Your Questions About Organic Dog Food Coupons
Daniel asks…
What is the best store bought dog food for my Chihuahua and are there coupons?
admin answers:
Our pets need quality food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. “Vet approved” means they have a vet on staff to approve their product. In other words, someone paid to approve it. Same with foods most vets recommend. Salesmen “gift” vets then the vet recommends the food. Most vets are not nutritionists! Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient Wellness, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

Carol asks…
Why is Kate of Jon and Kate plus 8 considered mean?
Once again like my other question, I don’t watch the show but I can’t avoid the news and there’s always something talking about the people in this show. Anyways why is everyone saying the mother is a bitch or mean?
admin answers:
Oh gee i dunno..where do i begin?
1. She shut out her parents b/c they gave them mismatched cribs instead of cash.
2. She wouldn’t let aunt jodi get paid from tlc, and even went behind her back to prevent it from happening.
3. She treats her husband like a dog/disobedient child
4. She takes any handout she can get, and worse than that feels she’s entitled to every free offer on the planet
5. She is so money hungry that she doesn’t care that the publicity from the show is ruining her family.
6. She berated jon over not using a $20 coupon, but spends thousands of dollars on her new hideous look, which includes a rooster/80’s/lesbian hairstyle, at least 20 pairs of new shoes that i’ve seen over the last 2 months, tanning, spa treatments and new clothes.
7. She pretends she does everything herself, when she’s had a LOT of help from day one…more than our grandmothers ever would have dreamed of! (my grandmother had more kids than that…naturally…and NO help)!
8. All she does is take her kids on free vacations and treat others like total garbage.
9. It was HER idea and HER idea alone to continue the show and be followed by cameras. That didn’t “just happen!” she’s willing to put up with it b/c she’s a money-hungry animal.
10. She went through fertility treatments knowing she would have multiples, but went through with it anyway, assuming that her family would be magically provided for.
11. And as far as the organic food, they have been seen drinking frappuchinos and eating fast food for the last couple of months. Do you really think she feeds them organic food on their dozens of vacations each year?
12. The kids college educations are already paid for. In addition to that, they get 75 grand per episode…plus money from autographs, books and speaking engagements.
13. She fires every helper that comes into the house!
14. She is a fraud.
15. She alienated all of her family and closest friends.
16. There are other families of mutliples who have chosen to provide for their families on their own………
Ruth asks…
Moms- How much do you spend on groceries per week?
And for how many kids / people? I have 3 kids, but only 2 who consume groceries.. and a very hungry husband. I am thinking I could be cutting costs somewhere, so what is your average?
admin answers:
For me, my husband and son I can do 2 weeks worth of grocery shopping for dinners and other meals on $165 which boils down to about $80 a week… And no, we do not eat hamburger helper and pasta either. Mostly I buy alot of fresh things when I can, no processed junk foods or sodas. I do not buy organic (which allows you to buy less because it costs more and therefore the healthy food you need you don’t get enough of). I coupon clip, compare sales ads for the stores near me for the best prices and double coupon offers(when they have them). I look for buy one get one free offers in my market on things I need, buy store brand things for more pricey fair if it is something I need on my list etc.. If your store has a shopper card that allows you discounts or special buy pricing get one. They are usually free at places that have these and you can use them with coupons. I find it also helps to sit down before grocery day and plan my menus out. I do several “cook once and eat twice” type meals, especially in summer weather (left over chicken makes a great salad topper for dinner salada OR you can make your own pizza with it, sandwich wraps or even chunk or shred it to make soup etc.. ). Taking a pantry inventory and then planning my menus accordingly not only saves me money at the market but it also guarantees that there is minimal to no waste.
My son is a toddler and eats table foods like we do, but at least for now it doesn’t add much to the final total (and I don’t consider an extra gallon of milk here or there for my little milk-a-holic to be a big deal).
My bill includes ALL items, including home items and pet supplies (5 cats, 2 dogs). I use petco for my pet food because every 10 bags I buy there I get a free bag which can save me about $20 on those trips for pet food. My husband and I are major foodies so we tend to shop accordinly. I use publix as my main market but I also use Brunos (like a whole foods market ), Whole Foods. When travelling and in need of a grocery store I look for either a Whole Foods, Central Market or somewhere comparable. I also find that using COSTCO for certain items like paper goods, common staple items, cleaning items and meats about 3 times a year helps. It’s alot on those trips (usually $500) but we only do it 3 times a year and in the long run it saves us money because I am not continually buying things like meat, flour, sugar, paper towels, laundry supplies etc.. At the market all the time which can add up. There are just some items that buying in bulk makes sense for us to buy it large, store it in our pantry and then worry about just what we need week to week for meals. I am in the South Eastern US.
Nancy asks…
i need to switch cat food?
i use vet cat food and it is very expensive. i use it for one of my cats who used to have bad hairballs. the vet food works well but i need something less expensive. please help.
i went to vet today and she suggested i keep the vet brand cat food. i have heard that the better more expensive foods do pay dividends. ie. litter box waste, healthier cat, etc. am i wrong?
admin answers:
You know, getting a good all around naturally balanced healthy and complete food will take care of hairballs and more! First off, for the health of your cat i would suggest avoiding any ingredient labels that contain byproducts, wheat, corn, soy, BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, dies, artificial flavours and preservatives. These are pointless fillers, additivies, and things that are for human appeal and bad for animals kidneys and livers! Allright ill lead you in the direction of Eagle Pack Holisitic Select, this is what we recomend at the hospital i work for and i recomend it from experience with my cats and dogs. It eliminated hairballs naturally, firms up stool, decreases odor, miracoulously improves skin conditions and is amazing!! All natural, usda organic, the vitamins come from naturally occuring things like carrots, blueberries etc…. Not a chemical formula that can not be metabolized. They are not expensive and always have BOGO coupons.

