🐾 What’s Hiding in Some Dog Toys? Common Plastic Chemical Linked to Anxiety in New Animal Study

Researchers presenting at ENDO 2026, one of the world’s leading endocrinology conferences, reported that lab animals exposed early in life to DEHP, a plastic softening chemical commonly used in some PVC products, developed significantly more anxiety- like behavior as adults.

While this study was has not yet been published, it adds to growing concerns about all of the endocrine disrupting chemicals found in the environment. DEHP and related phthalates have been detected in soft vinyl pet products, including toys, bowls, collars, bedding, and other flexible PVC items.

Step 1: choose pet toys made with materials such as natural rubber, organic cotton, h**p, wool, and food grade silicone, to help reduce unnecessary exposure.

Step 2: use GABA to your advantage, if your pup has anxiety. When the researchers targeted GABA pathways (one of the brain’s primary calming systems), the anxiety improved . This is especially relevant because the gut microbiome can influence GABA signaling through the gut brain axis.

This is one reason Dr. Karen Becker includes the GABA-promoting strain LP815™ in PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™. In a placebo controlled study, dogs receiving LP815™ showed improvements in fear, aggression, noise sensitivity, separation related behaviors, sleep quality, and overall emotional balance.

🐈Cats don’t stop jumping because they get old.

They stop jumping because movement becomes harder.

That’s why some cats🐈‍⬛ hesitate before the stairs, stop jumping onto the bed🛏️, or spend more time lying down than they used to.

Interestingly, in a peer-reviewed study, 87% of senior arthritic cats climbed stairs better after eating a diet rich in omega-3s🐟. The cats also became more active and showed improved mobility. Researchers didn’t just ask owners what they noticed. They used stair-climbing tests, activity monitors, weight-bearing analysis, and veterinary mobility assessments in a randomized, blinded, controlled trial involving real pet cats.

That’s one reason Dr. Karen Becker formulated ROE MEGA™ with highly bioavailable EPA and DHA from herring caviar oil and sustainably sourced small fish. ROE MEGA™ delivers omega-3s in phospholipid and triglyceride forms, along with naturally occurring astaxanthin, to support healthy joints, kidneys, brain function, heart health, skin health, and healthy aging in cats and small dogs🐶.

Because healthy aging isn’t just about living longer. It’s about helping them keep doing the things they love.

💪 Aging dogs don’t just lose cartilage. They lose muscle power.

That’s why stairs get harder, jumping into the car becomes a struggle, and getting up from the floor takes a little more effort each year.

Interestingly, a study found that dogs given creatine for just 15 days performed better during repeated exercise than before supplementation, suggesting they had more left in the tank when challenged a second time. Creatine is one of the most extensively studied supplements in the world and plays a key role in helping muscles rapidly regenerate energy, it’s basically extra battery life for muscles. Few supplements have hundreds of studies behind them; Creatine has thousands, and its’ safety profile in animals is excellent.

That’s one reason Dr. Karen Becker included creatine monohydrate in Mobility Matrix™ alongside UC-II® undenatured collagen, eggshell membrane collagen, glucosamine sulfate, MSM, hyaluronic acid, and other science-backed ingredients designed to support not only healthy joints, but also the muscle power needed to use them.
Because mobility isn’t just about protecting cartilage, it’s about helping dogs keep moving. 🐕🦴💪

Never leave any animals in a hot car!

If you see an animal in a car and are not able to find the owner, you can call the police for assistance.

Leaving anyone in a hot car is extremely dangerous and can be lethal over extended periods. Let’s keep our pets safe!

Dogs🐾 benefit from something as simple as an apple🍎. A new peer-reviewed systematic review published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science highlighted quercetin, a powerful flavonoid✨ found in apples, as one of the most promising natural compounds for supporting long-term health.

Research suggests quercetin helps reduce inflammation, protect cells from oxidative damage, support beneficial gut bacteria, strengthen the gut barrier, and promote healthy metabolism, all of which are closely linked to healthier aging.

