For decades there have been debates about the the quality of dog food and treats and how good they are for your pet. I have witnessed dogs that eat nothing but the cheapest food live to be 15 years and I’ve seen dogs that only eat high quality food pass away too soon from health issues. We personally use food products where a quality meat is the main ingredient and we mix it with Dr. Harveys (will talk about later). It is more expensive,
but if my dogs could speak, it’s probably what they would say they prefer and they deserve it anyways. When it comes to treats, that’s another story and there are so many healthy and inexpensive options for dog treats, you should consider using them instead. Below is a list of “people food” that are safe treats for your dog to eat and are healthier than what you buy in the store.

Like I mentioned before, we use Dr. Harvey’s - Miracle Dog Food. It’s a holistic blend of 6 organic grains and 9 dehydrated vegetables that we mix with their regular food. When you see the chunks of vegetables in it, you know that your dog is getting some needed vitamins and minerals. If you are someone who is really into your dog’s health through diet, I recommend checking out their website: Dr. Harvey's//www.drharveys.com.
