The parasite prevention revolution is here, and it's changing how we think about protecting our dogs from fleas, ticks, worms, and other unwanted visitors. Did you know that approximately 15% of dogs carry Giardia? With roughly 25 million dogs and cats in the UK, that's a staggering 3.75 million potential carriers spreading these parasites throughout our environment.
For decades, we've trusted conventional veterinary treatments without question, applying chemical spot-ons and administering worming tablets as directed. But what if there's a better way? This eye-opening conversation explores the dark side of traditional parasite treatments – from their environmental impact (one dose for a large dog can kill 25 million bees!) to documented side effects including seizures, tremors, and autoimmune responses in our beloved pets. Most shocking perhaps is learning that many ingredients in these products are banned for agricultural use yet deemed acceptable to apply directly to our dogs.
Bug-K9 offers a natural alternative that's revolutionising parasite prevention. With powerful ingredients like pumpkin seed, black cumin seed, fennel, ginger, cinnamon, peppermint, and more, this herbal blend creates an environment parasites simply don't want to inhabit. Unlike chemical treatments that work by circulating toxins through your dog's system, this preventative approach makes your dog naturally unattractive to parasites while simultaneously supporting their overall health.
The five-pronged approach combines internal supplementation with external products like natural shampoos, sprays and balms – all human-grade and safe enough to use yourself. The powder format ensures maximum efficacy (80% bioavailability compared to just 30-40% in tablet form), and regular worm count tests consistently confirm its effectiveness even in high-risk environments.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Welcome to the Absolute Dog Sex in a Squirrel
podcast.
I'm Lauren Langman.
I'm one of the world's leadingdog trainers and it's my mission
to help owners become theirdog's top priority.
In each episode, you'lldiscover how to gain trust and
communicate with your dog likenever before, creating
unbreakable bonds that make youthe most exciting part of their
world.
Okay, today we are talking bug.
(00:31):
Now, when I say bug, we'retalking all of the itchy flea,
tick, giardia, worms, all of thenasties, all of the things that
you just don't want in yourhouse, you don't want in your
dog, in fact, you just don'twant right not at all, and if I
start itching I promise I don'thave any, but just talking about
those things makes me like alittle bit a few funny stories
(00:51):
about uh, people and wormers,but anyway, we won't go there.
Let's not go there now.
I've seen one of the stats onthe board and it's 15 of dogs
have giardia.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yes, like that scares me, oh, my goodness.
I mean.
Then, when you look at itfurther, they estimate there's
roughly 25 million dogs and catsin the uk.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So when you do the math on that one, it's 3.75
million potential dogs and catscan be carrying giardia and if
you think about it with theshedding, the fact that then if
those say four million areshedding um at the same time, uh
, that potentially means thespread is quite big.
Now let's talk fleas, ticks,worms, giardia, all of the
(01:30):
things.
Prevention like prevention,because I think this is big.
Now, 25 years ago, I would notquestion what my vet suggested.
I put my dog and I love my vet,I really love my vet and my vet
practice.
They're just fantastic.
So big shout out to my lovelyvet and we would do things like
frontline and and more recently,things like provecto and um,
(01:50):
seresto, collars and and drontaland all the other things.
And I suppose about five yearsago I started to really question
it.
I had a dog with um cancer Ishe was young diagnosed like
three years old, diagnosed withquite severe cancer, melanoma,
and malignant, like it wasmalignant, it was potentially
life-threatening, and it reallymade me question a few things.
(02:12):
And my dad the same.
He was diagnosed with cancerand it was fatal, like it was
going to be a final cancer, itwas going to be a non-curative
and it just made me think aboutwhat we put on our hands, what
we put in our households, whatwe put on our skin, what we put
on our dog's skin, what we putin our environment, what we put
(02:33):
in our dog's food, what we maybeinject in our dogs or maybe
what we allow them to ingest orwe actively put on their skin,
and I suppose I got a bitcurious.
I a bit curious, I thinkprobably this is around seven
years ago, but around five yearsago, really curious and that's
when I started using um, morenatural herbal alternatives herb
(02:55):
would be the way that myclients like me to say it, but
herbal alternatives and I knowthat for me there is now a
better way.
Yes, and I have not looked back.
Now I can say that, uh, my dogwith cancer you know what she
has um was given only a threemonth um diagnosis and, and,
like you, will last three months.
We completely changed her diet.
(03:15):
We completely changed her, soshe went completely 100% raw.
So 100% raw.
And we stopped using any um vetprescribed treatments unless
under emergency.
For example, we would use likean antibiotic in emergency or a
anesthesia in in emergency, but100% raw.
We stopped using any vetprescribed treatments unless
under emergency.
For example, we would use likean antibiotic in emergency or an
anesthesia in emergency but wewouldn't use it sort of day to
day.
So I stopped using all sort ofvet prescribed chemical wormers
(03:35):
and I also started to T to testinstead of vaccinate, and it
really gave me a new sense ofpurpose in finding out way more
information for her.
Now, bug Canine we developed soBug Canine's here and since
then our dogs, your dogs, mydogs, have all had Bug Canine.
I think the very exciting thingis that I have 10 dogs and they
(03:59):
are all on Bug Canine in theirsupplement and especially where
I live like we live in an areathat's high ticks like yes, how
many sheep around here, michelle, uh, I dare not count.
This morning I had a barconversation.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
We were like but, but , but, but like it was so much
fun.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Liza was riding and they were buying back and well,
we thought we felt they were.
But you know what it's likewhen we're hacking.
I mean sheep everywhere, waymore sheep than population.
Yes, right, that like we areoutnumbered.
If they decided to turn on uslike we would be losing in the
battle.
Um, so yeah, the ticks areeverywhere, the jar is for sure
everywhere, and yet my dogstested.
(04:38):
Um, so we do like a worm countand uh, we obviously put our
hands all over our dogs andcheck and I haven't had any
ticks on my dogs this year andit's warm and it's wet and it's
damp, and so I've had no ticks,I've had no Giardia, I've had no
worms.
I do worm counts regularly andfor me and a group of 10 dogs,
that's massive, like what a win.
High five to this, because Ithink this is just.
(05:01):
I genuinely think it's prettybeautiful and it should be open.
It's open, it's open, good.
And when I open this packet,what am I going to smell?
Here, michelle, I want a currydinner.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I already know what it smells like.
It smells amazing.
But for anybody who's listening, who's not in the UK, and
certainly I wasn't aware of thisuntil I moved here.
But Giardia is a parasite and alot of dogs are carriers of it
but show no symptoms.
But show no symptoms and it'sespecially where we live here.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Anywhere that's got a lot of moisture, high
populations of dogs, of dogparks, busy areas, is
transmitted through poo,essentially um, and so if your
dog's out there sniffing poo orlicking the ground, or, and and
you know, if you own a male dog,they do things like that right,
females too.
So I'm not going to just go oneway or the other but males in
particular, are going to goaround the ground licking the
floor at times, because that iskind of what they do with
(05:51):
licking.
Licking girl wee and things likethat is what you tend to find
dogs doing.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
But yeah, for sure it's big right yep, and it can
be in water, contaminated water.
It's a lot more prevalent thanpeople actually realized and in
some areas it's up to 45 percentof the dog population actually
has it, which is is crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Now, if we look at the ingredients here, we've got
inulin, pumpkin seed, blackcumin seed, fennel, ginger,
cinnamon, fenugreek, peppermint,zinc, selenium, vitamin a and
great probiotics.
What really?
I'm very excited by thisbecause the world's waking up to
it, yeah, and I don't mindwhether people use bug, canine
or um any other, um, great herbsor herbs on the market.
(06:28):
For me, this is the best.
That is why I use it and that'swhy, um, we love it and we're
really proud of, like, the dogswho are, who are looking so
great and feeling so much better.
I feel for not having thingslike seresto, collars and um,
all of the, um potential nastiesthat we might be putting on
them and in them, like, like,for me, it really scares me that
you get them to ingestsomething that is going to go um
(06:49):
and basically get involved intheir internal organs but that
freaks me out and and it's um,there's not many things that are
actually can kill somethinglike urethra, so you're limited
in what you can actually giveyour dog.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Um, and it's an antibiotic basically.
So you're killing everythingthat's good in their gut as well
, not just the urethia, but allthe good microbiome that they
need to stay healthy soprevention is really, really
important and giving your dogsall of the good stuff which
which um like I said, for meit's bug canine.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You may find an alternative and I'm not saying,
just use this one, but I thinkit's really.
I just think it's great thatwe've got this option, um for
dogs.
Now, if we think about umtypical wormers and typical um
like the bravectos and theserestos, what damage are we
doing to the environment?
Potentially by putting these onour dogs or in our dogs?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
well, the bit that really frightened me was a lot
of the chemicals that are insome of these spot-on treatments
are actually bannedagriculturally, so they're not
used on the foods that we eat.
When they're being grownthey're banned, yet it's
absolutely fine for them to beput in a spot-on treatment that
we're putting on our dogs andyou're not only putting it on
your dog.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So number one for me, the poor dog.
Like I don't like it for thedog and the fact that that is
going to travel through yourdog's organs, it's going to be
in their organs.
And then we worry about why,like, cancers on on the rise or
all of these um sort of fatal,um sort of diseases are
potentially um, like autoimmunetriggers and things like that.
Like for me, this is really biginformation that we need to at
(08:15):
least ask the question.
