Treat Time--Stock Up!

This is the LAST WEEK to stock up on Wild Meadow Farms Dog Treats!!  They have 5 brands and LOTS of flavors and formulas to choose from.  Each bag is now $1 off! 

 

  • Gibson's: Gibson's dog treats are artfully crafted in small batches with high quality ingredients. They use both solar energy and natural wood smoking to help produce the treats. Whether gently toasted or freeze dried, they go the extra mile to provide a safe treat you can feel confident feeding your dog.
  • Wild Meadow Farms: Wild Meadow Farms dog treats contain NO grains, fillers, corn, sugar, salt, soy, or animal by-products. Their treats contain all U.S.A. raised and sourced ingredients. They are very serious about quality and therefore all of their dog treats are minimally processed in the USA. Not just the production of the treats is important, but also the bags in which they are packaged. All of their bags are printed in the U.S.A. with all U.S.A. materials.
  • Lancaster Meat Co.: Lancaster Meat Co. treats are made in the USA with NO grains, soy, corn, or wheat. Each treat is prepared in small batches with its own unique process to provide your dog a variety of tastes and textures. With so many styles and flavors to try, your dog will go wild with the exotic varieties.
  • Bounty Bites: Bounty Bites are whole food ingredient treats that are deliciously healthy for your dog. Unlike regular treats, Bounty Bites are grain free and gluten free. With all natural ingredients, these range from tasty Biscuits to meaty Jerky Trainers.
  • Barbacoa:  These 100% USA hand-sliced and air-dried whole cuts of meat are smoked in an old school way to create a delicious and irresistible natural jerky treat for your dog.

Raw Nutrition--Gotta Get Some

Here at EOTL we believe feeding a species-appropriate diet is one of the best things you can do for your pet!  

One aspect of that is providing FRESH protein.  Protein that has not been chemically processed or exposed to high heat has nearly all its enzymes and nutrients intact, providing high quality, bioavailable nutrition.  These proteins also include ground-up bone, which also assist in digestion, provide more nutrients, and even contribute to better dental health!

So it's safe to say that incorporating or rotating in some raw food--or switching completely over--could drastically improve your pet's overall health and well-being.

Pepper loves her Nature's Variety Instinct raw food mixed with her favorite Nature's Variety Instinct canned. It keeps her high-energy Aussie nature fueled and vital!

Pepper loves her Nature's Variety Instinct raw food mixed with her favorite Nature's Variety Instinct canned. It keeps her high-energy Aussie nature fueled and vital!

Here are just a FEW of the benefits of feeding raw:

  • Improved digestion
  • Weight balance
  • Cleaner teeth
  • Vitality and energy
  • Reduced or eliminated allergies (especially when grain-free)
  • Healthy coat (which reduces fleas and other skin-related issues)

We encourage you to do some research, or even stop in and chat with us!  We offer several brands of raw food, and our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the best one for your pet's needs and your budget and give you pointers on how to incorporate it into your pet's diet!

ALSO...this summer we are offering Frozen Friday raw food specials!!  

This week's brand is Stella & Chewy's. Stop in for 20% off, all day, Friday, August 18th.

If you'd like to learn more about the Stella & Chewy's brand and mission, we will have a representative at both of our locations the day of the sale!

Stop in Pewaukee from 9am-1pm on Friday, August 18th or in Mukwonago from 2pm-6pm to chat with the S&C specialist!

Is the Asphalt Too Hot-Hot-Hot for a Walk?

 

It's summer. Buddy needs exercise and it's hot out.  No problem--take some water for both of us and slip on a tank top, shorts and running shoes.  Something we may forget to consider, though, is what about Buddy's feet? It's easy for us to forget how HOT the pavement gets, even on a temperate, sunny day.  

This short and informative article by poochandclaws.com gives some easy tips and tricks on how to know if the pavement is too hot for Buddy's tootsies!  Stay cool!

---> Click here to read the full article, "Summer Pet Tips: Hot Asphalt and Your Dog" <---

 

Cool treats for HOT days!

 

It's super easy to whip up a few stuffed frozen treats for Fido during the hot dog days of summer! There are tons of ideas out there, and here are a few we love:

First, you need something to stuff! A Kong or a hollowed-out center bone works great.

