Pumpkin season isn't just for our lattes, it's a great seasonal bonus for your pup's bowl, too! 🎃

Plain canned or baked pumpkin is an easy, fiber-packed way to support healthy digestion, soothe sensitive stomachs, and add tasty variety to mealtime. 🥣✨

Things I wish I knew as a first-time raw feeder. 🐶⬇️

1. It is nowhere near as messy or intimidating as people make it out to be once you establish a clean prep routine.

2. A 14 lb bag actually fits easily in a standard kitchen freezer without needing a dedicated deep freezer.

3. You do not have to go completely all-or-nothing, because adding fresh raw food to a kibble base still offers massive benefits.

4. The natural energy boost and playfulness showed up almost immediately once the switch was made.

5. The reduction in daily shedding and the overall softness of their coat took me completely by surprise.

6. Smaller, firmer, and practically odorless backyard cleanups make daily scoop duty dramatically easier.

Large breed puppies have big paws to grow into, and how they grow matters just as much as how fast! 🐾 See our tips below for what to look for and feed your big baby! 🐶🥣✨

🐾 Look for the Label: Flip the bag over. Make sure it says for all life stages, including large breed puppy growth. (AAFCO Statement: Make sure the bag explicitly reads "for All Life Stages including the growth of large-size dogs.)

🐾 Bone & Joint Safety: Big pups grow too fast for regular food. A careful calcium balance keeps growing bones strong and protected.

🐾 Brain & Eye Support: Real, fresh food protects delicate DHA, an essential healthy fat that supports sharp brains and good vision.

🐾 Ligament Strength: Key minerals from real ingredients like green-lipped mussels help support developing joints and ligaments.

Don't forget we have a team in store ready to help you! 👋

If your dog is constantly licking their paws after outdoor playtime, fall allergens may be to blame. 🍂🐾

Fall brings an uptick in mold spores and ragweed that cling to paws, causing redness, itchiness, and irritation. Simple post-walk routines paired with healthy fats in their diet can help soothe the itch and protect sensitive paws all season long. 🌿✨

Got a pup who turns their nose up at dinner? 🐶 Get them excited about their bowl again!🍲✨

There’s no reason frozen or freeze-dried raw food can’t be fed alongside kibble or canned diets. In fact, many pet parents successfully mix raw with other types of food! While raw food does digest at a different rate, your pet’s body is smart. Their digestive enzymes, bile, and gut bacteria adapt quickly to changes in their environment. So feel free to ease into raw feeding without any guilt. Even one raw meal a day or a freeze-dried raw topper can support digestion, improve skin and coat health, and add variety that your pet will love. 🥩✨🐕

Think allergy season ends with summer? Think again. 🍂 If your pup is suddenly scratching, chewing their paws, or dealing with dry, irritated skin, autumn environmental triggers might be the culprit. A nutrient-dense diet rich in essential fatty acids can help support a resilient skin barrier from the inside out. Ask us about a nutrient-dense diet and we'll help you build a better bowl for your pup! 🐾✨

Not everyone is interested in the science behind the pet microbiome😅 But it's crucial to understand that your pet's gut plays a huge role in their overall health. Raw or fresh foods in the diet can make a big impact - we'll help you find something that works for you and your pet!

Notice extra paw licking or head shaking lately? Fall seasonal shifts bring a fresh wave of environmental allergens that can leave your pup feeling itchy and uncomfortable. 🍂🐾

Simple daily habits like wiping paws after walks, adding moisture-rich hydrators to the bowl, and supporting the skin barrier with omega-rich raw fats can make a major difference in managing seasonal flare-ups.

Save this checklist to stay ahead of the autumn itch 👇✨

Workshop Announcement:
Introduction to Canine Disc with Michelle Largent

Saturday April 10, 2021
4:30pm-6:30pm
Limited to 6 working teams. No auditors.
Cost is $80

This 2-hour workshop will introduce you and your dog to the sport of Canine Disc!

Register Now for Introduction to Canine Disc:
https://app.squarespacescheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=20007645&appointmentType=21546504

Whether you just want to learn how to safely play with your furry friend at your local park or enter a disc dog competition, this course will help you get started.

Learn the foundations of the sport, including how to begin training your dog to catch and retrieve a Frisbee.

Don't know how to throw a Frisbee? Not to worry. You will learn many tips on the art of throwing a Frisbee.

In this workshop, you will learn various throwing techniques, how to motivate your dog, and the different games that you and your dog can play. Catching and jumping techniques will also be taught to help keep the dogs safe.

You will need a disc or two. Choose a pet-safe frisbee. Do not buy the hard plastic ones at the pet stores as they shatter and are not safe for your dog’s mouth or teeth. A soft frisbee is fine or look for a specially-made dog disc from Hero or Wham-o (Fastback).

Michelle recommends an Air 235 from Hero Disc USA (https://www.herodiscusa.com/air-235-blem-106.html) and will have some examples on hand for use if the one you have isn’t suitable.

What should I bring?
A disc or two that your dog likes
Plenty of treats (NO treats that are oily, flaky, or crumbly please!)
A fixed lead and a collar and/or harness for your dog and a long line, if needed. Dogs will be kept in the car or crate when not working.
Plenty of water for your dog and a dish.

Prerequisites:

Dogs need to be at least 12 months of age.
Dogs should have a fairly reliable sit, stay/wait, down and come.
Dogs must have a reliable recall around distraction.
Dogs with strong toy drive (preferred).
Dogs must be non-aggressive towards humans and dogs.

Cancellation Policy: No refund or credit is offered if a participant chooses to cancel their confirmed registration, or cannot or does not attend the workshop. If a registered participant needs to cancel and we are able to fill the spot with a suitable team, we will refund the participant their fee less a $20 processing fee.

In the unlikely event that the workshop is cancelled, all confirmed participants will be notified immediately and will receive a full refund.
