This is Malcom, and he tells all his dog friends to eat Dog Lovers Gold.  Malcom was dropped off at Barking Beauties in horrible condition.  His fur was matted and he was very underweight.  Malcom had been eating a nationally known Puppy Chow formula...sorry to say but it was full of very poor ingredients such as corn gluten meal and animal by-products.  He never knew how it felt to run in the sunshine and fresh air.  His skin had sores and dandruff and his paws were red from constantly licking them.  Luckily for Malcom, he was switched over to Dog Lovers Gold that has none of those inferior ingredients that make a dog feel full but don't actually contain anything good that builds strong muscles, shiny coat and it has no corn, wheat or soy.  Those 3 cheap filler ingredients are widely recognized by vets to cause severe allergies in dogs...yet if vets told everyone about it, they'd have very few clients.  Vets make their money on allergy shots, pills, shampoos and a hundred other things that really never cure the dogs itching problems, ear infections, goopy runny eyes and digestive problems.  Please switch your dogs over to Dog Lovers Gold.  Its the cheapest, simplest solution for health problems and soooo good for your pet.  (Of course, some dog's problems have been going on for YEARS & they may still need a prescription ALONG with a change of food.  They may have chewed themselves raw, it became infected and they need and antibiotic or anti-fungal to clear things up first, before they see the ongoing good results of a diet change.)
 
 IF YOUR DOG IS LICKING HIS PAWS & BASE OF HIS TAIL,
THEN STOP FEEDING HIM A FOOD THAT CAUSES HIS ALLERGIES!
 
     The #1 allergy of dogs is wheat, #2 is corn and #3 is soybeans.  They make dogs miserable.  Every  dog food sold in grocery chains, Wal-Mart and most feed mills has it. Wheat gluten and corn gluten is not digestible by dogs and is not always free from mold & yeast from sitting in grain silos and cargo ships from China.  Also most grain in the dog food industry is imported....while we in America are exporting our own home-grown grains overseas.
    Dog Lovers Golduses no corn, safflower or sunflower oil.  They use only flaxseed and fish oil from fish that is free of mercury.  The Swedish Cancer Society study showed a 69% increase in the risk of cancer if sunflower or safflower or corn oils are used. 
     Most dogs are not allergic to meats as many vets say.  They are allergic to meat that is denatured to kill the maggots.  When you think meat (as in "meat" on the dog food label,) its not steak or chicken legs.  It is meat that was never ever going to make it onto the human's dining room table or restaurant table.  It comes through rendering plants which render (or cook) a mixture of long dead, diseased and crippled animals.  It also includes road kill, expired grocery store meats from which they don't even bother to unwrap the plastic and Styrofoam trays.  It also can come from fast food places, feed lots, and YES, even animal shelters. 
     Thousands of TONS of euthanized dogs and cats make their way to rendering plants as well.  It's  considered a "meat" source.  When you see the word "MEAT" or Meat by-products, it does not mean beef or chicken  or lamb. Lamb is labeled 'Lamb', and Chicken is labeled 'Chicken' etc. etc...  Anything unrecognizable is called "MEAT". 
     If a dead raccoon or deer or possum is picked up from the side of  the road and is covered with maggots and asphalt, there is a possibility it may end up in the rendering plant's vat of slurry, and it may end up in a major pet food manufacturing plant as a source of 'animal protein' or 'animal fat'.  This material is bought and sold on the common market and it is a dirty little secret that they don't want us to know about.  ALL the huge producers of pet food run the risk of getting batches of ingredients, whether meats or grains, that are contaminated with carcinogenic and toxic chemicals.
    Dog Lovers Gold is produced in small batches in a smaller kitchen....where close control over the ingredients and processing is maintained.  Their meat WAS destined for human consumption.  Its all federally inspected by the US Department of Agriculture and is safe for people to eat; all of it, the meat, the fish, even the whole grain brown rice.  It is naturally preserved with rosemary and vitamin C, not BHA or BHT that are known to cause cancer. 
    When you feed a better food, you have a healthier pet.  It will live much much longer and have less visits to a vet for ear infections, skin problems, hot spots  and health problems.  The paw staining and licking will be gone and the fur & eyes will shine brightly.  Dogs lick themselves because they are in pain.  Their bodies try to rid themselves of the toxins found in their pet food by 'pushing' them out of their sweat glands found in the paws, ears, under the chin, rectal area, and between their hind legs.  Just like when we burn our finger, we put our finger in our mouth to sooth the pain.  The motion of the tongue releases endorphins and the poor dog is trying to ease its discomfort by licking itself.

