Whether or not your dog is a picky drinker, hot summer days can lead to dehydration if your dog is not getting enough liquid into his diet. There are many sites that provide tricks to get more liquid into your dog’s diet and all of them are great ideas. We however have one trick that works for Oz on hot summer days – <b>adding Clear Conscience Pet SuperGravy in his water and/or food</b>.</div>

<a href="http://clearconsciencepet.com/supergravy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clear Conscience Pet SuperGravy</a> is a holistic gravy mix for dogs which is enhanced with digestive enzymes and probiotics for better digestion.

SuperGravy is now formulated to make a delicious, hydrating broth which is great to help dogs beat the summer heat. Simply add five scoops (a measured scoop is included in every package) to a 1 liter or 1 quart jug, shake well and your broth is made.

For many pet parents, summer is travel season and nearly 40 percent will include their pets in their travel plans. Unfortunately, by the time summer arrives in Florida, our travel season with Oz is pretty much over. Since we enjoy outdoor adventures, we keep our pet travel season to the cooler months between October and April to avoid heat-related injury to ourselves and Oz.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, we always hope our off-season travels inspire others to get-up-and-go with their pets when their adventure travel season arrives. As raw feeders, we are often asked how we travel with Oz’s food especially when we go on trips that do not allow for proper refrigeration. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
To travel with a raw fed dog, you just need to pack freeze-dried raw food like <a href="https://www.stellaandchewys.com/dog-food/freeze-dried-raw-dinners" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stella & Chewy’s Dinner Patties</a> or <a href="https://www.stellaandchewys.com/dog-food/freeze-dried-raw-meal-mixers" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Meal Mixers</a>. <b>For dog-friendly travel and adventures, freeze-dried raw dog food is as easy as 1-2-3… </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1. Freeze-dried is lightweight.</b> One thing we learned over all our travels, you can over pack for your pet as much as you can for yourself and no one enjoys carrying heavy bags. Packing freeze-dried food for Oz keeps his bag much lighter and easier to tote around a hotel or a campsite.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2. Freeze-dried is shelf stable.</b> Since freeze-dried does not need to be kept refrigerated or frozen like fresh meat, it is great for all travel – hotel stays, camping, and long road trips.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>3. Freeze-dried feeds well.</b> Stella & Chewy’s freeze-dried raw dinners provide 100% balanced nutrition for dogs. Preparation is quick and easy with the addition of a small amount of water. Freeze-dried raw can also help whet a picky dog’s appetite while on an adventure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
We look forward to seeing all your summer pet travel adventures as we hunker down in the air conditioning for the season. Will you be packing some freeze-dried raw food to keep your bags light and your dog happy?</div>

Iceland is known for their rich stocks of fish and the Icelandic man’s best friend, or Hundur, has enjoyed his/her share of this nutritious bounty as well.

June is <a href="https://www.ready.gov/animals" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Pet Preparedness Month</a> which just happens to coincide with the start of hurricane season here in the southeast. Since hurricanes, and other natural disasters, can strike at any time it is very important for you and your pets to be prepared.</div>

Our first hurricane season with Oz was in 2005. It was the most active Atlantic hurricane season recorded with five of the season’s seven major hurricanes making landfall – Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Of those storms, Wilma was the hurricane that had the biggest impact and caused the most damage in our area. It was after Wilma passed, and we were without power for one week, that I learned the importance of being prepared.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4.</b> Make a safe space in a crate or carrier for your pet to ride out the storm. Pets can sense severe weather changes and they will often hide. It’s best to create a secure space so you know where they are in case of evacuation.</div>

<b>6</b>. If evacuation is necessary, do not leave your pets behind and be sure to secure them in the car!

For the last two weeks, we have been treating Oz for secondary bacterial and fungal infections related to his allergies. We are happy to report that he is feeling and acting like his old self again.</div>

