Learn About My Genuine Commitment to Loving Dog Care and Owner Education.

 

Darlene and her Dog NoahLet’s face it, our lives seem to get busier every day. I lived in the Corporate world for many years and would feel constantly guilty having to leave my dog alone all day. Many think, what is the alternative? Luckily times are changing and we have options. Whether it’s Dog Daycares, pet-friendly hotels, beaches or parks to name a few, you have the choice of leaving your dog home or not. I was lucky to have been the first Doggie Daycare Center to open here on beautiful Cape Cod. As I knew that it would, we maximized our 3000 sq. foot facility in a matter of one year and had a waiting line out the door. I personally know how fulfilling it can be to live your dream and profitable at the same time. My passion has changed direction and now I want to help others open their own Dog Daycare Centers. There is a lot to it but the rewards are endless. Are you thinking of opening a doggie daycare center? Would you like to know what to look for when enrolling your dog? Would you like to increase your current daycare business?

Toxic Chemicles being found in Dogfood - Stay up to date here with Pet / Dogfood Recall

By Dominic Tay

Stay Informed!  Read On...

As a dog owner, you should be always looking for healthier dog food with higher quality.

The problem is that most of the dog owners like you are taught to believe that commercial dog foods are healthier choices for your dogs. The truth is most of them are NOT. Read on to find out why.

Here are the top three death-causing toxic chemicals that can be found in most commercial dog foods:

1. Sodium pentobarbital
2. BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytolulene), Ethoxyquin and Propylene glycol
3. Lead

Their devastating effects have led them to be banned from human consumption. Read on to find out.

Sodium pentobarbital is the chemical that veterinarians use to put dogs and cats to ‘sleep’. This toxic chemical cannot be removed completely during food processing. So when your dog eats those commercial dog foods, it is possible for this death-causing toxic to accumulate inside their body system permanently. When it reaches a toxic level, it will kill, if not, cause irreversible damages to your dog’s body system eventually causing it to fall ill easily or result in organ failure.

BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytolulene), ethoxyquin and propylene glycol are commonly used as fat stabilizers in dog foods as preservatives. BHA and BHT cause liver and kidney dysfunction while ethoxyquin is a potential cancer-causing agent. Hence, many companies have claimed that they moved away from using ethoxyquin. Another toxic chemical, propylene glycol, is found in many semi-moist dog foods and causes red blood cells destruction.

Lead, an extremely toxic heavy metal is also commonly found in pet foods. A research conducted in Massachusetts Institute of Technology published as "Lead in Animal Foods," presented one shocking discovery – A typical 9-pound cat was found to be ingesting, through commercial pet food, far more lead daily than the toxic level for children in their lifetime. Imagine that on your dog. And here is the worst part – heavy metals reside in body systems permanently. Heavy metals have known to cause nervous damage to animals when accumulated in their body systems.

This is a very real fact of commercial dog foods though not all commercial dog companies pumps all these materials into their dog food products.

So if you truly want the best for your dog, the best way out is to personally prepare food meals for it. At least you know you won’t be pumping the food up with any unnecessary deadly preservatives.
