The food advisor posted a story about seasons dirt change. My diet doesn’t change much but others do. Soups to salads etc. My husband is meat and vegetables but I am vegetarian light meaning I eat fish and some meat more than I’d like to. For me it’s a medical thing. I have MS and need to eat protein more than soy.

Anyway, getting back to the dogs. Mine aren’t veggie lover’s although Rudy loves raw carrots. They exercise the same everyday. The heat effects Trixie more because she is a border collie and has all that fur.

Enjoy the article I hope you will find something interesting in it. Please let me know.

Have a great day.

Hey,

Happy Wednesday!

I don’t know what it was like where you are but June here was scorching — I believe the hottest on record — and my dog hated it. For him, anything above 50 degrees is tropical and he lets us know — his behavior changes noticeably. 

I’m convinced he thinks it’s our fault.

He does obvious things like hug the shade, lie down in cool grass, and throw himself into any accessible cold water. I’d say he probably sleeps more, too. 

(This is not my dog)

We also make changes to his life and routine. We never take him out in the midday sun, encourage him to drink more and try to keep one room in the house cool for him. 

But we don’t change his diet. He gets fed the same amount of the same food in July as he does in January. 

Which is odd, isn’t it? Because I know my diet changes with the seasons and the weather. I go from stews to salads, dark ales to pale ales. It’s the same for most people. 

It made me think: Should I be changing what or how much he eats according to the climate?

So, we spoke to our in-house nutritionist, Laura Ward, and came up with this interesting read: Should Seasons Affect Your Dog’s Diet?

(Spoiler: We included a different kind of ‘season’ in there, too.)

Have a read and let me know what you think. It’ll give me something to read while I eat ice-cream.

Until next time,
