This one’s for the DOGS

Sorry if this may be a little off the human topic but many of us including I’m sure

love our fur babies. Hopefully this is ok? I’ve spent countless hours researching and learning about how to improve health and longevity not only for myself but also my friends family and loved ones. I still have so much to learn. Lately I’ve been thinking “what about my beloved bulldog brew!” I want him to also have good health and longevity. I also know that many of the studies we reference in our research comes from animals. So there is a good amount of information out there for us to observe. My question for all of you awesome folks is do you have a health and longevity protocol for your pets? Specifically your dog. Do you use peptides, small molecules, or other supplements? Do you implement an exercise program or other modalities like laser treatment? If so what have been your results? As some of you may know, there are certain dog breeds that require more attention than others when it comes to health. English Bulldogs are one of them. They have constant skin issues, allergic reactions, breathing, eyes, and sometimes heart, and lung problems as well. My bulldog Brew is 2 years old going on three next month. He is usually pretty healthy and has no major issues but I have struggled with skin reactions he has from time to time where he gets sores on his belly and inside his legs. However they are such awesome and fun dogs and are worth the effort to keep them happy and healthy. He makes me laugh almost everyday and I enjoy our companionship. We go on many walks and adventures together. I want to do all the things for him that I have done for myself for a happy life, health, and longevity. I’ve asked lots of questions for myself now this one is for my Brewski!! Full disclosure, my daughter is a very successful Veterinarian. She gives my baby great care! However I’ve had a few discussions with her about alternative medicine and all the things. She is very intelligent and educated in her field. However we have hit some roadblocks when it come to discussing these treatments compared to her modern medical training. I’m not the smartest fella and our discussions usually become one sided with her educated opinion. She is interested in what I’m telling her about but I just don’t know enough about this field to have an engaging conversation. I would like to arm myself with better information on other treatments to share with her. If any of you know of any good resources, practitioners, books to look into I would appreciate you sharing them!
