Rethinking Flea & Tick Season
🐺 The Wildside: Rethinking Flea & Tick Season As the weather warms, so does the conversation around flea and tick prevention. For years, most pet owners have been told the same thing:pick a monthly chew or topical, stay consistent, and you’re covered. But recently, the conversation has started to shift. The FDA has issued warnings about a class of flea and tick medications—commonly used products like Bravecto, Nexgard, Simparica, and Credelio—after reports of neurological side effects in pets. Symptoms being reported include: Tremors Seizures Loss of coordination Vomiting and diarrhea Lethargy These products work by using chemicals that attack...

Maybe more reactivity, maybe less patience. Not broken—just worn thin. That’s not weakness.That’s biology telling the truth. The Immune System...
❄️ Winter Wellness: Keep the Wild Thriving All Season Long
Winter changes everything—from the air our pets breathe to the energy they burn just staying warm. In the wild, colder months trigger deeper nourishment, stronger immune defenses, and more efficient movement. Our dogs and cats may live indoors, but their bodies still follow that ancient rhythm. As temperatures drop, metabolism often increases, meaning some pets naturally need a bit more fuel. This is the perfect season to lean into real, warming nutrition—like raw meaty bones, mineral-dense broths, and organ-rich meals. Our beef organ blends are the perfect calorically dense winter multivitamin—rich in amino acids, B12, and iron to help keep...
🦴 Stronger Teeth, Better Digestion, and a Calm Mind — The Case for Raw Bones
Why chewing on nature’s toothbrush still matters When it comes to feeding our dogs and cats, raw meaty bones are one of nature’s most complete and instinctive foods. They’ve been a cornerstone of the carnivore diet for millennia—providing nutrition, dental health, and mental stimulation in one simple, primal package. A Natural Source of Nutrition Australian veterinarian Dr. Ian Billinghurst, author of Give Your Dog a Bone, describes raw meaty bones as a source of essential nutrition—rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D & E), essential fats, protein, and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, copper, and iron. Bones are “beautifully balanced” in their...
