| | Your Dog Knows Exactly How Many Treats You Give Them | Ever feel like your dog is keeping count of every treat you hand out? Well, they just might be! Dogs are surprisingly good at knowing exactly how many treats you've given them. | Recent studies show that dogs can understand basic numerical concepts. They can differentiate between quantities, such as choosing a larger pile of treats over a smaller one, much like we do. | Scientists suggest that while dogs don't process numbers the same way we do, they do rely on visual cues to make decisions about size and quantity. This ability is rooted in their evolutionary instincts. These instincts helped dogs navigate the world around them and make important decisions, like hunting and choosing the best resources. | So the next time your pup picks the bigger bone or the larger portion of food, remember—they've got some impressive number skills, even if they're not using a calculator! |

| | | Fresh Food, Happier Dogs - Benefits of Fresh Dog Food | Have you ever considered fresh food for your dog? Switching your dog to a fresh food diet can offer a range of benefits that go beyond just taste. | Key benefits of fresh food include: | Easier digestion: Fresh meals are less processed and easier for some dogs to digest, promoting better nutrient absorption. Healthier skin and coat: Essential fatty acids, like omega-3, -6, and -9, can improve skin condition and give your dog a shiny coat. Increased energy and muscle tone: Many pet parents report their dogs are more energetic and fit after switching to fresh food. No additives or preservatives: Fresh recipes are made with simple, whole ingredients for optimal health.
| For those looking to make the switch, it's a good idea to gradually introduce fresh food into your dog's diet to avoid any digestive upset. Each dog has unique nutritional needs based on factors like age, size, and health, so it's important to choose a diet that fits your dog's specific requirements. | Additionally, if you have questions always consult with a veterinarian for personalized recommendations. | If you're ready to explore the benefits of fresh food for your pup, now is the perfect time to make the switch. It's easier than you think to provide meals that are simple, nutritious, and tailored to your dog's needs. | Read on to discover our top fresh food recommendation for pups! |

| | Human Foods Dogs Can (and Can't) Eat | While many of us love sharing our food with our furry companions, not all human foods are safe for dogs. Some can cause digestive upset, while others can be downright toxic. Here's a quick guide on what's safe—and what's not—for your dog: | Safe for Dogs | Peanut Butter: A favorite treat for many dogs, as long as it's unsweetened and xylitol-free. Peanut butter is high in protein and healthy fats but should be fed in moderation. Carrots: Low in calories and full of fiber, carrots make a crunchy, healthy snack for dogs. Plain Chicken: A lean protein that can be a tasty addition to your dog's diet. Just be sure to remove bones and skin.
| Not Safe for Dogs | Chocolate: Known to be toxic to dogs, chocolate contains theobromine, which can cause heart issues, tremors, and even death. Grapes and Raisins: These seemingly harmless snacks can cause kidney failure in dogs, so it's best to avoid them entirely. Onions and Garlic: Both can damage a dog's red blood cells and lead to anemia. Even in small amounts, they should be avoided.
| Always remember to check for harmful ingredients before feeding your dog human food, and when in doubt, always consult your vet. Sharing the right foods can be a great way to bond with your dog, but it's important to know what's safe and what's not! |
