I never really liked burgers (love veggie burgers) but I miss pepperoni pizza and bacon sometimes. <br /><br />The Ginger Sisters went nuts for the Pork & Root Vegetable formula sample when I used it as training treats, too. I hope it will be more widely available soon - right now there is only one local pet retailer that carries it. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Kimberly!Lara Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661093611286883883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-34690591719643217152015-08-11T12:14:07.863-06:002015-08-11T12:14:07.863-06:00Great review, Lara!!!

I will admit that I do cheat and have a burger every now and then, because the restaurant I go to sources from local/humane farmers so I don't mind.<br /><br />I love Open Farm and use their food as training treats for our raw fed dogs. Open Farm falls right in line with what I'm doing with my dogs' diet. All of the raw I get is sourced from ethical/humane farmers and brands and I love that I can continue that trend with their training treats while supporting an amazing company.<br /><br />The recycling program is just a cherry on the top!Kimberly Gauthier, Dog Nutrition Blogger for Keep the Tail Wagginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021211954887075184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-79955851926487746672015-08-11T09:17:17.153-06:002015-08-11T09:17:17.153-06:00I hope it will become more widely available as mor...I hope it will become more widely available as more people learn about it!Lara Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661093611286883883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-91655347046195753622015-08-11T09:16:42.858-06:002015-08-11T09:16:42.858-06:00They are just starting their distribution in the U...They are just starting their distribution in the U.S. so it's not widely available yet, but I hope it will be as more people become aware of it.

I made chicken for my family last night, but only ate the rice and green beans because I didn't feel like eating meat. A few years ago, I stopped eating pork for a number of different reasons. But I still indulge in bacon unfortunately, from time to time.

We are happy and doing well on our current food. Mom is a carnivore like us, so she likes to get meat in the dog food As much as she loves cows, pigs and chickens, she just couldn't imagine not eating meat or dairy. Everyone has to make their own decisions in life.Thanks for telling us more about this brand.My GBGV Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281486885814998377noreply@blogger.com
