5 Resources for Finding Lost Pets
One of the most awful experiences a pet parent can face is when a pet goes missing. It can happen in the blink of an eye. My childhood best friend, Mickey, disappeared one evening during a potty trip outside. It was our fault. We let him out onto our patio behind our apartment complex alone. He had always returned right after he did his business, we didn’t expect this night to be any different. (Now, I can’t imagine what we were thinking! How foolish and irresponsible!) We searched the neighborhood calling his name for hours. I missed school the following day to search for him. I couldn’t stop searching for…

Freshpet Natural Pet Food Review
I’ve written before about how picky Delia is about her food. I’m sure she is the pickiest eater on the planet. Each time I think we’ve found a food she likes, she turns the tables on me and stops eating it. Until we found Freshpet. She has been eating Freshpet food consistently for nearly a year, now. So, I was excited when we won a BarkPost contest for Freshpet food! We love BarkPost AND Freshpet, so it was a double win. BarkPost sent us a gift card to PetSmart to purchase Delia’s favorite Freshpet Vital Grain Free recipe. 8 Things We Love About Freshpet Freshpet uses only fresh all natural…

Natural Nutrition From Merrick for the #BestDogEver
I’m a little bit obsessive about Delia and Chewy’s nutrition. They both get bored with their food easily, so I’m always looking for nutritious, natural foods for them to try.

Turkey Dinner Meatloaf For Dogs
I love to cook for my dogs and to make special meals for them during the holidays or just because they are awesome. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, I whipped up an easy-to-make turkey dinner meatloaf. They both loved it, so we thought we would share it with you! After baking and cooling, the sweet potatoes can be added to the top of the loaf as an “icing.” Chewy likes the sweet potato topping, but Delia doesn’t, so I just leave the sweet potatoes off of her serving. I hope your dogs enjoy this Turkey Dinner Meatloaf for Dogs! *This recipe is intended to be given as a special…

Allprovide All-Natural Fresh Raw Dog Food Review
Allprovide is a new all-natural raw pet food company with a focus on making pets healthier and happier by providing wholesome, real human-grade food for dogs and cats. I’ve been interested in transitioning Delia and Chewy to a raw diet for a while, but the process seemed daunting. Cost, equipment, quality ingredients, safety…these were all concerns. When I was approached to review Allprovide in exchange for food for Delia and Chewy to try, after doing some research on the company and consulting our veterinarian, I thought it would be a great opportunity to delve into raw feeding. Allprovide is all-natural and made with USDA select meats and USDA Grade A…