A Happy Dog Is A Well-Behaved Dog
In our society, there is a tendency to have a political response to most things. Many people are of the opinion that criminals transgress due to an unhappy home life or a poor upbringing. Comfort and discomfort are a major part of the influence that affects a person’s life, whether you are of the opinion that some people are “just bad” or otherwise. By the same token, dogs are liable to react to their circumstances, and it is well-known that a more content dog will behave in a more respectful manner.
When it comes to training a dog, you will get results if you motivate by fear. However, these results may not be satisfactory to you because although the dog will respond to commands, it will do so tentatively, conscious as it is of the fact that getting it wrong will lead to punishment. If a dog is trained in a happy atmosphere with an owner who is prone to reward good behavior, then it will react to the correct stimuli in the correct way. It will behave in a way which makes you feel proud, rather than simply satisfied.
If you have concerns about being too “soft” with your dog, simply remember that a dog will react in kind to the way it is treated. If you let it be lazy, then it will take the opportunity – simply because that is what it knows. If you encourage activity, however, it will reward you with the behavior that you want from it.

Your Questions About Dog Training Colorado

Does anyone know a dog trainer who would like to be a mentor?
I’m currently a student with Animal Behavior College and I’m looking for a mentor in Alameda county. It is a paying gig. I need to have 60 hours of hands on, positive reinforcement dog training.

