🚩 Pet Food Red Flags #2: Don’t be Fooled by the First Ingredient! 🚩 Think seeing “Chicken” 🐓 (or any meat for that matter) as the first ingredient means it’s a high-quality pet food? (Really meat should at least be the first and second but alas I digress…) Not so fast! ✋Ingredients are listed by weight *before* processing, so that “Chicken” really means raw meat, which is actually 70% water 💧. Once dehydrated, it shrinks significantly, likely dropping to the 4th or 5th spot on the list. 🤨 For example, if a pet food starts with 40% beef, 25% corn meal, 15% wheat, 10% chicken by-product meal, 5% barley, and 5% dried beet pulp, the beef will lose 70% of its weight during processing. This means the beef drops from 40% to just 12% of the final product - so at first look you think you’re buying a beef based food - when in reality you’re paying for grains and fillers! (Not something you want to be feeding!) 😵❌ But, if you see “chicken meal” 🍗as the first ingredient, that’s a different story—it’s already dehydrated, keeping protein at the 🔝. Know the facts and choose wisely for your furry friend! Stay tuned next week for our next installment in our pet food red flags series! 🚩 🐾🛑 #thckcs #foreverdoglife #commercialpetfood #caninenutrition #feedfreshfood #freshfoodfordogs #cavaliersoflondon #CavalierCommunity #PetFoodRedFlags #PetNutrition #HealthyPets

🐾Canine Connection🐾 Have you ever felt like your dog just understands you? Well, a new study suggests you might be right! 🧠🐶 📉Research reported by the Los Angeles Times indicates that dogs have a more sophisticated grasp of human language than previously thought. Neuroscientist Marianna Boros and her team 👩‍🔬 used EEG technology to study the brain activity of 18 dogs as they listened to familiar words from their owners. Electrodes were placed on the dogs’ heads to measure their brain responses to recordings of these words, followed by the appearance of corresponding or unrelated objects. 🧠 The study found a significant drop in neural activity when the spoken word matched a related object, mirroring human brain reactions to unexpected words. This suggests that dogs not only recognize verbal cues but also anticipate corresponding objects.🙌🏼 ‼️These findings challenge the belief that cognitive capabilities of animals are limited, indicating dogs may possess a level of abstraction and comprehension previously thought to be unique to humans. The study’s rigorous design ruled out simple word-object association, reinforcing the idea that dogs genuinely understand specific words.‼️ The researchers believe further exploration of animal linguistic abilities could provide insights into the evolution of language and cognition across species and the results from this study offer a promising start! 📚💡 Link to study in stories/highlights! 🔗 #thckcs #holisticcaninehealth #CanineCompanion #canineconnection #rawfeddogs #rawfedcavaliers #CavalierCommunity #cavaliersoflondon #freshfoodfordogs #caninescience

🐾✨💜Welcome to the Cavalier Thrive Hive💜✨🐾 A community celebrating health and happiness. With each post, we’ll be sharing our members’ stories across our group, social media, and website to help inspire others. By showcasing these journeys, we aim to inspire, encourage and support improved health and wellness for all cavaliers, highlighting the positive impact of our community. Together, we can make this wonderful breed healthier. For our first post, we hear from Katherine and her four cavaliers: Everleigh (Ruby, 6), Ivy (Tri, 5/6), Fern (Tri, 5/6), and Remington (Blenheim, 18 months). Katherine joined the group after her cavalier, Buddy, was diagnosed with a heart murmur. After exploring our files and guides, she decided to switch to a fresh diet and saw immediate, incredible changes: “He had more pep in his step and his coat became so soft.” Buddy lived for another two years, which Katherine attributes to the diet change. She now raw feeds all her dogs, including two rescues, and has seen the same amazing benefits. 🎤In Katherine’s words, “They are thriving. Happy and healthy and full of life. Thank you to the wonderful admins that put in the time and dedication to these groups. You all are amazing!!!!”🎤 Want your story to be part of the thrive hive?

