Pet owners often love or hate the idea of feeding their baby raw meat. There's not a lot of research that shows it’s better than food you buy at the store.

What if My Dog Eats Poop?

It's gross to us, but dogs see this as just another source of food. Although it's a normal behavior, sometimes it can be a sign that your dog is stressed or his diet is missing something.

Can I Change My Dog's Food?

It seems boring to us, but dogs get used to eating the same food every day -- and so do their stomachs. Switching foods too fast can cause a problem. To change your dog's diet, blend the new food with the old over about 4 days, gradually giving him more of the new. But don't switch too often. It can turn your dog into a picky eater or cause weight problems.
