Seems logical to think that there is a single correlation between all three. What you feed your dog will inevitably determine it’s lifespan, health and overall well being.

Homemade dog food is indeed healthier, smarter and more cost-effective in the long run. So why are so many pet parents ignorant to the facts of this matter? Since so many households feed their pups kibble, the argument almost always comes down to cost and convenience. And the convenience of kibble almost always wins the majority argument.

3 Of Our Easiest and Healthiest Homemade Dog Treats 0
Homemade Dog Treats Anyone Can Make! Don’t you feel so accomplished after making a great meal, or baking a perfect pie? I feel the same way after I make Cookie and our office dogs something from scratch. And there is nothing better than making dog treats. They are just super cute and the dog’s go nuts over them. When we think of dog treats, we don’t usually think about making them from scratch. There are so many options nowadays like, Newts, Bully Sticks, and even calming ones like King Kanine. But I’ll tell you, there is nothing like the feeling of making a batch of homemade dog treats! My fur-baby just knows that it’s something special. Let’s face it, we give our dogs so many treats. Whether it’s for tricks, doing something constructive during their walk. We humans go as far as giving dogs treats when we leave the house. Our guilt drives us to give them something they didn’t even work for! We know they are just too cute. When our furry companions deserve a treat we don’t just want to give them something that tastes delicious (or so we assume that it does) we want something equally beneficial […]
Big Dog Food Brands Have Met Their Match 0
How Has One Company Changed The Dog Food Industry Game? Have you ever checked the ingredients list on your pup’s food? If you’re like most proud dog parents, the words “natural,” “premium,” or “healthy” were reassurance enough. But that assurance would be poorly placed. Some of the mysterious ingredients in mainstream dog food isn’t healthy at all. And some would argue it shouldn’t be considered food at all. A review of the 40+ ingredients in a market-leading brand found unhealthy grains, cheap soy, and even synthetic materials. Earlier this year, a line of pet food was recalled for containing a drug used for euthanasia. Yikes! There must be a better way to feed our furry friends with confidence. Convenient Dog Food Has Finally Arrived We are living in the age of convenience. Meal boxes equip busy working pros with fresh, healthy, and creative meals, and same-day shipping puts toilet paper on our doorstep with a single tap. But man’s best friend has been all but ignored. Feeding him still requires lugging fifty pounds of bulk into a cart and up our apartment steps. Until now. A new premium dog food line called Smack is changing the industry with its award-winning […]
