Dog Health News

For many dog owners, travelling with their dogs brings both excitement and apprehension. Whilst we eagerly anticipate exploring new places with our dogs, travel can wreak havoc on canine digestive systems.

As temperature rises during summer months, dog owners often notice changes in their pets' behaviour and health. While panting and lethargy are recognisable signs of heat stress, fewer pet parents are aware that hot weather can significantly impact canine digestive health.

Loss of appetite in dogs represents one of the most common yet concerning symptoms that prompt veterinary consultations across the United Kingdom.

Recent scientific research has shed light on a fundamental canine behaviour that many dog owners might take for granted: chewing.

As responsible pet owners, ensuring the health and wellbeing of our dogs stands paramount amongst our duties. Whilst dogs have evolved alongside humans for millennia, their digestive systems and metabolic processes differ significantly from our own.

We often want to share our food with our dogs. While commercial dog food provides complete nutrition, there are many human foods that can be safely incorporated into your dog's diet as occasional treats or supplements.

The growing awareness of gut health's importance has led many pet owners to turn to supplements for their dogs. However, recent research suggests we need to be more thoughtful about our approach to canine gut health solutions. Rather than automatically reaching for probiotics, there may be better options available that work with your dog's natural digestive system.

Recent research has highlighted the crucial relationship between gut health and immune function in dogs. The gastrointestinal microbiome plays a fundamental role in supporting immune system development and regulation. Understanding how to maintain and optimise gut bacterial balance could provide valuable approaches for enhancing canine health and immunity.

For years, pet owners have turned to probiotic supplements as the go-to solution for their dogs' digestive health. However, recent research suggests that this approach might be overly simplistic. A recent study published in the Journal of Modern Agriculture and Biotechnology reveals that supporting your dog's existing gut bacteria through anabiomics, rather than introducing new strains, could be far more effective.
