Have you ever scarfed down a meal while you were in a hurry? I have, and my stomach usually doesn’t feel great afterwards. I can only imagine the same is true for my dog. You may have seen it already on our shelf: a bowl with three columns in it. It is not a weird new round Lego; it is a very cleverly designed bowl for the dog that inhales his food. 

We have all done it.  Our cute, little furry friend is practically smiling at us from beneath the kitchen table.  The ears are perked and the tail is wagging.  We know what our dog is after.  Just a tiny tidbit from dinner would be delightful, right?  What could it hurt?  It is just a bite or two after all. 

Check out this great article on the top 7 worst dog food brands by the Holistic & Organix Pet Shoppe.  Could it be that your dog is eating one of these seemingly healthy but nutritionally devoid kibbles?  Read on to find out more!

At DogBoy's, we've always been nerds about dog food.  It's no secret.  Before we opened DogBoy's almost 18 years ago, Bart Emken (aka DogBoy) was employed by Tomlinson's, and learned all about quality pet foods and how they affect behavior.  So although the industry standard is to feed whatever is affordable and plentiful (i.e. crappy dog food), we have always fed a higher than normal quality kibble to our boarding dogs, and recommended great foods to our customers as well.  For years, we have fed Natura's California Natural Lamb & Rice.
