None of this is about looks. It's about keeping your dog mobile and comfortable for as long as possible.

So the most loving bowl? It's a measured one. Next vet visit, ask for your dog's body condition score.
Save this for the next time those eyes say "just one more." 🐾

Nobody sets out to overfeed their dog. It starts as love, a treat for being cute, a bite off your plate, a bedtime biscuit just because.

None of it feels like too much. But dogs are small, and little extras don't ask permission. They just add up. 🐶

[FiveLeafPetBotanicals @fiveleafpet]

If you want one simple guardrail: the 10% rule.

Treats, snacks, and table scraps together, no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories. The other 90% does the real work, a complete, balanced diet. Same treats. Just counted.

(from the AAHA nutrition guidelines)

None of this replaces the boring, everyday stuff. That's where most of the good lives:

– Fresh, clean water all day
– Whole-food, balanced meals
– Antioxidant-rich ingredients
– Daily movement, even a short sniff walk
– Regular check-ups with your vet
Small daily choices. That's the whole thing.

Your dog's liver is the quiet, hardworking hero of their whole body, and it rarely asks for anything.

Supporting it isn't about fixing something broken. It's about daily nourishment, so it can keep doing what it does best. Here's what the science actually says. 🌿

[FiveLeafPetBotanicals @fiveleafpet]

Oxidative stress is just part of normal biology, and the body's antioxidant systems help keep it in balance.

In another canine study, a blend with silybin, S-acetyl-glutathione, vitamin E, B-vitamins, and orange bioflavonoids supported the body's antioxidant balance and was well tolerated.

About 94%. 🐾

Trained dogs picked out COVID by smell right around 94% of the time. Illness changes the body's chemistry, and that changes how a person smells, far too faintly for us, but not for a nose like theirs.

Barkology 101 🐾

Dogs can be trained to smell illness on a person's breath and skin. When they tested them on detecting COVID by scent, how often did they get it right?

World Animal Day is here. 🐾

The theme this year "see the world through their eyes" is a good one to sit with. Our dogs experience a whole world we mostly miss. Today's a nice nudge to slow down and meet them in it.

@marielsanchezzz The No Phone Walk is one of my favorites too. There's something about being fully present with your dog that does both of you good. And Sniff Safari? Yes! Let them take their time, sniffing is how they read the world. 📷📷

It's National Walk Your Dog Week. Same leash, same dog, five little adventures.
You don't need a new trail or a spare hour. Just a small change to the walk you're already doing. Here are 5 to try. 🦮

[FiveLeafPetBotanicals @fiveleafpet]

Five walks, one leash, one good week. None of these are hard. They're just the small, everyday kind of thing that quietly adds up.

Which one are you trying first? 👇

5. The no-phone walk.

Leave it in your pocket for one full walk. No scrolling, no photos, no "quick" email.

Just you and your dog, actually there together. They notice when you're really present. So will you.
