“What’s In Your Bowl Wednesday!?” 🍽️🐾
Tonight’s bowl for Banner is packed with fresh, biologically appropriate nutrition designed to support health from the inside out. 💪
🥩 80/10/10 duck & turkey base.

🦴 Rabbit foot & duck foot for natural chewing and enrichment

🐟 Sardine for omega-3s and skin/coat support.

🥚 Quail egg for added nutrients and healthy fats.

🎃 Pumpkin for digestion.

🥬 Beets, tomatoes & red pepper for antioxidants and whole food nutrition.

🌊 Sea kelp & phytoplankton for minerals and overall wellness.

🐝 Bee pollen & Blue Boy Organics Blue Power Immunity for an added nutritional boost.
Real food matters.

Nutrition plays a huge role in our dogs’ overall health — from skin & coat quality, digestion, immune support, muscle development, energy levels, and even behavior. What we put into our dogs’ bowls daily either supports health… or works against it.

I believe our dogs deserve more than heavily processed food alone. Fresh, whole foods can provide natural nutrients the body recognizes and utilizes beautifully. Every dog is different, and every bowl can be tailored to support the individual dog in front of you. 🐕

Food is enrichment.
Food is fuel.
Food is one of the greatest forms of love and care we can provide our animals. ❤️

Challenge the mind.🐾

Build the relationship. 💙

Three years ago, we were in Windsor for a baseball tournament when something happened that I will never forget. Banner was only a year old at the time, still young, curious, and taking in the world around him. All of a sudden, I noticed he was completely fixated on something. Calm. Focused. Interested. I followed his gaze and out of nowhere, a cat casually walked right up to us.

What made the moment so incredible was the complete trust and calmness between them. This cat had absolutely zero fear, and Banner handled himself so beautifully. No lunging, no overexcitement, no chaos. Just curiosity, respect, and self-control. Watching a young dog choose calmness in such a surprising situation was one of those moments that makes you stop and appreciate all the work and relationship-building that goes into raising a balanced dog.

People often think obedience is just about commands, but moments like this are the real reward. A dog who can regulate themselves, stay neutral, and make good choices in the real world speaks volumes. Banner showed me that day that true training is not just about listening — it is about mindset, trust, and emotional stability. And honestly, the fact that this fearless cat seemed completely comfortable walking right up to him made the interaction even more special. It felt like pure mutual respect between two animals.

Ticks? Not on our watch 🐾

I take a layered, natural approach to keeping my dog protected—starting from the inside out. When I use fresh garlic, I don’t just toss it in the bowl. I crush it and let it sit for 10 minutes… and here’s why 👇