The vet prescribed both antibiotic and antifungal medication to get Oz well again. Thankfully, he did not need to be on any steroid medication to reduce swelling or itching. The round of antibiotic will be completed soon but he needs to stay on the antifungal a bit longer, as fungal infections can be sneaky and pop back up again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
We hate to have Oz on so much medication but for this illness we really had no choice since he had infections in both ears and on other areas of his body. I have been researching to find a way to build up his immune system in hopes of minimizing future allergic reactions and much of my reading has been on herbal medicine/supplements.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So much of how we look at disease and illness in Western culture is in isolation from the rest of the body with the goal being a cure to remove or suppress the symptoms. That is definitely what the new CADI injection does for a dog’s allergies – it just blocks the itch so a dog won’t scratch but does nothing about treating the actual allergy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other paw, Eastern medicine looks at the body as a whole in order to determine the deeper underlying cause of a disease or illness. It then uses herbs to strengthen and boost the body’s systems to help it heal itself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Since Oz is still on medication, I thought it may not hurt to start adding an herbal supplement to his diet. I wanted the supplement to include herbs that can help with allergies and building up his immune system, herbs like:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Astragalus</b> – <i>one of the most popular herbs in the traditional Chinese medicine system that is used to treat upper respiratory infections as well as to increase energy and strengthen the immune system;</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Echinacea </b>– <i>another herb popular for treating colds and flu but that is also considered a great immune system booster;</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Fo-Ti </b>– <i>also known as He Shou Wu, has historically been used to treat eczema, better known as atopic dermatitis which is part of Oz’s allergy; and</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Licorice Root</b> – <i>an herb that has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties which has been used to treat hay fever and other allergic responses.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are so many herbs and many are used for several different things, it all seemed so overwhelming. In my research, I finally did find an herbal supplement that included the above herbs (plus even more beneficial herbs) from a brand I trust. We have started Oz on <a href="https://www.drharveys.com/products/dogs/161-emune-boost-herbal-supplement-for-dogs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dr. Harvey’s E-Mune Boost</a> once a day as an additive to his food.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Will the herbal supplements help boost Oz’s immune system so his body has less of a reaction to allergens? I don’t know but for this dog mom it is worth a try.</b></div>
</div>

Oz is posing with a memorial flag - a flag that is folded upon the death of an active duty soldier as well as an honorably discharged veteran. The U.S. memorial flag is folded 13 times in honor of the first 13 colonies and when finished, only the field of blue stars is visible.<br />
<br />
The field of blue stars is to signify our country's motto "In God We Trust". We like to think that the field of blue stars is a reminder that the soldier has gone to heaven.<br />
<br />
As you finish your Memorial Day weekend celebrations today, please take a moment to thank all those who have gone before us and who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Freedom is never free!<br />

He has spent a lot of his days resting in his various beds around the house but has taken a special liking to his <a href="http://www.oztheterrier.com/2016/09/senior-dog-comfort-trustypup-remedy.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TrustyPup Remedy Rest dog bed</a> since it allows him to bury himself in plush comfort.<br />

<br />
About a month ago, our vet recommended trying a new allergy medication which is a monthly injection. It is called CADI - <a href="https://www.zoetisus.com/products/dogs/cytopoint/index.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic</a> and it is supposed to bind with a specific protein in dogs with atopic dermatitis and neutralize it.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
When Oz first received the injection about a month ago, he tolerated it well. I was worried about side effects but my research continues to bring up that there are no known side effects from CADI. I observed the hives on his skin dry up and he stopped scratching at himself. All was going well.<br />
<br />
Now, a month later, he is still not itching and scratching but both ears have a pretty substantial fungal infection. According to the vet, his recurrent ear infections of the past were related to his allergies so I can only assume the current infections are allergy-related as well.<br />
<br />
I can't say that I am not a little disappointed as I thought the CADI might help his ears too. Oz has not been himself the last couple of days - he has been very mopey and rests a lot. We are visiting the vet later today to get some care for his ears.<br />
<br />
Once his ears clear up, I am going to start using the "Purple Stuff", talked about by our friends at <a href="http://www.mkclinton.com/2017/01/how-to-prevent-ear-infections-in-your.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Barking from the Bayou</a> and <a href="http://mygbgvlife.com/2016/02/01/prevent-ear-infections-in-dogs/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">My GBGV Life</a>, to keep his ears clean. I meant to try it a long time ago but never could find the necessary ingredients at my local drug stores. Thankfully, all can be found on Amazon and I already placed my order. I will let you know if the "Purple Stuff" works.<br />
<br />
For now, I hope our vet visit today will help resolve his current ear infections so Oz feels better.<br />

Oz kicked-off Small Business Week with a visit to our local pet store. Whenever we need food for Oz, we shop at two small, local pet stores since the big box stores by us do not sell raw food brands. </div>

What we love about shopping small is that we can score big! The staff has gotten to know us well and they try really hard to stock the brands and recipes we buy.

