In comparison to other brands of dog food, how healthy is Nutro?

In all honesty, Nutro is a lower grade product that uses fillers instead of real meat.

Nutro does not make their product with human grade ingredients like many brands now do.

Under no circumstances could it be called human grade dog food.

True, it probably does not share the same price tag either, but there are many other healthy dog foods on the market, if you want an alternative to a brand like Nutro.

I recommend Natural Balance dog foods as the best choice, and its available at a very reasonable price.

Natural Balance and Blue Buffalo dog food use higher quality ingredients than Nutro such that they are not in the same category of product.

Nutro is most similar to the Waltham dog food brands which include Cesar, Chappie, Pedigree, etc.

Waltham pet foods target nutrition with convenience, as does Nutro.

Bichon Frise Breeders: The Genuine Article

by Mary Stevenson

One popular purebred dog is the Bichon Frise. The breed has existed in its current form since the Middle Ages. The Bichon Frise has been a companion of Spanish sailors, a beloved pet of French royalty, and even a popular and charismatic circus performer! Intelligent and charming, the Bichon Frise is popular because of the breed’s powder puff white fur and human expression. The breed is also extremely friendly and outgoing and even helped the Spanish increase diplomacy on their trade routes.

As years passed, the breed name was shortened to Bichon. During the Renaissance the Bichon became a favorite dog of French royalty. Unfortunately, the Bichon became commonplace and fell out of favor among the elite though it gained favor among the common people. Many were trained to perform tricks in traveling circuses. The French added Frise to the name to reference the breed’s soft, curly fur.
