  • Manufactured dog feed – what’s BAD for your dog.

    Here’s an article from the Whole Dog Journal on the subject of dog food.

    You want the best for your dog – especially when it comes to his food. You read labels and try to choose the brand and formula that will nourish your furry friend.

    That’s why you’ll be as shocked to discover that dozens of today’s top-selling brands – names you thought you could trust, like Beneful, Pedigree, Purina and more – may not contain the wholesome, healthy ingredients you want for your dog.

Somebody decided that it would be easier to take the pups from their mother, leaving her in a sad state, dejected, without understanding why they were taking her little ones, never to see them again.

    luckily there was a person who never forgot her and sought help to catch her, using a cage trap for several days, until she finally went in and was able to be rescued.
