Giving your dog or cat probiotics is one of the best things you can do to be proactive for their health. A healthy gut is the best way to prevent and protect your pet from almost all health ailments! But not all probiotics are equal. At Poochie Moochie here in Edmonton we do a lot of research into every single one of the products we carry, Adored Beast Apothecary has been our go to pre/probiotic. Today I want to compare Love Bugs Pre and Probiotic to one of the most widely consumed probiotic for dogs. Purina Proplan Forti Flora.

The main culprit for pets becoming overweight is the fact that the vast majority of pets are fed kibble. Kibble is high in starch, carbohydrates and sugar. Most kibble is actually higher in carbs than protein. Like humans, when we eat fast food and junk food, we gain weight. The exact thing happens to pets. Kibble is comparable to eating fast food. 

When shopping local at Poochie Moochie Edmonton, you can shop assured that we do extensive research into every brand we carry. We look at their safety guidelines, every ingredient, and the company ethics. We do this so we can answer the questions that our beloved customers ask. Education is something we strive for at our store. 

It’s Spring! That unfortunately means allergies can be in full swing for our furry friends. Today we want to talk about the best supplements we carry at Poochie Moochie Edmonton to help them have the best itch free spring and summer!

Even if a commercial pet food claims it "meets nutritional requirements", it is designed to be a convenience food that lasts longer than fresh food. Think about processed food for humans: we know they are not the healthiest choice for us, yet we tend to buy it because it's quick, easy and lasts longer on our shelves. Same goes for processed pet foods. Kibble tends to be full of preservatives and grain additives, which compromise about 50% of processed pet foods

Here at Poochie Moochie Edmonton we exclusively sell raw because we believe that natural fresh foods can significantly decrease and assist in a lot of major diseases such as IBD, Pancreatitis, kidney disease, cancer etc. 

Feeding raw isn't always an option for everyone and that's okay! There are still way's to provide your dog or cat with extra nutrition that will help them thrive!

Inflammatory Bowel Disease is caused by chronic inflammation in your dogs GI tract which leads to the prevention of nutrition absorption. Symptoms include, vomitting, diarrhea, stomach/abdominal pain and weight loss. The exact cause of IBD cannot be pinpointed although factors at play are genetics, diet, and food allergies. How do you cure IBD? Well you actually can't but you CAN manage it! Here at Poochie Moochie Edmonton we believe that the key to preventing and treating a number of illnesses is providing them with a diet that is all natural with no preservatives or fillers.....
