Do I think it as a lot to do with the plastic bowl our Snoopy Dawg is drinking out of....hmmm not really. Myself I prefer to use stainless every thing. But then I am using bowls over and over for a multitude of dogs and I feel I can get them much cleaner and germ free by using a little bleach in the dish water. Another reason I don't like plastic is it take on flavors of the soap you wash it in. The choice is yours when it comes down to it, but if you can....yeah I would get a stainless bowl for his food and water. Ceramic is good but the break.

Ceramic and metal bowls are more safe. Have you heard this? Candace Hey Meg,

I have a question somewhat related to your blog topic – someone told me a few months ago that it’s not safe for Snoopy to be drinking from a plastic bowl. Ceramic and metal bowls are more safe. Have you heard this?

Dogs should eat just as healthy as we do (or should) If you can't feed your dog the best diet out there,but you buy the best you can afford then you should be fine. BUT....before you get a dog one really needs to take the cost into consideration. It isn't cheap to keep a life long friend happy and healthy. I have already started my next blog. I am kind of doing a continuation on food. It will be about human food that you shouldn't be feeding your dog. You will really be surprised by some of it. I was!! Your topic on toys is a good one and I will take your advice and do it. On the topic of food aggression, that is a topic for a qualified trainer. Which I am not. Any training we do here is basic and a lot of fun. Aggression of any kind is dangerous and need to be handled properly. T.V. shows like The Dog Whisperer and It's My Dog are great for tips but listen to what they say...."Don't try this at home" you can make matters worse and/or get yourself hurt.

I think it's important for pet owners to make sure their pet's diet is as healthy as can be. Pets are not only best friends, but they are also an investment, and GOOD food has to be in that budget! It may cost a little bit but in the long run, it's definitely a better investment, and your buddy will be so much happier. When I used to take care of my mom's friends dogs, one of them was newly adopted and had to be on a special diet. I can't remember what kind of dog food she used, but it was mixed with two spoonfuls of pumpkin puree and yogurt, and she LOVED it! What are you planning on writing about next? I think it would be cool to learn more about safe pet toys and while on the topic of food, food aggression and how to deal with it! I love this blog!
