Why I Feed My Dogs Dry Roasted Cashews (Health Benefits + Recipe)

August 22, 2021 by Jason Jensen

Dry roasted cashews

My wife and I love cashews. They've sort of become a staple in our house. We use them for all sorts of recipes – sauces, creams, stir-fries, salads – and sometimes we just snack on them raw or roasted. Since we buy them in bulk – typically 5 lb or more – I always have an abundance in our pantry, so occasionally I feed them to my dogs as a treat. They don't care for raw ...

Why I Feed My Dogs Powdered Peanut Butter (AKA PB2)

July 11, 2021 by Jason Jensen

Powdered peanut butter

A few months ago my wife and I heard about this product called PB2. It's become famous in the fitness world as a low-calorie alternative to regular peanut butter. It's essentially nothing more than peanuts that have been defatted, dehydrated, and turned into a powder. My guess is it's probably a byproduct of peanut oil. After hearing so many of our favorite fitness Youtubers ...

Can Dogs Eat Quinoa? Yes, But Only if You Cook It the Right Way

July 5, 2021 by Jason Jensen

Quinoa

For the past decade or so, quinoa has become all the rage. Many people have adopted it as a healthier alternative to rice. Since rice is safe for dogs to eat – it's a common ingredient in many dog foods – then it stands to reason quinoa should also be safe for them.

June 30, 2021 by Jason Jensen

Mexican Grey Wolf

Something I never expected recently happened: my Bullboxer Pit was attacked by a wolf. Actually, let me rephrase that more accurately: my Bullboxer Pit attacked a wolf. It didn't go well. It was about 10 PM, and one of my dogs, Morty, wanted to be let out. I obliged and opened the front door to let him out. It quickly bolted outside, and after just a few seconds, I heard ...

December 17, 2020 by Jason Jensen

Bullboxer Pit

Exactly 18 months ago, at the time of writing this, my wife and I were driving down highway 80 in the middle of nowhere, when my wife spotted a little puppy trekking it down the side of the road. He was cute but in bad shape, so we picked him up, and ultimately ending up keeping him. At the time, he was too young to know for certain what breed he was. All I knew for sure ...

Are Alaskan Malamutes Good Guard Dogs? (Not Really, But They Can Fake the Part)

December 3, 2020 by Jason Jensen

On the surface, the Alaskan Malamute is a large, scary-looking breed that is wolf-like in appearance. If you were out in the wild, and you suddenly came across one of these dogs, you'd probably think it was time to run for the hills. But does this mean they are actually good guard dogs? Alaskan Malamutes certainly look the part of a guard dog, but in actuality they are not ...

December 1, 2020 by Jason Jensen

Norwegian Elkhound

There are many pros to owning a Norwegian Elkhound: they are fearless protectors, extremely loyal, and love being around people... Unfortunately, one of their major cons is that they aren't the best choice for families with multiple pets. Instinctively, Norwegian Elkhounds do not typically get along well with other pets.
