Natural Healthy Adult Dog Food

Our mid size dog did not immediately take to this food. She picked through the dish for about a week during transition. However, once we switched over entirely, she consumed the food without hesitation. Nugget size may have been a little large for her at first from what we can tell- but she got over it. We now find she consumes this food at the same rate of previous foods. We also noticed no difference in her digestion/bowel movements and the consistency of her stool movement is solid, little smell, and easy to pickup- all good signs. 
Without getting into hyper-technical detail (you can read ingredients in product listing), the ingredients listing of this food is very good and considered top quality by any standard. You will also appreciate the bag design since it is sturdy and resealable to keep the food fresh.
Not the best for smaller dogs
The nutritional elements in this are better than most grocery store pet foods, but not the very highest end either. More of an issue for me were the large kibbles. Not that my relatively small dogs couldn’t eat them, but they required a lot more work than smaller kibbles and left tons of crumbs on the floor as a result. So not a food I would tend to use again.

Something Fishy
This premium dog food features deboned haddock, cod, flounder and pollock as well as a nice variety of fruit, vegetables and supplements including pro and prebiotics and glucosamine chondroitin. As expected there is a fishy odor but it is not overwhelming or unpleasant. The resealable bag is a definite plus. It is easy to open and closes securely. The kibble is manageable. It was big enough to slow my German shepherd and small enough for my Chinese crested to handle without difficulty. The fact that it is made in the USA from ingredients sourced in North America definitely contributed to my peace of mind. While I do wish all the ingredients were from this country, North American goods are, in my mind, more trustworthy than those from China or overseas. The dogs ate it enthusiastically and experienced no digestive upsets or other side effects.
Whether investing in a premium food is worth it is a matter of personal opinion. My experience has been that it is and I woul

Dog Eye Injuries can be a Vet Emergency

Eye injuries in dogs and cats are common and are usually caused by trauma (such as a fight with another animal), a foreign body in the eye, infection, an inability to form lubricating tears, or an abnormality in the eye.  WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EYE INJURY? Presentations for these include squinting, pawing the eye or face, watery eyes, a discharge from the eye, the eyes can look red or inflammed, the pupil size may be abnormal, or the pet simply appears uncomfortable or in pain. But when is this an emergency and when should pet owners seek veterinary help? Most injuries that appear superficial occur to the cornea. This is the outer layer of your pet’s eye. There are many very thin layers to the cornea and the seriousness of the injury depends on how many of the layers have been damaged. Injuries to the outermost layer can heal quickly with medication in little time. However, the deeper the injury, the greater the chance of scarring or blindness which often requires surgery to prev...
