Puppybowl Referee and Pet Rescue Expert Shares His Tips for Pet Rescue, Health and Finding the Right Food
More than 6.3 million dogs and cats end up in shelters each year, and they all need a new, loving home. While it’s easy to jump at the cutest dog or a certain breed, it’s important to make an informed decision and learn about a pet’s personality and energy level. You’ll want to choose a furry friend that fits your lifestyle and can easily adapt to home life with you.
Once you’ve adopted your four-legged pal, it’s time to focus on health and feeding the right food. The truth is that not all pet food is the same, and it's important to find brands that offer wholesome ingredients like real meat, fish and vegetables.
