Stop giving your dog tap water, scientists estimated that the majority of Americans have tap water contaminated with a mixture of PFOA and PFOS at concentrations of one part per trillion (ppt) or higher. This causes cancers in people and your pets. Properly filter your water!

What are you doing to purify your drinking water?💧

A new veterinary study looking at carcinogens in dogs’ drinking water 🐾concluded pollutants in tap water increase the risk of certain cancers in dogs, and that filtering tap water could decrease the overall incidence of these cancers. Researchers found dogs with bladder cancer were more likely to live in areas with higher tap water concentrations of total trihalomethane, a reactive byproduct of disinfection chemicals, especially chlorination, used in municipal tap water.

So the big question is: what are you doing to remove chlorine and other contaminants from your household water?

Chemical-laden 🚱 tap water is just one of the quiet, common household pollutants millions of families are exposed on a daily basis, unless we do something to fix the situation. In our upcoming book, The Forever Dog, we cover all of the top household environmental risks you should be aware of, including the section titled “How Bad is Your Water?💧”. Chlorine is just one of the many contaminants that may be found in your water supply.

If you receive your water from a public water supply, we recommend you research the quality of your water by accessing your community’s Annual Quality Report. Check the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) report “What’s On Tap?”, and ask your water utility (the company that bills you monthly) for a copy of its annual water quality report. This report will list the detected contaminants, the potential source(s) of those contaminants, and the levels at which those contaminants were present in the water supply. Using this information, you’ll be able to choose the correct filter for your family’s drinking water.

Choose the filter technology that best suits your circumstances and budget: whole-house carbon; individual carbon filters on water spigots and portable pitchers, refrigerator filters; reverse osmosis filters in the kitchen, there are many to choose from. Choose a filter system that addresses the contaminants in your area, as each type of filter has its strengths and limitations, and one type does not accomplish all goals.

Stop. using. lawn. chemicals.

STUDY REVEALS THE LINK BETWEEN OUR LAWNS, OUR PETS🐾, CANCER🔥 AND US

Beware pet parents: Treating your lawn with yard chemicals☠️, allowing your pet to eat or play on grass that’s been sprayed💦, or walking your pet on golf courses⛳️ can negatively affect our dog’s health, according to several studies. In fact, it can impact your entire family, as pets can bring those chemicals back inside!

In our new book, The Forever Dog, it was critical for us to highlight things in and around your home that could damage your pet’s DNA. According to Dr. David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics, and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School- “DNA damage speeds up aging.”

Several studies show: dogs exposed (through laying, playing, ingesting or inhalation) to treated lawns has been associated with a significantly higher bladder cancer risk, and dogs whose owners reported use of professionally applied lawn pesticides were 70 PERCENT more likely to have lymphoma (cancer). In fact, there was an even higher risk of lymphoma if owners used self-applied insect growth regulators on their yards to control cockroaches, fleas, and other pests!🐜

Our book focuses on how to raise the healthiest, happiest, long-lived dogs, and in it we teach you how to evaluate your dog’s indoor and outdoor environmental chemical exposure⚠️. In the section of the book titled Environmental Impact: The Body Burden, where we offer you tips like:

• Safer lawn-care options
• DIY non-toxic w**d killer recipes
• Home Chemical Exposure Pet checklist
• Forever Dog Foot Soak Recipe
• Supplements that support chemical clearance

We know many of you Longevity Junkies have already pre-ordered your copy of the book (thank you!!😻) but are desperate for solutions and suggestions right NOW! We put together a handy guide with gems from the book you can institute this week.

This free resource is crucial this summer if you have pets spending time outdoors because even if you don’t buy lawn chemicals, it doesn’t mean your dog isn’t being exposed. Home foot soaks after walks in parks and public spaces can go a long way in reducing your dog’s chemical exposure.
