The Gift Your Dog Deserves This Holiday

Years ago when we adopted Canela from Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary, I could never have known how much a pet could change my life. When I was growing up, we always had cats and she is my first dog ever. She has quickly become of the best things that has ever happened to me. From consoling me when I lost to my dad, to the memories our little family shared over the years, #CanelaReyes still manages to put a smile on my face every time I think about her during a busy day of all things #DoTheDaniel. So this holiday season I wanted to find the perfect gifts to stuff her stocking (yes, a stocking is hung for her so that Santa brings her presents) and so that I can treat her the way she deserves.  Continue reading “The Gift Your Dog Deserves This Holiday”

You’ll remember that she is now a brand ambassador for World of Angus and together we are always bringing you all the best additions to our lives as pet owners thanks to their incredible products.

Toronto | If you wouldn’t eat it, why would your dog?

Being that I am a first time dog owner, I can admit that I might not have been as educated as I thought I was about things such as grooming and diet. Owning a dog, especially a rescue, changes your life in ways that are hard to explain. Falling completely in love with an animal from the moment you see them is such a powerful thing. That could be with a dog that currently has physical limits on how far they can move at the moment. Which is why people decide to do research into dog backpack carriers. Websites like Stop That Dog (more information at https://www.stopthatdog.com/best-backpack-carrier-for-dogs/) can give you some insight into how to support your new best friend. That is what my friend mentioned anyway. I quickly came to realize that I wanted Canela (our two year old Sharpei mix – and yes she has her own Instagram account) to live the best life I could provide her.

Looking at the photo above, you might assume that it was taken at a healthy butcher here in Toronto. You wouldn’t be completely wrong in that assumption. Having recently visited All Good Dog Food Co. with Canela, I came to realize that this Toronto based store and their unique passion for healthy dog food is looking to improve the life of my dog just as much as I am.