So the whole, like, sign upmonthly and do the monthly, get
the wormer and do the monthly,get the flea treatment and do
the monthly.
Like, how about the environment?
How about the fact that's goinginto your dog?
How about the fact you're goingto put your hand your dog?
How about the fact your dog'sgoing to rub up and down your
sofa or hang around your baby orhang around your child?
Like for me, I don't want it onthe dog, I don't want it in the
house, I don't want it aroundthe bees, I don't want it around
(08:38):
the wildlife population, Idon't want it in water streams.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I don't want it for the for it to end up in the
water system.
Um, you wash your handsafterwards.
There's all these healthwarnings on, if it comes in
contact with you, what youshould do, and you're putting it
on your dog's skin and um like,just just not brush over that
one.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
you are told not to touch it, you're told not to put
it anywhere near, you're toldto wear gloves while putting it
on.
And then you're putting it onyour loved one or your, your
beloved pet.
Like for me, my pets are family.
When I lost my dad and when Ilost my dog, I cannot tell you
that like one was bigger thanthe other, like they were both
catastrophic for me.
(09:19):
I love my dog, like I love myfamily and for me, I cannot
imagine why I would want to putthat on my dog when you're told
not to allow it to touch skin.
It's not meant to touch skin.
Why is it touching theirs?
And I want to know.
For me, I'm actively upset if Ineed to use a treatment like
that, and the only time I wouldever consider using it is if I
(09:41):
am forced to use it on travel.
Other than that, I really don'twant to use it, and I don't
want to use it in that situationeither.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
What about the bee population?
What was the stat on that?
Because we had a stat there.
Yeah, so one dose for a largedog of a spot-on treatment can
kill 25 million bees and we'vealready got a declining bee
population in the world and weneed the bees to help things get
pollinated and you look atthings like the fish, and, and
the fact that we number one weover fish anyway, but number two
the water sort of systems, andand the fish, they're all in
decline.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, everything is in decline.
We wonder what on earth we'redoing to the environment.
So, whilst I'm not some crazyeco warrior, I am absolutely
passionate about us doing thebest by our dogs, the best by
our families, the best by ourpeople and the best by our
health and everybody's longevity, ultimately.
So let's quickly go into bugcanine.
So pumpkin seed why are wefeeling?
(10:34):
Pumpkin seed?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
so pumpkin seeds great at removing worms, so it's
going to help clear out thedigestive system.
It's absolutely brilliant.
There's an amino acid in itthat actually kills the worms,
so it's brilliant.
It's natural and you know what?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
the thing is, everything's so ground so well.
This was's brilliant, it'snatural.
It's pumpkin seeds and, and youknow what the thing is,
everything's so ground so well.
This was tokyo's favorite tokyo.
If he could smell bug, he wason you like.
He was like a rat.
She was like.
I love that stuff and that forme is also important that this
is stuff that I put in theirfood and my dogs.
I feel really good aboutfeeding them.
I feel really good aboutfeeding them.
I feel really like it's a goodpart of my day.
(11:09):
Now there's loads ofingredients here, so we'll just
run through a few.
But black cumin seed I knowduring covid it was one of the
oils that I I took.
Um, oh my god, it tasteddisgusting, so I'm not going to
recommend you take it.
But it is in here and it'sblended really nicely.
You really can't take it like,taste it rather.
The best bit is, if you want totake this too, you can put it
in your curry.
There is nothing stopping youeverything it smells perfect,
(11:30):
everything is perfect.
And the other thing is it's allhuman grade.
So if you get anything fromwe're talking about bug canine,
from aok9, it's all human grade.
So it's all human grade, youcan take anything yourself.
In fact, I, just before I gotout here, I had a quick mushroom
coffee.
So I had a shroom, a shroomlatte, and why I've just had a
full-on day, so I had a shroom,a shroom latte, and why I've
just had a full on day.
(11:51):
It's been a great full on day,but I was like I'm just gonna
have a boost and mushrooms, forme, are a great thing to take in
the morning and a great thingto take in the evening.
So I tend to have a scoop inthe morning, a scoop in the
evening, shroom, amazing.
So yeah, and if it's going to bea code, I've just decided this
right now, and there's going tobe a code and it's going to be
love dogs L-O-V-E-D-O-G-S.
(12:14):
So it's going to be love dogsand it's going to give you £10
off your first order.
So it's going to give you £10off your first order.
Or, if you've already had yourfirst order, you know what you
can use £10 off anyway.
We love you, so you can get £10off your order.
Now we've got a few otheringredients.
I don't know if you want totackle a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yes.
So there's fennel in there.
I absolutely love fennel.
I had it in my salad actuallyat lunchtime.
You've got ginger.
Ginger is really good forinflammation, overall health.
There's so many health benefitsof ginger.
I put it in just abouteverything I can possibly put it
, I love all your ginger dishes.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You have so many lovely ginger dishes and I love
your ginger juice and I loveyour ginger cordial.
I love all of your gingerdishes.
So, yeah, ginger is good.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And yeah, people might be wondering why I'm
wearing a chef's smock, but Ilove to cook and I love to cook
for my dogs.
So the fact that it's gotcinnamon, fenugreek, peppermint,
these are all things that I putin my own food.
But for me, I'm trying tofigure out how much do I put in.
So one of the common questionsI get from people who join me on
my bake-offs is how much ofthis do I feed my dog?
(13:10):
So, to help them out withkeeping their tummies healthy,
they want to know if I'm goingto feed pumpkin seed.
How much do I feed?
Just get both canine.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
You don't have to worry about measuring, you don't
have to worry about figuring itout that is the reason that I
started um, bringing a few ofthe supplements to the to the
fore, like the reason I broughtout shroom was because I wanted
all of those shrooms and Icouldn't get a hold of them in
one packet.
And I was like you know what?
It'd be way easier if we justhad our own and that's what I
gave my dogs and that's what Igave them before, but it was a
lot more expensive.
When you're trying to combinefive and you're trying to figure
(13:40):
out and your blend isn't donefor you, I like a done for you
and I'd like to know like thishas.
This has got great sort of longlasting life on it and at the
same time you open it and italways is consistent.
It always smells great.
But yeah, it's all blended foryou.
So for me it's a done for yousolution.
You haven't got to think aboutit.
For me, my dogs get it all thetime, all year round.
I might give it a little bitmore heavily during the summer
(14:05):
and the warmer months and alittle bit less in tip for
feeding for you.
Yes, I love doing this.
I just added a bit more at homeand I make one tub and I put my
shroom, my bug, my prime, uh,minor, on some pro bio, um, some
flexi.
I put them all in, I mix it up,I go roughly right.
I own 10 dogs.
I look at them, I see how greatthey're looking or not, and if
(14:25):
they're not looking great, Imight add say, for example, the
skin's not looking great, Imight add some more prime and
shine.
Or say, for example, they'vegot slightly dodgy tummies, I
might add some more pro bio.
Or say, for example, it's likeI've seen ticks on other
people's dogs, I'm like, right,let's add another pack of bug in
here.
Yeah, so I just will tweak andplay with it.
I, I tweak and play and I thinkthe best bit is you can't
overdose.
And even better than that forme your dogs smell great from
(14:50):
having it, they look great fromhaving it.
You can't have this.
Oh, you can combine everything.
Yeah, so you can combineeverything.
So all of the range can be it'sherbs or herbs, so you can
combine them.
And if you think about why,without getting too
controversial pharmaceuticalcompanies, they make a heck of a
lot of money through lots ofdifferent things, from vaccines
to meds to other things.
Too controversialpharmaceutical companies are,
they make a heck of a lot ofmoney through, um, lots of
(15:10):
different things, from vaccinesto um, meds to other things.
And, of course, there's a placefor conventional medicine.
But so many herbalists and um,alternative options have been
squashed by by massivepharmaceutical companies, purely
driven by the fact that theyare like they're so up there the
pharmaceutical spaces, whereasfor me there's such a massive
(15:33):
place for herbs, there's amassive place for spices and
blends and natural options, andI I really I love that, since my
dogs have been doing this.
So we're talking like five years, but definitely three hard,
like three, where I reallyhaven't messed with it, five
where I think I was a bit scaredof taking them off, and we
understand if you are for me.
I have not had a worm countcome back with a problem.
(15:56):
They've all said they'recompletely clear and I think yet
some people are out theregetting their weekly monthly
drawn tool and getting theirbreveto and getting their
seresto and you're using anant's nest, guys, sorry, you're
using a bomb to kill an ant'snest.
Like this is mad.
And sometimes there's not evenan ant's nest.
In fact there's not even an ant, there's not even a remnant of
an ant like there's not even thedirt, like you know what.
(16:18):
That's a scary bit sometimes.
We're, we're, we're doing thetake the pill.
There's actually nothing wrong,like there's, there's nothing
there in so many dogs and I Ithink prevention for sure, and
like this, what I love is um,you've got um so many good
things in it that not only dothey not do any harm, but
(16:40):
they've got some lovely benefitsalongside.
Right, like preventatively,they've got some lovely benefits
, but also they do good yeah,yeah, it's all healthy for your
dog.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
There's other benefits, not just worms, fleas,
ticks, ear mites.
It's going to help out justwith their overall good health.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, good health, gut health, skin health, like I
love how my dogs look and smell.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I love the most that it's a powder form, so people
listening may not they can't seethe packet.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yes, so it understand powder form.