I know of some in Colorado, including myself. But none in Alameda county, CA. Look up trainers in your area online and start shooting them emails.
Ken asks…
How much does it cost to ship a dog from Florida to Michigan?
I want to adopt a dog (or puppy), but it’s being sold in Florida at a rescue center. It’s been fostered and it’s a great breed, but I live in Michigan and I want to get it so bad! It’s a fantastic dog, already house trained and that. How much would it cost to ship it here? PLEASE answer and please be around the exact cost!! Thanks!!
admin answers:
From Florida to Michigan would be around $180-$200. Contact Northwest Airlines. I have used them for shipping before and like them the best. They do actually ship COD at times. I sent an 8 week old Shepherd pup from Indiana to Mobile, Alabama a while back in an intermediate crate and it was less than $170. I used United once to ship to Colorado. It worked out alright as well. Most airlines will want to ship a dog on a direct flight. Call around to different airlines that come into your airport. Make sure that they get a health certificate on the dog before they ship.
Helen asks…
How do you get into training companion dogs?
When we move to Colorado, I so would like to do this! Any ideas?
admin answers:
I need a companion dog trained for me, maybe we can do business. I have an anxiety problem, and a note from my doctor excusing any pet restrictions on rental properties so I can have a dog. However, I have had no luck finding a trainer in this area at all, and I need to find a dog that is trained. I know we are quite a ways apart (I am in Iowa), but maybe we can arrange something.
Laura asks…
How do get my dog to potty outside?
My husband and I went to Colorado for the holidays and got a six month old Corgi. While staying with his Mom, she was great at telling us when she needed to potty, but now that we are back in Northern CA she refuses to potty outside. She is pottying in her crate. We will take her outside knowing she has just ate or right before bedtime and she will beg to go back in, just potty on the floor minutes after entering the house. What can we do?
admin answers:
I would suggest going outside with your dog. When I potty trained my puppy, I would take him to the same spot in the yard every time. That way they can smell what they are there to do. While we were out there I would say “go potty” every couple of seconds. When he did go, he got a treat immediately. Don’t wait until you get back to the house to give the treat, do it right away. Also, if you know your dog has to go (hasn’t gone for awhile), don’t come in till she goes. It will take some persistence on your part, too. My dog is 2 years old now but he was potty trained very quickly. He knows now that he is ONLY allowed to potty in “his” area (makes it nice for poop clean up), and he pretty much will go on demand with “go potty”.
Also, is her crate to big? Until she is FULLY potty trained, she should only have enough room to stand up, turn around, and lay down. Any extra room allows for her to have a “potty area” and a “sleep area”. Dogs do not like laying where they soiled.
Good luck! Don’t give up, it’ll come with time. 🙂
Daniel asks…
I’m a dog trainer and want to know what rate I should rent a space for group classes?
I’m a dog trainer just south of Devner, Colorado and have been looking into rentable space to hold group classes. I found a doggie daycare/boarding place that is opening near me who has a space but both the owner an myself have never done this before. Anyone out there know anyone or personally have experience doing this? Is there a rate per month or percentage given to the landlord?
Other advice?
admin answers:
This is something to be worked out with the daycare and a contract drawn up so neither party gets more or less than agreed upon.
How big will your classes be? What will you charge per training session?(6 wks., 8 wks., 10 wks. Per session) How many nights a week will you be offering classes.
Example: $75 enrollment fee. 10 dogs max per class = $750 per session. 3 classes per week =$2250 per session. If you did 8 week sessions with a week off between sessions for you to rest, you could do 5 sessions per year if you took December off for the holidays.
The training club I belong to does 4 -10 week sessions each year with a 2 week break between sessions. We end the last session just after Thanksgiving and have December off. We charge $75 for the 10 weeks for new students. Club members pay $40 per session and Dues of $50 for a single and $75 for a family per year.
We also own our 12,000 Sq. Ft. Building. Www.tulsadogs.com to check out the website. We offer classes 4 nights a week, 2 nightly sessions plus morning classes and weekend classes.

Frist few ingredients must be meet. Preferabble fish or turkey. Meat that shelties would eat in the wild. He is about 15 pounds.
admin answers:
If you have the time and the interest, you could consider home cooked meals. Here’s one site with dog food recipe: http://www.monkeysee.com/play/6572-serving-dog-food
This way, you pick out the content yourself and have complete awareness of quality of product.
If you want a dog food, consider something that has no recent history of recalled product or repeat recalls in the past years. Some to consider:
http://www.sojos.com/europa.html
Some dog foods are labeled “organic” or “holistic” but some of these have been recalled due to inferior gluten products that were in other foods recalled during the massive series of recalls that started some years ago.
Here’s a site to keep updated on recalled dog foods:

