It's Complicated...

We're living in a time where we can't have discussion unless we're all on the same side.  The words "I disagree," have become triggering to many people, making them feel attacked when it's perfectly reasonable that we all have different perspectives.

I understand the passion and frustration, but I've learned that my time is better spent talking with people who are interested in talking, not bickering. It's more fun trading experiences, knowledge, and ideas with an open-minded dog lover; and less stressful.

Why I Still Feed Darwin's Pet

There's a lot of opinions floating around about Darwin's Pet. When people learn that I feed Darwin's Pet, because the FDA has done a wonderful job of planting questions in the minds of dog lovers.

Ultimately, we should do what's best for our individual dogs.  And, for my dogs, Darwin's will always be a part of the menu (when my budget allows):

1. I began feeding Darwin's Pet in 2013 and I credit this brand for saving Rodrigo's life.
2. Gary, the founder of Darwins Pet, is a friend and a wonderful man who loves animals and is focused on providing a high quality food for our pets.
3. I've visited their plant several times - it's clean, organized, and there were no red flags.
4. Many stories that have been published about Darwin's have been misleading and incomplete.
5. The FDA has made a habit of targeted raw food companies, which lead to the development of a trade organization to protect raw food brands.

Darwin's Pet doesn't pay me to promote their food or say positive things about them. Yes, I am an affiliate, which means that if you buy their food through a link I share, I might earn a small commission that might cover a bag of dog treats.

Someone recently asked me to share how I use stinging nettles and dandelions in my veggie mix.

I'll be foraging more nettles this week. They're great for environmental allergies and other inflammatory conditions.  I hang dry them and will be mixing up a small veggie mix batch this weekend with vegetables from my garden.
