What Should I Feed My Dog To Keep Her Healthy?

Coming Soon! Expert answers to your pet care questions!

My goal as a dog breeder is to not only raise healthy puppies but to give their new owners the guidance and information to keep them healthy.

If you’ve got questions about making wise choices in caring for your dog or are confused about diet choices, the good the bad, and the truly dire I want to help keep you on track. I’m passionate about helping people find a blend of natural and conventional ways to take good care of their dogs. I’ve written a guide about the basics which you can get below and you can find more on my new website which will be launched Summer of 2023!

For example, so many choices in what to feed your pet, it’s truly mind-boggling.

(You'd be surprised which foods this dog breeder would NEVER feed her pets!).

While I've answered literally thousands of questions and calls from past customers continue to convince me that people who love their pets and want to take good care of them are deluged with so many options and yes, bad choices some of which come from their veterinarian's office.

Here's an example: I had a call from Donna the other day and as we chatted about the supplies she'd need before her new Cavapoo puppy arrived with the flight nanny, I asked what she was feeding her 9-year-old French Bulldog Barney.

Yes! I WANT THAT!

"Oh, I've always gotten Barney's food from the vet, it's a prescription diet so I"m sure it's one of the healthier foods or they wouldn't be recommending it, right? Donna replied."

I groaned inwardly, hoping that the brand she mentioned had surely improved since I last checked the label. Since I was sitting near my laptop I told Donna to hang on while I shared with her the ingredient deck for Barney's food, thanks to Google, within moments I was looking in dismay at the following list of ingredients for one of the most expensive pet foods on the market; ingredients which unbelievably were even worse than when I used it in the days before I found out the hard way what a poor quality diet can do to the dog you love.

Corn, chicken by-product meal, brewers rice, brown rice, corn gluten meal, chicken fat, natural flavors, dried plain beet pulp, wheat gluten..."

What a genuinely dire list of components! CORN is the first ingredient and corn gluten meal is the 5th, and chicken by-product meal (you don’t even want to know what that consists of)!

For the sake of the dog you love, if you have a bag of one of the popular veterinary or prescription diets in your pantry right now, I beg you to take ten minutes and read this informative article from a resource I trust (though I wish they'd use slightly less flamboyant language, the message is still worth sharing so I'll share the link HERE even if I'm not thrilled with the language in the title 😢

My goal is to have a complete resource in the days ahead that will give you clear answers to so many questions that will affect the health of your dog in the years ahead, in the meantime, don’t miss the article from Dog’s Naturally, you need to know today what’s in the food you’re getting at the vet’s office.

Little Puppy Valentines Posting Today!

So some of the babies in this litter are going to cause a riot, here’s one of them… Just the homepage preview is already filling my Inbox with pleas to hold this or that puppy, I feel like the only clerk at a big box superstore at times. We work through the process slowly and be prepared for me to make an executive decision on where each puppy goes. There’s only ONE of each and whether my pick of the litter puppy or one of the other equally lovable babies, I end up sorting through dozens of inquiries and to help each baby make his or her way to their forever home : ) : ) : )

Daffodil will most certainly be sold the moment I publish her listing as will several of these new puppies, don’t despair though, I truly believe if you miss a puppy it’s because another puppy is waiting in the wings for you. John and I pray that each one of our small charges goes to their proper home and that they bring many puppy blessings to each family. Sometimes it’s a journey and puppies like Sleigh Belle or Candy Land will linger a while, waiting for their people to find them. Sometimes it’s the opposite and everyone is fighting over another puppy, I never know who is going to jump off the page first and into some Puppy Seeker’s heart but it all works out in the end I promise.

Everyone knows I love my Blenheim Cavachon babies, I can’t help it. The beautiful gold and white color seems to go hand in hand with a lovely nature. That being said, of course, in the next puppy bio I’ll be rhapsodizing about the Tri-Colors (they are soooo smart with a delicious witty character) and then the Sables (who can resist that gorgeous color, they do have high opinions of their own beauty though lol) and yesssss, the RUBIES!!! I ADORE the Ruby coats on my Cavapoo kiddos. They might be a pinch more precocious but they outgrow it quickly!

But, as usual, I digress, back to Honey Bun who is not only deliciously attractive on the outside, inside beats the heart of a true companion dog. She’s smart and funny and extra affectionate. She loves everyone she meets and while she’s thrilled to be carried around like a shoulder bag, a romp outdoors is her cup of tea until her paws get cold and then UP, she’s ready to be back in your arms lol!

Puppies are posting later today, prepare to fall in PUPPY LOVE my friends!
