Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup

It's been said chicken noodle soup is soup for the soul. Kirby and Kenzie lap up every drop of this healing bowl of goodness so why not fix a bowl for your dog? This versatile nutritious meal will be a pup pleaser whether served cold in the summer or warmed in the winter. If sharing I would leave out the ground chicken bones which leave a gritty taste your pup will love but you, not so much.

Can Dogs Eat Dates?
Can Dogs Eat?, Canine Nutrition

Bananas surpass dates in vitamins C and A but dates have twice as much potassium, three times as much iron, twice as much protein, and six times as much calcium as bananas. One pitted date has roughly 66 calories and virtually no fat.

10 Safety Tips for Hearing-Impaired Dogs
Guest Posts, Health & Wellness, Safety

All dogs need their owners to think about their safety. But dogs that have disabilities, such as deaf dogs, need a little more consideration. These dogs can’t hear traffic, people calling after them, or other warning signals that would tell them that something is wrong. They rely on you to keep them safe while they navigate life without that sense.

Top 5 Dog Grooming Tips For Your Family
Health & Wellness, Guest Posts

Regular grooming is very important and in order to avoid stress for you and your dog, ensure that you are prepared by getting all the materials you may need during grooming. You may also take your dog out for a short walk to make him relax and stay calm as you work on him. Your hound learns to enjoy being groomed when you start when he is young and as he grows he becomes accustomed.

Whether you work closely with a patrol dog, depend on a canine companion, or are simply planning on taking your favorite pooch along on an outdoor journey, tactical dog gear can keep your hound safe and secure. Tactical harnesses, vests, collars, and leashes can protect your K9 from dangers, help you to control or maintain them, serve as a means for carrying gear and supplies, and even don important placards, all while withstanding extraordinary wear and tear.

How Good is Prescription Pet Food for Your Pet?

How Good is Prescription Pet Food for Your Pet?
Canine Nutrition, Health & Wellness

A lot of vets are prescribing prescription pet food. Some may be prescribing it without much knowledge about it while some might know all the facts about it and yet prescribing it to their four-legged patients. You must know that prescription pet food does not contain any drug so actually a prescription is not needed. It is all a business tactic of the giant pet food producing companies to make a profit by letting it sell only through a prescription from a vet. You might also be paying taxes which are actually not required for prescription animal food.

Finally A Safe Flea Preventative That Works
Health & Wellness

I pride myself on raising healthy, green dogs. I home cook, and aside from vaccinations and heartworm preventative, Kirby lived his first five years chemical free.  My other contention has been dealing with fleas. We started natural but the past several years led us to using poison as the only means to alleviate the horrid scratching and itching.  Until now. Until Dr. Dobias.

Beef kidneys are an inexpensive organ meat perfect for dehydrating.  High protein, low fat, and no carbs make them a good choice for treats.  Kirby and Kenzie love them but beware they do have an odor while dehydrating. Not as bad a liver but still not good.

Easy to Follow House Cleaning Tips for Dog Owners

Cleaning up the mess Max has made is fun and all (not), but if you want to spend less time on it and more quality time actually bonding with him, then you should minimize the amount of work as much as possible. This is easier said than done, but once you’ve gotten the hang of it, your house will forever be much simpler to clean.

How Rover Came To Our Rescue!
Reviews, Health & Wellness

Finding a place to board our dogs can be daunting to say the least. Finding a place that accepts and understands how we are raising our dogs is even more daunting but it can be done. Any time we will be travelling in that direction Miss Julie will be the one we call. If we need a sitter in another direction? Rover will be where I turn to for someone. We may even utilize her day care when we want to do a little shopping in Jackson. I highly recommend Rover sitters and applaud those who who keep pets in their homes.  I have a feeling they may give boarding businesses a run for their money in the near future.

Dog Treat Recipes

I originally shared Coconut Cream Cookies for Dogs with 4Knines.  This almost pure coconut treat has turned out to be one of Kirby’s favorites so I’ve been tinkering with it to change up the flavors or coloring them for a festive look. I’ll add more as I discover them but for now we’ve been using carob powder (brown), turmeric powder (yellow), and red beet powder (pink). The amount of powder to add is the amount to get the color you want.