Powder form the reason we do itis the best um way of getting
the the best bang for your buck,really.
So it's the most efficacy forfor the gram.
So when you give your dog atablet, I think it can be up to
like 30 40 percent.
When you give your dog um apowder, it can be 80 plus.
So some of the powders arealmost 100.
So plaque, which we don't havehere with us, but plaque is
(17:27):
almost 100, yeah, in fact Ithink it is 100% efficacy or
usability, or the fact thateverything in it is used and
necessary and needed.
There's like no anything else.
You don't need anything to evenbind it or anything, whereas
most powders 80% plus mosttablets under 40, which is
insane.
So powder form is the way to gowith your own supplements.
(17:49):
And I said I take shroom myself, I could take bug myself in my
curries.
In fact we should put it in ournext curry, that's not a bad
idea.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Let's do it, or my chili let's do it next time.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
how about um the fact that so many dogs have problems
from vet treatments?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And I think this is really under known.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And it's not talked about.
So I had a client's dog not solong ago, had a treatment of
Brevecto and fitted very shortlyafter I'm talking, like within
four hours, and the vet saidnothing to do with it and
obviously a coincidence, but forme it was too major, too
catastrophic.
The dog didn't stop fittingafter that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So the dog has had a series of fits and uh, border
collie, um and tremors, seizures, um, really has continued with
issues and it never had provectobefore yeah, I had a client
this week actually that um cameto us for some help with their
dog and um her little Spaniel'sgot autoimmune issues and is
(18:47):
coming out the other side of it.
But they suspect it might havebeen from spot-on treatment plus
a few other things going on,but basically lost all its hair.
So she's actually looked intoit, did her own research and
she's bought AOK9 Bug andswapped to it and going the
whole natural route and the doglooks amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I think this is the biggest thing to know, guys,
that you don't.
You don't need to use thebravete, the seresto, the
drontal, um, especially not inthe uk.
I mean, do your own diligenceand research in different spaces
, but um, for me, there are somany things that are allowed in
animals that, like michelle said, abandon agriculture, yes, and
that scares me.
Huge risk to aquatic life, hugerisk to wildlife, huge risk,
(19:28):
risk to um, all of our, all ofour countryside, and yet, um,
off we go and we still pay our50 pound a month for our um
bravecta or our seresto orwhatever it is we might need.
Now, they, for me, are somethingthat you initially, when you
stop using them, you worry, youget anxious, you get upset, or a
flea or a tick or whatever elsecan still bite your dog.
(19:51):
It's just how quickly they dieafterwards really is what we're
looking at.
But for me, when I'mconsidering this, I genuinely
I'm trying to prevent it beforethey ever get near my dog.
So I really want my dog to tonot be attractive.
So a couple of other things weshould talk about.
Because I have a five-prongattack.
I use a shampoo, yes, and so myshampoo is bug canine shampoo.
(20:11):
And why do I use that?
Because I want them to be silky, smooth and so that nothing can
really grip on them.
Yeah, and I want them to besmelling like repellent, and so
it smells amazing actually soyou've got lavender eucalyptus
witch hazel and neem oil.
So lovely, lovely, natural,natural, natural ingredients
again, and lovely essential oilsand that just smells amazing.
(20:32):
So you have a sniff and so Iuse that once.
That's my number one.
So I make sure my dog is um isbathed, and not constantly, but
just when I need to.
I'm going to use that becauseit's preventative.
Again, I use my bug canine food.
Mine get fed raw food.
I mix it with their othersupplements.
They get fed mixed in the raw.
If I'm not going to feed raw, Imight mix it in a raw egg.
I don't know what else peoplemight do so we.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Um, I basically like my lunchbox so, and I might have
stolen an egg from your chickencoop, um, but it's really
simple.
Um, I had a banana in mylunchbox so I chopped that up.
We can put the powder in, mashthe banana up.
A bit of yogurt sharing sharingis caring, um, but some yogurt
mix some bug canine in, andyogurt's really good for my dogs
.
Bananas are really good, eggsreally good as well.
(21:13):
So you want to keep it simpleand I know that they're getting
all good things when I see youcould just mix your supplement
with that, so it doesn't need tobe.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
If you feed kibble, you can just use, maybe, a raw
egg.
A regular day is fantastic foryour dog, or another thing that
might be good for your dog um,banana, like michelle said.
Um, maybe you're cooking somemints for yourself and you could
add your own mints, so I boughtsome sardines today.
Actually, here's an interestingone sardines have been
overfished and, um, basicallythey won't be able to get them
fresh over the counter from nowon, we they?
(21:42):
there's a ban here on on fishingthem, so shocking, interesting.
So I mean getting tins stillbecause of the fact that they've
been frozen for a long time, soyou will not get them fresh
right now.
Sardines and mackerel it'scrazy, yeah, and I eat a lot of
them, and it's because obviously, the world wants oily fish, so
um so yeah, but yeah, sardinesand tuna.
You can put them in somethinglike that.
A little bit of that is great.
(22:03):
So they take the supplement.
So that's internal, everythingin it's great peppermint, zinc,
selenium, vitamin A, fenugreek,cinnamon, ginger, fennel, black
cumin seed, tasty, yummy pumpkinseed all of the good stuff
smells amazing.
We've shampooed, now we'regoing to spray.
So we're going to spray.
Now you can spray routinely,like before you go out on a walk
or before you go near woodlandor moorland or anywhere that you
(22:24):
think you're going to be introuble, maybe at dog shows or
around other dogs, around withpeople.
Your dog's going to smellamazing.
And here's how much I trust theproduct and I think this is
really important.
So I trust the product.
Where am I putting the shelf?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
all around your neck and in your, in your jumper as
well and I have no problemputting that on myself.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I would never put frontline on myself.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I would never, ever put spot on my skin and I use it
actually when I'm outside inthe evenings.
We're starting to get midges.
I'm an absolute midge magnet.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
They're all around my head, all around my face and my
ankles.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I get little tiny bites on my ankles.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah, I spray it on myself, yeah, and it's lovely
for that, as is calm bomb,actually, and bug bomb they're
both really really nice.
So it smells.
They smell great, don't they?
They smell great, and the factthat you're willing to put
things on your skin, I think,tells you a lot.
So for me, I'm very.
That's my favorite.
I think that's my favorite.
So we're now using the balm.
So the balm I put around mydog's neck, under my dog's arms,
(23:21):
um it, this could be sold inlike a neil jodd, like it is
like that good um, it justsmells amazing.
That, for me, is my favorite, soif you haven't already that's
that's my favorite of the smells.
So that smells amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It fits in really nicely with what I've been doing
with myself.
So I've been getting away fromchemicals, so I've changed to a
natural deodorant.
Yeah, I don't really wearmakeup.
I try to put natural creams onmy skin because you're absorbing
the toxins.
So if I'm looking at that formy own health, for the cleaners
that I'm using in my house, thisfits nicely with what I'm doing
for my dogs?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean essential oils where you
can.
There is so much good in whatwe're doing here in my opinion.
It's funny you know what?
The AOK9's biggest sellingsupplement has always been Calm,
but interestingly this iscoming up to rival it.
It doesn't surprise me.
I am so happy with that, I'm soproud of that.
Like from a supplement thatnever had a like a market here
(24:16):
to being like a real boom, likeI love that.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It tells you how curious people are getting Well,
you get side effects from aspoton treatment and it can
cause nervous system effects.
So I had a client that wasgrappling with a dry eye on her
little dog and going back andforth with the vets and it'd
been going on for ages.
She kept a diary and sherealized that every time her dog
got spot-on treatment the dryeye popped in.
(24:41):
So she asked the vet and thevet was like oh, absolutely, it
can cause nervous system issues.
Stop the spot on treatment.
Eyes are clear, no issueswhatsoever absolutely shocking.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, and for me there just is no need, like
there's no need.
The other thing is a newprescription needed, here you
just grab it right, yeah, youdon't have to get any
prescription, you don't have tovisit, you don't have to do
anything and I love the fact.
I love, I love my vet.
I really love my vet.
She's such a lovely lady, but Idon't want to see her for for
this.
I want to like give my dogs thebest stuff.
I don't want to give them thatstuff on their body.
(25:13):
I don't want to put it nearthem.
Now, if I do get a tick on a dogand, like I said, I haven't had
one this year which I'm reallyhappy with and I'm going to use
a tick twister, I'm going to usea tick twister.
I'm going to use that ticktwister to get it straight off
and it's going to come off asquick as possible.
I'm going to spin it off andoff it goes and I'm not having
it there.
I will kill it.
I'm sorry for that, but I willkill it and squish it with their
head and then it's gone and Idon't want the chance of that
(25:35):
one coming back.
And I haven't had to take anyoff and my dogs I have had to
take one off a client yeah, sowe've had a client with one
which I was again saying youguys need to spray yourself with
bug canine and you need to putyour bug canine on and you can
use all of this.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
That's the human, yeah, the human, when she's
saying the client, the human hadit.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The human had it.
The human had the tick, whichwas scary.
Yeah, he on his chest.
Now, if my dog does have a biteor any type of bite, you can
use a soothing canine now again.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
How lovely does soothing smell.
I use it on myself, so, um, Iget rubs on my hands from the
horses and from little nicksoccasionally.
Oh, I absolutely love it.
I have to keep stocked up on it.
I love it before it gets to thedogs.