When we first started shopping for raw food at both of these small stores, they carried mostly chicken, turkey and beef. Since Oz is allergic to poultry, it was difficult for me to rotate proteins. Then one day, I just asked about the limited choices of proteins and the staff said they would be happy to order unique proteins if they knew customers like me would purchase them.</div>

It’s National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, a day to raise awareness for pets in need of loving forever homes. In honor of shelter pets everywhere, we want to share this amazing story and video:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
YouTube has partnered with chart-topping “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiQIc7fG9pA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">i hate u, i love u</a>” singer-songwriter <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZGHYE5T-1Q4AVq3lu5V0yQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">gnash</a> and Best Friends Animal Society’s NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles) Pet Adoption Center to produce a short documentary video titled “<b>gnash’s pet project – making music for dogs</b>”. The video follows gnash on his journey to learn about psychoacoustic therapy for animals (how animals perceive and respond to speech and music) so he can help his rescue dog Daisy overcome anxiety and depression.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The result is gnash’s ‘song for Daisy’ which instantly calmed Daisy down when she heard it. Amazingly, gnash then took the song to <a href="http://www.nkla.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">No-Kill Los Angeles</a> to see if his music would also help alleviate stress and anxiety in shelter pets and it worked. The dogs were calmed almost immediately.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You have to see it to believe it. It is truly extraordinary and moving to see Daisy and the shelter dogs’ reactions to the beautiful music. This video is a must-see for dog lovers everywhere so please watch and share it.</div>

Yesterday, Oz went to the vet for his six month senior dog check up. Though we are waiting for his geriatric blood work results, our vet continues to say how healthy Oz is for a senior dog. It hasn’t been easy adjusting to the senior years – though the puppy years weren’t a walk in the park either! Here are 7 tips on how we keep Oz safe and healthy now and for years to come.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>1. GO TO SENIOR DOG HEALTH CHECK-UPS</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We make sure Oz has regular visits with our veterinarian. In fact, Oz is examined twice a year just in case a serious health issue arises. While this can be more expensive, we feel it is worth it to catch health issues before they get out of control.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT DIET FOR YOUR DOG</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As dogs age, their dietary requirements can change. If your dog is less active, they may need a diet better suited to that. As a raw fed dog, we have noticed that at times Oz needs additional fruits and/or vegetables added to his protein – like pumpkin when his old man belly isn’t feeling well. You should always talk to your veterinarian to find the right diet for your senior dog.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGUE6iy8rUCWjaRQawsB5nTDJlSTY8bkVEoeGAJTb5j9hTJhjp2kpvn1MxyMFUO95KG_jJ2m0jWmm7zsovnl9KWZ2D-UjPbhc3toYXoTDVSkfTwlvPwTKdqFB0ReSBCVCksbuoKTNVV6y9/s1600/oz-superblends-blog-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Oz tip 2 keep senior dog healthy choose right food" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGUE6iy8rUCWjaRQawsB5nTDJlSTY8bkVEoeGAJTb5j9hTJhjp2kpvn1MxyMFUO95KG_jJ2m0jWmm7zsovnl9KWZ2D-UjPbhc3toYXoTDVSkfTwlvPwTKdqFB0ReSBCVCksbuoKTNVV6y9/s1600/oz-superblends-blog-01.jpg" title="Oz tip 2 keep senior dog healthy choose right food" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>3. MAKE SURE YOUR DOG WEARS A COLLAR</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We hate to admit it, but there are times when Oz is confused when we go for a walk especially in the early morning or late at night. With his worsening vision our fear is that somehow he will break free from us and get lost because he cannot remember how to get back home. Please make sure your senior dog wears a collar with your contact information so someone can help him/her find the way home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4. CONTINUE TO TEACH SOMETHING NEW </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s especially important to keep older dogs engaged in learning to fight boredom and help to decrease brain aging. Puzzle feeders that provide a food/treat reward are great for stimulating and exercising a dog’s brain. Oz plays with his puzzle feeders, <a href="http://www.oztheterrier.com/2016/05/buster-activitymat-keep-senior-dog-mind-healthy.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">his activity mat</a> or <a href="http://www.oztheterrier.com/2017/04/fun-dog-mealtime-paw5-wooly-mat.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">his snuffle mat</a> daily to keep his mind sharp.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>5. MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOUR DOG TO GET AROUND</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Be aware that your senior dog may have pain or other health issues that make it difficult for him to get around so providing ramps or stairs to allow your senior dog access to furniture or beds can be helpful. For a senior like Oz who is losing his vision, be sure to keep known walking areas free of clutter or new objects so your dog can continue to find his/her way around the house.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>6. SECURE YOUR DOG WHEN TRAVELING IN THE CAR</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did you know most car accidents happen close to home not on long road trips? Research suggests it is because we feel more relaxed when we are driving in our own neighborhoods and our brain’s are more likely to go on “auto-pilot”. No matter where we go, even around the corner and down the street to the vet’s office (like yesterday) Oz is always secured with a car pet safety restraint. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Oz wears <a href="http://bit.ly/OzSleepypod" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sleepypod</a>’s Clickit Sport dog safety harness. The loop design and padded vest are engineered to work together to distribute and reduce damaging forces in an accident and also make it comfortable for Oz to wear on short and long road trips. The <a href="http://sleepypod.com/clickit-sport" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sleepypod Clickit Sport</a> can also be used as a walking harness so on some occasions we leave it on for a walk or visit.</i></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>7. PROVIDE THE RIGHT BED</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or should I say “beds” because Oz has five beds strategically placed around the house?!? We have converted most of Oz’s beds to orthopedic beds that provide better support for aging joints and muscles.</div>

