5 shedding dogs + big backyard + fall rainy weathe

5 shedding dogs + big backyard + fall rainy weather = messes all the time. #AD Especially with our new pack member almost here, all I want to do is clean!! The @BISSELLClean #CrossWaveCordlessMax legitimately makes my life 10 times easier - you can vacuum and wash the floor at the SAME TIME! Muddy paws, dog hair tumbleweeds, the occasional pee accident, food, etc. gets vacuumed up AND the floor gets washed simultaneously. It’s such a time saver, and the wet-dry vacuum is nice and light making this cleaning super easy for my very pregnant-self to do.

Two extra bonuses I love about this product:
-BISSELL is saving pets in need. When you buy a BISSELL CrossWave Cordless Max, you help give a shelter pet a home.

-AND, the BISSELL pet floor cleaner is an earth friendly formula made with no heavy metals, phosphates or dyes which you know is also important to me.

Every fall season Mylah has an IBD flare and I make her special herbal 'Poop Powder' to get through it. Changes in the weather and barometric pressure can trigger sensitivities in dogs, especially diabetic and IBD dogs. Mylah's diet is already optimized for her IBD and diabetes so I don't change it much other than adding additional fiber to her 'Poop Powder' mix.

I know Mylah well enough at this point to know when she is having a GI issue that warrants a diet change vs. a seasonal flare and every mid-September to early October we experience this with her IBD. I also always rule out any parasites with a fecal sample. Once I know that’s all clear it’s evident this is a flare.

So here's my special herbal 'Poop Powder' that works every time to get her through it. This varies based on the dog, size, what they're eating, etc. Diet is a major contributor to IBD and if her diet wasn't optimized for her IBD this herbal powder wouldn't work as well as it does to get her through the flare.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Herbal 'Poop Powder' for Firming Stool-
2 parts Marshmallow Root powder
1 part Slippery Elm powder
1/4 part Yellow Dock Root powder
1/4 part Fennel Seed powder
-Additional gluten-free oatmeal as a snack for fiber. Sometimes I will use a small amount of psyllum husk in the powder.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mylah is 32lbs and gets 0.5-1tsp 2-3x a day of this mix. I like to approach herbs with less is more to start.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why don't I use pumpkin for IBD? Pumpkin is ok and I like it for some things but I prefer to use it for constipation actually. It's not as fibrous as I like it for this purpose plus Mylah does better with oatmeal than pumpkin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep in mind - everything depends on the SPECIFIC DOG! What might work for Mylah might not work for others! A gassier IBD dog might need more fennel seed powder for example. When in doubt, work with a professional who can approach your dog's condition specifically to help navigate the issue.

Mylah is back to her regular solid pooping self now!

It’s like these two were separated at birth and then found each other again. My silly, sweet #tripawds - I can’t believe how far they’ve come. Both surviving some kind of trauma as babies, being rescued, losing limbs, only to become best friends and siblings. #threeleggeddogs #rescuedisthebestbreed

There are people who will tell you that cooking food destroys nutrients so that's why you should feed your dog raw foods. This is simply false! Beef liver is a great example of this. Cooking food never destroys nutrients, it changes them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beef liver is a rich source of copper, retinol (preformed Vit A) some iron, and B vitamins. I use it often as a way to balance copper and zinc in recipe formulations but have to be careful not to use too much as it is packed with retinol which has a safe upper limit for dogs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A tiny amount of 10 grams of RAW beef liver contains 1mg of copper, 0.5mg of iron, 1689IU of Vit A as Retinol, and a good amount of B12 at 5.6ug.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we cook beef liver - these nutrient amounts all INCREASE! A tiny amount of 10 grams of COOKED beef liver contains 1.5mg of copper, 0.6mg of iron, 2608IU of Vit A as Retinol, and even more of B12 at 8.3ug.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cooking foods for your dog can be beneficial for many reasons - some dogs with medical conditions simply cannot tolerate raw foods, some seniors do better on a cooked diet as well. You can feed nutrient-dense COOKED foods to your dogs. Beef liver is the perfect example of this but also not the only example.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Part of being a Canine Nutritionist means looking at the nutrients of foods in-depth to determine what is best for a specific dog. Specific nutrients are what make all the difference in dog food. Nutrients first, ingredients second. Have questions? Drop them in a comment or even head over to my Dogly community for more in-depth info and the chance to talk directly with me about these topics!
