@dontajohnson 😂 we have an RO system for the humans in our house, so it was automatic for me to use it for the dogs, but the food I had no idea til super recently.

@thrivenotjustsurvive The puppy did well with Hill’s small breed stuff, but I’m going to swap her to Pro Plan -because that’s what the 2 year old is doing well with- so they could eat the same food for simplicity’s sake once she’s ready for adult food. We do kibble in the morning & canned for...

@raelynn58 Ugh we did raw for almost his whole first year with one of our dogs. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I feel bad about that, but we thought we were doing the “best” thing. We switched from that to Honest Kitchen dehydrated “doggie oatmeal” to save some money for the next almost year...
