🐕 Steady blood sugar, happy dog

Hello Reader,

If your dog has diabetes, you already know the drill: meals on a schedule, insulin on time, and a dog who's convinced every one of those rules was made just to ruin his day. The begging doesn't stop just because the vet said no more table scraps.

This week's main feature is for you. It's a step-by-step guide on what to feed a senior dog with diabetes, so his blood sugar stays steady and his bowl still feels like a treat. And if your dog doesn't have diabetes, it's still worth a read. A lot of what helps these dogs is simply good senior nutrition.

Dogs Follow Human Pointing Gestures Across 5 Continents. Culture Has Nothing to Do With It.

Your dog likely glances toward whatever you're pointing at, almost like it just makes sense to them. It turns out there's a fascinating reason why that happens across every corner of the world, and it has nothing to do with training or where your dog grew up.

❤️ Why I love this recipe...

❝The double use of peanut butter powder, both in the batter and worked into the frosting, gives this recipe a consistent flavour through every layer without relying on added sugar. Dog parents must check that the peanut butter is completely free of xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs even in small amounts, and that the cream cheese is used sparingly since dairy can upset some dogs' digestion. ❞
