This is my third installment in my series of food rotations I give to my dog. Stella and Chewy’s is the maker of raw and freeze dried dog food and treats.

Second in the installment of foods I rotate with my dogs is the Honest Kitchen. This company is family run and based out of San Diego. The food is very unique because it is dehydrated. All you do is add warm water to the 100% human grade ingredients, stir and voila! You have fresh, healthy and yum yums dog food ready to serve.

The first in the series of foods that I feed my dogs is ZiwiPeak. Most people probably have not heard of this company or food.

It is a very unique product, super high in quality, extremely palatable and best of all, you can still scoop and go like kibble.

Since the closing of the Natura deal with P&G earlier this month, we have been facing a lot of questions about what lies ahead. I have been quite open with our position and, as a result, we have been pursued by the manufacturer and the local distributor to continue to sell the lines.

Their approach has been to show us how successful we have been in the past selling these lines and how much potential business we may lose. They have gone as far as offering to fly us out to see the P&G plant in Ohio. They want to show us that P&G is reformed. They want us to believe. They want us to continue to sell their foods.
