Sharda just sent us an email about her new package of eBooks and audio files on the Dangers in Dog foods, Diet and Nutrition. We have bought several of her other books so this was a easy purchase for us. She included The Complete Guide to Dog Nutrition as well as several eBooks on making food for your Bichon.
Sharda offers several packages from just the above to a full library of Allergies, Food for Finicky Eaters, treats, biscuits, the list goes on…
Part of her letter included:
We have all heard the “horror stories” about the tainted, and sometimes toxic, dog foods on the market, AND ABOUT ALL THE DOG FOOD RECALLS.
Many of us are aware of the poor quality, sometimes useless, filler ingredients in many commercial dog foods and the dangers of many foods cooked in our homes for our dogs.
Even if you prepare your dog’s food at home, there’s the danger of feeding the wrong type of food. They can rob your dog of… IT’S ENERGY, IT’S HEALTH, AND OF IT’S VERY LIFE ITSELF.
You are probably just like me, and like most responsible dog owners, just want the best for your dog within a certain budget, right?
Take a look at the packages Sharda offers here… your Bichon may just thank you for it.

A recent dog grooming competition in Melbourne brought out the most creative groomers and their dogs. Groomer- Lori McGil spent many months coming up with her creation which involved dressing up as Cleopatra and transforming a Bichon Frise into a golden Sphinx. Can’t you just picture these two hanging out in the Sahara? Dogs seem to have a lot of fun as they receive a bunch of attention! Read more here.
It’s time to head to for your summer vacation or for your long awaited week of vacation. But, what do you do with your Bichon Frise dogs? Some people are unable to face the prospects of boarding their Bichon Frise and therefore, they stay home. Others either impose on their friends or hire “pet sitters” to come into their homes. And finally, a vast number of people choose to board their Bichon’s in kennels. Before committing your Bichon to a particular kennel, you should visit the facility for a personal inspection. Does it appear to be clean, does it smell clean, is it well lit and ventilated? How is the temperature? Are the cages and runs of adequate size? A phone call to the American Boarding Kennels Association (719-667-1600) will determine if the kennel under consideration meets accepted standards and is accredited. Read more.

Bichon Frise’s who love to burrow under the covers, between the sheets, into piles of clothes and under pillows now have a bed made just for them! The Burrow Bed is a fantastic solution for dogs who need to stay warm, or who like to dig and burrow. The back is closed, making a big, fluffy “bag” in which to crawl, curl and snooze. Wonder if our little Luna would like this Burrow Bed as she is a Bichon puppy dog that has some fun burrowing under our covers at night. Visit here for details.