Writing articles, staying on top of the latest research and editing content every day can soon take its toll. Every now and again we like to take a break from our educational content. 💜This #thoughtfulthursday we want you to remember to be kind to yourself.We are all on our own journey with our beloved canines - we can only do our best with the knowledge we have.It can be so easy, when following others on social media, to compare ourselves to others.We can often be left wondering “why is my dog not like that?” Maybe I should buy that hot new “thing” that everyone else has?…Why aren’t my bowls aren’t as pretty as others?….My dogs enrichment sessions don’t look like that…you get the point! But before comparing you & your dog to someone else you may see online remember that; 📚Learning is a journey: Everyone starts from scratch. The best pet parents remain open to new information and constantly improve. 💜Intent matters: If your actions come from love and care, forgive yourself for unintended mistakes. 📈Embrace growth: See past challenges as stepping stones to becoming an even better pet parent. 🤝Seek help: Don’t hesitate to ask for help! Our community is always happy to help or connect you with qualified professionals if your dog’s needs are more complex. 🌻Live in the now: Rather than fixating on past mistakes, or what others are doing, focus on providing the best care for your dog today even if it looks different to what everyone else is doing! 🫂Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others. 💜Every dog is a unique living being: Understand that what works for one dog might not work for another. Stay adaptable & be patient. Last but not least, be gentle with yourself & others. We are all on our own paths - but remember to embrace the moment - you & your dog will never be as young as you are now - without distractions, put your phones down, turn your tv off & be still together, enjoy one another & seek comfort from your bond 💜🐾 #thckcs #thoughtfulthursday #CavalierCommunity #holistichound #caninenutrition #thebalancedcanine #positivereinforcementtraining #forcefree #thegooddog #cavaliersoflondon

🚩Pet Food Red Flags; Uncovering Ingredient Splitting in Pet Food 🐾⚠️ How often do you see pet foods boasting that chicken or beef is the #1 ingredient? Likely, quite frequently! Unfortunately, this can be misleading due to a tactic called ingredient splitting. Manufacturers list the same ingredient in multiple forms, such as “pea protein,” “pea flour,” and “whole peas,” to downplay the actual quantity and mask the use of fillers and low-nutrient ingredients. This creates the illusion that high-quality ingredients are more prevalent than they actually are. 🚨Here’s Why It Matters: ⚠️Hides Fillers: Low-quality fillers like corn, peas, and potatoes are split into separate ingredients. 🚫False Advertising: It appears that high-quality ingredients are dominant when they’re not. ‼️🔎How to Spot Ingredient Splitting🔎‼️ 1️⃣. Check Meat Percentage: Dogs and cats thrive on high-protein diets. Look for foods that clearly state the meat percentage. 2️⃣. Review the First 5 Ingredients: Look for repeated ingredients like potatoes, peas, corn, or soy. If you see them listed multiple times, the food likely relies on these fillers. 3️⃣. Avoid Fillers: Opt for grain-free, high-quality foods with minimal ingredients to ensure your pet gets the best nutrition. ❎Why Avoid Fillers?: Fillers like corn, legumes, soy, and potatoes offer little nutritional value. Dogs need high-protein, low-carb diets for optimal health. 👍🏼Here’s What to Do👇🏼 🔎Read Labels Carefully: Always check the first five ingredients and watch for multiple listings of the same ingredient in different forms. 🥩Choose High-Quality Foods: Look for brands that prioritize meat and avoid fillers. Grain-free and minimal ingredient diets are often better choices. Remember you can check out our recommended food lists worldwide, in group and on our website! By staying informed and learning about making the healthiest decisions for your dog, you can make sure your canine companion is getting the best diet you can afford!🐶🍽️🐾 #thckcs #wednesdaywisdom #ingredientsplitting #freshdogfood #feedingdogs #dogfood #healthydogfood #rawfeddogs #holisticcanine #NaturalCanineHealth #rawfeedersofinstagram

