Things we should know!

1 in 3 dogs is now diagnosed with cancer.

The first thing an oncologist typically suggests after discovering cancer is to remove all "processed foods" from the diet.

Since the introduction of commercial dog foods the average dog's life span has decreased by roughly 18%.

55% of dogs in America are overweight.

The average 50 pound dog eating traditional commercial dog food will ingest roughly 18 pounds of preservatives in the course of a year.
Who knows best, us or Mother Nature?
Why not just feed Commercial Dog Food?

Despite our best intentions to buy the highest quality food for our dogs the following ingredients are commonly found in traditional commercial foods. (Including "Super Premium and Prescriptive Diets")

  • 4D Animals (Dead, Diseased, Dying and Disabled) are allowed in dog food.
  • If it contains "meal" (beef meal, chicken meal, etc.) it is the product of the rendering plant.
  • "Pet Grade" ingredients are allowed in even the so-called best commercial dog foods. This includes sawdust and blood, tumerous meats and expired meats.
  • Moldy grains are allowed in dog food.
  • There is an allowance for how much Styrofoam packaging and plastic wrap that is included in commercial dog foods from the "expired meats" from grocery stores.
  • The euthanizing drug Pentobarbital has been found by the FDA in dog foods as a result of including euthanized animals in the food.
  • Dog food labeling laws allows you to name your food “Joe's Organic Food" even if it contains no organic ingredients.
  • No Preservatives added simply means the dog food manufacturer did not include additional preservatives but if the "raw materials" already included preservatives or other non desirable ingredients they have no requirement to disclose that.
If you wouldn't eat it, please don't feed it to your dog!
We are still discovering the many benefits of whole natural foods. A synthetic vitamin will never take the place of a piece of real fruit or a vegetable. Protein in the form of "beef meal", "chicken meal", "fish meal" or any other form of "meal" that has been rendered, denatured and cooked at high temperatures will never be the same as hormone free, fresh meats that have just been cooked gently!

If you were told to bypass the fresh fruit, vegetable and meat section in the grocery store and to go directly to the processed food aisle - "to pick up a bag of people food" - would you think that made sense? You would get to eat only one type of processed, dry food labeled "complete and balanced" for the rest of your life. Would you expect to be healthy? Why do we do this to our beloved dogs?

This is a symptom of "marketing trumping common sense"!

Lucky Dog Cuisine is real food for dogs. We take the mystery out of feeding your best friend. There are no ingredients in our food that you cannot pronounce or have to look up in a chemistry text. No fancy degree is needed to read our labels. We use real food and nothing else. Food so good that you could eat it too. We feel that if you cannot pronounce something, you probably should not be eating it.

All of our meals are made in real kitchens, not processing plants. We actually use pots and pans and bowls just like you do to cook your own dinner. Our bowls are just a lot bigger.

A variety of whole foods makes sense for optimum health and vitality!

“Animal feeds provide a practical outlet for plant and animal byproducts not suitable for human consumption.”

The Healing Power of Puppies (Part 2)

by Dr. Janice Elenbaas on 05/09/12

 

 The only thing that made me smile after Bugsy passed away, was pictures of puppies! It took my mind off my grief and worry about Murphy. My husband and I poured over websites of anything doodle! There were Shepadoodles, Sheepadoodles, Aussiedoodles and naturally, my favorite, Goldendoodles.  Although the Sheepadoodles were unbelievably adorable, they had no tails!  I can’t imagine coming home and not having a tail wagging party!

 

The Ultimate Tail-Waggin Party?

We found our little Molly in Blacksburg, Virginia. The breeder, Dr. Kelly (a local veterinarian) had a litter of Standard Goldendoodles.  The kennels were in such a tranquil, clean, lush environment.  There was lots of yard area for the dogs and the puppies to run and play. Our group was in a kennel, all anxiously waiting to see new faces.  But the strangest feeling came over me…. For some reason, none of these adorable little faces called out to me.  I am the dog lover of all dog lovers and yet I was numb inside. Maybe this was all too soon.  Then I looked over at another kennel.  There was Molly and her sister with their paws up on the door and tails furiously wagging.  I picked them both up and was immediately covered with puppy kisses. My heart melted and I knew that one of these girls was coming home with us. How to decide?

 

How could I resist this face?

After watching them run and play and visiting with their parents, we had our little girl. Her dad was smaller than our usual Standard Poodle.  He was only 30 lbs. but her mom was a 55lb white English Golden – a real beauty.

We introduced her to Murphy, hoping and praying that they actually liked each other.

 

"Molly meet Murphy - Murphy, Molly."

Within hours of being home, Murphy was running and playing with his new little sister. Over the next few days, there was some adjusting to do, but Murphy gradually became himself again. He enjoyed his food, wanted to go for walks and play…all the things that stopped after he lost his brother. Molly is 6 months old now and they have been together for 4 months.

 

I think he likes her!

 

Murphy is still not the same dog.  But I am not the same person either. A light has been dimmed for both of us.  I know that we will get back to full speed one day.  For now, we snuggle a lot, play with Molly and go for lots of long, healing walks. 

Life will never be the same without our Bugsy but we all cope the best we can.  Molly has made us laugh, and brought my Murphy back to life.

 

  "I'm telling you Molly if we sit down they will feed us here!"

 If you are having difficulty coping with the loss of a beloved canine friend, there are support groups out there. I recommend contacting the wonderful people at For Paws Hospice.  

 Molly has been a wonderful help to me in overcoming the loss of my beloved Bugsy but in addition she has certainly been a huge help to Murphy as well. Never underestimate the healing power of puppies!

Testimonial of the Month

"I just wanted to let you know that my shipment of lucky dog cuisine arrived safely yesterday.  This morning, I added a little bit of it into Allie's and Riley's breakfast and they gobbled it up.  I was going to heat it as suggested, but I put it in the bowls and turned around to pick them up for heating...and it was gone!  The girls definitely approve."

NO ARSENIC IN LUCKY DOG CUISINE RICE RECIPES

Recently the news has been full of stories about Arsenic in rice, not just in dog food but in the food we eat as well.
Here at Lucky Dog we engaged an independent third party lab to test our rice recipes to make sure they were not only fit for our best friends but fit for human consumption as well.

The results are in and there is no trace of arsenic in any of our rice recipes. Great news for Murphy, Molly and your dogs too.
