I feed my two family dogs raw dog food. Not dry. Not cooked. Raw. Yes, you heard me right. RAW. As in, uncooked meat and organs. And, yes, it is more expensive than kibble, but it’s worth it. I will explain my thinking and then provide links if you want to dive deeper into the why.

Having a dog is not all sunshine and roses. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard not to melt when I see my dog's face and I usually forget all wrongs done with one look into his eyes, but there are messy parts of pet ownership I could do without. You know, like the barking, shedding and daily poop pick-up.
Here's an example. The other day my daughter noticed a foul smell out on our front porch. It's a favorite spot for my lab, and sometimes my beagle. They love to sit on the window seat to look out into the front yard or wait for someone to come home.This particular day, the window seat and surrounding area showed signs of vomit. We didn’t know which dog was the suspect. That is, until later in the same day. Turns out my beagle's tummy didn’t like the temporary change in food. It came up almost as soon as it went down.
Good news is, he recovered. I threw the food away and made another plan. I was also glad I had a solution to help him. Digize essential oil blend is a go-to of mine whenever I have digestive problems. Turns out it works on beagles too. I rubbed a little on his belly and life was as good as new for him.
Now that Scout is feeling better, it's time to take care ofthe smell left behind. Sprinkling a mixture of baking soda and citrus fresh essential oil on the carpet will get the job done!
