As we look into the start of a brand new year, why not start with a better dog food for your pup?

Here is a great article in understanding the ingredient list on the pet food package. While The Bark Side gives two thumbs up for going raw or raw and kibble, that isn’t in everyone’s budget. So if you are a kibble family, understanding the kibble you feed is a great way to start your friend on a better health journey.

We also love dogfoodadvisor website for their ratings on dog food.

*if your dog has to be on a Rx diet, check out Farmina’s new high quality Rx food Vet-life. One of the most frustrating things about Rx food is the cheap low quality of the ingredients with the highest price tag. Now you have a choice!

Figure out how pet food industry disguises unhealthy dog food as healthy ingredients. Here are 5 ways to de-code the ingredients in your dog's food.

I asked the amazing The Tulip Girls
to create a bouquet that embodied “hanging around the pool, bbq, and popsicle vibes”. So they made me a pool out of flowers with surrounding foliage. They even had a poolside adirondack chair! They are the most creative and talented florists!

For this worried about the mystery illness in dogs this is a great article to ease your mind with facts rather than scare tactics the media is using.
