It takes literally just five minutes to produce something quick and nourishing. Lightly browned mince mixed with cooked Basmati rice noodles and thyme: protein-rich and easily digestible.

The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication system that influences overall health. A critical component of this axis is the blood-brain barrier, a determinant of neurological health in dogs.

The gut–brain axis shapes many aspects of canine health, a crucial one being the blood–brain barrier. Its integrity determines mood and behaviour and can even affect age-related decline.

Broccoli stalks - packed with goodness. Cooked in beef broth, they absorb amino acids, gelatin and minerals. Cool and open freeze for a healthy summer treat.

Just two minutes to turn that last drop of beetroot juice into a quick doggy drink. Just add kefir and hemp seeds, shake - and pour! It’s gut-friendly, heart-healthy. And too good to waste. Any left over? make summer ices!

The battle of the bacteria: helping the white hats win

DoggyDelly @doggydelly.bsky.social · Aug 14

Your dog’s gut is home to trillions of microbes – all talking to each other. This chatter shapes whether they work together or against each other.
How these tiny conversations affect everything from digestion to immunity – and how diet can help the good bacteria thrive.

Your dog’s gut and brain are constantly exchanging messages – and when that system’s in sync, it supports mood, digestion, behaviour – even resilience to stress.

When I got my hands on a *lot* of dried shiitake, it was straight to the ‘doggy’ kitchen!
Just 13 mushrooms + beef broth for a healthy topping, a cooling drink and some dog ices.
Happy dogs!
