How Much Does Professional Teeth Cleaning for Dogs Cost?

April 14, 2023

Dogs, just like humans, need professional teeth cleanings. While ongoing at-home canine tooth care is important, having a vet professional clean your pup's teeth once a year is crucial.

Without professional cleanings, your dog may experience bad breath, inflamed gums, periodontal (gum) disease, or even tooth loss. In addition, periodontal disease can cause chronic pain, receding gums, bone loss, and heart diseases like endocarditis (a potentially fatal bacterial or fungal infection of the heart's chambers and values). This can have very serious consequences for your dog's overall health, as poor dental hygiene can make it difficult for your dog to eat.  

In this DJANGO Dog Blog article, we highlight why dogs need professional teeth cleanings throughout their life, what actually happens during teeth cleaning, and discuss the cost of dog teeth cleanings.

How Do I Choose the Best Dog Backpack Carrier?

February 27, 2023

Dog backpack carriers have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. These pet carriers are incredibly functional and useful in countless settings. Do you love hiking, strolling, or shopping around town with your dog? Do you live in a city, take public transportation, or commute with your pup? Do you have a senior dog with arthritis, a puppy that has not been vaccinated, or a dog recovering from surgery like our dachshund, Django?

How to Choose the Best Dog Harness for Your Dachshund

January 18, 2023 2 Comments

Dachshunds are a small, stubborn, loyal, and adventurous dog breed. Mike and I (Steph) know from experience. We're the proud dog parents of Django, our 7-year old long-haired dachshund and adventure pup. Django has been all over the United States and Europe with us, and we even named our dog accessories and dog apparel business, DJANGO, after him!

Despite being one of the most popular small dog breeds, dachshunds are often difficult to outfit. It can be challenging to find a dog harness that comfortably and securely fits your wiener dog's broad chest, muscular build, and long frame.

Tumble washable rugs review #2!

It's been over six months since we wrote our first review of Tumble rugs. Since then, our Tumble rugs have been through a lot. We have a rambunctious toddler who is almost 4 years old, a 10 month old baby who is learning he can throw spaghetti, and a low-riding long-haired dachshund who tracks in dirt, mud, and debris after every walk. Our Tumble rugs have seen milk and OJ spills, marker and crayon stains, dirt streaks, marinara splotches, endless dog hair...you name it.

We have 7 Tumble area rugs and runners throughout our home. Based on the location, each of our Tumble rug sees different levels of foot traffic, spills, dirt marks, and dog hair.

In this DJANGO Dog Blog article, we provide an updated overview and review of Tumble rugs based on our family's personal and extensive experience with the machine washable rugs.

How to Find the Best Harness for Your French Bulldog

How to Find the Best Walking Harness for Your French Bulldog

December 14, 2022

Frenchies are bright, playful, and adaptable, so it is not surprising they are America's second favorite dog breed.

Despite the breed’s popularity, it is hard to find a dog harness that fits the French bulldog's unique shape. With a barrel chest, square-shaped head, large bat ears, and flat face, many dog harnesses are too tight around the neck or chest. Others are too loose and allow your Frenchie to slip free.

In this DJANGO Dog Blog article, we discuss how much exercise your French bulldog needs. We also examine what features to look for when buying a harness for your Frenchie.

DJANGO Dog Blog: Are fermented foods good for my dog? A Q&A with Dr. Billinghurst and Rob Ryan, the founder of GussysGut.com

Gussy's Gut Q&A: Are fermented foods good for my dog?

November 28, 2022

What is been missing from dog diets ever since we started feeding them processed pet foods? Naturally occurring probiotics from whole foods, says Dr. Ian Billinghurst, the father of biologically appropriate, ancestral nutrition for dogs. Thirty years ago, he taught us about the evolutionary diet for dogs with his book, Give Your Dog a Bone. He also famously coined the term “BARF” (Biologically Appropriate RAW Food).

In this DJANGO Dog Blog article, we host Dr. Billinghurst and Rob Ryan, the founder of GussysGut.com for a conversation on good bacteria. Dr. Billinghurst and Rob Ryan also address why relying on probiotic supplements may not be the best long-term answer for our pups.

Gussy’s Gut: Fermented Superfood that Promotes Dog Gut Health - DJANGO Dog Blog

Gussy’s Gut: Promoting Dog Gut Health with Fermented Foods and the Superfood Topper

November 16, 2022 5 Comments

While interviewing Dr. Ian Billinghurst, the father of the raw dog food movement, we discovered he is the senior advisor to Gussy's Gut. Dr. Billinghurst came out of retirement to create the dog supplement company which produces a fermented and probiotic rich dog superfood topper called “Daily”.  He’s called the product “the single most important upgrade to canine nutrition in over 25 years.”

They source the highest quality and most responsibly-sourced organic ingredients. The supplement is made from 19  superfoods that come from biodynamic, grass-fed, organic, and regenerative farms.

Unlike raw vegetables, fermented foods like Gussy's Gut are easier for dogs to digest and their nutrients are more accessible to them. Studies show that dogs regularly given fermented foods often have fewer allergies, better blood sugar levels, and healthier stools.

If you are considering adding a high-quality dog food topper to your pup's diet, or if you simply want to better understand the canine health benefits of fermented foods, this DJANGO Dog Blog article is for you. Here is our comprehensive overview of Gussy's Gut, the freeze-dried, probiotic rich dog food topper.
