Dogs are often protective of their belongings and loved ones. While this can be a cute trait, it can also lead to dangerous situations if left unchecked. Resource guarding is when a dog becomes possessive of objects or people and will act aggressively to protect them. In this podcast, we will discuss the signs of resource guarding, how to prevent it, and what to do if your dog starts exhibiting these behaviors.

While some people may see the pheasant as nothing more than a game animal, it is important to remember that every creature has a role to play in the food chain. This means that when we play a role in the killing of a pheasant, we have a responsibility to ensure that all parts of the bird are used and consumed. There are many ways to make use of a pheasant. The meat can be eaten by humans or dogs, the feathers can be used for fly fishing, and even the bones can be used to make stock. Nothing should go to waste! Not only is it important to respect the animal by using all of its parts, but it is also important from a practical standpoint. Wasting food is simply not an option, especially when there are so many people and animals that go hungry every day.

In this podcast, we talk to Amy Lowe about how Hoddy’s Premium Dog Food use pheasant carcass in their dog food to ensure more of each bird is used.
