My husband and I have been looking for a waterproof dog bed forever.

This dog bed has exceeded our wildest expectations.

We even ordered it in camo and it looks great on our patio. We have a lab and have not been able to find a dog bed large enough for him to lounge in. If you have a large dog to cater to then this is ideal. I found the Fat Boy dog bed at http://www.thedogbowl.com/.

All I have to say is that the cuddle nest is the best dog bed ever.

Question to The Dog Bowl: My one year old Boxer has been prescribed Hills Science Diet K/D for alleged kidney disease. Do you have a food comparable that will not hurt her kidneys further?

Thank you

Nancy

Response from The Dog Bowl: Nancy,

Did you know 90% if dogs and cats die of liver and kidney failure?

I suggest you get a good vet that can guide you to understanding that dry food has NO moisture and NO live enzymes. This is a good page to start with our article: What is your dog eating?

We have lots of information and products (that are fresh food- imagine that could be good for anyone!).

This is our website: http://www.thedogbowl.com/
Left side of our website has LOTS of information and sub-tabs below, “shop online” has products.

Good luck in your quest!

Is your pet suffering from poor dental care?

Labels: Pet Dental Care

I’ve been on a quest to find something special for my dog to sleep on. So after a search online I was able to source a designer dog bed that looked contemporary. We live in a modern home and refused to put something mediocre in our home. We finally found a nice online resource for designer dog beds online.. See this designer dog bed for yourself from Wonderdog. at www.thedogbowl.com. It’s so comfortable our kids want an extra large to lounge on when watching movies. The other benefit is that it’s very easy to clean.

This designer dog bed is even better in person. You can search at www.thedogbowl.com for a number of designer dog beds.

Lately I’ve been trying to find something my Weimeraner can chill in while I have my friends over for the game. I looked all over at Petco and various pet stores for large dog beds in San Anotnio. I wasted a whole day on a quest for a large dog bed?

I was almost ready to give up and bam - I found the FatBoy large dog bed. It looked great and even looked nice in the den. So I ordered the large dog bed and it worked great. We took a chance and did the large in chocolate brown. I never thought my niece & nephew would be fighting to sleep on the large dog bed?

Tired of having your dog attempting to jump on the sofa. Give your big dog a Fat Boy and he/she will have a lounger of their own. I found the large dog bed at http://www.thedogbowl.com/.

Best of luck!!!

This is the coolest dog bed on the market. I just found a dog bed called “Fat Boy” in Camo.

I couldn’t have found a more comfortable dog bed that looks cool in my home. I like the new dog bed so much I am thinking of buying another. If your looking for that really great gift for the holidays then keep this dog bed in mind. I found this and a vast selection of other hip dog beds at http://www.thedogbowl.com/.

Here is where my lab now crashes and he loves it.

The Dog Bowl even has designer dog beds!

I just found the coolest source for hip designer dog collars. My Chihuahua is now sporting two amazing collars. One of the new designer dog collars in hot pink with skulls (so cute!). The other designer dog collar from Amour has the letters for Paris dangling in gold. I love having my dog look different from the rest of the pack. I was able to find a number of various designer dog collars from this on-line store http://www.thedogbowl.com/.

We just purchased a dog tag that is more than just a device for making noise! If you want a id pet tag that makes sense then look into this. There is an option that addresses more than the typical pet id tag. The tag I thought was best for my pet’s protection was at http://www.thedogbowl.com/ (click here to see the actual item).

This pet id tag not only protected the pet but my personal information. It’s seems that if someone could easily stumble upon my personal info by reading my dogs tag. By being a part of this network our phone number and address is not accessible by the general public. Our dog wanders often and it’s good to know that the pet id tag is linked to a database for identification. In case of emergency all of Kaiser’s info is registered to the tag, he also no longer wears multiple tags for vaccinations etc. Here is the link where I found this tag.

I’m a single mother with kids and I found this to be another way to protect our household in addition to our german shepard.

We heard that dogs and chicken bones is a winning combination. I heard through a relative that what was believed to be bad in the past is actually good. So it makes sense that dogs and chicken bones is a logical food. I personally eat chicken and think that the whole trend makes sense. As a nation of chicken consumers we should have a surplus of this by-product. So as a result were considering more raw foods for the dogs diet. I even found something I can travel with that is a fit with my dog and chicken bones. Please check this out as an alternative chicken treat - it is good for your dog's heart too!

