Here is another example of one of our clients adopting a shelter dog and giving them a loving new chance on life. Thanks Teresa & Doug for adopting a rescue dog!

Perscription Diets- Not as good as you think

So a few moments ago while i was searching for a new variety of dog food for my beagle who seems to have an ear was allergy that will not go away.  I am convinced he is allergic to something in a food he is eating but what can it be!

As i am searching online and reading all the dog foods, i laughed when i came across those "veterinary rx perscription dogs foods" http://www.petfooddirect.com/Product/8721/Hills-Prescription-Diet-d/d-Potato-And-Venison-Formula-Canine-Dry-Food

I am an avid reader of ingredients in dog food and learned all about what should and should not be in the foods.  One of them is Ethoxyquin.  Out of curiosity i read the ingredients in this Premium perscription dog food and the chemical is in this dog food. Figures

I also realized one of my favorite past companies- EVO and Innova dog food that I used, I no longer use because Procter and Gamble purchased this high end company and I am sure will source out cheaper ingredients now.

My word of advice-  read your dog and cat food ingredients.  If you must feed them the inexpensive dog food, purchase a wholesome gravy or pet food topper or supplements to add and give them the nutrients they deserve!

Rhodesian Ridgeback African Lion Dog- I know why

Today, it was poked into me as to why those rhodesian ridgeback dogs originally developed to hunt lions as my finger found out from one puppy who has some very sharp teeth when my hand got in the way.
