With old age comes achy joint, stiffness & pain which can be debilitating. Arthritis, is a degenerative disease causing inflammation of joints. It occurs when the lubrication and cartilage in ones joints is no longer sufficient to keep the joint moving smoothly, the bones may come into contact with each other and cause mild to excruciating pain.

Did you know.... like humans, pets can also suffer from arthritis preventing them from walking and running normally? Arthritis can cause swelling, stiffness, pain and discomfort which leads to weakened mobility taking away your pets gusto for life. Older pets are much more prone to arthritis, but younger pets can also experience joint problems, making prevention even more important.  Here are a few preventive steps & care tips you can do at home to make your arthritic pet feel more comfortable and breathe life back into your furry friend.

1. Help Your Hound Shed Pounds- If your pet is overweight or inactive then they have a higher risk of suffering from joint pain.  Keeping your dog slim, trim & fit will help reduce the amount of stress extra weight can place on the joints giving your pet some joint pain relief. So, cut back on your pets treat intake, do away with the table scrap diet and switch to low calorie pet food with less fat and more fiber.

2. Exercise is key! Regular exercise helps keep arthritis under control.  Taking your dog for a 20 minute brisk walk several times a day will work wonders.  If your  dog is unable to do a 20 minute walk, try shorter walks up and down a small incline/hill.

3. Let Dog Sleep Indoors- Cold and damp places can cause your pets joints to hurt. So, make sure to bring your dog inside at night, and give him a warm, soft place to flop away from drafty doors & windows.

4. Make Feeding Time Easier- Often times pets with arthritic stiff neck can  have a difficult time eating. For more convenience, place your pets food and water bowls up off the floor so he or she doesn't have to lower head as much during mealtime. Better yet you can purchase raised feeding bowls.

5. Lend Your Climbing Pet a Helping Paw - Arthritic pets often have a hard time with mobility making jumping up & down and climbing stairs quite a painful task. Installing a ramp will help assist your pet in getting around and help your pet maintain some independence.

6. Give Your dog a joint supplement. The best thing to do for prevention is to give your pet an effective dog joint supplement that contains  glucosamine and other proven ingredients. Glucosamine has been proven effective in reducing inflammation and lessening your dogs joint pain.

Gone Are the Days of Only Home on the Range: Argentina Ranchers Breaks With Roaming Cattle Tradition

Argentina a leader in the cattle industry and known for its high quality lean,  natural, grass fed beef. Cows grazing freely on the vast Pampas to eat till their hearts & stomach content have long been a part of Argentine tradition. But the times are changing as ranchers break with tradition and venture away from the range to feedlot pens to take advantage of the agriculture boom. Argentina once a leading exporter of beef and veal produced from cattle grazing, is now becoming a force to be reckon in the agricultural world with its vast farming of soybean, wheat & corn. Although great for farmers and the Argentina economy, sky rocking demand for cash crops has its downside. The agriculture boom is putting the quality of beef steaks at stake all for the sake of quantity & mass production. As more Argentina farmers follow in the footsteps of USA & Europe's infamous feedlots,  also know as cattle fattening holding pens.

In a recent article posted in The Washington Post , Argentina cattle are now being moved off the fertile grasslands of Pampa and into U.S style feedlots .The Pampa Region ranch land once home to Angus & Hereford cows are now being dedicated to agriculture and replaced with soybeans, corn & wheat. As the Argentine economy is now switching from cattle to crop. It appears that a growing number of Argentine cattle are spending a third of their lives on U.S style feedlots. The cattle are cramped in muddy corrals, and pumped full of antibiotics & protein rich fats to fatten them up quicker. Argentine ranchers are herding their cattle into feedlots to plump them up, increase efficiency and free up land for profit gain in this case profit "grain".