QUESTION: WHAT ABOUT CANNED FOODS?  My dog likes a little wet food mixed into his dry food.  It makes him eat all of his food.
ANSWER:  Most can dog dinners are pure garbage mixed in with 75% water.  Its a huge waste of money and its not healthy at all.  2 of the worst wet foods out there are Little Caesars and Mighty Dog (as rated by the Whole Dog Journal).  Pure Junk!   
 
How much does a whole chicken cost per pound?  About $1 per pound, if that?  You can make the equivalent of 20 cans of chicken stew type dog food for a few dollars.  Follow the basic recipe and if you don't have kelp or a few other ingredients, don't sweat it.   Sometimes I make it with nothing but chicken and parsley.  The dogs gobble it up, its cheap, filling, healthy and I know its better than anything in a can.  The recipe is called SPOTS STEW.  The Halo company created it for 1 sick cat about 25 years ago.  Its so healthy and so popular, Ellen Degeneres bought 1/4 of the company.   So here's the recipe on this link.
 
QUESTION:  WHAT ABOUT TREATS?  IS TABLE FOOD A BAD TREAT? 
ANSWER: Some dogs live for treat time.  Its how they know they did something good.  Treat time makes dogs happy.  They know where the treats are kept and they can awaken from a coma if they hear the word "treats" or "goodies".   Some dogs eat too many treats and others NEVER get treats.  Treats can be quite expensive, that's why they're given in small quantities. 
 
BUT the NUTRITIONAL VALUE of treats, MOST treats, is horrible.  They don't even have to adhere to the loose standards that are required for dog food....its really the worst stuff you can give your dog.  The worst type are the "soft and moist" type treats.  Click on this site, please.
 Just read the garbage they put into these popular treats...basically sawdust that sticks together with the added "animal fat" and red dye 40.  The name implies real meat and/or bones but it has nothing of the sort.  Image what just one a day for a period of say 5-7 years could do to your dog's health?  Why not just feed him  cancerous mice from a science lab that they perform experiments on? (I do know that dead mice and rats that are killed by exterminators DO go into the rendering plants where some dog foods come from.  Aren't they poisoned?)
 
Lets look at one more example of bad treats. click on this.
WHAT possible nutritional value is in these?  There is none and what's worse, they actually harm the dog.  I don't mean that after 1 bag of treats, the dog is going to die, but day after day, and year after year, these ingredients build up in the dog's cells, deep in its core and it eventually  affects the dog's overall health.  Since they are unhealthy, and unnecessary, quit buying them for your dog. 
 
So now you want to know what kind of treats you SHOULD be buying if you are going to give him a reward every once in a while.  Here at Barking Beauties, we carry treats called "Nothing But"...because they contain nothing but what the label says.  We have about 8 varieties.  Lamb Lung, Beef Lung, Beef Heart, Turkey Heart, Chicken Livers, Lamb Liver, Chicken Feet and Pork Heart.  They are freeze dried and contain nothing but what it says it is.  Its all protein.  Its so simple.  Real food for real dogs provides real nutrition and nothing more.
 
 
If you don't like the idea of freeze dried organ meats, there are a lot of good treats at my favorite pet shops.
 
