Dogs Love Wild Calling’s #TheArtofNutrition

This post is sponsored by Wild Calling! and the BlogPaws Pet Network. I’m being compensated for helping spread the word, but I only share information that’s relevant to readers. Wild Calling! is not responsible for the content of this article.

I feel so blessed to have Oscar in my life. This adorable Chihuahua adds so much fun, friendship, and excitement to every day. Keeping Oscar happy and healthy is always top priority and when selecting his food, I try to find companies that share this view.

One of my favorites is Wild Calling!®. Instead of a strategy, they have a story—one that’s real, honest, and true. Quality is their concern. They believe in using the finest ingredients—including hormone and antibiotic-free meat, poultry and fish. They believe in grain free nutrition. Rich meats help create an optimal amino acid profile to support healthy muscle growth & increased energy.

Wild Calling! makes a variety of fantastic products, all of which are manufactured here in the USA. Both wet and dry options are available, with each offering these unique features:

Wild Calling! dry food:

  • zero egg, yeast, corn, wheat and soy
  • 100% grain and gluten free
  • formulated as 82% digestible, up to 77% single animal protein diets
  • especially good for dogs with sensitive stomachs or specific dietary needs
  • GlycoEdge combines tapioca, sweet potatoes and lentils for consistent energy, limits glucose and prevent insulin spikes
  • Digentle is a unique blend for gentle digestion
  • immune system support from sun-dried fruits and vegetables as well as vitamin C and E
  • available in 25, 13 and 4.5lb bags

 Wild Calling! canned food:

  • zero vegetable protein, egg, corn, wheat or soy
  • 100% grain, gluten and carrageenan free
  • formulated as a highly digestible, single protein diet
  • each cans liver is protein specific except in salmon and triple delight flavors
  • available in 13oz dog can and 5.5oz cat cans

Making sure Oscar has access to all natural food matters, but taste has to be paramount. The little guy can be very picky, so I’m pleased to say that Wild Calling tickles his taste buds. He loves their stuff and I love knowing it’s safe for him and will help to maintain his “wild” spirit.

Homemade Pet Food Recipes

a3

With scary pet food recalls in the news, one has to wonder if the food is safe at all. While most is edible, and many commercial brands are even high quality, the benefits of making homemade pet food can’t be ignored. Do you want to be able to select the freshest, healthiest ingredients that are geared to your pet’s dietary preferences? Do you want to incorporate vitamins and/or supplements? If so, I’d encourage you to try it (whether it’s done daily or only once in a while, I think making pet food can be fun, too, for anyone who enjoys cooking).

After lots of experimentation, these recipes have proven to be winners with both cats and dogs. Each recipe is very easy and fluid; there’s no measuring, weighing, or exact ingredients needed. Remember to take your individual pet’s needs into account: breed, age, weight, activity and overall health.

a3

1. Chicken Delight

Mix shredded Rotisserie chicken and diced Brussels sprouts. Add coconut oil, flax oil, powered fiber, and enough water to dissolve fiber. (I use a mix of both dark & white meat and leave the skin on, but that’s optional.)

a3a3

2. Sausage Scramble

Mix turkey sausage, shaved turkey deli meat, diced hard-boiled egg whites, and spinach and broccoli (that’s been blended/mushed by hand). 
Add coconut oil, flax oil, powered fiber, and enough water to dissolve fiber.

3. Beef & Broccoli Medley

Take a package of beef breakfast sausage that’s been cut lengthwise and place it flat side down on a microwavable plat. Heat for 10-15 seconds. Combine with steamed, chopped broccoli. Add coconut oil, flax oil, powered fiber, and enough water to dissolve fiber. (This recipe is a kitty favorite!)

4. Pot Roast & Carrots

I made this with dinner leftovers and the dogs devoured it! Just combine shredded pot roast with steamed carrots.Add coconut oil, flax oil, powered fiber, and enough water to dissolve fiber.

All of these recipes can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for 1-2 days, or bulk cooked and frozen for later. My animals don’t complain either way.

Church Hill Classics Frame – The Perfect Gift for Grads!

a3

Do you have a loved one that’s graduating soon? Believe it or not, graduation season is almost upon us! It’s always an emotional, exciting time for grads and families. After years of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice, the payoff has finally arrived. Such a huge achievement should rightfully be celebrated.

I’ve always struggled when it comes to selecting the perfect gift, and evidently I’m not alone: In a recent survey conducted by The Motherhood, 98% of respondents who have a relative graduating from college this year haven’t purchased a gift yet.

Cash and gifts card are great, but why not give something more thoughtful and long lasting, a gift that will remind them, everyday, of what they’ve accomplished?

aa

Church Hill Classics has the solution! They’re a professional framing company that helps graduates preserve and showcase those hard-earned diplomas with officially licensed frames. With all of their diploma frames handcrafted in the USA, Church Hill Classics offers an extensive selection of custom frame styles for more than 1,500 colleges and universities. Shoppers can choose from frames featuring unique, color-enameled medallions of the school seal or athletic logo, beautiful campus images, foil embossing of the school name and/or seal and even an opening for a tassel. Customize your frame with different frame moulding and matting options to get exactly what you like. There’s something to meet everyone’s personal style!

After all of the time and money spent earning that degree, no diploma should end up in a drawer, forgotten about, or even destroyed! (Can you believe many people never frame at all?! I think that’s a tragedy.)

Church Hill Classics and The Motherhood are hosting a Twitter party, tomorrow from 1:00-2:00PM. Join the #EarnItFrameIt chat to learn more about these unique frames, as well as other graduation topics. These prizes will be awarded to randomly-selected participants who answer the trivia questions correctly:
