Lolas' and Duncans' Home Made Dog Food

My daughter had an issue with her dogs weight, and it was hot this summer so they also were getting hot spots. She did a lot of research and tried many home remedies but it was a very slow process. At one point she had the dogs wearing neck collars to keep them from licking the hot spots.

After a few trips to the vet she found that the dogs had yeast infections, but the cause was unknown.
She decided after the infection was cured she would try a natural home made dog food to see if that would prevent this from happening again.

The results were amazing. Lola lost 7 pounds and her coat became smooth and shinny. Duncan had always been a slim dog and never liked the store dog food. He became excited about eating and his energy doubled. I have read some diets that say to add a supplement but my daughter has had such great results that she has not added supplements yet.

Sadly, LOLA and DUNCAN have passed over to the rainbow bridge within a few months of each other at the ages of 15 and 10.   They were great  companions, hunters, and loving dogs. Both will be missed greatly but had great dog lives with their special people who cared for them!
