Play quality

I believe our dogs need structure, love, exercise and play time. When it comes to play time, I like my dog to have times to play like a dog, but other times I want him to think. As a result, he haves various toys: balls, squeakers, laser light, and puzzles. Curley loves to fetch his squeaking balls which I buy in quantities. He also likes to destroy stuffed toys to get to the squeaker, hence I keep buying him cheap squeakers which he enjoys ripping. Thank to a friend, we discovered the fun of laser light. I point it on the floor and he hunts it (run after it). We both have fun. Last, I got him a few puzzles that require his sense of smell. I highly recommend Nina Ottosson dog puzzles. These are great ways to keep my dog stimulated. Plus, as he gets to the treats, he gets rewarded for his hard work (solve the puzzle).


Dogs may have fun fetching or chewing on a toy however they also enjoy being stimulated.

Dog food

I strongly believe what we eat affects us, so does what our dogs eat. As a result, I try to give my dog a diet that is higher quality. I, myself avoid high fructose corn syrup and artificial food including flavor and coloring or even chemicals. My dog food may be a little bit more expensive than some other generic dog food but it does not contain by-products. The way I look at it, I may be spending a little more but my dog may not need to go to the vet as much, plus I believe if you eat healthy, you're likely to live longer and healthier. I personally know I want my dog to live as long as possible: I love him.


I feed my dog FROMM dry dog food (pork and applesauce, duck and sweet potato, salmon a la veg) and sometimes give him as wet dog food Evanger's organic Turkey with potato and carrots dinner (which is hormone and antibiotic free, grain free and certified organic). My dog absolutely loves both.
