Best Bully Sticks Launches Dr. Harveys Dog Food Companions and Pre-Mixes

We are excited to bring you a two revolutionary dog/cat food pre-mixes. These freeze dried veggies and veggie/grain mixes are a fantastic way to provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber to your pooch. By adding the mixes to your pooches diet, you will give your dog the key to proper nutrition and a happier, healthier life. You can add the mix to your pooches current food or you can also add it to your pooches raw food diet (it works great with the Oma's Pride freeze-dried food).

Many of the dog foods out there are packed with preservatives and additives to make the food last a long time. In fact, no meat can stay at room temperature for more than a few hours. This is why commercial dog foods use so many preservatives to keep the meat they use from spoiling. They also use dyes and artificial flavors to enhance the way the food looks and tastes. Dr. Harvey's contains no preservatives, no coloring agents, and no artificial flavors.

Dr. Harvey has two formulas; Veg-to-Bowl which contains only veggies and Canine Health which contains 6 certified organic grains, 9 vegetables, and 13 herbs. When these meals are combined with fresh protein and oils, the result is the healthiest meal available for your pooch. Go to each individual listing to see how it works. We have started our dogs on the Veg-to-Bowl and Oma's Pride food and not only are they getting the healthiest food out there, but they go bonkers for breakfast and dinner!

To us the coolest part of Dr. Harvey's products are that they make any and every food out there BETTER, so if you are feeding raw, dry kibble, wet food, etc... you can enhance it!  Make sure to give Dr. Harveys a try we are sure that you won't be disappointed!

Best Bully Sticks Launches Omas Pride Raw Dog Food and Treats

Best Bully Sticks Launches Omas Pride Raw Dog Food and Treats

We are happy to announce the arrival of some just plain amazing dog food. We have been feeding this to our dogs for the last month and have already noticed a difference in their skin, coat, and energy level. The combination of fresh raw ingredients provides a healthy alternative to dry and canned pet foods, with the same convenience.

Many dry pet foods contain high levels of sugar, salt, and preservatives. In addition, the cooking process that dry food undergos rids the food of many of the important nutrients that our pets need. Questionable chemicals are also added to dry food to make the product a "balanced diet".

Dogs are carnivores (meat eaters) yet most dry dog foods contain at least 60% grain. Although this is needed to bind the kibble together, there are no benefits to feeding this much grain to our pets. It is simply filler!

Oma's Pride is; 100% USDA inspected and approved, contains no by-products, and contains no grains, wheat, corn, or soy. In addition, they offer a variety of proteins that ensure that your pet will receive a full spectrum of nutrients he/she needs to achieve vibrant health.

This is perfect for the following people:

• People that want to try raw feeding for the first time
• Raw feeders that want a more convenient way to feed raw
• Raw feeders that are going on vacation

Oma's Pride recommends rotating the protein source and oil weekly. We mix the raw food with either salmon oil, flax seed oil, olive oil, or canola oil and mix in some fresh veggies.

I have never seen our dogs so excited to get their food, so make sure to give it a try!

How To Prevent Ticks From Frustrating Your Dog - 101 Dog Care Tips- Tip 14

How To Prevent Ticks From Frustrating Your Dog - 101 Dog Care Tips- Tip 14

One of the unavoidable - and unpleasant - inconveniences of owning a dog is the possibility of her getting ticks. Try to remember, she doesn't like them any more than you do. You need to check her coat regularly, especially if she spends a lot of time outside. Otherwise, your pooch can contract Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and other illnesses. You might also find the pests inside your home.

If you have never seen a tick before, they can appear unsettling. There's nothing to fear. In this article, we'll explore how you can safely check for them and remove them. I'll also explain how you can prevent their becoming a problem in the first place.

Checking And Removing Them

First, it's important to realize what these pests do when they climb aboard your dog. They hide in grass and vegetation. When your canine companion brushes past, they transfer themselves to her coat. Then, they dig into her skin and begin feeding on her blood. They eventually fall off her body when they have finished feeding.

You should check your pooch's coat every day if she ventures outside. The first step is to move your hand through her coat. If ticks are present, you'll feel tiny bumps. If you find the pests, don gloves to protect your hands and use tweezers to extract them.

Be careful when using the tweezers. If you do the extraction poorly, you might inadvertently leave a portion of the body under your dog's skin. Once you remove a tick, do not kill it by squeezing (that can lead to infection). Instead, place it in an enclosed container and flush its body down the toilet.

Your canine companion's skin is going to be sensitive after you remove the burrowed ticks. Wash the affected area with soap and water, and apply an antiseptic in order to clean it.

Preventing Their Presence

There are a number of topical formulations and other products that are sold in pet supply stores which can help prevent your dog from getting ticks. But, none are infallible. Common products include K9Advantix, Frontline Plus, and Proticall, but speak with your veterinarian and ask for recommendations.

A Tick-Free Dog Is A Happy One

Your pooch can't do the job alone. She can scratch and bite at the ticks which are burrowing under her skin, but she relies upon you to get them out for her. Check her coat every day, especially during the warm seasons. If you find them, remove them and clean the affected area. Finally, ask your vet to recommend tick prevention products. Not only will your dog be grateful for your help, but you'll be glad you took the time.
