Rocky in his Johanna's Pfotenpassage Paw King Dog Bed:
 

Review: I am very satisfied with the Johanna's Pfotenpassage Paw King Dog Bed. It is of absolutely great quality. For a long time, I was looking for a good, easy to clean and high quality Dog Bed for Rocky and have now found it at Johanna's Pfotenpassage. The service of Johanna's Pfotenpassage is great. Every Dog Bed is manufactured according to individual customer's wishes. As a dog owner one can individually choose the colour, the material, the size, the form, the filling material and the decoration. Thus, my wish in regards of the size was respected. Furthermore, the workmanship is very good and due to the great handicraft we will enjoy the Paw King Dog Bed for a long time.

Rocky himself really likes the Bed and immediately jumped inside. The inner pillow is super soft, adapts well to the body shape and distributes the body weight well. As Rocky is suffering from knee problems a good inner pillow is especially important. Rocky likes sleeping in the Bed and loves to cuddle up inside.

Overall, I can very much recommend the Dog Beds by Johanna's Pfotenpassage, especially if one is looking for a made-to-measure and individual Dog Bed.

DOG FIT immun

- For the strengthening of dog's the immun system and vitality

"Why PreThis Platinum DOG FIT immun: The high quality supplement for dogs DOG FIT immune with its purely natural colostrum of certified organic farms from Germany, Austria and Switzerland allows for a constant strengthening and support of the dog's immune system when regularly administered. As a dog is constantly surrounded by numerous pathogens which applies for young dogs, but especially for old dogs, dog owners should always provide for an optimal function of the natural body's defences of their four legged friends. If the dog's immune system is showing a serious weakening the dog's risk of getting infected with a dangerous infectuous disease is of course increased! But colustrum with its many vitamins, minerals, proteins and antioxidants is also  very recommendable for the overall well being and the viality of the dog.
Colustrum is not for nothing known as a natural source for health.

Strengthening the immune system of the dog: The infection with an infectuous pathogen can happen via various ways. For example, it is oftentimes enough if the dog has a short contact with another dog who is infected. Also, dog food can occasionally form numerous pathogens, especially if the dog food is left in the dog bowl over a specific period of time and such a contaminated dog food can quickly result in diarrhoea which dan be dangerous for the dog's health due to a serious loss of nutrients and fluids.

What is colostrum and what is used to obtain it for DOG FIT immun? The supplement for dogs DOG FIT Immun provides, as a special nutrition for an acute case of illness, as well as prophylactically as an optimal stability of the body's defence and will do this without straining the organism of the animal with side effects. This fact results from the colostrum which is contained in the DOG FIT immun which has a high number of antibodies for an effective strengthening of the immune defence. The colostrum is oftentimes also denoted to as first milk as this pure natural substance represents the first nutrition for a freshly born puppy. The colostrum is automatically formed in the mammary glands of the bitch after the birth of the puppies and is enrichted with a high concentration of nutrients and the already mentioned antibodies. The antibodies in the colostrum serve the puppies withhin the first days of their life as a highly effective immune protection without which the young dogs would barely have a chance of survival as the immun system of sucklings is always only developing its important task in regards to combat disease pathogens after some time."

I can thus recommend the PreThis DogFit Joint small for everyone (as well as the medium and large for bigger dog breeds).

 Rocky in his padsforall DOGSTYLE Collection Suedelok Dog Bed in size XS (50 x 30):

Otherwise it is a great dog bed.

Perrito Duck Chunkies

Perrito Duck Chunkies

Ingredients: Duck.

Analytical constituents: Crude protein 32%, crude fat 9%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 7.5%, moisture 18%.

 

Review: The Perrito Duck Chunkies Package was included in the  PetsNature product test (more information here). I think the packaging (like all the Perrito packages) looks very appealing and I think it's great that each variety can be differentiated by its packaging colour. As one can see, there is a cat silhouette on the packaging which does however not mean that the Perrito Duck Chunkies are solely suitable for cats. They are just as suitable for small dogs. But they would definitely be too small for medium to large sized dogs. The Perrito Duck Chunkies smelled very pleasant and meaty when I opened the package.
Rocky loves the Perrito Duck Chunkies and I think they are especially great for training as the dog does not have to chew them for long. I can definitely recommend the Perriot Duck Chunkies to every small dog owner.

