OFFER FOODS TO YOUR DOG🐶 THAT CAN ACTIVATE THEIR LONGEVITY GENES🧬!

All hail the mighty Sardine🐟!! These small fish are named after the "Blue Zone" island of Sardinia🏝, which is home to some of the longest-lived people in the world, and one of the staple fish consumed by these centenarians.👵🏼🧓🏼

Why feed these to your dog🐾? Because sardines are jam-packed with important nutrients, it makes them one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet and one of our recommended “🌟 Core Longevity Toppers🌟” to add to your dog’s bowl!

Check it out: Sardines are a rich source of selenium⚡️ that is vital for thyroid health, and helpful in neutralizing free radicals and protecting the organs🫁 from damage. Sardines are also an excellent source of vitamin B-12⚡️ which supports healthy methylation, nerve function and detoxification. Sardines supply the highest levels of EPA and DHA ⚡️and the lowest levels of mercury of any fish.

Dozens of human studies involving hundreds of thousands of participants eating sardines twice a week found consumption reduces the risk of dying from heart disease🫀 by 36 percent, with Dr. Aleix Sala-Vila’s research group concluding regular consumption may increase life expectancy in humans by 5 years. These essential fatty acids also play a big role in your dog’s🐕 skin integrity by decreasing inflammation and promoting healthy skin function.

Sardines also supply a rich food source of vitamin D⚡️, which is vital for our dogs’ overall health and must be consumed in the diet, as dogs can’t make vitamin D from sunlight☀️.

Finally, these small fish serve up CoQ10⚡️, a coenzyme with antioxidant properties. Extensive research shows that CoQ10 boosts cellular energy output throughout the body. By increasing the efficiency of our mitochondrial powerhouses, CoQ10 reduces oxidant damage and provides protection for every cell in the body, potentially extending both healthspan and lifespan.

One of the best reasons to regularly feed sardines in place of other fish is because of their sustainability🌊 and low levels of contamination. Buy sardines packed in water (or fresh, if you can get ’em, steer clear of farmed fish). A sardine for every 20lbs of body weight, two or three times a week, will do the trick.

STUDY REVEALS THE LINK BETWEEN OUR LAWNS, OUR PETS🐾, CANCER🔥 AND US

Beware pet parents: Treating your lawn with yard chemicals☠️, allowing your pet to eat or play on grass that’s been sprayed💦, or walking your pet on golf courses⛳️ can negatively affect our dog’s health, according to several studies. In fact, it can impact your entire family, as pets can bring those chemicals back inside!

In our new book, The Forever Dog, it was critical for us to highlight things in and around your home that could damage your pet’s DNA. According to Dr. David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics, and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School- “DNA damage speeds up aging.”

Several studies show: dogs exposed (through laying, playing, ingesting or inhalation) to treated lawns has been associated with a significantly higher bladder cancer risk, and dogs whose owners reported use of professionally applied lawn pesticides were 70 PERCENT more likely to have lymphoma (cancer). In fact, there was an even higher risk of lymphoma if owners used self-applied insect growth regulators on their yards to control cockroaches, fleas, and other pests!🐜

Our book focuses on how to raise the healthiest, happiest, long-lived dogs, and in it we teach you how to evaluate your dog’s indoor and outdoor environmental chemical exposure⚠️. In the section of the book titled Environmental Impact: The Body Burden, where we offer you tips like:

• Safer lawn-care options
• DIY non-toxic w**d killer recipes
• Home Chemical Exposure Pet checklist
• Forever Dog Foot Soak Recipe
• Supplements that support chemical clearance

We know many of you Longevity Junkies have already pre-ordered your copy of the book (thank you!!😻) but are desperate for solutions and suggestions right NOW! We put together a handy guide with gems from the book you can institute this week.

This free resource is crucial this summer if you have pets spending time outdoors because even if you don’t buy lawn chemicals, it doesn’t mean your dog isn’t being exposed. Home foot soaks after walks in parks and public spaces can go a long way in reducing your dog’s chemical exposure.

Top ten reasons why I would keep my dog on a leash while hiking.

I used to enjoy hiking in the Olympics and the Cascades with my dogs off-leash. I did this for years, and never had any serious problems. Now that I have become a finder of lost dogs, I realize that I just got lucky on all those hikes, and the dangers of hiking with your dog off-leash are just not worth it.

