Guinness’s Favorite Things

I often get asked about what products I am using with Guinness to help him stay happy and healthy while he ages.

Here’s a list of products that have been tested and approved by my big, old mutt himself.

For reference, he’s a 13-year-old, 120 lb Mastiff/Rottweiler/Staffy mix. And not surprisingly, he’s a power chewer.

Books on Natural Pet Health

Dr Pitcairn’s Complete Guide To Natural Health for Dogs and Cats

This was the book that first got me started on holistic health for my pets.

Food and Treats

Wellness Core Grain Free in Low Fat Formula

Wellness Core Grain Free Canned Food

Guinness eats the “Fish Free” flavors.

Old Mother Hubbard Original Assortment Dog Biscuits in Mini

Trader Joe’s Organic Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe Sticks

Guinness’s current “high value” treat

Supplements

BarkShop’s 100 mg Full Spectrum Hemp Oil

This is a good strength to start with if you and your dog are just starting out with CBD.

NaturVet Digestive Enzymes plus Probiotic

Guinness has a really sensitive stomach and this helped us with a lot of his digestive problems. He gets them before each meal and thinks they are treats.

NaturVet Joint Health Advanced Care Level 3

Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM plus some other herbs and spices. If you have a large, old dog go right to level 3. You’ll be amazed how much better they do after a couple weeks on this.

Toys

Kong Extreme XL

Jolly Pets Romp N Roll Ball aka the Jolly Ball

The rope doesn’t last long, but the ball holds up for a surprising amount of time.

Nylabone Dura Chew Barbell, Peanut Butter Flavor

Mammoth Pets Tire Biter Chew Rope

Other

Weatherbeeta Dog Coat

Wisdom Panel Canine DNA test

Good for some laughs if you have a mixed breed dog.

If your dog is older, just get the breed detection kit. The health kit is more expensive and the odds are that if your old dog had a genetic disease you would already know it.

Amarakat Dog Bed

Vittles Vault Airtight Container

Gen7Pets Natural Step Ramp for Pets

A little pricey, but its sturdy and wide enough for a large dog. The thick AstroTurf like walkway means your dog won’t slip unlike with the thin carpet with other brands.
