You’ve just seen how your dog’s body already has detox systems and how small choices (air, food, water, cleaners parasite plans) can lighten the load. In the comments, share your #1 takeaway from this lesson: - Something that surprised you, or - Something you’ll look at differently in your dog’s daily life. Reflection is part of learning - your answer may also spark ideas for other dog parents.

Every dog’s parasite plan should balance risk of disease with chemical load. In the comments, share: - Where you live (city / rural / high tick area / low tick area). - Whether you currently use flea & tick meds year-round, seasonally or not at all. - One change you might consider after what you’ve just learned (e.g. risk assessment with your vet, seasonal use, natural layering, reducing other chemical exposures). This helps you see if your current plan matches your dog’s real risk - and learn from how others are approaching this.

Roundup and other weed killers often contain glyphosate, one of the biggest outdoor exposures for dogs. Your task: - Look for a weed killer that does NOT contain glyphosate. - Post the product name in the comments so others can see safer options.

Take a few minutes to check one product your dog is most exposed to (like floor cleaner, laundry detergent, or an air freshener). If you have the Yuka app (or another label checker), scan it to see the safety rating. If not, just read the label and look for one of these red flags: bleach, ammonia, phenols, formaldehyde, artificial fragrance, or quats. In the comments below, share: - The product you checked. - What you discovered (e.g. “scored poorly on Yuka,” or “contains artificial fragrance,” or “was already pet-safe”). - Whether you’ll keep it or swap it.
