Keeping a dog healthy starts with the food he eats.    Dog food manufacturers don’t always have your pet’s well being top on their list.  They do want to make a profit on those bags of mass marketed dog food.  Not all dog food is junk and I won’t go into what I feed my pets.  I will offer some suggested reading for you to explore the world of dog food, training and natural dog care.