1. Your dog could get lost. Having your dog off-leash in the mountains or in remote areas can result in your dog being lost in difficult terrain. Even if your dog has been fine on numerous hikes, it only takes one time for your dog to chase a deer or get spooked by a swooping owl, and suddenly your dog is gone. Finding a lost dog in the wilderness has different challenges than finding a lost dog in the city. I know of many dogs that were lost and never found.

2. Your dog could go off a cliff. Chloe, a cattle dog, fell off a cliff recently, and needed $7,000 of surgery and vet care after an extensive effort to rescue her. Other dogs who went off cliffs were never found. A dog can’t read a topographical map and may be unaware of the danger.

3. Your dog could encounter someone with a gun. While most hikers are very friendly and tolerant of dogs, there are a few who carry guns and might feel threatened by an off-leash dog unexpectedly coming toward them. Also, many people who shoot guns in the wilderness don’t have common sense and/or don’t follow reasonable laws or guidelines. If there is gunfire, you want to have your dog near you.

4. Poison mushrooms and other toxins. One of my dogs is constantly trying to eat things off the ground, and I often find myself prying his jaws apart and fishing something out. Most hiking trails will have mushrooms growing beside them, and many mushrooms are poisonous. It can be difficult to tell the edible ones from the toxic ones.

5. Yellow jackets and bees. If a dog accidentally steps on a ground nest of yellow jackets, they will cling to his fur and bite repeatedly until you scrape them all off. Dogs can be allergic to bee stings, too. If your dog is near you, on a leash, on the trail, this will reduce the chances of encountering bees or yellow jackets. Plus, you will be able to quickly administer anti-histamine if needed.

6. Your dog could be swept into a fast river. I was hiking along the Duckabush River with my three dogs, and the trail came close to the river. I stopped to take pictures, trying to keep an eye on my dogs and keep them away from the water with verbal commands. I looked upstream and saw my black Lab, a very good swimmer, standing near the river. I looked away, and looked back a moment later and she was gone. The river was very loud, and I couldn’t hear any event or incident. I looked around and saw her on the river bank fifteen feet downstream, wet, with big eyes, clearly alarmed at how fast the river took her away. I’m probably just lucky I didn’t lose her that day.

7. Bears and cougars. If there are bears and cougars around, you definitely want to have your dogs close to you, on leash, under control. One thing that can happen with bears in particular is that the dog might chase after a bear, soon realize that was a mistake, and then come running back to you. A dog might outrun a bear, but you definitely won’t. If your dog is off-leash, you might not be aware of a bear or cougar until it’s too late if your dog is wandering far ahead of you.

8. Devil’s club. Most dogs will avoid brambles and thorns if they are bothered by them, and some dogs just don’t care about them. Devil’s club, Oplopanax horridus, has thorns that can cause infection, and take a long time to heal. A dog wandering off-leash wouldn’t be able to tell Devil’s Club apart from any other plant. Google it to see a picture, but it grows near streams or wet areas, usually five to fifteen feet tall, with very large leaves, with spines on every part of the stem and the leaf.

9. You can monitor your dog for signs of fatigue or dehydration. If your dog is on leash, near you, you can see symptoms that may come on quickly. Another risk if your dog is off-leash would be over-hydration, or water toxicity. Several of my dogs tend to drink large amounts of water and they don’t seem to ever reach a point when they have had enough. I monitor them to make sure they don’t drink too much, which I couldn’t do if they were off leash, out of sight.

10. It’s just the polite thing to do. While many hikers won’t care if your happy, friendly dog is off-leash, some hikers really don’t like dogs. They should be able to enjoy the wilderness without having to endure unwanted visits from dogs. Also, if your dog is on a leash, you will be able to see if he poops and you can pick it up. If he’s out of sight, you might miss it. It’s also rude to wildlife to let your dogs harass the critters.

Even if you have hiked with your dog off-leash for years, without any problems, please consider keeping your dog on a leash on future hikes. If you are just starting hiking with your dog, train him right, from the beginning, to walk on a leash with you while hiking. Although the risks listed above may be somewhat unlikely, if you hike for years, your dog will eventually encounter one or more of these dangers. If your off-leash dog never came back from a hiking adventure, you would never forgive yourself. Be safe, and keep your best friend close to you.
