This post is sponsored by Pinnacle and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping create awareness about Pinnacle's Newly Formulated Grain Free Dog Food, but Some Puppy To Love only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Pinnacle is not responsible for the content of this article.

We should all be a little more like dogs. Dogs follow their instincts and live in the now. We sometimes follow the wrong idea and live in our minds and the future a little too much. When dogs are thirtsy they drink. When they are tired, they sleep. And when they are hungry, they eat... what we give them. My black Lab, Django evens knows when she needs a little Vitamin D (see above).

With new research and scientific findings, we know what we should all be eating more than ever. Like our bodies, our dogs' bodies thrive on healthy nutrition. The more pure a food, the better. That's why I love what Pinnacle® has been doing with their dog food for nearly two decades.

Launched in 1998 as a breakthrough brand in natural holistic dog food, Pinnacle has always had holistic health ingredients before the idea of natural ingredients became popular in dog food. Pinnacle foods contained quinoa, pumpkin, kelp, flax seed, blueberries, sweet potatoes and cottage cheese.

Back in May of this year, all the dog recipes became Grain Free for easier digestion in dogs. As a gluten free mom with a child whose health mandates a gluten free diet, I can see how incredibly beneficial going grain free can be.

It only makes sense that if we are doing all we can to eat healthfully in this super saturated world of preservatives, sugar, and ingredients that we cannot even recognize, that we need to transfer that healthy eating pattern to our dogs. Our dogs will avoid many of the degenerative diseases that popped encounter by maintaining a healthy diet filled with natural ingredients.

Here is a little more on the health benefits of Pinnacle dog food:

*Quality ingredients like Quinoa, Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Sea kelp, Cottage Cheese

*Natural, healthy recipes that use high quality proteins

*Antioxidants to support healthy immune system

*Fiber to encourage healthy digestion and small stool

*Promotes general joint health and overall muscle tone

* All food made in the Pinnacle California plant

10 Strangest Items Swallowed By Dogs

My mother’s Schnauzer mix, Sha Sha, eats just about anything. I didn’t quite believe just how often she would quickly snap up everything in her sight until a few weeks ago when she swallowed a quarter and a nickel in the blink of an eye. The vet advised my mother to watch her for the next few days as the coins would likely pass. It’s a very common issue among dog owners and it doesn’t only happen with puppies. The majority of dogs do grow out of the need to eat inedible objects. It can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what a puppy would eat so it’s best to be vigilant about where you dog is allowed to freely roam. Many dogs and puppies have been known to swallow seemingly unsuitable items, which you might not find in any way enticing or preferable, but they do. Check out this list of the strangest things swallowed by dogs as witnessed by the ASPCA :

10 Most Common Medical Conditions That Send Dogs to the Vet

No one likes going to the vet, especially our dogs. Like many others, my dogs can sense when they are going way before we get there. They get nervous and hyper. Some dogs whimper endlessly at the vet’s office while countless others have fear-induced accidents right in the office. While regular check-ups and vaccinations are a necessary evil, we can try our best to keep our pups in optimal health thus avoiding another dreaded trip. Veterinary Pet Insurance compiled a list of the 10 most common medical conditions that send dogs to the vet. Some are unavoidable while others may be caught early on. Dr. Carol McConnell, DVM points out that many of the conditions that most regularly require vet visits “can be stopped early or successfully managed in partnership with a veterinarian. To prevent some of the discomfort that so many pets experience from common diseases, the place to start would be by checking them regularly for developing problems.” Check out the full list here at Babb
