Health Food for Dogs and Cats

March 22, 2016

As an animal-lover, I’m always on the lookout for high-end food to keep our companion animals in the best of health.

Primal Freeze-Dried Nuggets are rectangular-shaped, raw food that can be fed dry, or moist.

The nuggets fit in the palm of your hand, and break up very easily into feeding bowls.

The nuggets contain fresh ground meat, collard greens, squash, sunflower seeds, quinoa, kelp, celery and lots of other healthy ingredients, most of which are organic.

The nuggets are made by PrimalPetFoods.com.  They’re sold in sturdy, zip-lock bags.  You can buy them in most pet food shops, and online sellers like Chewy.com.

Bone Appetit!

Cafe Chihuahua

November 5, 2015

Thanks to his owner, this little dog made one too many trips to Cafe Chihuahua, an imaginary name for humans who overfeed their dogs.

Overweight dogs are not healthy animals, and neither are people who overeat.   Feeding your dog too much food may result in  serious, and life-threatening health problems.  Neither you or your dog enjoy veterinary visits.  Take better care of your furry friend by feeding him properly.

The life expectancy of this breed is 15 or more years.  Healthy Chihuahuas weigh between 4 to 6 pounds.  When overfed, they balloon up to as much as 13 pounds.

Obesity causes problems to humans and animals alike.  An overweight Chihuahua may develop arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and shortened lifespan.
