The truth about brewer's rice in pet food
Reading the back of a bag of dog food can be confusing. Some ingredients are easy to identify- meats, fruits, and vegetables. Even some vitamins and nutrients are familiar. Other items in the list baffle pet owners. Nutrients, the quality of the ingredients, and where they are sourced is far more important than the ingredients on that list. The same goes for brewer's rice. A low-quality product purchased from an illegitimate source can be bad for your pet. If the ingredients are regulated and of the highest quality, it makes all the difference.
January's toy of the month hollow but not empty
January's toy of the moth is just for dogs- specifically powerful chewers. The DuraChew® Hollow Stick - Bacon is a vet recommended chew toy. This long lasting chew comes in two sizes: Wolf and Souper (pictured above.)
Designed with chewing in mind the toy has tiny bristles that are raised during chewing in order to clean your pets teeth. In turn the toy gives them something to play with while it helps control tartar and plaque build up.
Hollow toys are great for hiding dog treats inside but the big bacon flavour means it attracts your canine with or without a hidden surprise.

Winter
paw care is important for our canine family members. The hard snow and sharp
spikes of ice make outdoor travel like an icy and deadly obstacle course for
dogs. Cuts and soars can develop on the pads and their poor little
"feet" can be in pain- and you may not even know it.
There are
some products out there- along with some tips and tricks- to help you take
extra special care of your dog’s paws in this cold weather.
