Pet Wants Happy Valley

Itching typically starts from the inside out. Because of that, it won't cure overnight. Healing the skin takes time, but changing their diet is the best place to start. If your dog is dealing with constant paw licking or scratching, throwing plant-based omegas (like flax, chia, or h**p) at the problem usually won't cut it. Dogs are notoriously bad at converting plant-based ALA into the usable forms they actually need (EPA and DHA) to fix their skin. To actually fix the root cause, look for marine-based sources like salmon, sardine, or anchovy oil instead. That's where the real itch relief happens. Nutrition goes way deeper than just reading a label! Be patient, stick with it, and let their body do the work.

We get asked a lot about raw feeding here at the shop, and there’s one really common detail that gets overlooked by almost every pet parent we talk to.

Dogs actually don't make cellulase on their own. That is the specific enzyme needed to break down raw plant fiber. So even though crunchy raw veggies seem like a super healthy snack, your pup's system can't really absorb the nutrients unless those veggies are steamed, boiled, or pureed first.

That is exactly why you’ll sometimes see whole chunks of carrots or greens show up in their p**p. Veggies are still amazing for them. The way you prepare them just matters a lot more than most people realize.

Understanding how your pet actually digests food is crucial before jumping into the next feeding fad. True nutrition comes down to what their bodies can actually absorb, not just what looks good in the bowl.
