Healthy Dog Club

For many pet owners, their animals are more than companions — they are true members of the family. It’s therefore no surprise so many people are interested in trying to understand how to translate dog years to people years, improve pet health, and increase the dog lifespan.

I typically do not share stories like this, but I was moved by her words and thought that I would share her story with you all. It is quite powerful and I believe that you will agree that the BARF Diet can extend your pet’s life. “Thank you! My Bichon Angel had been on a dog food prescribed by the vet for bladder stone problems. She had almost died when…
