Do the Math Monday
A little offering from me (and this may well be the shortest blog entry ever, in the history of The Possible Canine) over at the Facebook Page (which you can access here): https://www.facebook.com/ThePossibleCanine/ What we'll do, every Monday, is look at nutrient...
Five Things Friday
This new feature will consist of five random things I want to share with readers, every Friday. They might pertain to a specific nutrient, to a food, a health condition, an individual herb, a method of herbal preparation, or even a quick recipe. I've been inspired to...
Meat Loaf for Dogs! One recipe, many variations
As promised; a fun, easy and healthy treat for dogs, with some serious benefits, and a few variations so you can make it to suit your own dog's unique tendencies. I made this for my three, not as a meal (it's not a balanced diet!) but to use as topper for some of...
One last Freezie – Omega3s, Antioxidants, Probiotics…
...and that's just the start. This very simple, but powerfully nutritious frozen treat can be used in a couple of ways, so again, I am hoping to give you options. It can be very nutrient-dense, all on its own, or diluted with some liquid (bone broth is good, but you...
Frozen Dog Treats Part Two – Savoury!
So, it's the weekend and I am having a little fun with recipes - a thread on my Facebook group convinced me to develop more frozen treats for the warm summer months, and since not all dogs love fruit, I thought I'd do a few savoury, but still very healthy versions....
Frozen Herbal Dog Treats – Part One
Every summer, a few frozen treat recipes start to appear around the internet, usually yogurt based, with additions like sardines and salmon and blueberries - all good stuff. I started to wonder if I might not concoct a few such treats myself, maybe with a twist...
Three Old Dogs
So, last week on my Facebook Page, I asked readers a simple question: who here has a senior dog? And the response was overwhelming. I suspect that thread might just be the liveliest one in the history of my Page. Seems a lot of people have senior dogs, and are...

Hello, all! I am posting today to share a flash sale with my readers - I generally try to do two sales per year, one approximately around each of the Solstices. A bit late this summer, but here we go. From today until Friday June 30, the following (major) discounts...
Canine Cancer – a few thoughts on diet
This morning I made a comment - accidentally - on a post I saw on Facebook, sharing a highly sensational trailer regarding the power of nutrition with canine cancer. (When I say "accidentally" I mean I thought my comment was on a Friend's post, but it was actually on...
Ten Herbs series: expanding the familiar
Those of you who follow my Page on Facebook might've seen today, my post about finding the herbal solution for my dog Amara's rather challenging issue - and finding it by using one herb , which I had selected as a test, a diagnostic, but that turned out to be all we...
Yeasty dog? It may not be the carbs
This morning I am compelled, finally, to get this brief but important article up for all those who are dealing with yeast infections in their dogs. On my Facebook group and elsewhere around the net, I frequently hear about people struggling with yeast infections in...
Beautiful Dandelion – for you and your dog
Spring is dandelion time! While I use dried root and tincture in my clinical practise all year long, there is just nothing like the fresh, whole plant - flowers like bursts of sunshine, young leaves not yet too bitter - to inspire creativity and get us all out into...

Energetics 101
This is one of those "by request" posts - since the whole topic of energetics has been tossed around so much lately in the natural health world, and there is a bit of popular confusion, I hope to be able to help sort some of it out. Plus, it's a favorite topic of...

Adaptogens for Dogs – an introduction and recipe
Last week on my Page (Facebook) I had promised a couple of new recipes, and then alas, life, work and all that jazz simply got in the way. So I promised to share a recipe, an existing one from my (hopefully) forthcoming ebooklet...this is one I make and use with my...
Choosing a Pet-sitter – Things to Consider
There are times when you aren’t able to take your dog or dogs away with you when you travel. And when you aren’t you will certainly want someone who is qualified to take care of your pet while you’re away. So with that in mind, here are some things that you need to...
Spicy Chaga-pumpkin cookies
Yesterday, in the spirit of all the cool recipes I plan to share in the tutorial, I whipped up a batch of a fall favorite here - spicy chaga-pumpkin cookies, with a little extra immune boosting kick thrown in as we head into the colder weather. These cookies, like...
On being an herbalist; here’s the secret
Today is a typical weekday here at my house- parrot is screaming, three senior dogs snoring away after breakfast, exercise and playtime; cats - well, all cats sleeping as they all do every day. I'm at my desk, working with clients, answering emails, getting some class...
