 High Quality Dog Foods

Comparison of Grain Free Foods - Check this website to find a variety of high quality grain free foods.  If your dog has skin allergies (itchy skin), a grain free food may help.  I would recommend that you choose a food that has a protein content in the 20% to 30% range.  Some toy breed dogs have trouble with the higher protein content foods (42%).

Merrick Pet Foods

Merrick Flossies - 6" - 8" These are a favorite chew for my Havanese.  I highly recommend them.  Please do not buy rawhide chews or Greenies for your pups!
