  • The dirty truth about top-selling dog foods

    From the Editor of The Whole Dog Journal

    The dirty truth about how top-selling dog foods could actually be harming your dog’s health!
    And other untold secrets you need to know.

    Dear Fellow Dog Lover,

    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 as I was, 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.

    Anca podenca blind 250 8 2015Pepis Dog Refuge in Pedrera, Seville, has an outstanding vet bill so far of nearly 4,000 euros! That includes sterilization of dogs (the first thing to be done with the arrival of each new dog, to prevent unwanted puppies), vaccinations, dogs needing operations, medication…the list is endless.

    It’s desperate that this bill is cleared and to that end Ellen Stevens and 2 friends have entered the team event in the Duathlon at Clumber Park, Nottingham, on 19th March 2016. If you look on the Youcaring link below, you can read all about it.

    Please sponsor Team Pepis and share widely with family and friends. Let’s raise the total and more if possible. Help Jane and Alan Brian help dogs like blind podenca Anca, in this photo.

  • What your dog really thinks about you

    I am your dog, and I have a little something Iā€™d like to whisper in your ear; I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much too fast, often never noticing the truly grand things in life.

    Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer. See the way my dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age. The grey hairs are beginning to ring my soft muzzle. You smile at me; I see love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior wrong doing for just a simple moment of your time?

  • Introducing Hobo – happy on his sofa in his forever home!

    Anne Parkes podenco window 250 2 2016Anna Parkes wrote this story about her stunning Podenco X Hobo, another one rescued from Spain and now living a life of luxury in the UK.

    ‘I spent a week with an animal rescue charity named the ‘Asociacion de Animales de Berja‘ back in March 2013, ever since I have been following their progress over Facebook. Gradually friends and family members also followed the page, including my boyfriend, Josh. One day in January or February 2015 I awoke to see that he had tagged me in a post on Facebook; a beautiful brindle 6 month old male Podenco had been awaiting for a home since being thrown from a moving car a number of months earlier. He had spent time in foster but he could no longer stay there as they were due to go travelling. Despite multiple pleas for a new home, no one offered him one and the situation was becoming so desperate that the charity were soon left with no option but to send him to a shelter, which they were so keen not to do.
