Why Does My Dog Itch? Dogs itch due to a reaction inside their bodies to an allergen. What are the different types of allergens? One of the most common is environmental allergies that cross the skin’s protective barriers. These can be trees, grasses, pollen, molds, weeds, and even dust mites in the house. Another common … Read more
If your dog is suffering from gut inflammation, NatrixOne is a helpful natural remedy. Camelina oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. In a study of dogs with inflammatory bowel disease, those who were given camelina oil showed significant improvements in their symptoms. NatrixOne helped to reduce inflammation in the gut and improve the overall health of the dogs’ digestive systems. In addition to camelina oil, a plant-based diet can also be helpful in preventing gut inflammation. Foods that are rich in antioxidants and fiber are especially beneficial, as they help to reduce oxidative stress and promote a healthy gut microbiome. By incorporating camelina oil and a plant-based diet into your dog’s routine, you can help to reduce gut inflammation and improve your dog’s overall health.
Canine Inflammatory Bowel disease is a condition caused by ongoing inflammation in your dog’s intestine. The inflammation is an immune system response that can become painful when left untreated. Symptoms can include:
The two biggest factors behind gut inflammation involve diet and stress levels of the dog. Occasionally genetics and/or exposure to a parasite can trigger an IBD response. While there is no cure for IBD in dogs or humans, the symptoms are treatable by a handful of medications as well as a recommended change in diet. The great news is removing environmental stress and selecting a diet that is high in anti-inflammatory properties can greatly reduce IBD symptoms without resorting to long-term pharmacuticals.
The majority of foods low in inflammation include fatty fish, berries, plant-based protein, pumpkin, apple, legumes, soy, rice, avocado, green tea, olive oil, and tomatoes. Many of these ingredients can be found in our NatrixOne Recipes and our flagship Camelina plant-based supplement.
The average length of time between manufacturing and retail sales of mass-produced dog food creates a long shelf life that depletes the food of its nutritional value? Thankfully a handful of retailers in addition to NatrixOne are on a mission to create dog (& cat) food that is fresh and high-quality like human food. Michele Hobbs of Pet Wants in Cincinnati set out to create Fresh, nutritional pet food from the highest quality ingredients, slow-cooked in small batches, and delivered right to your door. They also offer a free nutritional analysis for your four-legged friend to help determine which food is best suited for your breed.

His fur is much softer and his skin is much clearer including his tear stains. It’s super easy to use, just mix it in … Read more

Most dogs are tolerant of temperatures as low as 40-45 degrees Fahrenheit, with the exception of arctic breeds. When heading into the elements, be sure to limit your dog’s playtime in the ice or snow to 30 minutes.
If you suspect your dog is suffering from prolonged exposure to the cold, wrap him or her in a warm towel. Inspect the paws, which are at the highest frostbite risk, for cracking, swelling, discoloration, or extensive tissue damage. If there is bleeding seek medical attention for a qualified provider.
Most long-haired dog breeds will tolerate the cold weather without extra clothing. However, every year dozens of dogs suffer fatalities from being left outside. We encourage all owners to protect their pup accordingly with a dog coat that is designed to keep in warmth over impressing spectators.
Dog boots are an effective way to protect paws from frostbite. In addition to boots, you can apply paw wax directly to the bottom of paws to protect them from harmful street and sidewalk salts that cause abrasions.
Consuming snow in small quantities is generally safe for dogs. Snow that has been exposed to harmful chemicals, waste, or dirt should be avoided. Rock salt that is used to deter ice buildup on streets and sidewalks is harmful to dogs. Consuming too much snow will lower your dog’s body temperature so don’t leave them unattended at the freshly fallen winter banquet.
Dogs that have constant exposure to snowscapes can suffer from snow blindness, also known as photokeratitis. Symptoms of snow blindness in dogs include bloodshot or swollen eyes. While not widely common in Western countries, wearing dog goggles will help protect against the risk of snow blindness.
