Product Information

Like kefir, goat’s milk contains natural probiotics and lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose, making it easier on a dog’s stomach than regular milk. It’s also a rich source of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and healthy fats, which can contribute to a balanced diet for dogs in moderate amounts. 5. Raw Food with Quality Animal Protein If you want to make mealtimes fun for your furry friends without overspending, B&M is the place to go! Rover and Kiki’s Canine Kitchen have you covered. Here are some of our favorite seasonal dog treat recipes. Depending on these findings, they may perform diagnostic tests such as blood and urine tests, skin investigations, and imaging such as X-rays. A dog’s discomfort with its bowl is a common cause. The feeling of their whiskers brushing against the edge of the bowl, the echo of their tags clanging against the side, or the bowl moving as they eat can be unnerving for some dogs. In such cases, the floor offers a more peaceful dining experience.

Does your dog become an anxious mess around strangers? Or perhaps, thunderstorms cause your pooch to shake and panic. Plain, unsweetened yogurt can provide a creamy and enjoyable experience for dogs while offering probiotics that promote digestive health. Probiotics may help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria and support a strong immune system. Avoid yogurts with added sugars, sweeteners, or artificial flavors. However, health-related issues shouldn’t be overlooked. For example, a dog might avoid eating from their bowl if they’re experiencing dental pain. If the food bowl has become associated with this discomfort, the dog might find relief in eating off the flat surface of the floor. As always, any sudden changes in your pet’s behavior should warrant a trip to the vet to rule out health concerns. The mat measures a perfect square at almost eight inches on all sides and has four non-slip rubber feet to help hold it in place. This model comes with three different colors to choose from green, orange, and turquoise.You may have heard that ice cubes are dangerous for dogs because they lead to bloat. Turns out, however, that this is a myth.

Mash cooked sweet potato. Mix with a couple of tablespoons of plain yogurt, a small spoonful of honey, and a tiny dash of cinnamon. Mix well and freeze. One can simply put your dog’s regular meals across the mat and add some sodium-free bone broth. Then freeze the food on the mat. This way your dog gets their usual daily calorie intake, but in a much more fun and interactive way that keeps them busy for longer. 2. Cottage Cheese This behavior does not necessitate feeding your dog an extra serving especially if he is prone to obesity. Also, this is normal in the canine world, and if it is not excessive or negatively impacting your dog’s feeding. You can always consult your vet to rule out any underlying health problems. Like when I change my bed sheets. As I spread clean sheets over the bed, my pup thinks it’s an invitation to hide in them, wrapping herself up. What would normally be a 5-minute activity takes closer to half an hour. The horizontal grooves are exceptionally difficult to clean out completely. Speaking of which, because you hang this on your window, I only recommend peanut butter. Anything runnier like yogurt drips down your car door making a mess. Trust me… I learned the hard way.No one likes to be bored, and your dog is no different. When dogs become bored, they often express themselves with problem behavior. From chewing on furniture to loud barking – not what you want, right?

My dog is too clever for her own good. She knows exactly when we are going to the vet. It doesn’t matter if I take different streets, she knows something is off. Her mood changes, and she looks sad and anxious – it breaks my heart.This article was written by Steven Rowe, who has been a pet parent to two rescue beagles. Both beagles were retired research laboratory dogs and were adopted to give them a better life in their “retirement” years. Due to their history, both beagles were very nervous in their daily lives when they found themselves in new situations. Steven understands the importance of working with an anxious dog to help them calm themselves in a way specific to their individual needs. Next, arrange any larger add ins like toys, chews, or bigger slices of fruits and veggies. Gently pour your liquid over top and then pop into the freezer. If you want to create a layer of different colors/flavors, you can repeat this process. For example, start with a thin layer of greek yogurt and blueberries and freeze until firm. Then, add a handful of kibble and a few inches of bone broth and freeze until firm. Repeatthis as many times as you need to create as many layers as you want, alternating between flavors and colors. Keep in mind, however, that excess calcium in a dog’s diet can contribute to some problems like certain kidney stones, constipation ( see why is my dog’s poop white? ), and lead to problems in growing puppies by causing their bones to grow too fast. So while treats like cottage cheese are generally good for dogs, we don’t want to give so much that excess calcium in their diet becomes a problem. When making the recipes, always use salt free, sugar free, and artificial sweetener free ingredients. Since more and more sugar substitutes are finding their way into so many products, always read the ingredients on anything marked sugar free or unsweetened, since the popular sugar substitute xylitol (also known as “birch sugar”) is deadly to dogs.

If you’re unsure whether your dog is getting enough to eat, it’s best to consult with your veterinarian or a pet nutritionist. These professionals can assess your dog’s specific needs and guide you on appropriate portion sizes. It’s crucial to keep in mind that overfeeding can lead to health problems such as obesity and diabetes, while underfeeding can result in malnutrition. Therefore, always aim for moderation when it comes to feeding your dog. While the Slow Treater is dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing. Doing so will extend the life of the suction cups. Most of our testers hate baths. Mention the word ‘bathtime,’ and our two Labrador testers will hide behind the couch. Meanwhile, I have to physically place my pup in the bathtub and hold her by the collar while my husband scrubs and rinses the suds out of her wooly coat. We all get covered in water as our pup puts up a fight. Treat your pet to their own personalised food bowl, mat, feeding stand or food container, along with a range of other handy eating and drinking accessories that will confirm their place as a key member of your family and make feeding time easy and fun! If there are safe food and treats that are appropriate for your dog, consider mixing some into the kibble or wet food to add interest and variety to their experience. You can also try using alternate safe brands so that they’re not getting the same old thing.

But where the Aquapaw Slow Treater really shines is in the bathroom. The three suction cups held strong no matter where we placed it – shower glass, side of the bathtub or even the tiled wall.
