Tuesday Top Ten: Homemade Dog Food Ingredients

You’ll note that the top five are protein sources, because that’s what dogs crave and need most. The rest include sources of the other nutrients important to your dog’s health.

Pedigree Animal Foundation
Congratulations to the Pedigree Animal Foundation. Due to their campaign during the Westminster Kennel Club show, they collected over $205,000 from viewers to be donated in support of dog adoption. As of today, that total is up over $300,000
The Pedigree Corporation will match at least the donations made during the show (I’m not sure about other donations), so selected adoption organizations will receive a total of over $410,000!
If you want to help out, go to DogsRule.com, where you can learn about several ways to contribute. Even if you just click on the link to become a Facebook fan, you will trigger a donation of 1 bowl of dog food to a shelter. No cost to you, and a world of help for dogs!
Thanks, Pedigree!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
