Most dogs are prepared for the cold sub-zero temperatures in winter. Many of our furry friends love to romp in the snow, but the cold season still poses challenges for our four-legged friends.

Cool nights, sometimes sunny days – autumn is also the most beautiful season for most dogs. You can see far away because the trees have been stripped of their leaves and, above all, the furry friends can romp around in the piles of leaves to their heart’s content. It’s not hot anymore, but not really cold either. Perfect for long walks, because every ray of sunshine strengthens the immune system of both dogs and humans. Just half an hour of enjoying the sun, fresh air and exercise contribute to a healthy immune system and keep you and your four-legged friend fit. (more…)
What were those times when at Granny or on the farm gave what was left of the food for the dogs. Whether that was good for the dogs is another matter, but compared to many industrially produced dog foods today, it was definitely better. What? Eating off the table was better than many of today’s dog foods? Yes, you’ve read that correctly! Unfortunately, over 90% of all feed is industrial feed, filled with cheap fillers, flavor enhancers, slaughterhouse waste, sugar, artificial preservatives and additives. Well, grandma at least knew exactly what was in the cooking pot and also in the dog bowl. Do you know exactly what’s in dog food? Do you understand the declarations on the label 100%? Do you even know what an industrial feed is? (more…)
Healthy skin with a shiny coat is not a matter of course for dogs, because both short-haired and long-haired dogs need regular care. Unfortunately, some dog owners still make the mistake of washing the dog’s fur with shampoos that are actually intended for humans. This can have a very negative effect on the health of the fur and the skin, because the shampoos for humans are often far too aggressive and of course don’t smell at all in the sense of the dog, which of course doesn’t make the fur nose happy. Below are a few tips for successful dog grooming.
It won’t be long before you’ll be back, the dog days. These are the hottest days in Europe. They usually last from 23.7. – 23.8.. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later. It is important for dogs not to let them out in the heat. Especially not if you take them with you in the car. An outside temperature of just 20 degrees is enough to overheat the car and possibly turn it into a deadly oven. The Dog Day is named after the constellation of the Great Dog ( canis major). It takes 30 to 31 days from the beginning of the constellation to visibility as a whole, hence the term “Days of the Big Dog”.
There are always discussions between dog owners as to whether a leash is necessary or not . But what is the dog leash actually for? For example, we take our children by the hand when there is danger or when they are restless. So you can see the leash as an extended hand for our dog to create a connection between human and dog. But you shouldn’t use them to discipline the dog or tug at it like crazy. On the other hand, of course, she’s not there to hold on to and let her dog pull her around. (more…)
Tick protection is very useful for four-legged friends. Before sucking, ticks are only a few millimeters long, but their bite can have a big impact. Now the blood-hungry parasites are particularly active. Of course, caution also applies to people, but of course also to dogs. As we know, ticks are not only annoying, but also dangerous as carriers of diseases.
Is there a difference? A dog that has spent its time in the kennel without experiencing anything, for example, comes into experienced hands. Now he “scans” everything that happens around him. He sees Mum open the door and realizes that the treats are in the basement. It looks like intelligence when he manages to open the doors with his paw to get into the basement. Like grabbing a pack, ripping it open and eating the treats. (more…)
Since travel is permitted again with certain conditions, you can go on vacation with your dog again if you want to. There are many options, especially here in Germany, hotels that allow dogs, holiday homes and resorts and many more. You can also become self-employed and go on a trip with your own or rented motorhome to start an adventure camping holiday!
Bad breath in dogs – which dog owner isn’t familiar with this? Bad breath often occurs in older dogs, but it can also be unpleasantly noticeable in younger dogs or even puppies. The breath is often described as foul, fishy, or sour. In this guide, we explain the causes and how bad breath in dogs can be sustainably and naturally combated.
It’s usually caused by bacterial cultures in the mouth and throat, which can cause unpleasant odors and even gum inflammation. However, food residue that gets stuck between the teeth or rotten teeth, which often occur with age, can also cause bad breath in dogs. Disorders in the gastrointestinal tract can also play a role. It’s important to know that in most cases, bacteria in the mouth and throat are actually the cause of unpleasant bad breath in dogs. To stop this permanently and not just mask it, the causes must be treated to restore a healthy oral flora and harmonious digestion.
Nature often offers us a wealth of options to restore our dogs’ bad breath flora. However, we should take a step back and first rule out food residue between the teeth as the cause. Consider whether you’ve changed brands of food, or whether your dog previously had no bad breath on the same brand of food. If you’ve changed food, first return to the previous food. If you’ve switched due to intolerances, please try a different food. Keep in mind that dry food isn’t necessarily the best choice. Dry food can actually be just as unhealthy as fast food for humans.
After a few days of unsuccessful attempts to combat bad breath by changing the food, we should reach into Mother Nature’s tried-and-true herbal box. A special selection of natural herbs is suitable for addressing the problem holistically. Unlike some dental sprays, drops, or dental snacks for dogs, which only mask the symptoms, these address the root cause of the problem.
What doesn’t help: People often ask whether there are any home remedies that can help. Among these tips are also “insider tips” such as vinegar essence, citric acid, or mints. However, I wonder how anyone could even consider giving these to their dog? Parsley is also often recommended. The chlorophyll and essential oils in parsley can actually mask bad breath somewhat. However, it should be noted that all these “great” tips do not help to combat the causes. It merely temporarily masks the odor.
Various herbs have long been used successfully in humans, and these can also be used in dogs.
The natural product DOG FIT by PreThis® FRESH goes one step further, combining a balanced herbal blend of 16 specially selected herbs that can soothe the gastrointestinal tract while supporting fresh breath and gum care.