I mean, I've used it.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I love it.
The other thing is really funny, classic.
I had her out the other day andwhat did she try and and do.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
She was licking it, she liked to eat it.
Yeah, she was like licking thepot.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
And the fun thing is here everything in it's great
and you can see why she'slicking it.
It's jojoba oil, it's coconutoil, it's really lovely
calendula, it's good stuff, likeit's really good stuff, one I
do use myself.
I've been abroad a few times inthe last five years.
Um, and I've taken that with meand if I've got a bite, or if
I've got like a mozzie bite or aum, like an itchy spot from um,
(26:51):
any sort of like midges, that'sbrilliant.
Yeah, so you can put that righton as well.
So really, really nice to um,calm, a calm, a bite down.
I've had a few my face whichhaven't been nice.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Again put that one on and so again another really
nice use for it yeah, andsomething that we've not talked
about, which I think isimportant for everybody to
realize.
We know about it withantibiotics, antibiotics
becoming resistant, so bacteriabecoming resistant to
antibiotics.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I should say it's happening with the tick
treatments the they've been usedfor so long and they've been
used so numerous as well, like,routinely, like they've been
used every week, month, um sortof regular, regular, regular,
regular, regular, and they'vebeen used so like, routinely,
like they've been used everyweek, month, um sort of regular,
regular, regular, regular,regular, and they haven't
changed anything in them.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
No, it's just natural selection the, the fleas, the
ticks, um the bad guys.
Basically, some of them aresurviving, they're resistant to
it, they're multiplying and thenext minute you've got a spot-on
treatment that's not working atall.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And you've got a dog that's got fleas and and we've
got, like we said, 25 millioncats and dogs in the uk and a
huge proportion of those on themonthly like vet monthly clubs.
I can categorically say I willnever be finding myself on any
vet monthly club for my dogs andmy treatments why not do this
monthly absolutely?
absolutely, in fact, if you dodo a subscription, a bug you get
(28:04):
.
I think it's 15, 20 percent off.
It's, you get good, you get agood.
Um, in fact, I think if you Idon't know, it depends when
you're listening to this but Ithink it's 26 pounds when you
subscribe to it, which is a megabargain, and for some dogs
that's going to last them um to50 days.
A good, yeah, a good, a good 50to 100 days, potentially with
your real small dogs.
Um, so it's.
(28:24):
It's beautiful ingredients andrepels nasty parasites, controls
and halts any infection.
It's a 50 day plus supply,depending on the size of your
size of your dog, and I just, Ijust think it's the only way I
want to treat my dog.
I don't want to treat my dog um, any other way.
I want them to have the bestand I want them to be supported
naturally and it's got so manygood things in it.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's going to help out their microbiome and
basically, by keeping theirtummy healthy, there's no room
for anything else to live there.
Yeah, so made it.
You've made it unattractive,exactly, exactly, and there's
nutritional benefits to bug aswell.
Not just keeping the bad guysaway, but actually it's all
natural, natural ingredientsthat are going to actually help
your dog promote their health.
I just smell it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
It's so nice, oh, yeah, so.
So guys, loads and loads andloads to think about.
Now, if you're sat on the fenceand you just want to ask some
questions, I think that's a goodplace to be Like sit on the
fence and ask some questions,just at least stay curious.
If you want to try it, you'vegot the code.
So you've got your Love Dogscode.
Your Love Dogs is going to getyou £10 off.
Anything.
Even if you head over there andbuy something like like this is
(29:40):
£16.
Just buy that and get yourselflike a complete bargain so you
can get anything.
We need to tell them where theyneed to head over.
Yeah, where do you need to goto?
A hyphen o k number nine dotcom.
There you go.
It's aok9.com, a hyphen o knine, the number dot com.
There you go, easy, and you'regoing to type in the code so
that you can get your love dogsdiscount.
And we love dogs.
We want dogs to succeed when itcomes to this and we also want
to prevent dogs having all ofthese like autoimmune, early
(30:03):
cancers, so many struggles, likenervous system issues and
fitting and all of the thingsthat are kind of squashed and
hidden.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
But you know what they're out there yes and
they're pretty darn scary andand they're life-changing for
some dogs right, massivelylife-changing definitely, and
for the owners as well, because,I mean, my dogs are my member
of my family, like um, I don'twant anything bad to happen to
them.
But then, when you look morebroadly, we're affecting the
waterways, we're affecting thestreams, we're affecting what
lives in the aquatic lifewildlife by putting these
(30:37):
treatments on our dogs.
And they're only just realizingit.
So they now have the, they'reable to actually test the water
and see what's in it, and theyhaven't tested all the waterways
yet.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
But what they're finding are they're finding the
ingredients that are in thesespot-on treatments in the
waterways and it's it's killingthe fish so, guys, you have the
opportunity to explore somethingnew, to do something different,
to test the water for you, andwe've we've already, we've
already trodden the path likewe've trodden the path.
We're five years in.
We've trodden the path and Iown 10 dogs, so I've trodden it
well and I know that with amulti-dog household it works.
(31:13):
I know that it's very, verydoable.
You can test their poo with oneof the worm counts that you
just send online.
I would always use it for abouta month and then I would send
my test away so it can be usedalongside testing.
So, you, at least a month, Iwould get them on it and I
personally would never use anyother worms again unless they
had a real issue.
And obviously, if you're in themiddle of an infestation, you've
got a massive issue.
(31:33):
Slightly different, yeah,slightly different like you're
not, you're not in the samespace.
We're talking, uh, people thatgo in week by week, day by day,
month by month, and carry onusing things without ever doing
due diligence and asking thequestions do you actually need
it?
Uh, can you do anything elsepreventatively?
Is there space for anythingelse?
And for me there really is.
And and there's a really nicespace.
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
The other thing you can get is bundle so you can
bundle all of these and thatdoes save you.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I know you got one recently, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
yeah, yeah, and it's really good.
It all comes all packaged upfor you, um and um.
You're good to go, you don'thave to think about anything.
So the shampoo, the balm, thespray, the tick twisters and the
bug supplement, you get it asone big bundle.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
So a nice little defense kit, and that's what we
want is we want you to feel likeyou can defend your dog without
having to use something thatreally isn't good for you or
your house or your family oryour dog.
And and, of course, yeah, itmight kill fleas, but what else
does it cause?
And I think that's where we'vegot to ask those questions.
So please share this message.
Yes, because I know I talked toa lot of people about it and
(32:33):
they often ask me like how andand where and why and and for my
dogs.
I'll give you five ways I mightfeed it.
I might give it in their mincemix, in a um, in a calm or a
filled bone or something.
They can have it in their, intheir mix.
I might give it um in their um,raw egg or yogurt or banana.
How about you, michelle?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
so I, um, I get the AOK9 squeezy tubes and I'll take
an egg and some of their rawand I mix their supplements in
it and I'll take this on a walkwith me and they lick the food
out of it.
Um, I also feed, um, I use it'sgetting warmer here in the uk,
so happy about this.
Yes, um, and I use fresh canineto keep them well hydrated.
So I'll take some of the bugcanine, I'll sprinkle it into
(33:15):
their hydration mix and theydrink it and they absolutely
love it.
So I know they're gettingeverything in them.
So while they're gettinghydrated with their fresh canine
, they're getting their bugcanine too.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Another thing that I know Michelle and I both do is
sometimes we'll got a little bitof foraging and we'll maybe
grab some sticky weed or somewild garlic or some other things
, and garlic's another one.
So many people think that dogsaren't allowed to have garlic,
but they are absolutely um soit's got.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial
.
There's so many health benefits.
It's good for you, good foryour cardiovascular system,
great for your heart.
Um so many reasons to take it.
Um so yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Liza made the most amazing wild garlic pesto the
other day, so definitely eatyour wild garlic and your dog
can have it too.
Um, but I definitely know formy dogs.
I might give them theirsupplement in something like an
enrichment bowl, yes, so theymight have it in in in one of
those or they might have it intheir squeezy tube.
But I was going to say theother thing we both do is we, we
go foraging and then we mightblend all that down and you
(34:12):
could add your um bug canine tothat blend, yes, and then you
just pop that blend out intotheir meal.
So if their meal is a raw meal,you pop your blend and then
you've got your veggie mix inthe meal and it's already
pre-made and I love doing that,yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
So I'm really sad because wild garlic is starting
to disappear, so I picked awhole bunch and I blended it in
my blender and I put it into icecube trays Nice.
So then the bug canines in it.
It's all good to go.
I can pop one out, I can add itto their meal, and it makes it
really simple and really easy,just really easy, like really
easy.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
So, guys, loads of different ways you can use it,
loads of different ways you canmake it work for you and your
dog.
Loads of different options.
The biggest thing we want youto do is go and try it.
Talk to a friend about it, talkto your neighbor, your sister,
your mother, your brother, yourlong lost lover.
Talk to people, share themessage.
If you want to be a partner ofaocanine, there's also partner
opportunities.
Just email us or check out thewebsite and we'll we'll give you
(35:03):
a hand, just to get you onboard.
The best part is, this ismoving fast, like it's
life-changing, it'srevolutionary.
Herbs have power and these guyshave superpowers.
You're using antioxidants,you're using all of the good
stuff, you're using foods thatreally are paving the way of the
future and I really feel in thenext five years, you're going
(35:24):
to see so much boom in thisspace because people are
starting to really wake up andthat wake up is quite exciting.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Oh, it is.
