"As our Dog Breath Sniffer, you'll be responsible for filtering for the best (and worst) smelling dog breath in the city. We need someone brave, bold, and nosy (literally) to get up close and personal with NYC's finest canines."

My mother always said buy a red or pink brolly, which will give a glow to your face in the rain. Meanwhile, the Filter's own Emily Goddard suggests dopamine dressing, even if only on a small scale. I have several colourful pairs of socks that add a pop of joy to the dark outfits I often find myself defaulting to during winter, she says.

Rachel Swanson, a registered dietitian at LifeSpan Medicine and author of "Trying!: A Science-Backed Plan to Optimize Your Fertility," splits her time between New York City and Miami, spending about half the year in each. She also takes small-group workout classes three times a week, focusing on strength training. She says eating enough nutrients, especially protein for muscle-building, is crucial for her. She generally aims for around 0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight, the protein intake usually recommended for physically active people.

Diet culture norms have led to a multibillion-dollar industry promoting diets that each come with their own set of rules, with each claiming it's the only way to be healthy or lose weight. When access to nutrition information is at an all-time high online, people are often left digging through conflicting information when trying to figure out what to eat or what a healthy diet look likes.

For although experts agree fresh meat can be a valuable source of proteins, healthy fats and essential micronutrients, some processed meat products are considered such a cancer risk that the World Health Organisation believes they should be slapped with a health warning. Key factors include how the animal was raised, the specific cut of meat, its fat content, and, crucially, how it is cooked or prepared.

A single 30g cube of cheese, frequently featured in 'cheese tax' clips, is the equivalent of a person eating two and a half bags of crisps. A puppuccino - a popular treat from coffee shops that is made with whipped cream - carries a similar calorie hit to a McDonald's milkshake. More indulgent treats can be even more damaging, with just one slice of pizza making up around a third of a dog's daily calories.

The PFAS concentrations detected in pet food in this study are a significant source of daily exposure for companion animals. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a class of synthetic chemicals often used in plastics, cleaning products and non-stick coatings. They can take over 1,000 years to break down and have been detected in nearly all environments including remote Arctic areas, deep oceans, drinking water and human blood.

Remember that moment at the dog park when you see two golden retrievers, with one bouncing around with bright eyes and a glossy coat, and the other just going through the motions with a dull expression despite being perfectly groomed? Both dogs are clearly loved and cared for, but something deeper separates them: It's the difference between a dog that's genuinely flourishing and one that's simply being maintained.

Dog ownership has increased dramatically in many western countries. For example, in the UK there has been an increase from around 8.3 million in 2011 to 13.5 million in 2025. That means that approximately 29% of UK adults own a dog! At least partially this increasing trend of owning a dog is linked to millennials being more likely to have children later in life.

Picture this: Your new puppy is pressed against the corner of the room, trembling slightly as you call their name. Their tail, which should be wagging with excitement, is tucked firmly between their legs. You've done everything the books told you, bought all the right toys, followed the feeding schedule perfectly, yet somehow your furry friend seems more nervous with each passing day.

The company on February 11 announced it had raised $100 million in Series C funding as it pursues FDA approval of LOY-002, a beef-flavored daily prescription pill designed to extend the healthy lifespan of senior dogs. The drug mimics some of the effects of a calorie-restricted diet in addressing age-related metabolic issues without requiring pet owners to cut their dogs' food supply or curbing canine appetites.

In today's digital age, where every scroll brings a new sensation, a surprising trend has emerged: dog influencers. These furry personalities are taking social media by storm, captivating hearts and fetching likes in droves. This phenomenon isn't just about cute photos; it's a testament to the power of community and the universal love for our four-legged friends. Let's dive into the world of dog influencers and explore how they've become a staple in American social media culture.

Beyonce and Kim Kardashian are some of the many who have long indulged in mini-me dressing wearing the same clothes as their children but now the trend is being extended to people's four-legged companions too. The dog clothing market is soaring and this winter it is coats that are topping the most in-demand list. Bestsellers at Pawelier, a London-based luxury pet accessories shop include a 135 four-leg puffer coat complete with a fuzzy hood and toggle detailing,
