Food for Thought--Picky Dogs
Odie "scanning" his food If your dog is less than enthusiastic
about meal time, prefers table scraps or doesn't like their food, they may be trying to tell you about important nutritional needs.  Being picky may be a call for help or even a clue to a serious medical condition.  Pay attention and take appropriate action.  See Picky Dogs
New Classes starting in March 2008

CORE...Grain Free Dog Food
Core Dog Food-grain free CORE is a new dog food by Old Mother Hubbard Wellness.  It is grain free, with a protein base of turkey and chicken, and with a variety of veggies.  We have both original recipe and reduced calorie (only 6% fat) versions in stock.  Samples are available for free.  If you suspect your dog has an allergy or sensitivity to grains, you might want to give it a try.  Or just for the fun of it, try it in some taste tests.
New Treat "Pecks" from THK Coming Soon
  The Honest Kitchen, makers of the wonderful dehydrated whole raw food diets, and treats Smooches and Nuzzles, has announced a new treat, coming soon.  "Pecks" includes buffalo and blueberries, in a recipe free of wheat, corn, soy and poultry.
  They are also making a slight change to existing treats, replacing chicken fat with a healthier alternative, organic extra virgin coconut oil.
By way of advanced notice, and for your planning, Canines Unlimited will be closed April 17-24, 2008, for continuing training classes in Canine Freestyle (dancing with dogs).  Wednesday night, April 23, will be a skip week for Obedience classes. Obedience class expiration dates will be extended one week.
 
Happy Leap Year to all!