🌿As the weekend approaches, let’s discuss the enriching practice of “Paws for Reflection” within your dog walks. This mindful commitment can enhance your weekend outings with your furry friends!🙏🏼🐾  🐾While exercise is vital during dog walks, it’s crucial to pause & reflect on their deeper significance. Our dogs find solace in these moments, embracing the rhythm of life. 🐾Contrary to fast-paced living, “Paws for Reflection” offers benefits for both you & your canine companion. By fostering stillness & contemplation, you deepen your bond while easing frustrations. 🐾Let’s explore the benefits for dogs at different life stages: 🍼Puppies: Pauses allow them to acclimate, learn, and explore. It’s a chance to teach leash manners and strengthen the bond. 🦮Adult Dogs: Mental stimulation & relaxation are essential. “Paws for Reflection” reduces stress, engages their senses, and strengthens your connection. 🐕‍🦺Senior Dogs: Rest breaks are crucial for comfort. Providing activities and a comfortable spot ensures they enjoy outings without discomfort. 📚For deeper insights, check out Nadine Mazzola’s book “Forest Bathing With Dogs.” #canineconnection #pawsforreflection #mindfuldogwalking #enrichingbond #slowdogmovement #naturalcanine #holisticcanine #thckcs #rawfeddogsofinstagram #rawdogfood #canineenrichmentideas #canineenrichment

💜🐾Consider this: we control every facet of our dogs’ lives. From the moment they wake up to the time they go to 💤, we dictate their every move. We decide what they eat, when they eat, where they go for walks, and even who they interact with. Yet, when they exhibit behaviors we deem undesirable, we’re quick to blame it on dominance. But let’s pause and reflect. Who’s truly in control here? Despite our best intentions, are we inadvertently stifling their autonomy and natural instincts? We subject our beloved companions to situations that may induce fear or discomfort 😧, and instead of empathizing, we sometimes find amusement in their reactions. Think about the countless videos and photos circulating on social media 🤳🏽 depicting dogs in compromising situations for our entertainment and someone else’s “viral” gain. We strip away their ability to make choices, and then wonder why they struggle to conform to our expectations. The concept of dominance in canine behaviour is often misunderstood and misapplied. While dominance does exist in certain contexts, such as within social hierarchies among dogs, our human-centric interpretation of dominance is flawed. Dogs aren’t constantly vying for power or trying to assert dominance over us; rather, they seek guidance, companionship, and security from their human companions. 🙏🏼 It’s time for a paradigm shift in our relationship with dogs. Instead of viewing them as subordinate beings to be controlled, let’s treat them as the valued family members they are, deserving of respect, understanding, and autonomy. 💞Let’s embrace their individuality, honor their instincts, and provide them with opportunities to express themselves authentically. By relinquishing our need for control and adopting a more empathetic and compassionate approach, we can foster deeper bonds with our 🐕 companions and create environments where they can thrive both physically and emotionally. Together, let’s empower our dogs to live their best lives and celebrate the unique connection we share with them. - Libby 💜 #thckcs #thoughtfulthursday #thoughtprovokingthursday #amomenttopaws #thursdaythoughts #EmpowerYourDog #DogFamily #petempowerment

🐶🐾🦴 What’s Really In Your Dogs Food? 🐾🐶🦴 When selecting pet food, it’s crucial to grasp the distinction between feed and food grade ingredients. In this weeks article, we discuss the problematic inclusion of 4D meats in pet food and help you to understand the process these meats go through before being added to pet food. We also highlight the importance of knowing the difference between feed and food grade; 👉Feed grade ingredients are often sourced from various parts of animals, including by-products and rendered materials, which may not meet the same rigorous standards for quality and safety as food grade ingredients. 👉On the other hand, food grade ingredients are held to higher standards and are suitable for human consumption. They undergo more stringent testing and processing to ensure they meet strict safety and quality criteria. Opting for food grade pet food ensures that your furry companion is consuming ingredients of the highest quality, free from contaminants and of the same standard as the food you would serve your family. This choice not only promotes your pet’s health but also provides peace of mind for you as a responsible pet owner.

