You don’t have to look at the categories and pages along the right for very long to realize that we like providing answers to dog health questions.
But we aren’t the only blog that likes to help answer your questions about dogs. We have a friend who keeps another blog called “Ask About Dogs” that you’re going to want to take a look at.
The site provides you with dog health and dog care advice of all kinds.

Have you ever entered a dog food sweepstakes? Sometimes my owner does, other times she thinks the odds are against her, so she doesn’t bother. But I’m talking her into getting the Hill’s Healthy Mobility Coupon, because when she does, she will not only get coupons, but will also be entered into a Sweepstakes with the potential of being one of 30 people who will get FREE pet food for a year. I love food!! I’m hoping she’ll win, but even if she doesn’t, she will still be a winner because she’ll have those coupons!
We have used Hill’s Pet Nutrition dog food and it’s very good and healthy. In fact, I think our Veterinarian has it in his office. You can learn more about their amazing Science Diet by clicking any of the links that you see in this post.
The next thing we are going to do is go visit Hill’s Pet Nutrition on Facebook and “Like” them so we can keep up with all the newest information and because we love Facebook so much as a source of information about many things and as a way to keep up with our friends. We hope that we’ll find you there and that you’ll leave a post saying hi!

I have a very sensitive doggie digestive system, and my owner used to have to make a special trip to a feed store to find food that didn’t upset my tummy. Then she discovered Rachael Ray’s Nutrish brand of dog food at our local supermarket, read the ingredients on the package, liked what she saw, and I’ve been eating it for about a year now.
SO, when the opportunity to try a free sample (you can try it too…click the link) of a different variety of Nutrish called Rachael Ray Nutrish just 6 dry dog food , we jumped on the opportunity. My owner knew I liked to open presents, and that’s just what I tried to do when she gave it to me all wrapped in a new dog dish and tied with a ribbon that has dog footprints on it. Here’s a picture of the “present”:…what you can’t see is that the bowl has little dog prints going all the way around it, so cute!
We did a video of me trying to open the package, and may add that later. We do have another picture, but first, let me tell you about the good things in Rachael Ray Nutrish just 6 dry dog food . There are 6 natural ingredients, plus vitamins and minerals that dogs like me need. There are snacks in the “just 6″ line too, but we tried the dog food. The key ingredient in the package we received was lamb, there is also rice, natural chicken flavor, beet pulp, and other nutritious ingredients and vitamins. You can get other varieties as well. There isn’t any corn, wheat or soy…things that more and more dog owners want to avoid. It is a completely balanced diet so you don’t have to worry about your dog missing any of the nutrients he or she needs. Before I go on, here’s another picture of me eating the food:
I should tell you that I am an older dog, and like many older dogs my size, have lost some of my teeth. So my owner adds some water to my dry food. Good dry food that isn’t overly full of cereals does not swell up as much as foods with less meat…we liked how this food responded when we added water. Younger dogs and dogs with a full set of teeth won’t have to worry about adding water.
When you buy Rachael Ray’s Nutrish dog foods, a percentage goes to Racheal’s Rescue. We’re hoping you’ll visit the site and maybe try a free sample. They offer coupons, too!
As a Yorkie, I can tell you having Pancreatitis is not fun…it hurts…and it’s kept me from wanting to blog for a long time, but I’m feeling great now, back to pestering my owner regularly, and now she appreciates it because it means I’m feeling good>:-)<
I am hoping that I went through might help other Yorkie friends out there.
Over the years, I’ve been getting (sorry, this is yucky) diarrhea a lot easier than I used to depending upon what I eat. So my owner has been doing all kinds of things to take things out of my diet, and carefully add new things, very gradually, that’s what you have to do when you’re changing foods with a Yorkie.
One day a month or so ago, I got really bad, and we went to the Vet. We’ve done that before, but this time, the did a blood test for Pancreatitis, and I came up as having it. There are really no medications for this, but they did treat it in almost the same way as they did a year ago in January, 2009, and then we just had to watch and see.
Here’s some things my owner did wrong (I forgive her) and what the doctor had us do:
I finally did get better, then there was the quest to find the right food for me, that’s another story that we’ll share with you in our next post.
It’s good to feel good again!
With a little help from my owner, I’ve opened a little store so you can shop for things JUST for your Yorkie or Yorkies, or things for Yorkshire Terriers and other small dogs. You’ll find just about anything you need and more, even things that you can give to people who love yorkies.
Right now we have the following departments:
It was a lot of fun putting the store together, and we hope you’ll visit by clicking here, or the link to the right of this post in the margin.
