Help With Training Treats
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I'm using Nature's recipe training treats for training Tasha but they contain a lot of sugar. Looking at other treats I see that all of them are loaded with sugar. Are there any healthier treats out there? They need to be soft and small.

Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
I purchased a steak today that is partially spoiled. On one side of it, the meat is a brown/grey color, and it has a mildly off odor. I called the store and complained about it (I bought it *today*, and it was folded up so you couldn't see the brown parts -- totally unacceptible), but I lost...
