As a professional dog walker in Seattle, I often am asked the question “what dog food should I feed”
Well the answer is easy. Natures Variety, Wellness, Natural Balance, Canidae, Solid Gold or other all natural filler free foods.

The  pet food industry is a million dollar industry and there are some companies out there that dont care about your pet. As a pet care professional that works closely with your pets, I do care.

So I am going to give you tips on feeding your dogs!

Don’t buy something cuz the commercial said to, do it because you are a smart consumer and know what is good for your dog.

There are dog food companies that are small and focus on dog food.  You don’t hear about them on TV because they take that money and put it into the food, not their advertising budget.
They care about QUALITY. They rely on word of mouth to help spread the news. These companies are Natures variety, Wellness, Natural Balance, Canidae, Solid Gold, etc.

Do not buy dog food that you can buy in a normal grocery store.
Do not buy food you can buy at Target or Walmart.

Look at the ingredients, pick food with NO cheap filler like corn, wheat and soy
No byproducts. No cancerous preservatives like BHT/BHA and ethoxyquin
I feed Natures variety. I feed the kibble, canned and raw! Its amazing food.
Its built for rotation so I can feed salmon kibble, then when that runs out..beef.

Read the labels, do not fall for gimmicks.  Your dogs health depends on it! And your dog has to eat what you feed, so your dogs really depend on you!

Keep an eye on your dogs treats too!

In Seattle there are a ton of pet supply stores that sell great food.

I really likeand recommend:

Are you looking for a dog walker in Seattle? If you said yes then you have come to the right place. Dog walking is a crucial pet service to ensure the health and happiness of your dog.
I have been walking dogs professionally for over 10 years. I have walked the sweet simple dogs
that are on retractable leashes and walk fine. I have also walked a 220 lb bear head rottie that wants to eat cars as they
pass. I can walk one dog at a time, or 5.

Through the years of dog walking I have come up with a tried and true dog walking method.
I can walk(and teach you how to walk) your dogs with ease. For dogs that need to walk for mental and physical exercise, I walk them
in a brisk heel. I hike them on 3 hr excursions through our beautiful Seattle parks. They will learn how to walk nice and b tired and well behaved for you when you get home!

Dog walkers are great for busy dog owners that are stuck at work all day. Mid day hikes are a perfect break during the day.
For instuctions on how to walk your dog in a perfect heels, stayed tuned for my blog about P.A.W.S.

And look for my upcoming blog about the importance of daily dog walks.
