ORAL HEALTH
Did you know you can spray propolis in your dog's water? Propolis, aka "bee glue" is a sticky, resinous substance bees make to seal, disinfect, and protect their hive. They also use it to mummify intruders too big to remove.
Relatively unknown to most North Americans this potent bee medicine had been used for centuries as a natural alternative to antibiotics. And unlike the antibiotics we are familiar with, propolis does not disrupt the good bacteria and our body does not build up resistance against nature's antibiotic.
A great weapon against bacteria, propolis can help protect dogs from canine flu, kennel cough, and other infectious illnesses. When used topically it can prevent infection and speed the healing of cuts, wounds, burns, bites, stings, hot spots, and lick granulomas (its bitter taste helps deter licking).
Oral sprays developed for dogs to treat periodontitis and gingivitis that contain propolis have proven to be very effective. The buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth and gums is the source of these diseases that today are the number one health problem for dogs. I'm a fan Beekeeper's Naturals propolis spray which is good for humans and furry friends.

DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG THESE BRANDS!
A chemical used in Milk-Bones , Ol'Roy, Kibbles'n Bits, Hill's Pet Food and other pet foods should no longer be considered safe for consumption due to concerns about its ability to damage DNA according to a new animal model study.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG)
"A scientific panel created by the European Food Safety Authorization found that titanium dioxide "can no longer be considered safe when used as a food additive."
The panel, citing concerns about titanium dioxide genotoxicity, or its ability to damage DNA, based its conclusion on a review of hundreds of scientific studies. EWG called on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.)(.....who in my opinion, are useless) to quickly consider whether to ban titanium dioxide from use in food.
A chemical that may damage our furry friends DNA should not be fed to them. Titanium Dioxide is on The Forever Dog book's Dirty Dozen list of additives you need to avoid in your furry friends food. Read more at The Forever Dog book below.
