Bonus: Dog Chews in Vancouver for Teeth Cleaning

Here are suggestions for big dog chews that should help with healthier teeth and prevent bad breath.

  • Store raw pet food in the freezer.

  • Always defrost in a refrigerator for next day feeding or in a sink in cold water only if you are feeding soon.

  • Rotate proteins, especially between white and red meats, to achieve a more balanced diet.

  • Feed edible, size-appropriate bones every few days to clean teeth. Bones are better digested by dogs when finely ground. If your dog is a strong chewer, beware of load bearing bones such as beef femurs, which are hard and can chip a dog’s teeth leading to an expensive extraction.

  • Toss out any leftovers if your pet does not finish consuming the meal.

To begin, thaw the frozen raw pet food out in a glass container or in a stainless-steel bowl in your fridge overnight and feed the appropriate portion to your dog. We suggest feeding in a bowl on a mat or in a tiled environment for easier cleaning afterwards.

​​Probiotics can be quite effective for dogs, providing various health benefits. Probiotics are measured in CFUs (colony forming units and we consider anything over 5 billion cfus as effective for allergies). 

Here are some key points about their effectiveness:

  1. Digestive Health: Probiotics help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, which can improve digestion and reduce issues like diarrhea, constipation, and gas.
  2. Immune System Support: A significant portion of the immune system is located in the gut. By promoting a healthy gut microbiome, probiotics can enhance the overall immune response.
  3. Allergy Relief: Probiotics can help alleviate symptoms of allergies in some dogs by modulating the immune system and reducing inflammatory responses.
  4. Skin and Coat Health: A healthy gut often translates to healthier skin and a shinier coat. Probiotics can help manage conditions like dermatitis and other skin issues.
  5. Stress and Anxiety Reduction: There is a growing body of evidence suggesting a connection between gut health and mental health. Probiotics may help reduce stress and anxiety in dogs.

It is important to remember that it is key to get a therapeutic dose for dogs and the effectiveness can vary depending on the type of probiotic. In addition, not all dogs respond the same way to probiotics. Some may experience significant benefits, while others might have minimal changes.

Remember that probiotics that come with prebiotics are important. Basically, prebiotics are the food that probiotics feed on. They also feed bad bacteria. The theory is to overwhelm bad bacteria with good. 

Side Effects: While generally safe, some dogs might experience mild side effects like gas or bloating when first introduced to probiotics. These usually subside as the dog adjusts.
