Sorry not sorry, but your dogs toilet habits will tell you A LOT about their health 💩

If your dog hasn’t had a solid poo for a longer period of time, or maybe it has undigested food in its stool, it’s time to look at what might be causing these issues❓

Loose stools can be indicative of something deeper going on within your dogs internal environment, more accurately its gut health. Just like humans, dogs also need a diverse microbiome to thrive. Without it, they become sluggish, starts to develop ‘mystery’ diseases, experience allergies or, like we’re talking about, loose stools.

Luckily, dogs are a little more straightforward than humans. Feed the diet your dog is biologically designed to consume; raw, high-protein and full of what nature intended dogs to eat - combined with a pre- and probiotic supplement, you’ll start noticing your dog’s health changing within weeks, and sometimes, even days.

Gut Soothe from @adoredbeastapothecary is a proprietary blend of pre and probiotics, and select herbs to help maintain a healthy intestinal tract, normal digestive function, proper gut flora and a healthy inflammatory response. Gut Soothe also aids in reducing occasional loose stools due to environmental stress or changes in diet 🐶

You can purchase Gut Soothe on our website - we ship all across Australia ✈️

We truly believe (and know) that healthy dogs are happy dogs 🐶

Say hello to Archie and Caroline 👋🏼 Archie is a long-term lover of @thebutchersdogau and has been thriving on a raw, high-protein diet ever since he was rescued from the shelter.

Archie has always been a bit of an anxious boy after a tumultuous start to his life but with the right training, diet and lots of love, he’s a completely different, and thriving, dog 🐶

Feeding a raw, high protein diet to dogs helps assist the microbiome and the diversity of bacteria within it; the gut-brain axis links the gut microbiome with brain function - and if well taken care of - results in balanced hormones and a much calmer, healthier dog 🐕

If your furry friend is struggling with anxiety, restlessness or obedience training, feeding a raw diet full of nutrients and vitamins, could positively affect your dogs behaviour 🍖

Dog “allergies” often surge in springtime, but can be caused by a number of underlying issues that are actually present all year round.

An inflammatory diet, such as a high-carb, processed diet, is a common cause of an itchy dog, regardless of the time of year, and is often mistaken for a food allergy. Dr Conor Brady shares in his Feeding Dogs book:

“A food allergy is rare (1-3% of the dog population), although today it feels like every second dog has a food allergy. Meanwhile an inflammatory diet can burden your dog’s immune and digestive system over time, presenting in a number of ways that get interpreted as food allergies, i.e inflamed paws and paw licking, persistent digestive upset, rashes and constant scratching, gunky eyes and irritated ears.”

Dogs have very little biological need for carbohydrates; constantly feeding a high carb diet strains your dog’s digestive system and organs such as the pancreas.

Meanwhile raw protein is easily digested and contains living enzymes essential for digestion.
