8 Proteins Your Senior Dog Should Be Eating Right Now

Hello Reader,

Hello, wonderful Gray Muzzle family!
Grab a coffee and settle in. And maybe keep a treat handy, because your dog will show up the second you sit down.

Today's science piece made me laugh. Researchers found that dogs can tell the difference between our happy faces and our scared ones. So when you try to look calm while your dog is halfway through your sandwich, he knows.

There's also a recipe for low-carb chicken biscuits in here, so at least this time the snack is his. Find a comfy spot, if your dog left you one, and enjoy.

❤️ Why I love this recipe...

❝Coconut flour doing double duty as both binder and a genuinely low-carb base makes this recipe stand out from the usual oat-heavy biscuit. Dog parents should know that parsley is safe in small amounts but should never be confused with parsley root, which is not recommended for dogs, so stick with the flat-leaf or curly variety and use the measured quantity called for. ❞
