As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to upend our lives, many of us have found ourselves working from home far more than we ever have before. And while there are certainly challenges that come with this new way of life, there are also some definite perks – like being able to bring our furry friends to work with us!
NatrixOne has always encouraged employees to bring their four-legged friends to work, finding that dogs bring social support to employees while also providing opportunities for collaboration across teams. In addition to NatrixOne’s commitment to the health and wellbeing of their employees, NatrixOne is also committed to the health of their dogs. As we start to return to normal, setting a new standard for how businesses can create a healthier and more productive workplace is important to Us.
There are number of reasons why dogs make great office mates. For one, they can help reduce stress and provide social support for employees who may be feeling isolated or anxious. Dogs also have a way of breaking down barriers between people and promoting collaboration across teams. In fact, a recent study found that dog-friendly workplaces are actually more productive than those without furry friends!
Of course, it’s important to make sure that both you and your dog are comfortable with the arrangement before bringing him or her to the office. And if you do decide to go this route, be sure your dog can remain calm and quiet in busy environments. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a workplace that is fun for everyone – including your four-legged friend!
Dogs bring social support to employees while also providing opportunities for team collaboration that might otherwise not happen. The human-animal bond is something that has long been studied. It’s hard to look at your dog and not smile. Its presence only makes us happy. Why is that, you ask? Well, some of it is just that they are so darn cute and funny, but there is some science behind it, too.
Let’s talk about the science for a second. What happens to us internally to make the bond with our pet so strong? Studies have shown that multiple hormones are released when pets are around us.
Having animals around has been shown to produce the following health benefits:
So, keep your pets around and enjoy them while they help keep you healthy. You will also see improved health in your four-legged friends. In a 2016 survey of pet owners conducted by the Human-Animal Bond Research Institute, 74% of pet owners reported mental health improvements from pet ownership, and 75% reported that a friend’s or family member’s mental health had improved from pet ownership.

Happy Summer Solstice! As the temperature starts to rise, it’s important to keep our furry friends in mind. While they may enjoy chasing a ball around in the heat, it’s crucial to make sure they don’t overdo it and end up with heat stroke.

In addition to dozens of awesome ways to use NatrixOne in frozen treats, we have dozens of great ways to keep your pup cool while living their best life this summer. #shopsmall #shoplocal #inthistogetherohio #omega3 #omegas #jointhealth #omega6 #vitaminoil #polyphenols #doghealth #healthydog #vegandog #inflammation #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #dogsofcincy #camelina #doglover #dogsofig #natrixone #healthypets
NatrixOne can be used in a variety of different ways to make sure your dog stays cool all summer long. Fill an old sock with Water and a pump of NatrixOne, tie it off, and freeze it for a quick and easy way to keep your pup cool on a hot day. You could also mix NatrixOne with some canned pumpkin and freeze it in an ice cube tray for a healthy and refreshing treat. Or, for a fun summertime activity, try making our NatrixOne Pupsicles this fourth of July! Your dog will love the tasty treat and you’ll love knowing they’re staying cool and comfortable all day long. So whatever your plans are this summer, don’t forget about your dog. Here are some questions and answers regarding overheating during the hot months of summer.
The best way to cool down a dog at night is to quickly move them to a colder area, such as in front of a fan or air conditioning vent. Another tactic is to give your pet a cool drink of water or frozen treat to keep them from overheating. At NatrixOne, we have a long list of excellent frozen treats to keep your dog cool including:
If you leave your dog in the car but don’t want them to overheat on a warm day, be sure to leave your AC on; this is the most effective method. But be sure to give them water breaks and check on them frequently, and if you’re unable to use AC, keep the windows cracked.
Once again, water is a great way to cool down an overheated dog. Frozen towels, bandanas, or collars are also effective. If your dog is anxious is overheating as a way to relieve their stress, move them to a quiet and cool room. Massages or just physical touch is great for calming dogs down.
A puppy can overheat much faster than a full-sized adult dog. For this reason, extra precaution is needed when traveling with them during summer months. A good ways to cool them off is to offer an ice cube to lick, or frozen NatrixOne Puppy treat. A kiddie pool filled with cold hose water is also a great way to introduce your dog to swimming and keep them cool and clean.
A comfortable temperature for your dog is anywhere between 75 to 78 degrees. If you have a puppy, small, old, short-haired or less healthy dog, it is recommended to keep a warm bed or extra blanket around in case they get cold. You should not set your thermostat to anything lower than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
It’s fairly easy to recognize if your dog is too hot. Three signs that will be present are: labored breathing, heavy panting, and excessive salivation.
Certain breeds will overheat quicker than others. If you have a Bulldog (yes, this includes French Bulldogs), Greyhound, Golden Retriever, Pug or Chow Chow, take care to be extra vigilant this summer. Dogs with double coats such as Huskies and Labradors are also prone to overheating.
If you find yourself in the situation where your dog is locked in your car, there are a few different approaches you can take. First, call a locksmith. Secondly, try to pry open the trunk to both increase airflow and get your dog out. Do NOT smash a window unless you are absolutely certain the glass is not in the path to harm your pet. This should only be a last resort.

As temperatures drop across the eastern part of the US this week and precipitation settle in, our furry family will be spending more time in the harsh elements. Every year dozens of Canines succumb to hypothermia from negligence. Careful planning and extra precaution can lead to a safe but fun day playing in the snow. Dogs will love playing outside this winter, but it’s important to take precautions to keep them safe.
Here at NatrixOne we always make sure to bring along some of our NatrixBones Camelina Dog Biscuits, which will help keep your furry friend warm and healthy. These biscuits are made with natural ingredients and fortified with vitamin e and minerals, so they’re perfect for keeping your dog warm and active this winter. Additionally, we’ve put together a canine winter safety guide to keep in mind as you head outside this week.

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.