Thomas asks…
What are your opinions on this dog food?
I recently switched my 3 year old Golden Retriever Jack onto a grain free diet. I bought Blue Wilderness Dog Food, the duck recipe. (I chose the Wilderness rather than the Regular because I do agility with Jack, & the Wilderness has higher protein levels, etc.)
I have 2 questions actually!
1: What does holistic mean? I’ve seen it before, but I’m not entirely sure what it means.
2: What are your opinions on this food? Is it worth it’s price, etc?
Thanks for your help ahead of time! 🙂
admin answers:
Hi Abby,
You have some great questions. The word “holistic” doesn’t really mean anything at all when applied to dog foods. It sounds good to buyers, because they assume that the food is organic, natural, healthy, or human-grade. Here’s a good website that defines the terms you may be seeing on dog food bags: http://www.canadianpetconnection.com/organic-holistic-natural-does-all-mean/.
This food is expensive because of the ingredients used, the fact that it’s grain free, and the high protein content. I don’t believe that dogs are strict carnivores and that they absolutely need grain-free diets, but you should do some research for yourself and decide what you want to believe about this highly controversial topic. In my opinion, high protein foods for dogs are a waste of money – you’re paying for extra protein that just isn’t doing your dog any good. The AAFCO has done research on the appropriate amount of protein in dog foods, and some foods, like Blue Wilderness, are very high in protein, and exceed normal amounts. Having said that, it’s not a bad food, but there are probably cheaper options that are just as healthy for Jack. But don’t take my word for it – there are plenty of resources out there that have nutrition information for dogs.
Carol asks…
Where is the best place to find organic meat?
I want to have a dog, and I want to feed them right, not with that cheap dog food.
I live in southern california, and I want to feed a yorkshire terrier maybe a mix of the following:
(all organic)
beef meat, grounded up veggies, (somehow…) grounded up bone, and maybe any organs in the cow or something.
I also gotta find out how to grind up bone.
But I want a label besides the USDA to certify they’re organic.
admin answers:
Most of the grocery stores sell organic meats these days. There are always the natural markets too. I agree with you and feeding a dog right. I have 3. One of them is allergic to corn and wheat ( mostly what plain old pet food is made of with very little meat) I took all 3 of them if commercial dog food and feed them the european stlye dog food. Sojos.com is where you can get it. It’s a dry mix of grains and other nutrients. You mix a said amount with water and soak it,then add veggies and meats. It can even be made ahead and frozen. I took their recipe and tweaked it to make my own mix. My dog’ s health, coat, energy level and overall well being has greatly improved. The one with the allergies is all clear now. If you don’t want to mess with all that there are some wonderful organic dog foods on the market usually available in natural markets. They can be kind of pricey, but if you have a small dog it won’t be that bad. Price isn’t always important when it comes to our beloved pets.
Susan asks…
What is a good dog food to fatten up my rescued Pit Bull/Boxer mix?
I recently rescued a Doggie from Abusive owners. He is wonderful and luckily has a clean bill of health. Only Problem is he is very underweight! What are some good quality Dog foods that will fatten him up and also taste good? (he is a picky eater)
admin answers:
Blue Buffalo is a great, high quality, fair priced food if your looking for doggie food.
However, consider people food.
(Always make it plain, no spices, etc.) Broiled chicken, plain white rice, turkey, cheese, some dogs like cream cheese, peanut butter, carrots, green beans, dog meatballs (google for the recipe, can’t remember where I found it.) and other wholesome, organic foods.
Just make sure the meals are balanced and that he gets ALL of his food groups!

You Reap What You Sow
Dogs in general have a tendency to follow their instincts and their influences. Canine behavior is something that has given countless experts reason to write countless books, and as far and wide as you go you are unlikely to find an expert who advocates an aggressive manner of dog training. The reason for this is that dogs absorb what they are taught very quickly, and behaving aggressively towards a dog will influence it to behave in an equally aggressive manner. Deep down in every dog, there is the instinct of a wolf – because that is what they have descended from.
Now, if you find a wolf in the wild and take an aggressive posture towards it, the wolf will not back down. It is likely to go for your throat and not stop until either you or it are incapacitated. Although domestic dogs have lost something of that instinct and ferocity, there is buried deep down a tendency to react with aggression when it is backed into a corner by an owner – if you strike a dog, it may back down. If you repeatedly strike it, it will react as any animal under threat – and it will hurt you.
Give a dog fun, exercise and affection and it will reciprocate in the most wonderful way. Its instinct is to form a bond with its owner and do anything it can to please them. Use this instinct to your advantage, and watch your dog blossom into someone you can be proud of, rather than a wolf with slightly blunted teeth and instincts.

The Secrets Of Potty Training
Many people who have brought a very young puppy to their homes know what great moments the family can cherish with such a toy-pet. But, in order for everything to be really perfect, you may need to learn a few things about potty training for your puppy. First of all, we need to mention that potty training for your puppy proves completely effective around six months of age. With very young dogs, you cannot expect control over bladder and bowels. Therefore the first tip to learn potty training for your puppy is to keep it off carpets into a special enclosed area.
Then, potty training for your puppy requires that you make up your mind where you’re going to apply it: indoors, outdoors or both. The best idea is to teach your dog to let you know when it’s got an urge. Start potty training for your puppy by taking it in a leash to the corner you’ve prepared for it; do this after every meal, and you’ll drastically reduce the risk of ‘accidents’ on your floor. Another tip to use when potty training for your puppy is to try and feed it on dry dog food as this gives consistency to the stool.
What about the water you give it? Potty training for your puppy may prove a little difficult since young dogs need lots of liquid for their growing process. Leave a bowl with fresh water all day long for it to drink but remove it two hours before bedtime. This is part of the potty training for your puppy, as there will be less peeing over night. Taking the puppy out should be the first thing you do in the morning and the last one in the evening.
All the family members should be involved in potty training for your puppy, since no one can stay all day long around the house, making sure the puppy potties in the right place. Be patient with your pet as potty training for your puppy may be quite challenging, sometimes even the dog’s breed has a word to say in the receptiveness to training. If you don’t want to bother with potty training for your puppy, then you can buy an older dog that has already been potty trained. Or there is always the option of adopting an adult pet from the many rescue centers.
