Rodrigo's 12th birthday is next month and he's doing a great job keeping up with Apollo, who is three. As a raw feeder, I've prioritized gut health with the belief that if my dogs maintain a healthy gut microbiome, they can outlive us all. With
Scout's cancer diagnosis, I also prioritize reducing inflammation.
I'm convinced that these priorities are why Rodrigo is doing so well. He's definitely slowing down, which is to be expected, but he's still living his best life. I have friends with dogs that are the same age and Rodrigo appears several years younger.
Is it diet? Is it DNA? Is it CBD oil? It's probably all three and more.
Raw Food Diet
Feeding a raw food diet supports gut health, the immune system, and helps the body fight inflammation. I switched Rodrigo to
Darwin's Pet when he was three years old and then transitioned to DIY a year later; he's thriving.
DNA
I invested in an
Embark Vet DNA test for Rodrigo to get a better idea of his breed make up and his health (hoping to get a heads up). The tests show that he's a healthy dog despite his origins (a hoarding in Oregon).
CBD Oil
I'm a huge fan of CBD Dog Health and I give this to my dogs daily. Rodrigo gets CannaPet advanced CBD oil capsules - four capsules daily - to help with inflammation and arthritis pain. It works!
I was introduced to CannaPet by my veterinarian who recommended it for Apollo to treat separation anxiety. When I saw the improvements in Apollo, I began giving it to Rodrigo along with
WINPRO Hip & Joint supplement. These keep my boy active and pain free.
