Don’t go with the cheaper pet food because of the economy.
During these hard economic times we are all trying to save money. However you might end up paying more by going with the cheaper mass produced pet food. Your pet will eat more of the by-product food. They will crave more nutrients and will keep eating until they are satisfied.
You might be saving per bag but it will cost you more depending on how fast your pet consumes the food. So on average if your pet eats around two cups of healthy all natural food they will eat about three to four cups of the cheaper bi-product to be satisfied. The average large bag of all natural pet food will be consumed in a month when compared to the cheaper bi-product brand that will be consumed in 2 or 3 weeks.
I would suggest doing a price comparison and measure the quantity of food you are giving your pet per month. You can generally gage this by noticing if your pet consumes for example a large bag in 3, 4 or 6 weeks. Some all natural brands offer the recommended cups per meal or day per weight of your dog or breed. You might discover that your foods costs are about the same or less.
And most importantly your pet consumes more nutrients with the all natural brand compared to the cheaper bi-product brand. Eating more of the less healthy food will cause other issues like bad digestion and your pet may feel less energetic. I see it as a great investment where your return is a healthy happy pet that lives for more years to come.

Stuffed plush toys
I almost feel guilty for selling plush toys at our store that rip apart in 10 seconds once your dog gets to them. We sell them because our customers like the cute fuzzy animal characters. So when one of these toys are purchased we make sure to tell out customer to grab the cotton stuffing before it’s gobbled up from their dogs. Now I have not heard any dog being sick for eating the cotton and normally it comes out. My proof was in the backyard.
However for dogs to maintain their healthy digestive system and prevent diarrhea we advise either to get a more durable toy that won’t be destroyed instantly or pick up the cotton stuffings right away and let your dog chew on the outer cover of the stuffed toy. Some dogs get to the stuffings faster than others so be on alert.
For a durable toy take a look at our Kong balls or West Paw Zogoflex toys. They should last a lot longer and you don’t have to worry about your dog swallowing unhealthy material.
