Dog Logic is Pretty Darn Simple

Read Before You Feed!

Although Riley's Place feeds our FurKids a raw diet we know that not everyone chooses this for their dogs. If you don't feed raw then choosing the right dry food for your dog is something that should be taken very seriously. Click this Grade Your Dog Food link for a great reference to help you choose a good quality dry food! Those of you who already feed a dry diet would do well to review this as well.

Issues with Your Dog?

If you are having issues with your dog, we welcome the opportunity to try to help! Please first attempt to locate a blog topic that matches your issue and post your comment there. You can use the SEARCH box for this. If you don't find a post that closely resembles your needs, click over to our contact form and tell us about the problem. If your topic isn't currently available on our site and we feel we may be able to help, we'll start a blog post on it. We *do not* provide any form of help privately by email or other method.

IMPORTANT! We hope that our responses are helpful and beneficial to you but please understand that we are not certified veterinarians, dog behaviorists or dog trainers. All information and blog post responses are based solely on our research, understandings, experiences and beliefs. Any suggestions made that you attempt on your own are considered as an "at your own risk" situation and as a decision you made thus is your responsibility. We are not responsible for any negative experiences you may have as a result of you taking any of our suggestions or using our methods. Always remember that what works for one dog does not work for all dogs.
