Recipe: Apple Paws Dog Treats
Apple Paws Dog Treats These are currently one of my favourite dog treat recipes I’ve made yet, primarily because the paw-shape came out looking kind of cute. Are they my dog’s favourite? Not really. But he is a little picky. We ended up sharing them with some pooch pals. What you’ll need: 2 cups whole […]
Dog-friendly Rochester: Dog-Friendly Michigan Cider Mills Here We Come
The best thing about Michigan’s Cider Mills is most are dog-friendly. Ok, and the apple cider. That’s usually good to. September and October as the leaves change, one hundred, yes one hundred, Cider Mills in the state open their barn doors to the public to sample cider, buy it by the quart and more.
Oh Canada … PIJAC National Pet Industry Trade Show. Woof.
No question – the pet industry rocks. And it’s time to roll with the red and white but no blue … almost. Like SuperZoo in Vegas, the annual National Pet Industry Trade Show in Toronto is only open to those in the pet biz (and a few media members like dogtrotting.net). Unlike SuperZoo, it’s focused […]
Take Your Dog to Toronto: Down Dog Zen at Veg Food Fest 2018 (or Loving Dog Yoga)
Down dog is how my terrier Victor spent most of his Zen Dogs Wellness yoga practice … and I was thrilled. Meditative stillness came easy to him – but that might be the point. Zen Dogs Wellness is a unique Doga, according to yogi Alexandria Santaguida. It’s a ‘dog and me healing and yoga class’ […]
Wiggle Waggle Walk 2018 Results Are In!
Whew. Home hours ago from our fifth Wiggle Waggle Walk September 9, 2018 and my dog Victor is sleeping at my feet already. (Check out last year here). Thanks to all who donated to our dogtrotting.net team. Our final tally was $320 … $425 if you include the likely successful silent auction bids I left […]
Travel, Niagara: Grape Labour Day Weekend Winery Escape (with the dog)
Sitting at a picnic table, wine in hand, three gourmet tacos waiting to be eaten – it’s a relaxing Labour Day weekend outing with my dog Victor punctuated by the sound of gun fire. Ok, not real gun fire but it seems like it – loud, random and constant booms echo across the wavy expanse […]
6 Unique Dog Treat Ingredients: Will Dogs Eat Them? Find out (Contest too).
Will my dog eat an Alligator? Ok, clearly my little black terrier-cross isn’t going ‘gater hunting anytime soon – though he is brave enough. But there’s some exotic stuff going on in the dog treat scene, or so I discovered searching out new trends at SuperZoo last spring. Each company gave dogtrotting.net a complementary bag, […]
Travel Peterborough, ON: Mutt Day Among African Sculpture at ZimArt Rice Lake
How did I spend National Mutt Day, July 31, 2018? Strolling through ZimArt Rice Lake Gallery outdoor sculpture park near Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. And I wasn’t even with my dog, Victor, a cocker-spaniel, Parson’s terrier, poodle, schnauzer mix. Now that’s a mutt. But I could have been. Had I had Victor with me on my […]
Take Your Dog to London, ON: We survived Pawlooza 2018 … and you can too!
We survived Pawlooza 2018, with only minor incidents. I debated not taking my dog Victor along with me because this pet festival is crowded and dogs rushing Victor’s face are not greeted kindly, by him or me. But … ultimately, I’m glad I brought him for two reasons: He loved the little dog lease-free zone […]
Recipe: Cheesy Potluck Doggie Cookies
My dog Victor loves cheese. Most dogs do. It’s one of his favourite ‘people’ foods especially in a house of no meat (expect pet food). However, fat is an issue, and not because he’s over-weight. Victor’s getting older and has already had a pancreatitis scare – too much fat can set it off. So, that’s […]
