Jenna & Snickers Promote Humane Education and Responsible Dog Ownership
I'm not a nutritionist or a veterinarian. I don't spend hours and hours per week studying and discussing canine dietary needs like many enthusiasts do. I want my dogs to live forever though, so I do try to feed them the best diet I can, get them regular healthcare, and avoid putting extraneous and dangerous chemicals into their bodies.
There is a GLUT of information online about dog nutrition and health. Some of it is great and some of it is nonsense. Additionally, I've found that many vets know very little about nutrition, so doing your own research is important. I'm no expert by any means, but I occasionally post about what I've learned regarding diet and nutrition. Please feel free to join the conversation by commenting on any post.