It's really exciting and it'sjust going to make us all
healthier.
It's going to make our dogshealthier, which means you're
going to live longer.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yeah, that's super nice and I think for you guys
today, if you want to take onestep, go over and take the quiz
on the AO Canine site there's aquiz over there or maybe jump in
and literally get involved inthe Love Dogs Code.
You get £10 off your your order.
You can get things from like 15pounds, so you go and grab
something.
Whatever you might grab,whatever you might find, go and
(35:59):
grab something for you, make itspecial.
Thank you, michelle, forjoining me.
We are changing the path of uh,dogs and treatments.
I know it, one paw at a time,and we'll see you next week
where I know you're going to bepretty excited about the
learning.
Share this podcast, review thispodcast.
We thank you for being here,for learning and for staying
(36:21):
curious, and we'll see you realsoon.
Remember, guys, stay sexy.
Welcome to the Absolute Dog Sex in a Squirrel
podcast.
I'm Lauren Langman.
I'm one of the world's leadingdog trainers and it's my mission
to help owners become theirdog's top priority.
In each episode, you'lldiscover how to gain trust and
communicate with your dog likenever before, creating
unbreakable bonds that make youthe most exciting part of their
world.
Okay, today we are talking bug.
(00:31):
Now, when I say bug, we'retalking all of the itchy flea,
tick, giardia, worms, all of thenasties, all of the things that
you just don't want in yourhouse, you don't want in your
dog, in fact, you just don'twant right not at all, and if I
start itching I promise I don'thave any, but just talking about
those things makes me like alittle bit a few funny stories
(00:51):
about uh, people and wormers,but anyway, we won't go there.
Let's not go there now.
I've seen one of the stats onthe board and it's 15 of dogs
have giardia.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yes, like that scares me, oh, my goodness.
I mean.
Then, when you look at itfurther, they estimate there's
roughly 25 million dogs and catsin the uk.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So when you do the math on that one, it's 3.75
million potential dogs and catscan be carrying giardia and if
you think about it with theshedding, the fact that then if
those say four million areshedding um at the same time, uh
, that potentially means thespread is quite big.
Now let's talk fleas, ticks,worms, giardia, all of the
(01:30):
things.
Prevention like prevention,because I think this is big.
Now, 25 years ago, I would notquestion what my vet suggested.
I put my dog and I love my vet,I really love my vet and my vet
practice.
They're just fantastic.
So big shout out to my lovelyvet and we would do things like
frontline and and more recently,things like provecto and um,
(01:50):
seresto, collars and and drontaland all the other things.
And I suppose about five yearsago I started to really question
it.
I had a dog with um cancer Ishe was young diagnosed like
three years old, diagnosed withquite severe cancer, melanoma,
and malignant, like it wasmalignant, it was potentially
life-threatening, and it reallymade me question a few things.
(02:12):
And my dad the same.
He was diagnosed with cancerand it was fatal, like it was
going to be a final cancer, itwas going to be a non-curative
and it just made me think aboutwhat we put on our hands, what
we put in our households, whatwe put on our skin, what we put
on our dog's skin, what we putin our environment, what we put
(02:33):
in our dog's food, what we maybeinject in our dogs or maybe
what we allow them to ingest orwe actively put on their skin,
and I suppose I got a bitcurious.
I a bit curious, I thinkprobably this is around seven
years ago, but around five yearsago, really curious and that's
when I started using um, morenatural herbal alternatives herb
(02:55):
would be the way that myclients like me to say it, but
herbal alternatives and I knowthat for me there is now a
better way.
Yes, and I have not looked back.
Now I can say that, uh, my dogwith cancer you know what she
has um was given only a threemonth um diagnosis and, and,
like you, will last three months.
We completely changed her diet.
(03:15):
We completely changed her, soshe went completely 100% raw.
So 100% raw.
And we stopped using any um vetprescribed treatments unless
under emergency.
For example, we would use likean antibiotic in emergency or a
anesthesia in in emergency, but100% raw.
We stopped using any vetprescribed treatments unless
under emergency.
For example, we would use likean antibiotic in emergency or an
anesthesia in emergency but wewouldn't use it sort of day to
day.
So I stopped using all sort ofvet prescribed chemical wormers
(03:35):
and I also started to T to testinstead of vaccinate, and it
really gave me a new sense ofpurpose in finding out way more
information for her.
Now, bug Canine we developed soBug Canine's here and since
then our dogs, your dogs, mydogs, have all had Bug Canine.
I think the very exciting thingis that I have 10 dogs and they
(03:59):
are all on Bug Canine in theirsupplement and especially where
I live like we live in an areathat's high ticks like yes, how
many sheep around here, michelle, uh, I dare not count.
This morning I had a barconversation.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
We were like but, but , but, but like it was so much
fun.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Liza was riding and they were buying back and well,
we thought we felt they were.
But you know what it's likewhen we're hacking.
I mean sheep everywhere, waymore sheep than population.
Yes, right, that like we areoutnumbered.
If they decided to turn on uslike we would be losing in the
battle.
Um, so yeah, the ticks areeverywhere, the jar is for sure
everywhere, and yet my dogstested.
(04:38):
Um, so we do like a worm countand uh, we obviously put our
hands all over our dogs andcheck and I haven't had any
ticks on my dogs this year andit's warm and it's wet and it's
damp, and so I've had no ticks,I've had no Giardia, I've had no
worms.
I do worm counts regularly andfor me and a group of 10 dogs,
that's massive, like what a win.
High five to this, because Ithink this is just.
(05:01):
I genuinely think it's prettybeautiful and it should be open.
It's open, it's open, good.
And when I open this packet,what am I going to smell?
Here, michelle, I want a currydinner.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I already know what it smells like.
It smells amazing.
But for anybody who's listening, who's not in the UK, and
certainly I wasn't aware of thisuntil I moved here.
But Giardia is a parasite and alot of dogs are carriers of it
but show no symptoms.
But show no symptoms and it'sespecially where we live here.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Anywhere that's got a lot of moisture, high
populations of dogs, of dogparks, busy areas, is
transmitted through poo,essentially um, and so if your
dog's out there sniffing poo orlicking the ground, or, and and
you know, if you own a male dog,they do things like that right,
females too.
So I'm not going to just go oneway or the other but males in
particular, are going to goaround the ground licking the
floor at times, because that iskind of what they do with
(05:51):
licking.
Licking girl wee and things likethat is what you tend to find
dogs doing.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
But yeah, for sure it's big right yep, and it can
be in water, contaminated water.
It's a lot more prevalent thanpeople actually realized and in
some areas it's up to 45 percentof the dog population actually
has it, which is is crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Now, if we look at the ingredients here, we've got
inulin, pumpkin seed, blackcumin seed, fennel, ginger,
cinnamon, fenugreek, peppermint,zinc, selenium, vitamin a and
great probiotics.
What really?
I'm very excited by thisbecause the world's waking up to
it, yeah, and I don't mindwhether people use bug, canine
or um any other, um, great herbsor herbs on the market.
(06:28):
For me, this is the best.
That is why I use it and that'swhy, um, we love it and we're
really proud of, like, the dogswho are, who are looking so
great and feeling so much better.
I feel for not having thingslike seresto, collars and um,
all of the, um potential nastiesthat we might be putting on
them and in them, like, like,for me, it really scares me that
you get them to ingestsomething that is going to go um
(06:49):
and basically get involved intheir internal organs but that
freaks me out and and it's um,there's not many things that are
actually can kill somethinglike urethra, so you're limited
in what you can actually giveyour dog.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Um, and it's an antibiotic basically.
So you're killing everythingthat's good in their gut as well
, not just the urethia, but allthe good microbiome that they
need to stay healthy soprevention is really, really
important and giving your dogsall of the good stuff which
which um like I said, for meit's bug canine.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You may find an alternative and I'm not saying,
just use this one, but I thinkit's really.
I just think it's great thatwe've got this option, um for
dogs.
Now, if we think about umtypical wormers and typical um
like the bravectos and theserestos, what damage are we
doing to the environment?
Potentially by putting these onour dogs or in our dogs?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
well, the bit that really frightened me was a lot
of the chemicals that are insome of these spot-on treatments
are actually bannedagriculturally, so they're not
used on the foods that we eat.
When they're being grownthey're banned, yet it's
absolutely fine for them to beput in a spot-on treatment that
we're putting on our dogs andyou're not only putting it on
your dog.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So number one for me, the poor dog.
Like I don't like it for thedog and the fact that that is
going to travel through yourdog's organs, it's going to be
in their organs.
And then we worry about why,like, cancers on on the rise or
all of these um sort of fatal,um sort of diseases are
potentially um, like autoimmunetriggers and things like that.
Like for me, this is really biginformation that we need to at
(08:15):
least ask the question.
So the whole, like, sign upmonthly and do the monthly, get
the wormer and do the monthly,get the flea treatment and do
the monthly.
Like, how about the environment?
How about the fact that's goinginto your dog?
How about the fact you're goingto put your hand your dog?
How about the fact your dog'sgoing to rub up and down your
sofa or hang around your baby orhang around your child?
Like for me, I don't want it onthe dog, I don't want it in the
house, I don't want it aroundthe bees, I don't want it around
(08:38):
the wildlife population, Idon't want it in water streams.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I don't want it for the for it to end up in the
water system.
