We’re putting the spotlight on this amazing cardigan because a heaping helping of yummy chocolate, caramel and latte brown hues is the F/W 2022 reason for the fashion season. Details to Match: Brown in a range of shades with novelty buttons.

Many dog owners face housetraining issues, such as soiled indoor rugs or urine stains, but not every canine potty problem involves the indoors. A dog that potties in inappropriate outdoor areas can also cause annoying problems, such as people stepping in a mess they didn’t expect to be there. Leslie Cox of Ashland, Kentucky, faces this situation frequently with her dog, Molly Sue, a 5-year-old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, and wants to teach her better habits.

Yes and no. While some kinds of walnuts are safe for dogs to eat they are not the best choice for a pup treat. There’s no need to freak out if your dog eats a walnut you’ve dropped on the floor, says Dr. Ashley Hughes, DVC, but feeding them as a treat on a regular basis is not advised. The dangers for dogs of eating walnuts includes choking hazards, intestinal obstruction and upset stomach to more serious conditions like pancreatitis and illness from black mold that can occur on walnuts and can be toxic to dogs. Why risk any of that, right?

More and more of us are willing to pay extra for organic groceries—and for good reason. Eating organic helps us avoid foods that have been treated with potentially harmful chemicals or are genetically modified. Your pet is part of your family, and you know that they deserve the same high-quality food. Feeding your pet organic food leads to a ton of benefits, like stronger immunity and better digestion for a healthy dog. “Many dogs and cats suffer from food allergies,” says Dr. Rachel Barrack, DVM, certified veterinary acupuncturist and certified Chinese Herbalist at Animal Acupuncture in New York City. “Dog allergies can manifest as red, itchy, paws; itchy, infection prone ears; and severe skin disease.” Other symptoms of a food sensitivity often include skin irritation, chronic ear and skin infections, and gastrointestinal troubles, such as vomiting and diarrhea. Food sensitivities can also trigger chronic pain and weight gain. In addition to dog allergies, more canines are overweight and developing serious chronic health problems as they age, including cancer and heart disease. “These conditions can severely impact pet health and daily quality of life,” says Dr. Barrack, who urges her clients to take a hard look at nutrition to rebuild their pet’s health from the bowl up.
