This is what my own dogs ate this morning.

My practice is named Nacho Average Dog Health Coach, after my late Cane Corso.

Today I cook for Oslo, my Boerboel who just turned 2 years old, and Tofu, my senior Cane Corso who is going on 11.

Their meals are weighed and planned, and Tofu's bowl looks different from Oslo's because a senior girl and a young giant need different things.

You don't need to cook from scratch to feed well.

Plenty of dogs do well on freeze-dried, canned or fresh commercial food, or a mix.

Small, deliberate changes to what's already in the bowl can make a visible difference in skin, coat, and stool.

That's the focus on Tuesday, October 20, my online nutrition workshop I'm hosting live on Zoom. Link in bio and use code FULLCIRCLE

What's in your dog's bowl today? Tell me below.

šŸ„ Fall Ingredient No. 4: Shiitake and Maitake Mushrooms

This one is personal.

My practice is named after my Cane Corso, Nacho, who died of
hemangiosarcoma.

When I learned that dogs with that same cancer lived longer than expected in a University of Pennsylvania pilot study using a turkey tail mushroom compound, I started paying close attention to mushrooms.

Culinary mushrooms like shiitake and maitake are rich in beta-glucans, compounds that help regulate and support the immune system. They wonā€™t give you the concentrated dose of a medicinal extract, but cooked culinary mushrooms are an easy way to add immune support to everyday meals.

This weekā€™s recipe is my Shiitake and Maitake Immune Broth.

Simmer chicken necks, backs, or feet with water and a splash of apple c***r vinegar for 6 to 24 hours, then add sliced shiitake, torn maitake, and a carrot for the last hour.

Strain out every bone, chop the mushrooms back in, chill, and skim the fat.

Giant breeds get about 1/2 cup over a meal.

Large and giant breeds carry a higher risk of cancers like osteosarcoma, so immune-supporting nutrition belongs in their plan.

For dogs already diagnosed, mushrooms work alongside your vet or oncologistā€™s treatment.

āš ļø Wild mushrooms are popping up in yards right now. Never let your dog eat them, and call your vet or ASPCA Poison Control.

My free guide, From Itchy Skin to Cancer, includes 5 cancer-prevention recipes.

In Japan, people eat kabocha on the winter solstice to stay well through the cold months.

In episode 3 of Beyond Butternut, Iā€™m cooking kabocha and red kuri with a Japanese restaurant technique and a smoky spiced roast, plus a warm version of each for your dog.

šŸ§‘ā€šŸ³ For you:

Kabocha simmered in shiitake-kombu broth with yuzu, and ancho-maple roasted red Kuri wedges.

šŸ• For your dog:

Shiitake-simmered kabocha with its broth, and warm red Kuri and sardine dumplings.

If your dog takes fish oil, watch to the end of the dog section.

šŸŒæ Kitchen Herb No. 3: Rosemary

Go grab your dogā€™s bag of kibble or treats and read the ingredient list.

Thereā€™s a good chance youā€™ll find rosemary extract near the bottom. Pet food makers use it to keep fats from going rancid, and the same antioxidants help protect your dogā€™s cells from oxidative stress.

While youā€™re at it, open your dogā€™s fish oil and smell it. Fresh oil smells like the ocean. If it smells sharply fishy or like paint, it has oxidized and should go in the trash.

For giant breeds taking large daily doses for their joints, fish oil freshness makes a big difference.

This weekā€™s recipe is Rosemary Turkey Meatballs.

Mix 1 pound ground turkey, 1 egg, 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato, and 1 teaspoon very finely minced fresh rosemary.

Roll into 1-inch balls and bake at 375Ā°F for 15 to 18 minutes. Big dogs get 3 to 4 a day, and they make a great high-value training reward.

āš ļø Skip rosemary for any dog with a seizure history. Irish Wolfhound families, take note, since the breed has a high rate of inherited epilepsy.

Count the chicken before you reach slide 6.

This story comes up in my consults all the time. A dog starts scratching, the owner switches foods, things look better for two weeks, and then the itch comes back. Four bags later, the dog has been eating the same proteins the whole time.

Treats and chews make it harder. A dog can be on a perfect duck diet and still get chicken every night from a jerky treat.

If this sounds familiar, go easy on yourself.

Most owners were never shown how to run a food change properly.

That's one of the main things we'll cover in my online nutrition workshop live on Tuesday, October 20.

One looks like a wheel of cheese. The other is related to zucchini. Both are heirlooms with
New York history going back more than a century, and both should be in in your dogā€™s
bowl this time of year šŸ™‚

In episode 2 of Beyond Butternut, Iā€™m talking about the Long Island Cheese pumpkin and delicata from
one kitchen for two plates: plant-based pie filling and a maple-paprika delicata salad for you, oat-pumpkin porrridge and homemade squash chews for your dog.

Next time youā€™re at a farm stand, ask which heirlooms theyā€™re growing.

The itchy dog and the dog with the gurgly stomach are very often the same dog.

The lining of your petā€™s gut is one cell thick, and a large share of the immune system sits right underneath it.

When that lining is irritated, whether from a food the body reacts to or gut bacteria that are out of balance, the immune system stays on alert. Inflammation that starts in the gut shows up where you can see it: the red belly, the constant paw licking, the ears that smell ye**ty.

So when we see a pet with recurring skin trouble, we ask whatā€™s happening at the other end of the body too.

Our canine nutritionist Sunny Gandara works through this connection with Full Circle clients every week, and sheā€™s teaching a live online workshop about how food can make a huge difference on October 20. Register today!
