs.

Persistent digestive issues should always be investigated by your veterinarian.

💚 **Save this post** for future reference, and stop by the shop if you'd like help comparing ingredients!

I am deeply saddened to read this. My thoughts and heart are with the family, friends and all
who knew Jesse Adams. RIP 💔

💔We have been asked to share this post💔

🌈 It's with a heavy heart that we RainCoast Dog Rescue Society have to announce the passing of our founder Jesse Adams.

After a life lived in service to animal welfare Jesse made the ultimate sacrifice to his beliefs on the frontlines of Ukraine.

As we do our best to navigate this difficult time, we ask for patience and understanding.🌈

🐾🛁 **BATH TIME FOR BOHDI!** 🛁🐾

Even the boss's dog needs a spa day once in a while! 😂

Bohdi usually gets his baths at home during the warmer months, and believe it or not, he actually enjoys them! But when the colder weather rolls around, it's time to take things indoors.

This time, he paid a visit to Auntie Caitlynn at **True Companion Grooming** for a bath and blowout.

As you can probably tell from his expressions, Bohdi wasn't quite as enthusiastic about this bath as he is about his outdoor ones! 😂

And that fur! Anyone who has a German Shepherd knows just how much they shed. I wasn't surprised by the amount that came off him, but judging by his face, I think Bohdi was! 🤣

All things considered, he was a good boy, and he's now looking handsome, feeling fresh and hopefully a whole lot lighter!

A big thank you to Caitlynn for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️

🐾 **Does your dog love bath time, or do they give you the same look Bohdi does?** We'd love to hear!
