Pet foods that have been recalled over the years

Many consumers place ‘blind faith’ in the pet food industry. The general consensus is that if a food is on the store shelf, it must be nutritious and safe. But the sad reality is that many pet products (including food and treats) are routinely recalled, but not before there have been dreadful consequences.

Bichon Terrier mix breed grooming

This little dog was in a real need to be groomed. A good bath, fluff dry and lots of de-matting with a slicker brush, a comb and a finish with a clip on comb brought this little cutie back to a cuddling pup.

Playing poodles in the cold weather

Standard poodles playing in the snow

I don't think there is anything cuter that two standard poodles, than two standard poodles playing in the snow together.
It was very cold this day so I put their sweaters on them and didn't let them play to long because of the very cold temperatures. I give them NuJoint DS to help to keep their joints healthy during this cold weather and all times because they are both older. Pippin is 10 years and Bhabha is 9 years old. For just a bit more, I protect them because the alternative is can be very bad.
