A new peer-reviewed study shows that certain flea and tick products—especially dips, sprays, and collars containing organophosphates, carbamates, or pyrethrins, are linked to a higher risk of bladder cancer (urothelial carcinoma) in dogs. Many of these products also contain “synergists” like piperonyl butoxide and up to 96% so-called “inert” ingredients, which can include petroleum solvents and chemical carriers. These chemicals may be absorbed through the skin, enter the bloodstream, and concentrate in the urine, repeatedly exposing the bladder lining and potentially causing inflammation and DNA damage, especially in genetically predisposed breeds.

Diet can help protect the bladder: dogs that eat vegetables several times a week, particularly leafy greens and yellow–orange veggies, show lower cancer risk, especially in high-risk breeds like Scottish Terriers. Certain supplements may also help: NAC and glutathione neutralize harmful chemicals in the urine; milk thistle and TUDCA support liver detox, and broccoli sprouts boost detox enzymes.

That’s why Dr. Becker created Liver Lift™, a science-backed, multi-pathway daily detox formula designed to support pets living in today’s chemical-filled world. 🌿

A simple turmeric paste you can make at home to support your dog’s brain, joints, and immune system 🐶🫚

Turmeric is one of the most extensively researched natural compounds for inflammation and cancer support in dogs. Its active compound, curcumin, helps reduce inflammation, support joint and brain health, and protect against age-accelerating damage linked to processed foods.

Turning turmeric into a golden paste makes curcumin easier for your dog’s body to use - and it’s been shown to boost BDNF, a protein that supports healthy neurons and cognitive function. We’ve upgraded this paste with medicinal mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 for immune and longevity support, plus decaf green tea 🍵 for DNA-protective polyphenols.

✨ A simple, affordable anti-inflammatory, immune- and brain-boosting bowl topper or mix-in.

⬇️ Full recipe in the comments. From The Forever Dog LIFE book.

UPDATE... Vera is now home and recovering 🥰

🚨 ADDER ALERT – IRVINE BEACH PARK / SAND DUNES 🚨

Please be extra vigilant if walking your dogs in the Irvine Beach Park or sand dunes area.

🐾 My own spaniel, Vera, was bitten by an adder there this morning. She’s currently at the vets on a drip to flush out the venom — I’ll post an update once we know more.

If you suspect an adder bite, act fast and contact a vet immediately.

Signs of an adder bite in dogs:

1. 🐍 Swelling around the wound (often the face, legs, or paws)

2. 🔴 Bleeding or bruising

3. 😢 Signs of pain or distress

4. 🦶 Lameness or reluctance to move

Please keep your dogs close and avoid letting them run through long grass or dunes where adders might be basking.

Please share this post to make people aware, Stay safe everyone! ❤️

Shed a wee tear reading this ❤️🐾❤️

In the heart of Buenos Aires, inside the old frigate Presidente Sarmiento, a secret is kept — one that doesn’t beat with clocks or cannons, but with the memory of a friend who never wanted to leave: Lampazo, the sailor dog.

He wasn’t born to be a hero, nor to have a place in a museum. He was a Newfoundland, with deep eyes and a thick coat, who one day simply climbed aboard the ship without asking permission, as if he had found his destiny.
They named him “Lampazo,” like the brush used to scrub the deck, perhaps because of his shaggy tail that swept the floor as he proudly trotted among the men. But in truth, he wasn’t a tool: he was company, he was comfort, he was laughter in the middle of the storms.

One day, the sea roared with fury and a sailor fell overboard. There was no hesitation. Lampazo leapt after him, facing waves that would have broken any man. He swam with the strength of a silent warrior and held the castaway until he was rescued. From that moment on, no one ever called him just a “dog” again: he was comrade, brother, guardian of the ship.

The years passed, and like every living being, Lampazo also came to know eternal rest. But the sailors couldn’t bring themselves to bid him farewell by casting him into the sea, because how could they throw into oblivion the one who had saved lives, the one who had shown them the meaning of loyalty? They embalmed him and left him there, on the frigate, so he would never abandon his post.

Today, when someone visits the museum, they find him. Behind a glass, his calm gaze still lingers, as if he were still watching over his companions. Children look at him with tenderness, veterans leave him flowers, and some whisper into the ears of their grandchildren:
—That wasn’t just any dog. That was a sailor.

And then, among old wood, silent cannons, and flags worn by time, Lampazo’s presence reminds us that true greatness doesn’t always wear a uniform, nor does it speak with words. Sometimes, it simply wags in a tail, beats in a furry heart, and becomes legend…

Because Lampazo never really left. He’s still there.
The purest loyalty can be found in the soul of a dog.
