Learning to dog

Sunday Morning Coffee Talk – May 3

Cedar is learning to be a dog 

Believe it or not, this is the first time in four years I’ve given him a bone to chew on. Until now, I’ve given him other chews because he has inflammatory bowel disease, but I wanted him to know the joy of mowing down on a frozen raw bone.

This week, I slowly introduced a frozen beef knuckle bone to him, allowing him to chew for just 20 minutes at a time every three or four days. He’s had some bouts of diarrhea, but overall his digestive system has managed quite well. He loves the frozen bones and I love watching his inner dog come out like a lion.

 I also love sitting outside with him early in the morning while he chews, as I’m doing now. Raw frozen bones are an excellent treat for dogs. As other natural treats, like goat milk. Beardog Cafe recently brought in raw goat milk for dogs and cats. “Known as the "universal milk" the vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, trace elements, enzymes, protein and fatty acids in raw goat milk are easily absorbed by a variety of mammals. Humanely sourced from free-range goats ethically raised without antibiotics or added hormones, Primal Raw Goat Milk is appropriate for dogs and cats at all stages of life.” -Primal Pet Foods

Feeding cats Primal Goats Milk also helps to ensure they drink adequate amounts of liquid, which is a key factor in preventing urinary tract issues.

Well, time to refill my coffee cup and resume lounging. Happy Sunday everyone!
