February 24th, 2014 at 8:56 am EST
Hello Friend,

I hope you and your family of people and pets had an enjoyable weekend..

Today's newsletter is about a new Dog Treat recall- which further reinforces the need in my mind to stick to things natural, healthy, and NOT in a bag..

My dogs LOVE my homemade Supplement Treats.

I have some wonderful treat recipes in my Inner Circle.

P.S. There have been no reported cases from this, so likely all with be OK.

My thoughts are to really limit the 'unknown' treats I feed my pets, and stick with things I make, or I can recognize ( ie beef, chicken)

This also relates to food that you are feeding.

In my Inner Circle, I have a detailed section on pet food, pet treats, home recipes, including my advised pet food list.