Choose organic apples🍏 or spray free apples when possible, as conventionally grown apples are among the fruits most commonly found to contain pesticide residues. Remove the seeds and core, but leave the skin on (that’s where the quercetin is) before sharing a few bites with your dog. If you’re choosing a variety, Red Delicious🍎 apples are considered one of the richest sources of quercetin among commonly available apples.

This is also one of the reasons Dr. Karen Becker chose hypoallergenic organic apple fiber as the carrier in the Proactive Paws™ formulas instead of ingredients like beef liver or cellulose. Apple fiber helps make her human grade formulas suitable for pets with food sensitivities, while also acting as a prebiotic that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria and supports the production of health-promoting short-chain fatty acids.

It’s allergy🤧 season, and one of the most common issues pet parents notice is itchy, irritated paws.🔥🐾

The good news: a simple, natural routine that helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation before it escalates.

A gentle paw soak made with green tea🍵, stinging nettle🌱, and peppermint tea🌿 can help calm inflammation and support the skin’s response to allergens. These herbs contain natural compounds that can ease itchiness, reduce redness, and discourage that cycle of licking and chewing that makes things worse.

The key is consistency and timing. Starting early, before paws become raw and inflamed, can make a big difference and may help reduce the need for stronger interventions like steroids💊 later on.

DIY Allergen-Removing Paw Soak

Add to 1 gallon of simmering water:
• 12 stinging nettle tea bags
• 6 green tea bags
• 6 peppermint tea bags

Turn off the heat and let it cool completely. Remove tea bags once cooled. Add 1 teaspoon of Primitive Probiotics. Stir well.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Use as a soak or rinse for your dog’s paws after outdoor exposure to help remove allergens and soothe the skin.

If you haven’t added a high-quality probiotic to your dog’s routine yet, there’s a reason this matters. That’s exactly why created PRIMITIVE PROBIOTICS™—a science-driven formula designed to help rebuild your dog’s microbiome using strains sourced from wild canids, healthy dogs, and living soil.

A new peer-reviewed veterinary study found dogs🐶 with arthritis receiving PEMF⚡ (a non-invasive electromagnetic therapy) improved faster in pain, limping, muscle strength, and mobility compared to standard NSAID💊 pain meds. PEMF dogs also gained about 15% more muscle mass during the study, with no reported side effects.

One challenge? PEMF can still be difficult to access locally for many pet parents. For families who can’t access PEMF therapy, or are looking for a long-term daily option, research suggests ingredients like UC-II® collagen, creatine, and eggshell membrane may provide powerful support for joint comfort, mobility, and muscle health.

That’s exactly why created MOBILITY MATRIX™ — a comprehensive formula designed to support not just joints, but muscles, cartilage, connective tissue, recovery, and long-term mobility.

✔️ UC-II® collagen helps regulate joint inflammation
✔️ Glucosamine sulfate supports cartilage repair
✔️ MSM helps reduce oxidative stress
✔️ Eggshell membrane provides natural collagen compounds
✔️ Hyaluronic acid supports joint lubrication
✔️ Creatine helps maintain muscle strength and stability

Whether your pet is slowing down, recovering from injury, or you simply want to stay ahead of decline, early proactive support can make a huge difference.

A new peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Animal Science found that nearly half of dog owners feed the exact same dog food every day, same brand, same flavor, little to no rotation. Researchers also found that protein source, especially chicken🐓, heavily influences purchasing decisions.

While consistency may help some sensitive dogs short term, long-term dietary monotony can reduce microbiome🦠 diversity and create a less resilient gut ecosystem over time. Different proteins, fibers, and plant compounds feed different beneficial bacteria, so repetitive diets may contribute to dysbiosis, weaker gut resilience, lower postbiotic production, and a greater risk of sensitivities and inflammatory issues.

The takeaway? Convenience and routine may come at the expense of microbiome diversity and long-term gut health.
If you cannot change your food, adding a variety of foods like veggies can also help nourish the microbiome by providing different types of fiber and plant compounds that feed beneficial gut bacteria. Probiotics as well can help support microbial diversity, strengthen the gut barrier, improve digestion, and increase resilience during stress, antibiotics, and dietary changes.
