why can't a dog eat pork?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I Just found out that dogs are not supposed to eat pork i.e. ham, bacon, etc??? I feel bad that I gave this to my dog, not regularly, but little bits mixed in with her dry food when we've had ham for dinner. What's the story? I know you good people at i-dog will have the answers!!! Thanks

The rest of the time he has to stay off. Last night, he snuggled for 4 hours (yeah, we were REALLY lazy last night)...

Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Does anyone have a good training treat recipe? I'm looking for treats that don't crumble too bad, are soft so that the dog can chew and swallow quickly, don't take hours to bake, and don't cost too much to make.