Canagan

Canagan - The food of their ancestors

We have received a bag of dryfood by Canagan.

  

  

  

About Canagan

www.canagan.co.uk

   
"Canagan produces biologically appropriate, grain-free dog and cat food with nature's best ingredients.

The food of their ancestors

 

Throughout the ages, man and dog have evolved side by side, living and hunting together, protecting each other in a unique alliance. Canagan - from the ancient Celtic word for wolf - was created to honour this bond.

All dogs are the direct descendents of grey wolves domesticated by our ancient forefathers, and their dietary needs have remained virtually unchanged to this day.

 

What is biologically appropriate?
  
Traditionally dog and cat foods have sacrificed nutritional value by using cheaper, less nutritionally accessible ingredients. The Canagan nutritionists have looked carefully at the dietary needs of cats and dogs to produce a food which more closely mimics your pet's ancestral diet with the correct ratio of meat protein and fat to carbohydrate and a much higher meat content than most.

 

Nature's best ingredients
  
What really sets Canagan apart is the quality of the meat and fish that they source for their food. As dogs are carnivores they can more readily get nutrition from meat sources, so they have chosen meat that is wholesome, delicious with plenty of nutritional benefits.

 

Why go grain free?

  

Grains such as corn, wheat and barley have been linked with canine allergies, with symptoms ranging from upset stomach to itchy flaky coat. Even if your pet has no allergies, these grains have virtually no nutritional value, yet they are present in the majority of pet foods.

Every single ingredient in Canagan has been carefully selected to provide your dog and cat with the optimum in nutrition.

Dogs and cats, like all carnivores, are biologically incapable of fully digesting grains such as corn, wheat and barley. This is because they don't have the enzyme called amylase in their saliva, which helps to break down these starchy carbohydrates.

Canagan have eliminated all the grain from their recipe to create a food that is entirely nutritionally accessible."

(Source: www.canagan.co.uk/index.html)

Canagan offers two varieties of dog food for small breeds; Free-Run Chicken and Country Game. We were able to try the Free Run Chicken variety for small breeds by Canagan.

Canagan Free-Run Chicken is a special grain free dog food formulated by the Canagan experts to deliver nutrition, close to their ancestral diet, with the correct ratio of protein to carbohydrate and a host of vegetables and botanicals. This carefully balanced, nutrient dense formula will excite your dog's taste buds and give them the  abundance of highly digestible protein  demanded by their evolutionary needs. 

Composition: Freshly Prepared Deboned Chicken (26%), Dried Chicken (25%), Sweet Potato, Peas, Potato, Pea Protein, Alfalfa, Chicken Fat (3.1%), Dried Egg (3.1%), Chicken Gravy (1.6%), Salmon Oil (1.2%), Minerals, Vitamins, Glucosamine (1000 mg/kg), MSM (1000 mg/kg), Apple, Carrot, Spinach, Psyllium, Seaweed, Fructooligosaccharides, Chondroitin (700 mg/kg), Camomile, Peppermint, Marigold, Cranberry, Aniseed & Fenugreek.

(Source: www.canagan.co.uk/small-breed-chicken.html)

 

Review: I am very satisfied with the Canagan Small Breed Free-Run Chicken. Canagan offers great dog food with great ingredients. I really like that this dryfood contains a lot of meat and that it is grain-free. It also does not contain any unnecessary fillers but only contains good ingredients. I especially like that Canagan have included Glucosamine, MSN and Chondroitin in their dog food as these ingredrients are great joint supplements.

Rocky straight away loved the Canagan Small Breed Free-Run Chicken. He can be quite fussy about food but immediately ate the Canagan dryfood. I think it is great to have a dryfood that Rocky likes and which has great ingredients.
