A mention of OUR food on television by The Royal Treatment Veterinary Center about diets for your dog on WGN TV at about 11:30am on Tuesday, Feb. 14th. We were told we would be on the “good” side of the foods.

Those who are feeding Sirius Cooks stews are one step ahead of the game. Remember – no corn, wheat, soy, animal or vegetable fillers. Your dog is a dog, not a chicken!

Oh yeah, today is Zoe’s Turkey Stew day, cooked fresh – no grains – on the day!

P.S.  WGN (in Chicago-area) is at 11am, 12am and 5pm. Glad we have DVR’s! :)

None are carried at Sirius Cooks, please tell friends.

These are voluntary, as the FDA usually waits to do a real, serious (to them) recall.

If you don’t know what Aflatoxin is (the mold) please check our Dr. Karen Becker (who has great links available) at: http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2012/01/10/pet-food-with-toxic-corn.aspx

You know the faster training ones, the dog listens only because of the fear of getting hurt?

Here are some of our local Midwestern trainers that we recommend (I’m sure we’re missing some great ones!): Patricia McConnell at: http://patriciamcconnell.com; Tamar Geller at http://tamargeller.com AND Animal Sense at http://animalsense.com

Does not contain salt so burn their paws, hands or roots. Don’t settle for imitations sold at “big box” stores.

John Bradley, wants to ADD breed specific legislation. It’s now set for a March 8th vote. Hey, this is beyond outlawing Pitbulls, Rotties, Dobermans … name a breed. Phone the chair, Lisa Dugan at (217) 782-5981 or FAX her at (217) 558-4553. Keep it short and simple: NO to HB1080 “The deed and NOT the breed.”