With the recent Argentina agriculture boom the countries traditional pastureland, once meant for cattle, are now being replaced by cropland to grow cash crops such as soybeans. No longer is cattle considered the Argentinian cash cow amongst its native farmers. Soybeans, corn & wheat farms are now more prominent and considered more profitable than raising livestock. With less land delegated for cash crops as oppose to cattle grazing, in order to maintain beef production on less land, many farms are using corn, other feeds & feedlots for fattening during the last two or three months prior to slaughter. As stated in the Washington Post, “This year, a third of the 15 million animals expected to go to slaughter will fatten up in the now-ubiquitous feedlots, three times as many as in 2001. General manager of the Argentine Feedlot Chamber, Rodrigo Troncoso expects that more then 60% of Argentina’s cattle will pass through feedlots in fives years."

The Great Debate: Feedlot vs Grass fed

As the saying goes "Knowledge is power". Before one can chime in on the great feedlot verse grass fed debate its important to know the difference between the two. Livestock placed in feedlots are often confined in overpopulated crapped holding pens where cattle are grain fed and fattened before being slaughtered. Sadly, feedlot cattle are feed an unnatural diet of of grains and inhumanely unable to roam and graze grasslands freely as nature intended. Because of cramped feedlot pen corridors cows are often sick and run high risk of transmitting diseases, and as a preventive measure many are more likely given routine antibiotics. Not to mention cows raised in this way are often given growth hormones shots so that they can reach slaughter weight faster and farmers can increase beef production in a short span of time. Because grain-fed cows grow faster, after spending only 6 months in a feedlot are  sent to slaughter houses. Not only are feedlot accommodations inhumane for the cattle their is much environmental & health concerns to consider. Larger concentration of wastes,  inefficiency of feeding grain to cattle & the use of hormones and antibiotics for feedlot cattle is not much to be desired. Estimates of the number of pounds of grain required to produce a pound of beef range from 10 to 16 pounds.  With approximately 97% of the beef sold in the U.S. is grain-fed feedlot beef, while the other 3% is grass-fed consumers are opting for the healthier piece of grass fed steak.

According to an insightful article by Northwestern Health Science University on the negative impact of feedlots and positive impact of grass fed cattle the quality & health benefits of grass fed beef can't be denied. Although feedlots increase meat, poultry, egg and dairy production often times profit trumps quality and safety putting consumers, such as yourself, at risk. Feedlots pose the following problems:

1. Lower Nutritional Value-Studies have shown that meat from animals raised in feedlots often contain more total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and calories. Products from grain-fed animals also contain less vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C and omega-3 fatty acids.

2. Unnatural Diets- In order to boost farm productivity and lower costs. Genetically modified grain and soy are the main components of these animals’ diets. To cut costs even more, animal feed may also contain by-products such as municipal garbage, stale pastry, chicken feathers and candy.

3. Stress on Animals- When cud chewing animals are fed low fiber grains as oppose to fiber rich grasses can take a toil on health & overall well being. Subacute acidosis is a very common condition that affects cattle. This condition causes cattle to kick at their bellies, stop eating feed and begin to eat dirt. These animals are often given chemical additives along with a constant, low-level dose of antibiotics to prevent reactions from becoming fatal. When the antibiotics are overused in the feedlots, bacteria become resistant to them. When humans consume cattle that were fed these antibiotics, they often become infected with the new, disease-resistant bacteria, which means there are fewer medications available to treat them.

4. Ground and water pollution-When animals are raised in confinement, they deposit large amounts of manure in small spaces. The right thing for the farmers to do is to collect and transport this manure far away from the area; however, this can be a very expensive task. More increasingly, farmers collect the manure and to cut costs, dump it as close to the feedlot as possible. As a result, the soil becomes over packed with nutrients, which can lead to ground and water pollution.

