Actions Speak Louder & Ingredients Shout

Of course, there are good and bad things about getting older (not that I would have believed that when I was young). As we age, we begin to feel the effects our lives have had on our bodies. I developed grain sensitivities, which gave me a small taste of what our first dog Sorrel must …

We Began to Wonder About Calling the Vet…

Roscoe began itching maybe a month or so after we moved off the breeder’s recommended puppy food and onto new adult food (this was before we were creating our own Bounce and Bella grain-free food).
