There is no ‘typical’ timeline in which things are expected to …Read More about The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons

Quality dog food: FKD helps with short term costs, long term benefits

August 28, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

One of the first few questions adopters always ask us – “Which brand or type of dog food should we get for our new dog?” or “Our dog arrived but is not eating well (or not touching the food). Doggie seems like a picky eater – what should I do?”
