Did you know…

The smallest dog ever was a Chihuahua named Miracle Milly.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

After devastating wildfires ravaged central Chile in 2017, the charred El Maule region faced a daunting recovery: over a million acres of forest were destroyed and countless ecosystems disrupted. Enter an unexpected trio of heroes—Border Collies. Das, Olivia, and Summer were on a mission to breathe life back into the land.

Equipped with specially designed backpacks filled with native seeds, these energetic pups race through scorched forests, scattering hope with every leap.

Covering up to 18 miles a day, the dogs distribute over 20 pounds of seeds, significantly outperforming the manual efforts of human planters. Their natural herding instincts make them ideal for the job, ensuring they stay focused while navigating wildlife-filled terrain.

Behind this innovative project are sisters Francisca and Constanza Torres, who train and care for the furry reforestation team. The Torres sisters fund much of the effort themselves, with occasional donations helping to sustain the initiative.

For the dogs, however, it’s more than work—it’s pure joy. “They really love it!” Francisca shares.

The results are already remarkable. Flora and fauna are beginning to reclaim their place in the recovering forests, demonstrating the profound impact of combining human ingenuity with canine enthusiasm.

Keeping your dog in tip-top shape goes beyond regular exercise and a balanced diet—supplements can make a big difference, too. Whether it’s supporting healthy joints, improving digestion, or easing anxiety, the right supplements can address your pup’s unique needs. But with so many choices out there, how do you know which ones are worth it?

1. Identify Your Dog’s Needs
Start by considering your dog’s age, breed, size, and any health concerns. For example, senior dogs may benefit from glucosamine for joint support, while puppies might need omega-3s for brain development.

2. Consult Your Vet
Before adding any supplements to your dog’s routine, consult your veterinarian. They can help identify deficiencies or recommend products that align with your dog’s health goals.

3. Look for Quality Ingredients
Not all supplements are created equal. Choose those with high-quality, natural ingredients, and avoid fillers or artificial additives. Look for products that are third-party tested for safety.

4. Follow Dosage Guidelines
Over-supplementation can be harmful, so follow dosage instructions carefully. For example, while fish oil supports a shiny coat and heart health, too much can upset your dog’s stomach.

5. Tailor Supplements to Lifestyle
Active dogs may need additional support for joints and muscles, while more sedentary pets might benefit from weight management supplements.

Supporting your dog’s health with supplements can make a big difference, but always prioritize balance and guidance from a trusted source.

Your dog’s health is priceless, and their food plays a vital role in their wellbeing. Even with kibble, wet food, or packaged meals, many dogs miss out on essential live nutrients, which can lead to:

• Dull coats or skin problems

• Digestive discomfort

• Low energy or joint stiffness

That’s where Ruff Greens makes a difference. Packed with live probiotics, Omega-3s, and essential vitamins, this premium canine supplement fills the gaps in your dog’s diet to:

• Support healthy digestion and better nutrient absorption

• Improve joint health for an active, pain-free life

• Promote a shiny coat and healthy skin

• Boost immunity and overall vitality

The wellness wave has swept through our lives, and now it’s making waves in the world of dogs. From supplements to skincare, here are some exciting trends that are keeping our furry companions happier and healthier.

1. Supplements for Longevity:

Cannabidiol (CBD) is gaining traction as a safe way to ease anxiety, pain, and even seizures in dogs. Look for vet-recommended products and monitor your pup’s response for optimal results.

Boredom-busting activities like puzzle feeders and sniffing mats are not just fun—they’re essential for your dog’s mental health. These activities reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

4. Personalized Nutrition:
Just like us, dogs benefit from diets tailored to their unique needs. From fresh, human-grade meals to kibble enhanced with superfoods, custom nutrition is the future of pet care.
