👀 Be honest...

What body condition score would you give your dog?

1 = Very Thin
3 = Ideal
5 = Obese

Most dogs actually score higher than their owners think!

Drop your dog's number in the comments and I'll tell you what it means for their health, movement, and wellbeing.

🐾 No judgement here—just education and a bit of fun.

Let's see how many dogs are sitting at a healthy 3!

I'll go first — Meli sits around a 2–3. What score would you give your dog? 👇

Most people think of protein when it comes to maintaining muscle, but nutrition is about much more than just protein alone.

Apple peels, rosemary, oregano, and thyme contain a natural plant compound called ursolic acid. Research has shown that ursolic acid may help activate pathways involved in muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and healthy aging.

Does this mean a few herbs or apple peel will reverse significant muscle loss in a senior dog? Probably not. The amounts we can safely feed are relatively small, and dogs with existing muscle wasting often require a much broader approach involving nutrition, exercise, and veterinary care.

However, including small amounts of dog-safe herbs and whole foods in the diet may help support healthy muscle function over time and could play a role in reducing age-related decline.

It's another reminder that food is more than calories and protein alone. Many whole foods contain compounds that can support the body in ways we're still learning about.

As always, introduce new foods gradually and feed herbs in moderation.

🐾 Small choices made consistently can add up to big benefits over a lifetime.

These organs make up only a small percentage of the diet, yet contribute significantly to overall nutritional diversity.

Vitamin A • B12 • Folate • Iron • Copper • Choline

Kidney

Heart
Taurine • CoQ10 • B12 • Iron • Zinc

Spleen

Welcome Bruce 💙

This handsome Bullmastiff has joined us for manual therapy to help support his hind limb function, comfort, and movement.

Like many large breed dogs, changes in posture and weight distribution can place extra demands on the body over time. Through hands-on therapy, we'll be working to support mobility, muscle function, and overall wellbeing while helping Bruce move as comfortably as possible.

We look forward to being part of his journey. 🐾
