And as you know, we currently have 23 pets! It all started when Cassidy surprised us with a puppy, Athena, when Scarlet was four and Des was one. Last spring, we brought home our puppy, Astro. And we also got Luna, our gorgeous cat, over the summer after we had lost our other one. Through all of this, we currently have 20 chickens as well but they’re outdoor pets. We name, love, and care for every animal in our household. And we want what’s best for them all.
Build a Better Bowl For Your Dog With Earthborn Holistic Unrefined:
The organization thought Astro’s litter might be “Mini-Huskies” – Husky/Pomeranians or some sort of Husky mixes. Soon after we got him, we realized there was nothing Husky about him. Nothing! And not only that, but his body grew longer rather than taller. He looked like a sure Corgi for a while and then changed again. We had some suspicions but ran a DNA test that revealed all sorts of surprises! It turns out that our “Mini Husky” was largely Chihuahua, as well as Pomeranian and Shepherd. What an unlikely combo! No matter what he is, we love him BIG!
As for Athena, she’s another story to tell! True to the stuff of childhood dreams, my husband surprised us with a puppy. Again, we had no idea it was going to happen. He had found her on a rescue site months earlier and kept the secret through the whole adoption and fostering process. Athena came from Alabama. We thought my husband was at work, but he was actually headed to Vermont to meet the rescue transport. We were sick at home and then he came to the front door her little face peeking out of his coat. Seriously a shining moment in life!
So, let’s be real. Even the classiest of canines, which I certainly don’t have, are a little unrefined. They’re dogs! They eat off the floor, chase their own tails, and roll in mud. And don’t get me started on porcupines and skunks! All that aside, their quirks are why we love them. Everything they provide far outweighs a little mud and tail-chasing! In fact, I love those things because they mean PLAY and HUMOR! I celebrate my fun and wild dogs by giving them a new dog food product line –
UNREFINED. And you’re going to want to hear all about this.
Why we love it:
- This food is made with fresh, sustainably-sourced proteins, and ancient grains simply harvested from family farms.
- Did I mention it’s made with freshly picked, nutrient-rich superfoods?
- UNREFINED is enriched with Taurine, an amino acid that helps to support your dog’s health.
- And it’s for all life stages – you can feed it to adult dogs and puppies too.
- Earthborn Holistic is a family-owned company with four kitchens in the US, and has never had a recall. EVER! Do I need to say that twice??
- Athena has seen a cardiologist so we’re sensitive to her needs. That’s why we love that Earthborn Holistic only uses the good stuff. They don’t use the foods on Athena’s no fly list, like peas, lentils, legumes, chicken, potatoes, by-products, fillers, artificial colors, artificial flavors, and artificial preservatives.
- They also use innovative sustainability. Their PlantBag® contains up to 40% plant-based plastic, made from Brazilian sugarcane ethanol, and their plant-based plastic has a negative carbon footprint. NEGATIVE.
- And UNREFINED’s packaging is BPA-free and 100% recyclable through TerraCycle® and the Earthborn ReBorn program. And over 630,000 bags have been recycled and over $40,000 has been donated to pet charities. WHOA.