 
 
 
 
I prefer to shop at Leone's Animal Supply  
 
Pet Supplies Plus now called Burton's Total Pet in Cranberry. 
 
Look for treats SUCH AS THIS when you go there.  I'm not saying this is THE best, but its the TYPE of thing to look for
 
But here's my thinking on that particular treat....Look at the ingredients.  Its nothing but 100% beef.  So next time you are at Giant Eagle, Costco or any meat market, buy a lean roast or steak and cook some JUST for the dogs....cut it into little slices and freeze them.  Its the exact same thing.  Same goes for chicken.  Season with garlic or italian seasoning..no salt and freeze bite size pieces in a zip-loc baggie. 
 
OH, but you are saying...."MY vet says NO TABLE FOOD!"
Here is where I strongly disagree.  I say that table MEAT-POTATOES-VEGGIES & some FRUIT is Great.  The very finest dog foods on the market are human grade meats with veggies such as potatoes, zucchini, carrots, spinach, kale, peas and fruits like apple, blueberries & cranberries.  So if its good enough to be sold for $50+ a bag, then why would it be wrong to feed it to your?  It doesn't make any sense. 
 
SOME TABLE FOODS ARE A BIG FAT NO-NO! The vet doesn't want to see your pet get violently ill with pancreatitis if it eats fatty meats, hams, greasy turkey skin/dark meat.  Other things that make dogs really sick MIGHT POSSIBLY be lunch meats, too much hot dog,  bacon grease, dairy products (except a little yogurt which is fine), the fat trimmings from beef and pork roasts.  These things CAN lead to a trip to the emergency vet.  The excessive fat causes the intestines to scream NO MORE!  Then the vomiting and diarrhea starts and its hard and expensive to stop. 
 
The GOOD types of table foods once again are lean meats, fruits, veggies, potatoes and possibly a little rice, barley or even oatmeal.  The food you MUST avoid is often the most commonly fed.....its anything with WHEAT.  Foods that are NO GOOD are crackers, bread, buns, cookies, the breading on chicken or fish, pretzels, noodles or any type of pasta.  If you go to a drive thru at McDonalds with your dog, I know a lot of people give their dog McNuggets.  The chicken is good but the breading makes it intolerable to dogs with wheat allergies....which is another subject.  But every single type of dog biscuit on the market is made with WHEAT.  I want you to start VIEWING WHEAT AS THE ENEMY.
WHEAT = allergies
ALLERGIES = misery for the dog and  money at the vet
 
SO lets say this together: 
I WILL NOT GIVE MY DOG ANY MORE WHEAT AND NO GREASY MEATS
 
If you want to give a good wholesome treat but still don't know what to look for after reading this, just come into the shop and buy one of my  "Nothing But" treats because I know its safe and healthy for your dog.
 
Its a HIGH VALUE TREAT. That simply means that its NOT like the dry doggie biscuits (ie:  Milkbones or Iams Biscuits) that have no flavor.  Every drive-thru window will ask if you dog would like a treat.....its always a cheapie full-of-wheat biscuit.  JUST SAY NO...NO MORE WHEAT.  Wheat is CAUSING your dog a lot of ear infections, paw licking, red itchy skin, and excessive shedding.  Dogs will eagerly  sit up & beg or do a trick for a HIGH VALUE TREAT.  Whether its used to teach a young pup to sit or to reward an older dog for not barking, these HIGH VALUE TREATS mean alot to your dog.  They are sick and tired of the biscuits that are making them sick and tired.

This is one of the most "eye-opening" books you'll ever read.  You will come to learn that dead dogs and cats end up in bags of commercial dog foods....And the euthanasia drug is still in the end product.
 
 
 
Read the ingredients on the can of Halo Spot's Stew, then make a batch yourself at home.  Its as easy as making a pot of chicken soup.  This is the company that Ellen Degeneres is part owner of because she believes in feeding her own pets "REAL" food.