Did you catch the latest news? The British Kennel Club just dropped a bombshell announcing their partnership with Mars Petcare. It’s like a Taylor Swift song gone wrong – major heartache! Seeing such a prestigious organization cozying up with Mars, the giant behind mainstream dog food brands, is like a “Bad Blood” situation for our pets. As advocates for fresh, nutritious food, it’s a real “Blank Space” moment to witness them pushing processed products as top-notch nutrition. It’s truly disheartening and dismaying to witness a major governing body aligning itself with a company like Mars. Mars, the conglomerate behind several mainstream dog food brands, unfortunately produces products that aren’t optimal for our beloved pets. As a significant influence on dog-rearing standards, the kennel club’s decision to partner with companies peddling subpar, overly processed foods is deeply concerning. They’re now touting these products as the pinnacle of pet nutrition, and it’s alarming. As a group who fervently advocates for feeding dogs fresh food, this regressive mindset is incredibly disappointing. We know the benefits of fresh, wholesome foods, yet this partnership seems to ignore that entirely. This partnership feels more like a “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” situation born out of pure greed and we are left feeling deeply disheartened by this news.

‼️The Hidden Dangers of Raw Hide‼️ With Christmas around the corner it’s likely you’ll have seen the endless amounts of colourful raw hide treats and pet treat stockings full of raw hide, but sadly like most things in the pet food industry, raw hide is anything but a “treat”. Rawhide chews and bones are very popular for dogs. They come in all sorts of sizes, and they are pretty cheap to buy. Depending on the dog, a rawhide can last days or even weeks! This chemically processed meat byproduct poses a very real threat to our dogs and should be avoided at all costs! In fact, the Humane Society of the United States and the ASPCA both discourage rawhide consumption and list it among the dangerous household products for pets (next to pesticides and cleaning chemicals). If you still use rawhide, read on to find out more about why you should stop - and what chewing alternatives are. Another useful tool to help you choose beneficial and healthy foods and treats this Christmas is our naughty and nice Christmas food article live now; https://www.thehealthycavalierkingcharlesspaniel.co.uk/articles/the-christmas-naughty-amp-nice-foods-list 💜If you found this post helpful, and to ensure our posts keep showing on your feed, remember to… Like 👍🏼 Save 🗂 Share 🔗 #rawhidedangers #barf #dogfood #doglovers #dogoftheday #dogtreats #healthydog #healthydogtreats #petfood #canineobesity #thckcs #raw #rawfed #rawfeedersofinstagram #rawfeeding #rawfeedingadviceandsupport #rawfeedinggreatbritain #rawfeedinguk #rawfeedinginspo #rawfeedinglasvegas #rawfeedinglife #rawfeedingmovement #rawfeedingnz #rawfeedingph #rawfeedingrules #rawfeedingsanjose #rawfeedingsg #rawfeedinguniversity #rawfeedingvancouver #rawfood

🐾 Making Informed Choices for Your Dog!🌱🚫 Did you know? Grain-free dog food that includes peas, peanuts, and lentils may appear budget-friendly, but these ingredients lack essential nutrients and mainly serve as fillers. The lectins present in these ingredients can hinder nutrient absorption, potentially causing allergies and discomfort during digestion. 🍽️ What's worse, many high-lectin foods can often be contaminated with glyphosate, a pesticide known to be carcinogenic. 🌾🐶🚫 🙅‍♀️ Therefore, we advise pet owners to minimize the use of legumes that are rich in lectins and phytates. These anti-nutrients, when fed long term on a daily basis can deplete minerals and contribute to gastrointestinal issues. Fortunately, there are numerous healthier alternatives available in today's market that can support your dog's well-being without compromise! 🐕💚 To learn more about why we recommend reducing legume consumption for your facultative carnivore, check out the informative infographic above and check out our “when raw food is not an option” article on our website for healthy food alternatives! 📸📚 #MakeInformedChoicesForYourPup #PrioritizeHealthyPets #thckcs