Um, you wash your handsafterwards.
There's all these healthwarnings on, if it comes in
contact with you, what youshould do, and you're putting it
on your dog's skin and um like,just just not brush over that
one.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
you are told not to touch it, you're told not to put
it anywhere near, you're toldto wear gloves while putting it
on.
And then you're putting it onyour loved one or your, your
beloved pet.
Like for me, my pets are family.
When I lost my dad and when Ilost my dog, I cannot tell you
that like one was bigger thanthe other, like they were both
catastrophic for me.
(09:19):
I love my dog, like I love myfamily and for me, I cannot
imagine why I would want to putthat on my dog when you're told
not to allow it to touch skin.
It's not meant to touch skin.
Why is it touching theirs?
And I want to know.
For me, I'm actively upset if Ineed to use a treatment like
that, and the only time I wouldever consider using it is if I
(09:41):
am forced to use it on travel.
Other than that, I really don'twant to use it, and I don't
want to use it in that situationeither.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
What about the bee population?
What was the stat on that?
Because we had a stat there.
Yeah, so one dose for a largedog of a spot-on treatment can
kill 25 million bees and we'vealready got a declining bee
population in the world and weneed the bees to help things get
pollinated and you look atthings like the fish, and, and
the fact that we number one weover fish anyway, but number two
the water sort of systems, andand the fish, they're all in
decline.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, everything is in decline.
We wonder what on earth we'redoing to the environment.
So, whilst I'm not some crazyeco warrior, I am absolutely
passionate about us doing thebest by our dogs, the best by
our families, the best by ourpeople and the best by our
health and everybody's longevity, ultimately.
So let's quickly go into bugcanine.
So pumpkin seed why are wefeeling?
(10:34):
Pumpkin seed?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
so pumpkin seeds great at removing worms, so it's
going to help clear out thedigestive system.
It's absolutely brilliant.
There's an amino acid in itthat actually kills the worms,
so it's brilliant.
It's natural and you know what?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
the thing is, everything's so ground so well.
This was's brilliant, it'snatural.
It's pumpkin seeds and, and youknow what the thing is,
everything's so ground so well.
This was tokyo's favorite tokyo.
If he could smell bug, he wason you like.
He was like a rat.
She was like.
I love that stuff and that forme is also important that this
is stuff that I put in theirfood and my dogs.
I feel really good aboutfeeding them.
I feel really good aboutfeeding them.
I feel really like it's a goodpart of my day.
(11:09):
Now there's loads ofingredients here, so we'll just
run through a few.
But black cumin seed I knowduring covid it was one of the
oils that I I took.
Um, oh my god, it tasteddisgusting, so I'm not going to
recommend you take it.
But it is in here and it'sblended really nicely.
You really can't take it like,taste it rather.
The best bit is, if you want totake this too, you can put it
in your curry.
There is nothing stopping youeverything it smells perfect,
(11:30):
everything is perfect.
And the other thing is it's allhuman grade.
So if you get anything fromwe're talking about bug canine,
from aok9, it's all human grade.
So it's all human grade, youcan take anything yourself.
In fact, I, just before I gotout here, I had a quick mushroom
coffee.
So I had a shroom, a shroomlatte, and why I've just had a
full-on day, so I had a shroom,a shroom latte, and why I've
just had a full on day.
(11:51):
It's been a great full on day,but I was like I'm just gonna
have a boost and mushrooms, forme, are a great thing to take in
the morning and a great thingto take in the evening.
So I tend to have a scoop inthe morning, a scoop in the
evening, shroom, amazing.
So yeah, and if it's going to bea code, I've just decided this
right now, and there's going tobe a code and it's going to be
love dogs L-O-V-E-D-O-G-S.
(12:14):
So it's going to be love dogsand it's going to give you £10
off your first order.
So it's going to give you £10off your first order.
Or, if you've already had yourfirst order, you know what you
can use £10 off anyway.
We love you, so you can get £10off your order.
Now we've got a few otheringredients.
I don't know if you want totackle a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yes.
So there's fennel in there.
I absolutely love fennel.
I had it in my salad actuallyat lunchtime.
You've got ginger.
Ginger is really good forinflammation, overall health.
There's so many health benefitsof ginger.
I put it in just abouteverything I can possibly put it
, I love all your ginger dishes.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You have so many lovely ginger dishes and I love
your ginger juice and I loveyour ginger cordial.
I love all of your gingerdishes.
So, yeah, ginger is good.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And yeah, people might be wondering why I'm
wearing a chef's smock, but Ilove to cook and I love to cook
for my dogs.
So the fact that it's gotcinnamon, fenugreek, peppermint,
these are all things that I putin my own food.
But for me, I'm trying tofigure out how much do I put in.
So one of the common questionsI get from people who join me on
my bake-offs is how much ofthis do I feed my dog?
(13:10):
So, to help them out withkeeping their tummies healthy,
they want to know if I'm goingto feed pumpkin seed.
How much do I feed?
Just get both canine.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
You don't have to worry about measuring, you don't
have to worry about figuring itout that is the reason that I
started um, bringing a few ofthe supplements to the to the
fore, like the reason I broughtout shroom was because I wanted
all of those shrooms and Icouldn't get a hold of them in
one packet.
And I was like you know what?
It'd be way easier if we justhad our own and that's what I
gave my dogs and that's what Igave them before, but it was a
lot more expensive.
When you're trying to combinefive and you're trying to figure
(13:40):
out and your blend isn't donefor you, I like a done for you
and I'd like to know like thishas.
This has got great sort of longlasting life on it and at the
same time you open it and italways is consistent.
It always smells great.
But yeah, it's all blended foryou.
So for me it's a done for yousolution.
You haven't got to think aboutit.
For me, my dogs get it all thetime, all year round.
I might give it a little bitmore heavily during the summer
(14:05):
and the warmer months and alittle bit less in tip for
feeding for you.
Yes, I love doing this.
I just added a bit more at homeand I make one tub and I put my
shroom, my bug, my prime, uh,minor, on some pro bio, um, some
flexi.
I put them all in, I mix it up,I go roughly right.
I own 10 dogs.
I look at them, I see how greatthey're looking or not, and if
(14:25):
they're not looking great, Imight add say, for example, the
skin's not looking great, Imight add some more prime and
shine.
Or say, for example, they'vegot slightly dodgy tummies, I
might add some more pro bio.
Or say, for example, it's likeI've seen ticks on other
people's dogs, I'm like, right,let's add another pack of bug in
here.
Yeah, so I just will tweak andplay with it.
I, I tweak and play and I thinkthe best bit is you can't
overdose.
And even better than that forme your dogs smell great from
(14:50):
having it, they look great fromhaving it.
You can't have this.
Oh, you can combine everything.
Yeah, so you can combineeverything.
So all of the range can be it'sherbs or herbs, so you can
combine them.
And if you think about why,without getting too
controversial pharmaceuticalcompanies, they make a heck of a
lot of money through lots ofdifferent things, from vaccines
to meds to other things.
Too controversialpharmaceutical companies are,
they make a heck of a lot ofmoney through, um, lots of
(15:10):
different things, from vaccinesto um, meds to other things.
And, of course, there's a placefor conventional medicine.
But so many herbalists and um,alternative options have been
squashed by by massivepharmaceutical companies, purely
driven by the fact that theyare like they're so up there the
pharmaceutical spaces, whereasfor me there's such a massive
(15:33):
place for herbs, there's amassive place for spices and
blends and natural options, andI I really I love that, since my
dogs have been doing this.
So we're talking like five years, but definitely three hard,
like three, where I reallyhaven't messed with it, five
where I think I was a bit scaredof taking them off, and we
understand if you are for me.
I have not had a worm countcome back with a problem.
(15:56):
They've all said they'recompletely clear and I think yet
some people are out theregetting their weekly monthly
drawn tool and getting theirbreveto and getting their
seresto and you're using anant's nest, guys, sorry, you're
using a bomb to kill an ant'snest.
Like this is mad.
And sometimes there's not evenan ant's nest.
In fact there's not even an ant, there's not even a remnant of
an ant like there's not even thedirt, like you know what.
(16:18):
That's a scary bit sometimes.
We're, we're, we're doing thetake the pill.
There's actually nothing wrong,like there's, there's nothing
there in so many dogs and I Ithink prevention for sure, and
like this, what I love is um,you've got um so many good
things in it that not only dothey not do any harm, but
(16:40):
they've got some lovely benefitsalongside.
Right, like preventatively,they've got some lovely benefits
, but also they do good yeah,yeah, it's all healthy for your
dog.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
There's other benefits, not just worms, fleas,
ticks, ear mites.
It's going to help out justwith their overall good health.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, good health, gut health, skin health, like I
love how my dogs look and smell.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I love the most that it's a powder form, so people
listening may not they can't seethe packet.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yes, so it understand powder form.
Powder form the reason we do itis the best um way of getting
the the best bang for your buck,really.
So it's the most efficacy forfor the gram.
So when you give your dog atablet, I think it can be up to
like 30 40 percent.
When you give your dog um apowder, it can be 80 plus.
So some of the powders arealmost 100.
So plaque, which we don't havehere with us, but plaque is
(17:27):
almost 100, yeah, in fact Ithink it is 100% efficacy or
usability, or the fact thateverything in it is used and
necessary and needed.
There's like no anything else.
You don't need anything to evenbind it or anything, whereas
most powders 80% plus mosttablets under 40, which is
insane.
