answered a question Are there durable, moisture-proof couch cushion covers?

I like Crypton fabrics. I buy them when they are on sale and make a cover for my furniture. When it is soiled, I toss it in the washer and dryer. It is good as new.

answered a question Where do you buy your dog food?

I would never feed my dogs kibbles. When I run out of their regular food, I mix either lean chicken or turkey (yes, the kind humans eat) without the seasoning, with the base mix from The Honest Kitchen. You can get that from Amazon or other online stores.

answered a question What is the best way to rid your dog of fleas?

I have tried them all. What works for me- first and foremost, feed a raw diet. DE food grade on all carpets and floors over night,then vacuum up. vacuum DAILY( I cannot stress that enough), put Geraniol (or with Neem) collar on the dog as flea repellent, shampoo as needed (it does not matter which shampoo, it is the suffocation that kills the fleas).

answered a question Favorite Dog foods?

Raw is the best. I used to feed my late Shelties homemade food, now my pups are on raw and we are never going back. Their coat is shiny and silky and they are full of energy. Their teeth are clean and their poops are small. However, you have to know what you are doing because it is important that the diet is balanced. By the way, there are a lot of commercially available raw dog foods for sale in the market these days.

answered a question Can dogs eat Turkey?

Yes. I give ground or slices of boneless turkey to my dogs, with NO seasoning, all the time. With the commercially cooked turkey, I would soak it in hot water for a few minutes to rinse off the seasoning before offering to my pups.