A matter of fact we discovered that a doggy diet carried at the http://www.thedogbowl.com/. This satiated our dog and has chicken bones in the meals.

I noticed in the last few months I’ve grown concerned with dog worms. When you have pet you love with dog worms it’s alarming. When I made the transition to a new diet it seemed to support healthy digestion and eliminate parasites. I’ve been in deep thought as why to a raw dog diet would help act as medicine for dog worms?

I am hoping to connect with others that may know more about treating dog worms. It seems the diet has also changed behavioral patterns. My dog is no longer dragging it hind quarters on the carpet or lawn. He even seems more comfortable and energized. I think there is a strong correlation between raw pet food and detoxification of pets. If your troubled like I was with dog worms check this diet out. My vet was even impressed with the overall well-being of the dog. So perhaps a combination raw dog foods means less meds from the vet?

Recently I felt like the victim of information overload when it comes to healthy dog food.

As a long-time dog lover I was fortunate to be exposed to a healthy dog food with no frills (or preservatives). I’m convinced that after considerable research my boxer and I are on a healthy dog food program. The diet I’ve been recommending to family and friends is BARF.

The healthy dog food my boy loves is the BARF chicken nuggets. I also discovered in my quest for healthy dog food another addition to protein. Our boxer is now eating a balanced, FRESH diet with BARF veggie & fruit nuggets.

I feel relieved and finally after years have found something that is truly healthy dog food. This is where to get into BARF and offer your furry friend something with substance.

Best,

Currently I’ve just remedied my dog of the most offensive bad dog breath. If you’ve been the recipient of chronic bad dog breath then your in luck. It was easy to get started and all I use now is a spray versus brushing his teeth constantly. This home remedy also for bad dog breath sure beats paying the vet.

At the moment my puppy is cured of bad dog breath once and for all. I used to be so embarrassed to even let anyone pet my beloved. I highly recommend the Leba III dental spray.

It’s 100% natural and my dog loved it.

If you have a cat, it can also administered in the same fashion. I was turned onto this product at The Dog Bowl.

Dear Dog Bowl

Please know that I want to thank you for making a life changing diet for my beloved Schnauzer.

As a result of the raw diet (BARF) we have allowed food to be the medicine for our canine. She has overcome a number of issues including allergies, obesity, and restlessness.

There was a time when I couldn’t take anything off the shelf to support my dog. We even tried bi-monthly visits to the vet. The only solution for us as to take a chance on a raw diet. After reading and understanding the value of raw foods we started the program.

After two weeks we started noticing less itching and skin starting to heal. So we took a risk and allowed weeks to pass for another visit to the vet. We decided to cure our dog naturally from that point on. We made a conscious decision to say no to harsh drugs and steroid shots as quick fixes.

Another thing happened as we started the end of the two (2) week cycle. We noticed hair starting to grow back in places that were previously bald from scratching and itching. Before all you could see where skin and scabs from allergies. We knew from this point on this dog could finally be healed and comfortable long-term. Currently the dog has had the full coat restored and looks like a new puppy.

So we followed instruction and guidance from the Dog Bowl. We then found that our dog started losing weight. By the time we finished week four, she had gone from 24.5 lbs to 18 lbs. We were able to stop allergies and also lower her body fat substantially. We realized this was a life changing diet for our beloved Schnauzer.

Some of the other benefits in weeks to come were seeing the dog not restless. She was now able to sleep soundly, without a lot of nightmares. We even noticed that she started to become a much more balanced dog mentally. Before her behaviour seemed erractic and almost ADD like. Now we had a dog that seemed calm and confident as nature intended. Weeks into the diet we also noticed the dog was losing that “salty dog” smell.

We came to the conclusion that our dogs vitality was linked to raw foods. For months we were perplexed with issues on allergies and extreme skin conditions. It was very difficult to try so many different thing with no true result. Finally when we did take the dog to the vet he was surprised at our Schnauzers vitality. He commented on the drugs he prescribed, as if he told us so. He was shocked when we told him that the dog was chemical free and eating a raw diet.

Our family is so grateful for the impact and overall well being of our dog. We love the fact that she enjoys every meal. She savours all of the raw treats you supplied us with. This was the best decision we could have made for our dogs vitality.

Thank you very much for your insight and making an impact in our lives.
