Dogs have simple needs. A raw turkey at Thanksgiving would suit them fine. I have fed raw turkey wings, legs, necks, and thighs to my dogs, but when it came to turkey backs, those bones were just too sharp for my liking. Proceed with caution! By the way, if you find your dog is keeping one step ahead of you at getting to naughty before you can intervene, contact me. I can help even the odds with some awesome reward-based {Read More}
Thanksgiving for Dogs
November 26, 2013 by
If your dogs are going to join you in the Thanksgiving feasting on Thursday, remember to be careful about a few foods. Raisins and grapes, as well as onions and garlic can be toxic to dogs.

One at a time, roll the treat into the strip, stuff the strip into the ball. Then let {Read More}

A lot of dogs have died needlessly because of jerky treats. Treats! Dogs are dying from the treats we give them! Think about that. And it’s not just the jerky from China or just the meat jerky. I’ve run across an article of recent, The Problem With Dogs and Jerky Treats, and posted excerpts below. Though I used to boycott jerky from China, and meat jerky only, now I’m boycottting any jerky. There are plenty of other treats to use. {Read More}