A Bear 🐻 & His Boost ✨ We receive countless private messages from pet owners seeking alternative options to raw food and this post is dedicated to those of you facing a similar situation! We hear you, we understand you, and today I want to introduce you to my sister's adorable puppy, Bear. Like our other pups, Bear started off on a raw diet, but his picky eating habits led him to prefer something else for his daily diet. And that's absolutely fine! You see, we believe that the often heated "Raw vs Cooked" debate is unnecessary. And so, when we talk about "feeding fresh," we're suggesting a fresh, balanced, species-appropriate diet that suits your dog and your unique circumstances. No one knows your dog better than you, and we fully acknowledge that a raw food diet may not be suitable for every dog and thus for some, fresh may mean gently cooked. Bear is flourishing on a species-appropriate, gently cooked fresh dog food that meets his nutritional needs. Now he can enjoy his meals to the fullest again! So, if you have a dog like Bear and you're feeling discouraged because they won't eat raw, don't worry! We have a wealth of articles on our website that offer raw food alternatives in the U.K. 🇬🇧 & USA 🇺🇸, a fussy eating guide, and even our own balanced recipes in case you want to become your furry friend's personal chef! 👩🏽‍🍳 You can also reach out to our team, whether privately or through our groups. We are here to assist you, regardless of what you choose to feed your beloved companion! We even have dedicated home cooking and raw feeding groups set up to support you on your fresh feeding journey! You can find all our links in our bio aswell as our website! So come on in, take a look around & remember, while having a healthy dog is crucial, ensuring their happiness is equally important! ❤️🐻🥩🐶 #freshdogfood #cookeddogfood #rawfeddogs #thckcs #freshfoodfordogs #holisticnutrition

🐾🐶The Dogs Nose, Knows 🐶🐾 You may have heard the popular phrase "let them sniff" but just how important of a role does scent play in our dog's lives? Remarkably, with training, dogs can sniff out bombs, drugs, pursue suspects, and find dead bodies. And more and more, they’re being used experimentally to detect human diseases; cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis, and now, malaria all just from the smell alone. But just how powerful is a dogs nose? And why is it so important for their overall health and well-being?

🦴Do you find it hard to find long lasting and natural chews that are right for your dog?🦴 We can help with that! 🧠 Natural chews can help to provide your dog with mental stimulation and reduce boredom or anxiety in your pet by redirecting their destructive chewing behaviour. This is because when dogs chew - endorphins are released which can provide a calming effect for the dog. 🦷 A great way to keep your dog's teeth clean and healthy is by giving them a tasty and natural chew. The mechanics of the jaw chewing helps with plaque and tartar build up. For puppies, chews can provide that same enrichment whilst also helping them through the teething phase. 🛒 There are a variety of dog chews available on the market, so we hope we have made it easy for you to find the best one for your dog by providing our recommendations below. ⚠️ As always, we recommend dogs are always supervised and extra caution is taken when any chew is given. In particular, harder chews like antlers/yaks should not be given to aggressive chewers. Finally, we also recommend avoiding chews sourced from Asia as well as weight bearing, dehydrated chews, like doe legs etc. 🌐📚You can learn more about choosing natural treats and chews for your dogs on our website - link in stories & bio! Happy Chewing! 🐶🐾🦴💜 #cavalierhealth #thckcs #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #barf #rawfeddogs #rawfeeding #naturaldogtreats #naturaldogchews #dogchews #dogfood #rawfoodfordogs

Are You Taking Care Of Your Pets Weight?🤔 According to the PDSA, 81% of vets and nurses have seen an increase in pet obesity over the last four years and in increasingly younger animals. Obesity is fast becoming one of the most serious health problems affecting our pets and pet owners can often take overweight or obese dogs casually.  Currently, figures show that 55.8% or more of dogs are overweight or obese. Yet these dogs are at a greater risk for a number of serious consequences as well as it negatively impacting their health, in 2019 Banfield released research that showed that the lifespan of overweight dogs was up to 2 1/2 years shorter, on average, than the lifespan of dogs with a healthy body weight. A dog doesn’t have to be clinically obese to experience health consequences. Being just 10% overweight decreases a dog’s lifespan by one-third and predisposes him to heart, kidney and liver disease as well as diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. Learn more about the importance of body condition scoring and the risks of canine obesity on our website!
