Doggie Carrot Squares

Doggie Carrot Squares

There are some really high quality dog treats available out there, with great ingredients…but I’m sad to say that the opposite is usually the norm.

My Vegan Dogs

I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my adult life with a total of eight fabulous dogs (so far). And seven of them have been vegan.

Search the world wide web and it seems that the Globe and Mail is not only…
