I hope you and your dogs are having a fantastic, dog-ilicious summer!
Pax and I have been enjoying as many lake swims as possible, usually hiking up early to avoid the crowds and keeping cool walking in the shaded forest trails — even when it comes with a few bumps and bruises along the way. (More on that below )
Before we dive into this month’s updates, I want to spotlight a product that’s become a true cornerstone in Pax’s health routine — and one I take myself, too.
Is your dog getting FAKE-TAMINS?
Most vitamin supplements on the market are synthetic, which is a problem.
They are poorly absorbed, hard on the stomach and gut, and the body doesn’t know what to do with these FAKE-TAMINS.
I learned this a long time ago in practice. Dogs don’t tolerate fake-tamins very well, and my stomach would often get upset after taking multivitamins.
But when I discovered the two-stage fermentation process, the problem was solved and SoulFood was born!
Research confirms that fermentation makes nutrients:
-
- 7–10x more bioavailable
- Easier to digest (even on sensitive stomachs)
- Richer in enzymes, antioxidants and postbiotics
- More powerful at reducing inflammation (fermented turmeric has outperformed ibuprofen in studies!)
Studies show fermented supplements can also:
-
- Fight harmful bacteria while supporting good bacteria growth
- Reduce inflammation
- Increase antioxidant levels
- Enhance mineral absorption
This supplement supports foundational health for dogs of all ages — especially those dealing with inflammation, mobility issues, or low energy.
And let’s be honest, who doesn’t!
Our proprietary two-stage fermentation process involves Saccharomyces cerevisiae, beneficial yeast, fruit-based enzymes, and a special kind of probiotics to maximize the benefits.

Now, let’s dive into what is new this month
Road-tripping … with raw food!
Yes, you can still feed your dog raw while traveling. In this article, I share how I keep Pax’s diet consistent and safe on the road. Read more here.
Life Lessons
A morning swim, a beautiful day… and then BAM! A faceplant on a forest trail. Learn what I keep in my first aid kit and an analogy you may appreciate.
Hormones & Sterilization
Recently, there was some criticism that came my way about hormone-sparing sterilization. I want to clarify that I am NOT against responsible breeding, or sterilization – BUT – there is a way to do it and still preserve our dogs' health and hormones. Learn more.
Is Salt Really Bad for Dogs?
Pet food companies have taught us to fear salt — but is that fair? Learn the truth about sodium, hydration, and what might be a sign of something deeper.
Whether it’s navigating what to feed on the road, handling unexpected injuries, or simply rethinking what “healthy” really means — the learning and sharing never stops, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to be there for you, my VIDPs!
Thank you for being part of this mission with us, being there for your dog but also for you, my VIDP! (Very Important Dog Parent)
Your dog is lucky to have you.
Give them a hug for me!