While grass-fed beef are unconfined and allowed to humanely roam & graze freely and given a natural diet of grass, hay &  forage as oppose to grains. Although grass fed beef are usually smaller in size & grow slower. Grass-fed farming or ranching involves raising livestock on open pasture – free to roam about. These animals are free of antibiotics, steroids, hormones, pesticides and other foreign substances. Research has shown that grass-fed animals may be safer than food from conventionally-raised animals. According to a study published in the Journal of Animal Science in 2002, grass-fed beef may offer these benefits:

1. Lower in Fat and Calories-Meat from grass-fed cattle, sheep and bison is lower in total fat. Lean meats may have as much as one-third the fat as a similar cut from a grain-fed animal. Consuming lean beef can also help lower LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) levels. Because it is lower in fat, grass-fed beef is also lower in calories. Even fatty cuts of grass-fed beef are lower in fat and calories than beef from grain-fed cattle.

2. More Omega-3 Fatty Acids- Grass-fed animals can contain as much as two-to-four times more essential omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed animals. One reason grass-fed animals are full of these good fats is because omega-3s are formed in the chloroplasts of green leaves and algae.

3. More Vitamins-Studies have shown that grass-fed beef can have as much as four times more vitamin E than grain-fed beef. Grass-fed beef even contain twice as much vitamin E as grain-fed beef that are given vitamin E supplements!

4. Good Source of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)- Grass-fed animals contain as much as three-to-five times more CLA, known to reduce risk of cancer, than grain-fed animals.

We always love getting tweets from our Twitter friends asking us to feature their dog  or favorite breed for our Best Bully Sticks Spotlight on a Breed blog series. As always we are honored to oblige. Thanks @dog_milk for submitting your adorable pics of your furry pack, Lulu, the American Bulldog and Beans the Boston Terrier. Since they seem inseparable friends & family we figured it was only fitting for them to share the spotlight. Thanks for following our @bestbullysticks tweets.

The American Bulldog

Lulu the American Bulldog (pic by twitter friend @dog_milk

Height: Males: 22 – 27 inches; Females: 20 – 25 inches.

Weight: Male: 75 – 125 lbs.; Female: 60 – 100 lbs.

Coat: The coat is short, close, and stiff to the touch.

Color: White coat or any color pattern including black, red, brown and all shades of brindle

Appearance: The American Bulldog is a stocky and well built, strong-looking dog. Its coat is short and either white, white with patches, black and white brindle, fawn and white, fawn and white brindle or a combination of all of these. Some may even have what is called a blue patch. The color conformation is quite varied, but white must be somewhere in the coat for the dog to be confirmed in most ABD clubs.
The Johnson type is a larger dog with a shorter muzzle than the Scott type. However, many modern American Bulldogs are a combination of the two types. In general, American Bulldogs weigh between 60 and 125 pounds (27 to 57kg) and are 20 to 28 inches (52 to 70cm) at the withers. The American Bulldog is massive in comparison to both the French Bulldog and the British Bulldog due to the fact that the American Bulldog was never down bred to be a lap dog.

There are mainly five types of American Bulldogs:

*The Johnson type: This type is commonly known as the Classic or Bully type. These bulldogs are more aggressive and have pendulous lips, an undershot jaw, facial wrinkles and a shorter muzzle. Johnson’s famous American Bulldog, the Incredible Mean Machine had 30% characteristics of an English Bulldog, and forms the foundation for most of the modern American Bulldog.

*The Scott type: This type is also known as Standard or Performance type. Bulldogs belonging to this type are large, coarse, leggy and used to catch wild hogs and cattle. They have an athletic look and a long muzzle.

*The Painter/Margentina type: They were developed in late 70s by Joe Painter, Margentina and Tappe, and are mainly used in dog fighting. They are small in size and weigh about 25 – 35 kg.

*The Old Southern Whites type: These are the original country bulldogs. They served as a raw material for Johnson, Scott, etc, and helped them to develop advanced breeds of the American Bulldog.

*The Hybrid type: These are mainly American Bulldogs whose bloodline is a mixture of Johnson and Scott type. Some of the successful breeders of this type are Kyle Symmes, Matt Boyd, Grey Souza, etc.

