My mom makes these for my dogs and they go absolutely bonkers. The best part ... they don't upset Faith's IBD, so we know they are good for dogs with sensitive stomachs and GI issues.
If you make these treats, post your photos to our FB page with the hashtag #poochetatreats #dogsdigitwi

]]>I found this recipe after Layla was diagnosed with cancer. She loved these cookies and would lay in the kitchen waiting for them to be cool enough to eat. She was spoiled (of course) and always had two cookies at a time in a bowl with a splash or two of Answers Goats Milk to drink. It was the perfect cookies and milk moment.
I hope your dogs love these cookies as much as Layla did and that you can share many perfect cookies and milk moments with them.

]]>I started a blog while she was sick to track everything I was learning during our cancer journey. It was a way to "cope" with everything that was going on and to share what we were learning at the same time. I hope you enjoy our journey ... you can read the series "A Year Ago Today" - a journey of the most memorable and heartbreaking days of my life. You will also find a bunch of awesome DIY solutions for safe, non-toxic cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, etc. You may come across a few recipes too! I hope you enjoy it!

]]>The tennis balls made for sport, are free of the toxins that were found in tennis balls made SPECIFICALLY for dogs! Are you mad yet?
When my beloved dog was diagnosed with cancer in 2015, I spent endless amounts of time researching what causes cancer in dogs. In the middle of my research, I came across a study done by the Ecology Center, a non-profit organization in MI. They tested around 400 dogs toys and the results are alarming ... 45% of those toys had detectable levels of one or more hazardous toxins; including arsenic, bromine, chromium and lead. WHAT?!
I pulled one tennis ball toy from the study and it is linked here for you to review.
Chromium, arsenic, bromine and lead DO NOT belong in dog toys!
Dogs Dig It will ALWAYS do the research to find the safest dog toys for your furry friends. We would never sell anything we wouldn't give or use on our own dogs.
Be an educated pet parent ... cancer is taking 1 out of 2 dogs over the age of 10 AND 1 out of 3 in dogs younger than 10. These numbers are scary friends ...
