FDA ADVISORY: The U.S. FDA is cautioning pet owners that eight samples of Raaw Energy dog food have tested positive for one or more types of pathogenic (harmful) bacteria, specifically: Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), Salmonella, and Campylobacter jejuni. One sample also contained Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157 bacteria, which may be harmful.

Raaw Energy dog food is ordered via the firm’s website and picked up in person by customers. The products are packaged in either 2-pound or 5-pound clear plastic tubes sealed on each end with a metal clip. Products are sold frozen in brown cardboard boxes containing 10 clear plastic tubes. The cardboard boxes have white stick-on labels identifying the product flavor, ingredients, and date code.

Because Raaw Energy products aren’t labeled with lot codes, different batches of product are distinguishable by a date code (date of manufacture) printed on white stickers on both the individual plastic tubes and the brown cardboard box. MORE: https://bit.ly/4qGLcGA

❄️ Winter Storm Advisory: Protect Your Pets ❄️

A winter storm is approaching, and while we prepare our homes and families, it’s just as important to prepare our pets. Cold temperatures, snow, ice, and power outages can be dangerous for animals!

Graduation Day! Pumpkin and her amazing foster owner have officially graduated—and we couldn’t be prouder! 💛
When Pumpkin first came to us, she had fractures in both hind legs, leaving her unable to bend her stifles (knees). Through dedicated rehabilitation, consistency, and an incredible home program, Pumpkin has made an outstanding recovery. Today, she’s doing all the things a puppy should be doing—moving, playing, and living her best puppy life! 🐶✨

Congratulations to Pumpkin and her foster family on this huge milestone. Hard work truly pays off! 💪🐾

Seeing Your Dog’s Health in a Whole New Light using thermal imaging!

This smart technology lets us see beneath the surface by picking up changes in heat that can reveal areas of inflammation, poor circulation, or underlying injury. It is a safe, non-invasive way to spot problems early and guide the very best care for your dogs 🔥📷

Why is thermal imaging important?
🐾 Detects hot spots and pain points that may indicate discomfort or injury
🐾 Early identification of joint issues, muscle strains, or arthritis for proactive care
🐾 Non-invasive and stress-free for your pet
🐾 Provides clear, visual insights into your dog’s health with no guesswork

Thermal imaging is a powerful tool to ensure our dogs are feeling their best and staying pain-free.

Cooper, is using the back on track blanket and feeling great!

This product is designed to alleviate pain and inflammation, making it perfect for post-exercise recovery, osteoarthritis, and back or joint injuries. It features ceramic-infused fabric that radiates heat back to your body, enhancing blood circulation in the tissues.

This boost in circulation helps relieve muscle tension and supports improved performance and faster recover!

🐾 What Is The Assisi Loop?

The Assisi Loop is a non-invasive healing device that uses targeted pulsed
electromagnetic field therapy to help reduce inflammation and support the
body’s natural recovery process.

How it helps:
⭐ Reduces pain and inflammation
⭐ Supports recovery from injuries or surgery
⭐ Helps manage chronic conditions like arthritis
⭐ Encourages healthy circulation and tissue repair
One of the big benefits of the Assisi Loop is that it allows dogs to relax while
receiving treatment.

🐾 How Physiotherapy Can Help Pets with Arthritis 🐾

🦴 Pain relief: Gentle massage and targeted exercises improve circulation and ease stiffness.
🐕 Improved mobility: Stretching and range-of-motion exercises help your pet move more comfortably.