Temperament: The essential characteristics of the American Bulldog are those, which enable it to work as a hog and cattle catching dog, and a protector of personal property. These tasks require a powerful, agile, confident dog with a large head and powerful jaws. The American Bulldog is a gentle, loving family companion who is fearless enough to face an angry bull or a human intruder; Good with children; Good with pets.

Health: The average lifespan of this bred is between 10 – 14 years, and their main health concern is the development of hip and elbow dysplasia. Regular joint health supplements can lower their chances of developing severe dysplasia. American Bulldogs are also at an increased risk for bone cancer, eye conditions such as entropion and ectropion, and enlarged hearts.

The Boston Terrier

Beans the Boston Terrier digging through the sands of time

Height: between 38-43cms (stands 15-17 inches at the withers)

Weight: Weight is divided by classes as follows: Under 15 pounds; 15 pounds and under 20 pounds; 20 pounds and not to exceed 25 pounds.

Coat: The coat is short, smooth, bright and fine in texture.

Color: The Boston Terrier is characteristically marked with white in proportion to either black, brindle, seal, or a combination of the three. Seal is a color specifically used to describe Boston Terriers and is defined as a black color with red highlights when viewed in the sun or bright light.

Appearance:

The Boston Terrier is a lively, highly intelligent, smooth coated, short-headed, compactly built, short-tailed, well balanced dog, brindle, seal or black in color and evenly marked with white. The head is in proportion to the size of the dog and the expression indicates a high degree of intelligence.

Boston Terriers are typically small, compactly built, well proportioned dogs with erect ears, short tails, and a short muzzle. The body is rather short and well knit, the limbs strong and neatly turned, the tail is short and no feature is so prominent that the dog appears badly proportioned. The dog conveys an impression of determination, strength and activity, with style of a high order; carriage easy and graceful. A proportionate combination of “Color and White Markings” is a particularly distinctive feature of a representative specimen.

Temperament:

Beans posing for some camera action!

Boston Terriers have strong, friendly personalities. Bostons can range in temperaments from those that are eager to please their master to those that are more stubborn. Both can be easily trained given a patient and assertive owner. The modern Boston Terrier can be gentle, alert, expressive, and well-mannered.  They were originally a cross-breed between the Old English Bulldog and the English White Terrier.

Some Bostons enjoy having another one for companionship. Both females and males generally bark only when necessary. Having been bred as a companion dog, they enjoy being around people, and, if properly socialized, get along well with children, the elderly, other canines, and non-canine pets. Some Boston Terriers are very cuddly, while others are more independent.

Health: The life expectancy of the Boston Terrier is 13-15 years. Several health issues are of concern in the Boston Terrier: cataracts (both juvenile and adult type), cherry eye, luxating patellas, deafness, heart murmur, and allergies. Curvature of the back, called roaching, might be caused by patella problems with the rear legs, which in turn causes the dog to lean forward onto the forelegs. This might also just be a structural fault with little consequence to the dog. Many Bostons cannot tolerate excessive heat and also extremely cold weather, due to the shortened muzzle, so hot or cold weather combined with demanding exercise can bring harm to a Boston Terrier. A sensitive digestive system is also typical of the Boston Terrier. In the absence of proper diet, flatulence is associated with the breed.

Bostons, along with Pug, Shih Tzu and other short-snouted breeds are Brachycephalic breeds. The word comes from Greek roots “Brachy,” meaning short and “cephalic,” meaning head. This anatomy can cause tiny nostrils, long palates and a narrow trachea. Because of this, Bostons may be prone to snoring and reverse sneeze, a rapid and repeated forced inhalation through the nose, accompanied by snorting or gagging sounds used to clear the palate of mucus, but does not harm the dog in any way. Bostons are also prone to sensitive stomachs and intestinal gas.

The Bullmastiff is extremely powerful and needs a firm master, who is confident and consistent with the rules set upon the dog.
