What is Holistic Dog Food????
Holistic dog food recipes are believed to be much better for your dog's health than commercially produced dog foods, and there are certain foods that holistic dog food recipes tend to steer clear of. Artificial preservatives are one of those ingredients and also animal and poultry fats. Cheap fillers like corn or soy are also avoided and meat by-products that are deemed unsuitable for human consumption. Holistic dog food recipes use prevention as a method of promoting healthy dogs and it is thought if you avoid ingredients that may be harmful to dogs, the dogs general well being will be better off.
Educate yourself and read the ingredient list carefully.
You do not have to pay a ton of money for a good, premium, holistic dog food!!
A healthy puppy is a happy puppy!!!

This is a great site on the FDA and current information on dog food recalls.
The American Heartworm Society has a
wonderful site dedicated to the prevention of Heartworms.
A Word on Heartworm Prevention
Heartworms live in the heart and large adjacent vessels of infected dogs. Female heartworms can be up to 14 inches long (5.5 cm) and 1/8 inch (5mm) wide. The males are about half the size of females. A dog can have as many as 300 heartworms.
In my opinion, there is no excuse for not treating your dog monthly for heartworms. Heartworm infestation is deadly and can easily be prevented!!
Kevilyn's pack of Komondors are fed Diamond Natural Chicken and Rice formula. My time as a manufacturer's representative for a major dog food company taught me to read the ingredient list and gave me an understanding of why each ingredient is added, ingredients that serve a purpose and those that do not!

Komondors are susceptible to skin problems, allergies and bloat. Linda Arndt, The Great Dane Lady has a terrific site that explains the relationship between these problems and a poor diet. I would highly recommend visiting her site for more information.

No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich.

Keeping your dog free of pests is equally important in the overall good health of your dog. Living in the South, fleas are a year round problem.
Human grade Diatomaceous Earth is a great chemical free, organic way to treat your dog for fleas by lightly working the material into the hair of the dog. "Doggie areas" can be treated by dusting your dog's bedding and areas where he/she lays. It is also effective on ticks, lice, and can be used as an organic wormer by mixing it with your dogs food. Diatomaceous Earth is also effective in killing red ants!
