🍄 CANCER HATES MUSHROOMS 🐾

This was the conclusion of Pennsylvania State University researchers who analyzed mushroom consumption on cancer risk, involving 19,500 patients.

The patients with the highest mushroom consumption - (2/3 of an ounce daily) - had a 45% lower risk of developing cancer.

Another study by Bastyr University, conducted on a group of dogs with an aggressive cancer (hemangiosarcoma), found that feeding a Turkey Tail mushroom supplement extended lifespan by over 50% While more research needs to be done on mushrooms, these findings are incredibly exciting for dog lovers!

Sadly, most of us who’ve had dogs have been touched by evil C-word.

CANCER KILLS HALF OF ALL DOGS. This fact is absolutely stunning and in recent years the trend is only getting worse.

When I began reading the research around mushrooms and cancer, I started giving my 13 year old husky a mushroom supplement daily. She lived and thrived until age 18, and while I can’t prove the supplement extended her lifespan, I believe it had a major impact. We certainly cannot yet say that mushrooms treat cancer, but there is sufficient evidence to say they greatly support the immune system of both dogs and humans.

P.S. - In case anyone is wondering, all mushrooms that are safe for humans to eat are safe for dogs!

Rawhide chews are not christmas gifts; they are unplanned ER vet visits just waiting to happen!
They are terrible for dogs but stores sell them because people keep buying them. Rawhide are harmful from processing with irritating chemicals, the small choking hazard pieces, the swallowed piece sits in the stomach and irritates your dogs stomach for months or forms a complete blockage from a big piece or several smaller pieces clumping together in the dogs intestines.

Canine intestinal blockage or foreign body surgery costs about 2-3k in this area to treat an obstruction. That $7 candy cane rawhide doesn't look so cute now, does it?

These are the most common rawhide risks:

Contamination. As with pet toys, rawhide chews can contain trace amounts of toxic chemicals. And, as with other pet (or human) foods, Salmonella or E. coli contamination is possible. Even humans can be at risk when coming into contact with these bacteria on rawhide treats.

Digestive irritation. Some dogs are simply sensitive or allergic to rawhide or other substances used in their manufacture processes. This can cause problems, including diarrhea and vomiting.

Choking or blockages. Rawhide bones and other edible chews can pose a choking and blockage risk. In fact, this is a much bigger risk than contamination or digestive irritation. If your dog swallows large pieces of rawhide, the rawhide can get stuck in the esophagus or other parts of the digestive tract. Depending on its size and where it is located, a local vet may be able to remove these pieces fairly easily through the throat. But sometimes, abdominal surgery is needed to remove them from the stomach or intestines. If it isn’t resolved, a blockage can lead to death.

It doesn't take much. Similar to the way small pieces of hair clog a drain, the small pieces of rawhide can clump and block your dog similar to the various items pictured in the first photo below. This is usually a hard thing to diagnose because rawhide is skin. Xrays don't show skin very well so usually a contrast study with barium is needed. Typically a barium study runs $500-900 in this area. Once the blockage is found then the surgery or endoscopic retrieval can be done. The best case scenario is your dog is puking and pooping out the pieces and this can be painful it there's a pointed piece that injures the tissues on its way out.

Please save your dog some pain and yourself hours waiting at an emergency clinic and thousands of dollars.

Don't buy rawhide.
