Woofer Wellness

Hello everyone! I've gotten quite a few new followers over the last while and thought I would take the chance to re-introduce myself and the dogs to you all! So, Hi! My name is Chayse and I have been in the dog industry professionally for over 8 years and it's no surprise that I love what I do ... I am a certified dog trainer and along with my Veterinary background, I have multiple certifications in canine nutrition from The Possible Canine, Dogs Naturally and my Cert.CN from the Companion Animal Science Institute. I use my social media to connect with owners to help them better understand their dog and learn about their individual nutritional needs to help them along in their journey. I am currently enrolled to become a certified canine massage practitioner and look forward to adding that, along with some herbalism to my future services alongside my recipe formulations I live in a small city called Fort Saskatchewan which is just outside of Edmonton, Alberta in Canada (but work with owners all over!) with my husband Ross and 3 dogs, Marley, Mayson and Ripley Marley is a 7 year old Australian Shepherd, Labrador mix and she is the firecracker of the household! She constantly challenges me and keeps my training education in good use....all the time Mayson is a 6 year old pure bred Golden Retriever who was born blind, he is the highlight of our lives and keeps every person he meets smiling all day long. He is a certified therapy dog and is truly the best boy Ripley is our new addition, and he's been with us for a full year come May! He was also born blind and is a Saint Bernard, German Shepherd mix that is about 5 years old. He is the biggest momma's boy and we are so happy we found him to join the family I would LOVE for you to message me or comment about yourself and pack so I can learn all about you wonderful humans & woofers!

Reminder that raw feeding doesn't always have to be creative bowls with exotic looking ingredients! As long as nutrition needs are met, it doesn't need to be pretty! Ripley enjoying a messy mash this morning consisting of: Premade Raw - Organic ground Turkey with bone, beef tripe and spleen, horse heart and kidney and pork liver... Veg/Quinoa mix - mixture of cooked and blended sweet potato, kale, spinach, beets, purple cabbage, green beans, organic ginger root, shiitake mushrooms and overcooked quinoa Supplements/extras mixed in - Filtered water Organic chicken egg Green Lipped Mussel Powder Copper Chelated Manganese Iodine (kelp) Vitamin D3 Vitamin E

DIY raw is not for everyone and that's totally okay! Here are some important things to consider when choosing a quality premade raw for your woofer! https://wooferwellness.wixsite.com/webs//premade-raw-guide

Hope you get a chance to get out with your dog today!

To feed them is a necessity, but to feed them intelligently is an art Mayson enjoying the light morning snowfall alongside his breakfast: @bigcountryraw Pork Dinner ... @bigcountryraw Quail Eggs Kefir bone Parsley *not a typical ingredient but left over from human meals this week. Herbs can be a great addition to your dog's diet, Parsley in particular is high in Chlorophyll (which combats bad doggy breath along with other great benefits), Vitamins A, C, K and iron. Supplements mixed in: Green Lipped Mussel Powder Taurine, COQ10 & Hawthorn Berry TriActa Extra Strength We have been experimenting with some different premades for the first month the baby is born to help make things a little easier prepping wise! @bigcountryraw makes NRC balanced diets (once you add an Omega 3 source), which is something you should look for in a balanced premade raw (AAFCO or NRC)

We're on YouTube! Due to instagram not allowing 10+ minute videos I needed somewhere to upload massage content (and more) so here we are! Please give us a watch and maybe even hit that subscribe button for future videos! ... Our first video is showing a basic canine massage using effleurage, petrissage and tapotement techniques on Mayson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuW_pW35l8c&t=4s