So powder form is the way to gowith your own supplements.
(17:49):
And I said I take shroom myself, I could take bug myself in my
curries.
In fact we should put it in ournext curry, that's not a bad
idea.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Let's do it, or my chili let's do it next time.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
how about um the fact that so many dogs have problems
from vet treatments?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And I think this is really under known.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And it's not talked about.
So I had a client's dog not solong ago, had a treatment of
Brevecto and fitted very shortlyafter I'm talking, like within
four hours, and the vet saidnothing to do with it and
obviously a coincidence, but forme it was too major, too
catastrophic.
The dog didn't stop fittingafter that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So the dog has had a series of fits and uh, border
collie, um and tremors, seizures, um, really has continued with
issues and it never had provectobefore yeah, I had a client
this week actually that um cameto us for some help with their
dog and um her little Spaniel'sgot autoimmune issues and is
(18:47):
coming out the other side of it.
But they suspect it might havebeen from spot-on treatment plus
a few other things going on,but basically lost all its hair.
So she's actually looked intoit, did her own research and
she's bought AOK9 Bug andswapped to it and going the
whole natural route and the doglooks amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I think this is the biggest thing to know, guys,
that you don't.
You don't need to use thebravete, the seresto, the
drontal, um, especially not inthe uk.
I mean, do your own diligenceand research in different spaces
, but um, for me, there are somany things that are allowed in
animals that, like michelle said, abandon agriculture, yes, and
that scares me.
Huge risk to aquatic life, hugerisk to wildlife, huge risk,
(19:28):
risk to um, all of our, all ofour countryside, and yet, um,
off we go and we still pay our50 pound a month for our um
bravecta or our seresto orwhatever it is we might need.
Now, they, for me, are somethingthat you initially, when you
stop using them, you worry, youget anxious, you get upset, or a
flea or a tick or whatever elsecan still bite your dog.
(19:51):
It's just how quickly they dieafterwards really is what we're
looking at.
But for me, when I'mconsidering this, I genuinely
I'm trying to prevent it beforethey ever get near my dog.
So I really want my dog to tonot be attractive.
So a couple of other things weshould talk about.
Because I have a five-prongattack.
I use a shampoo, yes, and so myshampoo is bug canine shampoo.
(20:11):
And why do I use that?
Because I want them to be silky, smooth and so that nothing can
really grip on them.
Yeah, and I want them to besmelling like repellent, and so
it smells amazing actually soyou've got lavender eucalyptus
witch hazel and neem oil.
So lovely, lovely, natural,natural, natural ingredients
again, and lovely essential oilsand that just smells amazing.
(20:32):
So you have a sniff and so Iuse that once.
That's my number one.
So I make sure my dog is um isbathed, and not constantly, but
just when I need to.
I'm going to use that becauseit's preventative.
Again, I use my bug canine food.
Mine get fed raw food.
I mix it with their othersupplements.
They get fed mixed in the raw.
If I'm not going to feed raw, Imight mix it in a raw egg.
I don't know what else peoplemight do so we.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Um, I basically like my lunchbox so, and I might have
stolen an egg from your chickencoop, um, but it's really
simple.
Um, I had a banana in mylunchbox so I chopped that up.
We can put the powder in, mashthe banana up.
A bit of yogurt sharing sharingis caring, um, but some yogurt
mix some bug canine in, andyogurt's really good for my dogs
.
Bananas are really good, eggsreally good as well.
(21:13):
So you want to keep it simpleand I know that they're getting
all good things when I see youcould just mix your supplement
with that, so it doesn't need tobe.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
If you feed kibble, you can just use, maybe, a raw
egg.
A regular day is fantastic foryour dog, or another thing that
might be good for your dog um,banana, like michelle said.
Um, maybe you're cooking somemints for yourself and you could
add your own mints, so I boughtsome sardines today.
Actually, here's an interestingone sardines have been
overfished and, um, basicallythey won't be able to get them
fresh over the counter from nowon, we they?
(21:42):
there's a ban here on on fishingthem, so shocking, interesting.
So I mean getting tins stillbecause of the fact that they've
been frozen for a long time, soyou will not get them fresh
right now.
Sardines and mackerel it'scrazy, yeah, and I eat a lot of
them, and it's because obviously, the world wants oily fish, so
um so yeah, but yeah, sardinesand tuna.
You can put them in somethinglike that.
A little bit of that is great.
(22:03):
So they take the supplement.
So that's internal, everythingin it's great peppermint, zinc,
selenium, vitamin A, fenugreek,cinnamon, ginger, fennel, black
cumin seed, tasty, yummy pumpkinseed all of the good stuff
smells amazing.
We've shampooed, now we'regoing to spray.
So we're going to spray.
Now you can spray routinely,like before you go out on a walk
or before you go near woodlandor moorland or anywhere that you
(22:24):
think you're going to be introuble, maybe at dog shows or
around other dogs, around withpeople.
Your dog's going to smellamazing.
And here's how much I trust theproduct and I think this is
really important.
So I trust the product.
Where am I putting the shelf?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
all around your neck and in your, in your jumper as
well and I have no problemputting that on myself.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I would never put frontline on myself.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I would never, ever put spot on my skin and I use it
actually when I'm outside inthe evenings.
We're starting to get midges.
I'm an absolute midge magnet.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
They're all around my head, all around my face and my
ankles.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I get little tiny bites on my ankles.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah, I spray it on myself, yeah, and it's lovely
for that, as is calm bomb,actually, and bug bomb they're
both really really nice.
So it smells.
They smell great, don't they?
They smell great, and the factthat you're willing to put
things on your skin, I think,tells you a lot.
So for me, I'm very.
That's my favorite.
I think that's my favorite.
So we're now using the balm.
So the balm I put around mydog's neck, under my dog's arms,
(23:21):
um it, this could be sold inlike a neil jodd, like it is
like that good um, it justsmells amazing.
That, for me, is my favorite, soif you haven't already that's
that's my favorite of the smells.
So that smells amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It fits in really nicely with what I've been doing
with myself.
So I've been getting away fromchemicals, so I've changed to a
natural deodorant.
Yeah, I don't really wearmakeup.
I try to put natural creams onmy skin because you're absorbing
the toxins.
So if I'm looking at that formy own health, for the cleaners
that I'm using in my house, thisfits nicely with what I'm doing
for my dogs?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean essential oils where you
can.
There is so much good in whatwe're doing here in my opinion.
It's funny you know what?
The AOK9's biggest sellingsupplement has always been Calm,
but interestingly this iscoming up to rival it.
It doesn't surprise me.
I am so happy with that, I'm soproud of that.
Like from a supplement thatnever had a like a market here
(24:16):
to being like a real boom, likeI love that.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It tells you how curious people are getting Well,
you get side effects from aspoton treatment and it can
cause nervous system effects.
So I had a client that wasgrappling with a dry eye on her
little dog and going back andforth with the vets and it'd
been going on for ages.
She kept a diary and sherealized that every time her dog
got spot-on treatment the dryeye popped in.
(24:41):
So she asked the vet and thevet was like oh, absolutely, it
can cause nervous system issues.
Stop the spot on treatment.
Eyes are clear, no issueswhatsoever absolutely shocking.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, and for me there just is no need, like
there's no need.
The other thing is a newprescription needed, here you
just grab it right, yeah, youdon't have to get any
prescription, you don't have tovisit, you don't have to do
anything and I love the fact.
I love, I love my vet.
I really love my vet.
She's such a lovely lady, but Idon't want to see her for for
this.
I want to like give my dogs thebest stuff.
I don't want to give them thatstuff on their body.
(25:13):
I don't want to put it nearthem.
Now, if I do get a tick on a dogand, like I said, I haven't had
one this year which I'm reallyhappy with and I'm going to use
a tick twister, I'm going to usea tick twister.
I'm going to use that ticktwister to get it straight off
and it's going to come off asquick as possible.
I'm going to spin it off andoff it goes and I'm not having
it there.
I will kill it.
I'm sorry for that, but I willkill it and squish it with their
head and then it's gone and Idon't want the chance of that
(25:35):
one coming back.
And I haven't had to take anyoff and my dogs I have had to
take one off a client yeah, sowe've had a client with one
which I was again saying youguys need to spray yourself with
bug canine and you need to putyour bug canine on and you can
use all of this.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
That's the human, yeah, the human, when she's
saying the client, the human hadit.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The human had it.
The human had the tick, whichwas scary.
Yeah, he on his chest.
Now, if my dog does have a biteor any type of bite, you can
use a soothing canine now again.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
How lovely does soothing smell.
I use it on myself, so, um, Iget rubs on my hands from the
horses and from little nicksoccasionally.
Oh, I absolutely love it.
I have to keep stocked up on it.
I love it before it gets to thedogs.
I mean, I've used it.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I love it.
The other thing is really funny, classic.
I had her out the other day andwhat did she try and and do.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
She was licking it, she liked to eat it.
Yeah, she was like licking thepot.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
And the fun thing is here everything in it's great
and you can see why she'slicking it.
It's jojoba oil, it's coconutoil, it's really lovely
calendula, it's good stuff, likeit's really good stuff, one I
do use myself.
I've been abroad a few times inthe last five years.
Um, and I've taken that with meand if I've got a bite, or if
I've got like a mozzie bite or aum, like an itchy spot from um,
(26:51):
any sort of like midges, that'sbrilliant.
