SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - HEALTHY GUMS by Pet Wellbeing

Happy Sunday!!! I finished my first "week" of school and everything went well!

Leo has this really bad habit - the one that every food motivated dogs have - eat random foods off the ground. We'll get on that later.

However, his teeth and gums look pretty good!

(This is from Pet Wellbeing and I think it's great info)

Healthy Gums is a potent infused herbal product with added nutrients for gum and oral health: Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin C and Zinc. It does not contain alcohol or harsh ingredients that can cause further irritation of the gums!

I've been trying a new tactic because even though he is a small dog, and it's not that hard to force his mouth open, he hates it. So I've been dripping it on my fingers and swiping his gums with it. It works pretty well since he really likes the bacon flavor of it. His breath also smells great!

SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - HEALTHY GUMS by Pet Wellbeing

People don't usually associate Gum health and Heart/ cardiovascular health
(I understand, they aren't exactly the closest thing on the body)
But they are closely linked due to blood vessels.

Essentially when you have plaque on your gums, it goes into the bloodstream and just like cholesterol, it blocks the arteries.

And of course, this does not only happen to humans. Dogs and cats also have hearts, and they can also have heart diseases.
Thankfully, Leo doesn't like to eat sweets. However, the fruit and vegetables we give him still has a significant amount of sugar.

This is why I use healthy gums for his health and his breathe. When we went to the vet, she told us that his teeth is okay for now, but we need to be diligent about brushing it. I try to brush it once ever few days (it's not ideal but I'll improve)

But the gum drops only take about 1 min (if he behaves) and I find that his gums do look cleaner as well as immediately fresher breathe. Healthy gums is also completely natural with really clean ingredients so I'm really happy with it. His breath smells super nice and fresh and,
you know what, when he smiles (which he does when he is taking nap usually), it looks bright!

BULLY STICK/ TREAT REVIEW - OPEN RANGE PET TREATS (BEEF)

Just some background information. Leo is an active 8 or 9 years old chihuahua that currently weights 4kg or 8.8 pounds. This is the beef chomper, I got the 4 inch. 

Please click me to see more information on this

Open range farm is a Canadian owned company and I appreciate that their products have minimal packaging. I personally bought this bully stick from Tisol but many other pet stores carry it. 

I was looking around for a good bully stick and honestly thought this looked a little too hard. Little did I know, he devoured it in 20 minutes - the entire thing!!! I tried to take it away from him at one point and he just started to pretty much gulp it.

So in retrospect, I would recommend this as a treat (especially for medium sized and large dogs)

but for chihuahuas, I would saw it in half so he can enjoy it two times.

 However, seeing this is beef esophagus, it actually looked quite high in fat content, so I would recommend lowering his calorie intake in other foods and/or taking him on extra long walks the next few days. 

Leo gives this a 5/5  (I LOVE THIS WOULD INHALE AGAIN)

I give it a 4.5/5 because I doubt it's teeth cleaning properties and also the need to portion it out for him for next time. Would repurchase. 

We recently bought the water buffalo stick from the same company, so look out for that review soon!