<br />
First, I am sharing one of our favorite bouquets we ever received. They came from our friend Princess Rosy Rue from <a href="http://www.rosyreports.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rosy Reports</a>. It is one of our favorites because we love all the colors in the bouquet!<br />

Now, here in South Florida we haven't had much rain so many of our flowers are looking sickly or are just not blooming yet. However, our bougainvillea are always in bloom! We have two colors - purple and pink.<br />
<br />

<br />
Our ground orchid (we do not know what kind of orchid it is - if you know, tell us in the comments) is always in bloom too. It is hard to tell from the photo but it reminds us of the color of fire because it has bright orange and yellow.<br />

<br />
Then, in our front yard, we have our Hibiscus trees. The trees are very spindly but they always have pretty flowers on them too.<br />
<br />

I hope Angel Dory and her family enjoy our South Florida flowers. We are moving into Summer which means these, along with a few other flowers, will grow and bloom. The flowers you all plant in the Spring and Summer we must plant in the Fall and Winter due to the extreme heat.<br />

Since Oz is a Cover Dog, gracing the new packaging of Clear Conscience Pet’s Lamb Trachey Chewz, we decided to help work at the booth during Global Pet Expo back in March. Oz tried to use his celebrity and his cuteness (that is, when he wasn’t overtired and cranky) to lure people into the booth to learn about their line of products. And for the most part, it worked!</div>

While Oz loves the Lamb Trachey Chewz treats, he is also very fond of <a href="http://clearconsciencepet.com/supergravy/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clear Conscience Pet’s signature product SuperGravy</a>. SuperGravy is an instant pet food topper that when mixed with water can be added as a topper to kibble or used to rehydrate freeze-dried raw pet food. <b>It is a great addition to food for picky eaters and it also makes for a great rehydrating broth to drink on hot days</b>.</div>

At the Expo, Clear Conscience Pet was launching their new packaging as well as the next generation of SuperGravy. What could possibly be new with SuperGravy? Well, for starters it now comes in three flavors: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li><b>the original PawJus Brown Gravy & Broth Mix</b> crafted from Beef Liver, Veggies & Whole Superfoods,</li>
<li><b>NEW Arfredo White Gravy & Broth Mix </b>crafted from Greek Yogurt, 3 Cheeses & Whole Superfoods, and</li>
<li><b>NEW Barkinara Red Gravy & Broth Mix</b> crafted from Tomato, Chicken Liver & Whole Superfoods.</li>
</ol>
All three SuperGravy recipes are enhanced with digestive enzymes and probiotics to help your pet maintain a healthy digestive tract. All three recipes also include Superfoods like Chia Seed and Sea Kelp.<br />

We always give Oz SuperGravy with his breakfast, either to rehydrate his freeze-dried raw food or as a gravy over his fresh meat. But we really love using SuperGravy as a broth for Oz to drink when it is super hot outside. It is great way to get him to rehydrate even when he feels too hot to drink.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At Global Pet Expo, Oz demonstrated using SuperGravy as a rehydrating broth with Clear Conscience Pet co-owner Anthony. You can see the demonstration and how much Oz loves to drink SuperGravy in our video.<br />
