26 THE NEW BARKER www.TheNewBarker.com LESS IS MORE. Does your dog experience food sensitivities? Less ingredients could mean less chance of sensitive reactions. We love Canidae’s PURE limited ingredient diet made with fresh salmon. Not only is this a great diet option for dogs, the whole line of Canidae Grain Free PURE is one of the most affordable foods on the market. Available at BarkLife Market, Seminole/727.399.3647 and St. Pete/727.343.7700; Dog Mania & Cats, Dade City/352.467.9622; Fluffy Puppies, Clearwater/727.446.7999; Pet Food Warehouse, St. Petersburg/727.521.6191. THE KINDEST, HEALTHIEST KIMBLE. A vegan diet is a great option for senior dogs who are more prone to health problems like joint pain, arthritis, obesity, and strain on internal organs. A plant-based diet is naturally anti-inflammatory, easily digestible and gentler on your dog’s system than a meat-based counterpart. We have spoken with several dog parents who swear by the line of v-dog food and treats. Their older dogs love it, and they’re seeing wonderful results.

Brooks (pictured right) took matters into her own hands, and her kitchen. That’s when she developed Pawsitively Pure Dog Food. We met Carole at Global Pet Expo earlier this year. When she found out about Rita, our arthritic MinPin, she gave us a sample of her special Bone Broth. Within days, Rita’s hind legs were no longer wobbly. Bonus: Rita has a very sensitive tummy and reacts to every- thing new we give her. She had absolutely no adverse reaction to the addition of the Bone Broth to her kibble, and ate it up. We’re big believers in this whole line of Super Premium food for dogs at any life stage. To order, go to PawsitivelyPureDogFood.com or call 407.450.6151. Carole M. Brooks, founder of Pawsitively Pure Dog Food and her dog Ryley Jones, who is 14 years old. RAW, NEATLY PACKAGED. A raw diet helps support healthy digestion, vibrant skin and coat, stamina and vitality. Stella and Chewy’s Raw Dinners For Dogs are freeze-dried raw dinner patties. It really is the perfect and most conven- ient way to feed the power of raw. Dougie and Angel, The New Barker taste testers, have the skin and coat to prove the healthy results. Just add water (or your favorite Bone Broth from Pawsitively Pure).
