This blog was inspired by the incredible journey I shared with my rescue dog, Splash. When Splash turned 10, I began noticing the quiet signs of aging — a little more stiffness in the mornings, naps that stretched longer, and a touch of "frosted" on her muzzle. Determined to give her the best golden years possible, I dove deep into the world of canine longevity. What started as late-night research turned into a full-blown passion.
Along the way, I became a certified pet nutrition expert and began formulating supplements tailored specifically to Splash’s needs. I wasn’t just looking to extend her life — I wanted her to thrive. And she did.
Splash lived a joyful life until just a few months shy of her 18th birthday. She played, explored, and acted like a puppy well into her 16th year. When the time came to say goodbye, my vet — with over 30 years of experience — told me she was the oldest husky he had ever seen. I’ll never forget those words.
I started The Frosted Muzzle to share everything I learned on this journey - the nutrition tips, the wellness routines, the science-backed supplements, and most importantly, the love and patience that make the senior years so special. If I can help you get even a little more time — more tail wags, more memories, more quiet moments — with your gray-muzzled best friend, then Splash’s legacy lives on.
Thank you for being here. Let’s make every frosted muzzle a story of joy, vitality, and love.
