Sadie Needs Help!

My friend found this sweet short hair border collie a few weeks ago. She appears to have been dumped out in the country. I have been calling her Sadie. She's staying at my house because we don't think she has been spayed (though I am working on getting that done). I already have several pets and cannot afford another one, so I am taking care of her until I can find her a permanent home. I have contacted several rescue groups in the Bryan/College Station area and they have all told me that they a… Continue

Cheap chicken from Walmart- It is not a GOOD deal

The frozen, enhanced chicken from Walmart or other retailers is not a "good" deal. Many people want to save a buck and see chicken for .54 cents/lb. Sounds great to feed your dog, right? The problem is many, many dogs are allergic to enhanced meats. Enhanced means there are additives, such as broth, sodium, etc. added to the chicken. It causes itching in dogs, loose stools, etc. So people new to raw may think that their dog is allergic to chicken, when actually the dog is only allergic to enhanc… Continue

How to introduce a puppy to raw

There is nothing better than starting a puppy off on the right foot; that includes feeding the best and healthiest diet possible. A puppy fed raw will know how to crunch and tear apart those bones right off the bat. Their jaw strength isn't quite the capacity of adults, but they have sharp teeth and instinct going for them. At first, you may need to hold the bone or meat out for them so they can really get into it. Soon enough they will be using their own paws to hold the bone as they pull off… Continue

DON'T KILL OUR WILD HORSES!!!!!!!!!!
