Here is one site that tells how dog hair can help with the clean-up. Ask your groomer if they are involved. http://www.matteroftrust.org/

Here is a site to give you a perspective on the size of the leak. http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/

This is Lucky, a 7 week old black male. We named him Lucky, because that is exactly what he is. His story starts out very sad. Lucky was found last week in a garbage bag with two siblings on the side of a road. Sadly, his siblings did not make it. We are happy at least one of the pups made it. Now he is here at Happy Dog. We are fostering him for Midwest Lab Rescue.

We are deeply saddened upon the news of the sale. Natura has been one of the companies on the forefront of good, solid nutrition with high quality, totally USA sourced ingredients. Their facilities and quality control was top notch and never did we at Happy Dog have any misgivings about the food.

We believe that when a corporate giant steps in, measures are taken to improve their bottom line and therefore quality will fail. This includes the not only the quality of the ingredients, but also the unanswered question of will the sources remain completely within the US and will the quality of raw ingredients falter? We feel both instances will prove to be true. There will also be increased pressures in the production lines so the food can be pushed into every Petco, Petsmart, Walmart and even your local grocery stores within the next year or two. With increased pressure, there can be cracks throughout the entire system.

P&G states that they won’t change formulas yet, but according to AAFCO standards, anytime a formula is changed, the manufacturer has six months in which to revise the label on the bag. What this means is that the contents of the food may have changed but those changes will not be reflected on the packaging. We prefer to be proactive to prevent any possible ill effects to any companion animal.

Once the sale is complete, Happy Dog will no longer be carrying the Natura line. We value your business and hope you will accept our concerns about what may happen to the food and the overall health of your dog or cat. We are actively working on a food substitute list for each line. Be assured there will be a comparable food for your dog. We also see it as a great opportunity for you to start rotating your dog food on a regular basis, which we would be happy to discuss with you.

Please stay tuned for the substitute list to be published soon.

When Moose arrived at Happy Dog Barkery, I immediately broke into tears. I personally have never seen a dog in this shape. He is skin and bones, literally and covered in dry skin, cuts, scabs, cut pads, chewed up tail, etc. What really struck me was how happy he seemed to be, tail was wagging and he was giving kisses right away. When we got home Moose went right into the tub for a quick bath and then he curled up to sleep. Looking at him laying down reminded me of the horrible shows I can’t even watch on Animal Planet. Moose didn’t want to go outside and I had to carry him each time.

Day 2 Sunday - Moose still doesn’t want to go outside, but we can coax him slowly with a treat. He walks on his tip toes because his pads hurt. Sleeps most of the day. Decided chasing cats was fun.

Day 3 Monday - Vet appointment first thing. On the surface, everything looks fine, just a lot of healing needed. Weighs 36.7 pounds, should probably be twice that. Blood was drawn for internal testing. Good news was that the fecal was clear. Went to work at the store. People can already notice an improvement. Moose likes to bark at other dogs. His personality is starting to show a little bit. What is coming out is a young dog with virtually no training. It still hurts when he walks, need to go very slow and wouldn’t go more than 10 feet from the back door. Really likes to chase cats and now the cats are being kept in a separate room for their own protection.

Day 4 Tuesday - A little bit stronger this morning, was a great night of sleeping, don’t think he got up at all. Went outside in the yard all the way to the back with me. Still treading lightly on the feet although they are healing a little bit, the sores are definitely smaller. Vet called and the news is good, no heartworm, organs are fine, yeah! Actually walked to the grass outside the store (Lulu was with us today and i think he was just following her). Lots of barking, need to work on that. Moose eats very well and we just have to make sure he gets outside for potty breaks often. Currently sound asleep gathering more strength.

Remember for any purebred, please look at rescue over buying from a puppy store. Every breed has a rescue group and you can even get the “designer mutts” at shelters all over the country. If you must buy your dog, please go to a responsible breeder.

Of course, i am partial to Labs. I was introduced to the breed when my brother adopted his first lab. Once i got my house with a yard, i adopted my first lab, have had 4 others and have fostered over 40. I will never say never to another breed, but i just like my labby dogs.
