Many people say use cheese for training treats but when I try, Leif has a badly upset tummy after. Is it coincidence? I don’t know. I’m reluctant to try again but he loves it. He does have a very sensitive tummy. Seems possibly cottage cheese and eggs too. I cut out pork as that upset him too. Do you suggest trying one at a time again please? I did have an allergy test which showed a few different grasses too.

So I've been seeing all these posts on Reddit about dog parents getting their dog's DNA tested... and the results are WILD. 😱 There was this woman who adopted what she thought was a Golden Retriever puppy. The rescue called him a golden. AI said he was a golden. Everyone who met him said "cute golden!" She did an Embark DNA test, ZERO percent Golden Retriever. Not even a trace.🫣 He was 29% German Shepherd, 26% Beagle, 23% "Supermutt" (which is code for "we have no idea"), and 21% Siberian Husky, and here's the craziest part... he LOOKS like a golden retriever! This got me thinking about how much we assume about our dogs based on appearance. And how that might affect the way we feed them, train them, and care for their health. Here's what's interesting from a nutrition standpoint:🤔 Different breeds have different genetic predispositions to health issues. German Shepherds are prone to hip dysplasia and digestive sensitivity. Beagles tend toward food allergies. Huskies have specific nutritional needs for their high energy, so if you THINK you have a golden (known for joint issues and cancer risk), but you actually have a German Shepherd/Beagle/Husky mix... you might be missing important preventative care opportunities.🎯 The DNA test can tell you: - Breed-specific health risks to watch for - Genetic markers for food sensitivities - Predisposition to joint issues, skin conditions, digestive problems - Optimal activity levels based on breed mix And honestly? It's just FUN to know what your dog actually is. 🎉 So here's my question for the group: Have you DNA tested your dog? Were you shocked by the results? And for those who haven't... would you? Or do you think it doesn't matter as long as your dog is healthy and happy?🎯 Drop your stories below! I'm dying to know if anyone else got surprised like that Golden Retriever mom. 👇🐾
