This could never happen in my house. How about at yours?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: Your Dog’s Diet
I posted earlier this week about some potential problems with grain-free diets, and it got me to wondering what people feed their dogs. I am currently using the BARF (bones and raw food) diet, only because Penny is allergic to beef, so I can control ingredients better this way.

Grain Free: Not all it’s cracked up to be
Have you switched to a grain-free dog food, assuming that it must be better for your dog? You might want to think again, as veterinary cardiologists are now studying the link between grain-free foods and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Continue reading Grain Free: Not all it’s cracked up to be
Dog Food Hack
I never have trouble getting my Penny to eat, but I have no doubt this would work if she ever did turn up her nose!

What Are They Feeding You?
No, this post isn’t about smelly cats. (For the Friends fans reading along.)
As a new convert to homemade dog food, I was interested in this new venture by Petco.
As part of their effort to continue to offer pet parents the very best in pet solutions, Petco has partnered with Los Alamitos, CA based JustFoodForDogs to offer fresh, small-batch, human-grade food for dogs in strategic locations across the country. This move comes as a result of listening to the pet parent community and understanding that increasing numbers of pet parents are looking for alternative options when it comes to feeding their furry family members.

Have you tried Amazon’s new dog food?
Available exclusively to Prime members, Amazon is now selling private label Wag dry dog food via its pet supply site wag.com.
There are four different flavors, all marked “no added grain”. The 30-pound bag costs about $45, and you can get a $5 off coupon on the site.
There is also one flavor (chicken and lentil) for puppies.
If you’ve tried it, let the rest of us know what you think. Did your dog like it? Did you see any benefits to this food vs. whatever you were feeding before? Inquiring minds want to know!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
My Raw Dog Food Recipe
I don’t share this with just anybody (haha), but here’s the recipe I use for my Penny, an 11-year old Beagle who is allergic to beef.
Mix together 3 pounds ground turkey, 4 – 6 cans drained tuna, 1 large can drained sweet potatoes, and 1/2 – 1 cup uncooked oatmeal. That’s all there is to it. It provides all of the basic nutrients, but may be a little low on calcium, so I let her have the shell whenever I use an egg. Bones are out because they typically come from cows, i.e. beef.

Is a raw diet dangerous?
I have recently switched my dog to a raw diet because she needs limited ingredients due to food allergies. (Check back tomorrow for my recipe.) Overall, I think it’s beneficial to her, but I recently read an article where it said the diet could be dangerous for me, as her caretaker. Continue reading Is a raw diet dangerous?
Peanut Butter Homemade Dog Treats
After recently discovering that my Beagle, Penny, is allergic to beef, I’ve taken her off all commercial foods, but I’ve felt bad because I don’t have any treats to give her. Then I stumbled across this recipe from a blog named Spaceships and Laser Beams: Continue reading Peanut Butter Homemade Dog Treats
