Wellness Pure Rewards Product Review

Wellness Pure Rewards Chicken and Lamb Treats

I recently adopted a 3-year-old Sheltie named Rosie from a local rescue group. I’ve been working with her over the past few weeks on basic commands like “sit” and “stay” because she was never formally trained. My close friend, who also happens to be a dog groomer, suggested that I try Wellness Pure Rewards for training and rewarding Rosie’s progress. Since she works with dogs every day, I figured she knew what she was talking about so I ordered a bag of the Chicken and Lamb flavor.

BBQ Safety Tips for Dogs

BBQ

As you prepare for your next family cook-out, use these tips to safely include your canine companion in the festivities.

• Prevent escapes. If your pooch will be outdoors, always keep him restricted on a lead or in a fenced yard. Also make sure he is wearing proper ID tags, just in case.

• Guard the grill. Your four-legged friend will be enticed by the smell of sizzling meat, but don’t let him get too close to the flame. Keep in mind the grill will stay hot well after you’re done cooking.

Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Venison Product Review

In our house Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Venison treats are a must have! I can't begin to explain how much I love these treats and how grateful I am to have found them. I have a 2 year old Labradoodle named Brielle. She is a the sweetest thing you have ever met. Unfortunately, almost from the time we got her, she has had some serious stomach problems. She couldn't keep her food down, she had gas issues and periodic skin problems. The poor thing was a mess and as a result so was my house for several months. I tried so many different diets.

Using Pill Pockets in Administering Dog's Medications

Many dog owners have toiled with the routine of opening their dog’s mouth, placing a pill behind the hump in the tongue, massaging the throat, and so on. Sometimes this effort yields only a discarded tablet later found on the floor.

Many people hide their dog’s medication in sliced bananas, peanut butter or just about anything that sufficiently masks the pill so that it can be ingested. Another option is to grind the tablet and mix it with enough wet dog food to sufficiently dilute the taste.
