Part 1: A Comprehensive Comparison Chart on Insurance for Your Dog or Cat

In our first video, we discussed some of the differences between the 2 most popular DNA Testing kits for Dogs, Embark Vet, and Wisdom Panel. We went with Embark for our rescue dog Paddington because we were also interested in if he was predisposed to certain diseases based on genetic markers, and Wisdom Panel does not test for these. Watch the video to see what we learned and see if it might be for you! Part 3 will be our test with Wisdom Panel!

Anxiety is a common problem pets face and canine anxiety is the #1 behavioral problem in dogs. If not handled properly, it can continue to be a burden for both of you. Instead of accepting that your pet is this way, we spoke to Dr. Gabby Pagana, DVM, CVA, an integrative veterinarian based in Los Angeles to find out how looking at the whole pet and using a multimodal approach can make a bigger difference, than a one-sided approach. It requires you to take a deeper look at your pet's lifestyle, diet, mental health, and dig into the root of the problem. 

As our pets continue to get more humanistic diseases and we learn more about how much diet plays a role in that, pet parents are trending towards more "real food" for their pets. Whether it is a fresh cooked diet, dehydrated raw, or species-appropriate raw, there are many more options readily available now.

One survey showed that over 60% of pet owners look into a healthier diet for their pet only after they get sick. It's time to change that and try to incorporate a more well-rounded, fresh, and balanced diet for prevention instead.

Many dog treats on the market are labeled with having turmeric or curcumin in them. The problem is they either don't contain enough for therapeutic benefits or are missing one of the other additional ingredients to make your dog absorb it properly. It is important to read ingredient labels or to make your own golden turmeric paste when you are seeking the most therapeutic benefits for your dog.