Then stuff it with one or more of the following:

  • canned pumpkin
  • raw or canned dog food
  • unsweetened applesauce
  • plain yogurt
  • mashed banana mixed with a touch of peanut butter
  • or your pet's favorite mushy treat!

 

For an even easier treat, try a frozen OC Raw bone or some Bear and the Rat Ice Cream--both available at either of our End of the Leash locations  :)

Does Your Pet Have Dry, Itchy Skin?

At one time or another, our sweet animal friends may experience a bout of dry, flaky skin--or worse, have chronically itchy skin.  Dr. Karen Becker of healthypets.mercola.com wrote an informative article listing some of the main reasons this might be happening to your pet and some tips on how to resolve the issue.

The four most like reasons for dry skin in your pet are:

  1. Lack of grooming
  2. Too few or too many baths
  3. A nutritional deficiency
  4. An underlying medical condition

Read her article in full for all the details: "4 Causes of Miserably Itchy Skin – Does Your Pet Show Signs of Any of Them?"

One of the remedies Dr. Becker talks about is COCONUT OIL.  

Here at EOTL, we love our coconut oil!  We sell a high-quality, organic, raw & cold-pressed coconut oil from Wilderness Family Naturals.  Check out our website for details on this product!

Wilderness Family Naturals talks about the awesome uses of coconut oil in depth on their blog, and we just love this article, "5 Benefits of Coconut Oil for Dogs".   Keep reading below for the whole article!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

One of the beautiful things about coconut oil is its versatility.

From humans to households, there’s always a use for coconut oil!

In what other ways can we use this healthy fat? How about our furry friends? Yes!

Dogs subsist largely on a carnivorous diet, yet many also love fruits, vegetables, and other delectable treats.  Especially labradors. Anyone who has ever known a labrador knows they have hearts of gold and stomachs of steel.  So when we tested coconut oil on our beloved lab, it was easy to see he had found a new favorite treat.

Generally speaking though, I’ve yet to meet a dog that doesn’t love to lick hands clean after a slathering of coconut oil!

What Are The Benefits Of Coconut Oil For Dogs?

As far as your beloved pooch goes, coconut oil may help maintain clean teeth, shiny fur, and overall good health. It’s not a magic bullet, but it certainly can add to their overall well-being.

Coconut oil is safe to use both orally and topically and is an easy way to help build your dog’s immune system.

#1 — Lauric Acid

Coconut oil is the richest whole food source of lauric acid — a medium-chain triglyceride known for its therapeutic benefits.

Many of coconut oil’s health benefits can be attributed to its high content of lauric acid, which is known for possessing antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial qualities.

#2 — Cleaner Teeth

Coconut oil has amazing antibacterial qualities which make it a great addition to your dog’s teeth cleaning regime.

After all, no one likes smelly dog breath!

If you’re not feeding your dog raw bones or specially made dog chews to help keep their teeth clean, it’s not uncommon for harmful bacteria to build up around their teeth and gums which contributes to smelly breath and oral health problems.

This is where coconut oil can help significantly. Take an old toothbrush and simply brush their teeth with a little bit of coconut oil. Be sure to keep your dog’s toothbrush separate from the people toothbrushes!

#3 — Improved Heart Health

Supplementing your dog’s diet with a teaspoon of coconut oil can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

The saturated fat found in coconut oil has been said to help lower the risk of heart disease and raise overall heart health (source).

Simply add coconut oil to your dog’s food! Most dogs, however, will happily lick coconut oil straight off the spoon!

Start your fur baby off with just a lick and slowly increase the dosage to one teaspoon after 3 or 4 weeks. As with most things, too much too soon can upset your dog’s digestive system, and this slow increase gives their body time to adjust.

#4 — A Shiny Coat

During your dog’s next bath, mix 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in to the dog shampoo.

The coconut oil will leave your dog’s coat smooth and shiny. Who doesn’t love to bury themselves in a warm embrace when your dog has a nice clean coat? The added scent of coconut oil is a bonus!

#5 — Moisturizing Dry Skin

Coconut oil has become a popular skin and hair moisturizing treatment for humans, and your pooch can benefit just the same.

It’s simple, cost-effective, and does the job. If your dog is experiencing patches of dry skin, rub some coconut oil into the affected area. Do be careful not to use it in an area where they can easily lick it off — otherwise it may result in further irritation of the area.

All of Wilderness Family Naturals’ coconut oils can be used safely on your dog!
