Importance of the Food Group

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

I need to blog a little....

I've said it before...I will say it again - the Food Group is such an informative group on DK - may be the best in my opinion. If we had it before 2007, wouldn't it have saved quite a few of us from a lot of grief?

My Taquito (aka Tacky) lived through those terrible food recalls, but now has kidney problems at age 6 (due to chicken jerky recalls - sick for 2 months - almost died). Too young for that. I did feed high quality food immediately after the scare, but am still learning so much from the Food Group here on DK. I hope that others will be proactive in feeding their dogs good food (whether that be commercial foods or homecooking or raw). It kills me sometimes to think that I brought on T's pain. One of my biggest goals is to have him live as long as possible AND for Peri to not encounter any of these problems related to food. Sorry, but I tend to get emotional about this topic because Taquito goes in for a kidney test March 10 and I am very very nervous!

I hope if you are not a part of the Food Group, you will consider joining! You will be doing a wonderful thing for your precious doodle!

Here's my Tacky (here's to him leading a looong chihuahua life) and Lady Peri (mini f1 goldendoodle)!

Love the picture!! Peri and Tacky look so cute together in their matching Snuggies. Love it. Hope all is well and I will be thinking about you on March 10th. Good luck. I can't believe how much Allie looks like Peri now. You know Peri was my standard of what I wanted in a doodle!