Yeah, so you can put that righton as well.
So really, really nice to um,calm, a calm, a bite down.
I've had a few my face whichhaven't been nice.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Again put that one on and so again another really
nice use for it yeah, andsomething that we've not talked
about, which I think isimportant for everybody to
realize.
We know about it withantibiotics, antibiotics
becoming resistant, so bacteriabecoming resistant to
antibiotics.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I should say it's happening with the tick
treatments the they've been usedfor so long and they've been
used so numerous as well, like,routinely, like they've been
used every week, month, um sortof regular, regular, regular,
regular, regular, and they'vebeen used so like, routinely,
like they've been used everyweek, month, um sort of regular,
regular, regular, regular,regular, and they haven't
changed anything in them.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
No, it's just natural selection the, the fleas, the
ticks, um the bad guys.
Basically, some of them aresurviving, they're resistant to
it, they're multiplying and thenext minute you've got a spot-on
treatment that's not working atall.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And you've got a dog that's got fleas and and we've
got, like we said, 25 millioncats and dogs in the uk and a
huge proportion of those on themonthly like vet monthly clubs.
I can categorically say I willnever be finding myself on any
vet monthly club for my dogs andmy treatments why not do this
monthly absolutely?
absolutely, in fact, if you dodo a subscription, a bug you get
(28:04):
.
I think it's 15, 20 percent off.
It's, you get good, you get agood.
Um, in fact, I think if you Idon't know, it depends when
you're listening to this but Ithink it's 26 pounds when you
subscribe to it, which is a megabargain, and for some dogs
that's going to last them um to50 days.
A good, yeah, a good, a good 50to 100 days, potentially with
your real small dogs.
Um, so it's.
(28:24):
It's beautiful ingredients andrepels nasty parasites, controls
and halts any infection.
It's a 50 day plus supply,depending on the size of your
size of your dog, and I just, Ijust think it's the only way I
want to treat my dog.
I don't want to treat my dog um, any other way.
I want them to have the bestand I want them to be supported
naturally and it's got so manygood things in it.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's going to help out their microbiome and
basically, by keeping theirtummy healthy, there's no room
for anything else to live there.
Yeah, so made it.
You've made it unattractive,exactly, exactly, and there's
nutritional benefits to bug aswell.
Not just keeping the bad guysaway, but actually it's all
natural, natural ingredientsthat are going to actually help
your dog promote their health.
I just smell it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
It's so nice, oh, yeah, so.
So guys, loads and loads andloads to think about.
Now, if you're sat on the fenceand you just want to ask some
questions, I think that's a goodplace to be Like sit on the
fence and ask some questions,just at least stay curious.
If you want to try it, you'vegot the code.
So you've got your Love Dogscode.
Your Love Dogs is going to getyou £10 off.
Anything.
Even if you head over there andbuy something like like this is
(29:40):
£16.
Just buy that and get yourselflike a complete bargain so you
can get anything.
We need to tell them where theyneed to head over.
Yeah, where do you need to goto?
A hyphen o k number nine dotcom.
There you go.
It's aok9.com, a hyphen o knine, the number dot com.
There you go, easy, and you'regoing to type in the code so
that you can get your love dogsdiscount.
And we love dogs.
We want dogs to succeed when itcomes to this and we also want
to prevent dogs having all ofthese like autoimmune, early
(30:03):
cancers, so many struggles, likenervous system issues and
fitting and all of the thingsthat are kind of squashed and
hidden.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
But you know what they're out there yes and
they're pretty darn scary andand they're life-changing for
some dogs right, massivelylife-changing definitely, and
for the owners as well, because,I mean, my dogs are my member
of my family, like um, I don'twant anything bad to happen to
them.
But then, when you look morebroadly, we're affecting the
waterways, we're affecting thestreams, we're affecting what
lives in the aquatic lifewildlife by putting these
(30:37):
treatments on our dogs.
And they're only just realizingit.
So they now have the, they'reable to actually test the water
and see what's in it, and theyhaven't tested all the waterways
yet.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
But what they're finding are they're finding the
ingredients that are in thesespot-on treatments in the
waterways and it's it's killingthe fish so, guys, you have the
opportunity to explore somethingnew, to do something different,
to test the water for you, andwe've we've already, we've
already trodden the path likewe've trodden the path.
We're five years in.
We've trodden the path and Iown 10 dogs, so I've trodden it
well and I know that with amulti-dog household it works.
(31:13):
I know that it's very, verydoable.
You can test their poo with oneof the worm counts that you
just send online.
I would always use it for abouta month and then I would send
my test away so it can be usedalongside testing.
So, you, at least a month, Iwould get them on it and I
personally would never use anyother worms again unless they
had a real issue.
And obviously, if you're in themiddle of an infestation, you've
got a massive issue.
(31:33):
Slightly different, yeah,slightly different like you're
not, you're not in the samespace.
We're talking, uh, people thatgo in week by week, day by day,
month by month, and carry onusing things without ever doing
due diligence and asking thequestions do you actually need
it?
Uh, can you do anything elsepreventatively?
Is there space for anythingelse?
And for me there really is.
And and there's a really nicespace.
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
The other thing you can get is bundle so you can
bundle all of these and thatdoes save you.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I know you got one recently, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
yeah, yeah, and it's really good.
It all comes all packaged upfor you, um and um.
You're good to go, you don'thave to think about anything.
So the shampoo, the balm, thespray, the tick twisters and the
bug supplement, you get it asone big bundle.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
So a nice little defense kit, and that's what we
want is we want you to feel likeyou can defend your dog without
having to use something thatreally isn't good for you or
your house or your family oryour dog.
And and, of course, yeah, itmight kill fleas, but what else
does it cause?
And I think that's where we'vegot to ask those questions.
So please share this message.
Yes, because I know I talked toa lot of people about it and
(32:33):
they often ask me like how andand where and why and and for my
dogs.
I'll give you five ways I mightfeed it.
I might give it in their mincemix, in a um, in a calm or a
filled bone or something.
They can have it in their, intheir mix.
I might give it um in their um,raw egg or yogurt or banana.
How about you, michelle?
Speaker 2 (32:52):
so I, um, I get the AOK9 squeezy tubes and I'll take
an egg and some of their rawand I mix their supplements in
it and I'll take this on a walkwith me and they lick the food
out of it.
Um, I also feed, um, I use it'sgetting warmer here in the uk,
so happy about this.
Yes, um, and I use fresh canineto keep them well hydrated.
So I'll take some of the bugcanine, I'll sprinkle it into
(33:15):
their hydration mix and theydrink it and they absolutely
love it.
So I know they're gettingeverything in them.
So while they're gettinghydrated with their fresh canine
, they're getting their bugcanine too.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Another thing that I know Michelle and I both do is
sometimes we'll got a little bitof foraging and we'll maybe
grab some sticky weed or somewild garlic or some other things
, and garlic's another one.
So many people think that dogsaren't allowed to have garlic,
but they are absolutely um soit's got.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial
.
There's so many health benefits.
It's good for you, good foryour cardiovascular system,
great for your heart.
Um so many reasons to take it.
Um so yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Liza made the most amazing wild garlic pesto the
other day, so definitely eatyour wild garlic and your dog
can have it too.
Um, but I definitely know formy dogs.
I might give them theirsupplement in something like an
enrichment bowl, yes, so theymight have it in in in one of
those or they might have it intheir squeezy tube.
But I was going to say theother thing we both do is we, we
go foraging and then we mightblend all that down and you
(34:12):
could add your um bug canine tothat blend, yes, and then you
just pop that blend out intotheir meal.
So if their meal is a raw meal,you pop your blend and then
you've got your veggie mix inthe meal and it's already
pre-made and I love doing that,yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
So I'm really sad because wild garlic is starting
to disappear, so I picked awhole bunch and I blended it in
my blender and I put it into icecube trays Nice.
So then the bug canines in it.
It's all good to go.
I can pop one out, I can add itto their meal, and it makes it
really simple and really easy,just really easy, like really
easy.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
So, guys, loads of different ways you can use it,
loads of different ways you canmake it work for you and your
dog.
Loads of different options.
The biggest thing we want youto do is go and try it.
Talk to a friend about it, talkto your neighbor, your sister,
your mother, your brother, yourlong lost lover.
Talk to people, share themessage.
If you want to be a partner ofaocanine, there's also partner
opportunities.
Just email us or check out thewebsite and we'll we'll give you
(35:03):
a hand, just to get you onboard.
The best part is, this ismoving fast, like it's
life-changing, it'srevolutionary.
Herbs have power and these guyshave superpowers.
You're using antioxidants,you're using all of the good
stuff, you're using foods thatreally are paving the way of the
future and I really feel in thenext five years, you're going
(35:24):
to see so much boom in thisspace because people are
starting to really wake up andthat wake up is quite exciting.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Oh, it is.
It's really exciting and it'sjust going to make us all
healthier.
It's going to make our dogshealthier, which means you're
going to live longer.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yeah, that's super nice and I think for you guys
today, if you want to take onestep, go over and take the quiz
on the AO Canine site there's aquiz over there or maybe jump in
and literally get involved inthe Love Dogs Code.
You get £10 off your your order.
You can get things from like 15pounds, so you go and grab
something.
Whatever you might grab,whatever you might find, go and
(35:59):
grab something for you, make itspecial.
