Wholesome Choice Pet Market For as long as I can remember, dogs and cats have eaten dry pellets called kibble. Mind you, I’m not a spring chicken, nor am I older than Methuselah (as my grandfather used to say). But, for the last 60 years or so, big companies have spent significant amounts of money to convince us that our pets can actually thrive on mediocre ingredients, colored to make it look appealing to us and preserved with who knows what allow us to buy it in bulk and store it in our garages in large plastic tubs for years….yuck.
Significant research into optimal nutrition for our dogs and cats has been conducted over the years, and although it is true that some of these commercial foods are better than they used to be, the fact remains that you cannot change the way a body functions simply by forcing it to subsist on a diet that it’s not designed to handle. Read the ingredient panel of your pets’ food and see how it measures up (even, some of the “prescription” diets don’t cut the mustard)
So, let’s say once and for all (despite what some big marketing firms would have you believe):
GRAINS, ESPECIALLY WHEAT, CORN & SOY ARE NOT A NECESSARY PART OF YOUR PET’S DIET, BUT CAN BE DETRIMENTAL IN MANY WAYS
BY-PRODUCTS ARE AN UNACCEPTABLE INGREDIENT IN PET FOOD
BHA, BHT & ETHOXYQUIN ARE CHEMICAL FORMS OF PRESERVATIVES WHICH MAY BE HARMFUL & HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR PET’S FOODS
Some points in reference:
Dogs and cats’ bodies do not synthesize the enzymes required to digest and metabolize starches or fruits & vegetables in their raw form.
Dogs and cats do not use carbohydrates for energy, they utilize fats and proteins.
Dogs and cats have more concentrated acids in their digestive system which kill harmful bacteria before they can do any harm. These same acids allow them to digest bone as well as feathers, fur and other offal.
Because we have been feeding our pets inappropriate foods, they are becoming more susceptible to diseases like cancer and diabetes. And the excessive licking, scratching & gas? Guess what? Those conditions can be fixed with nutrition as well.
We specialize in healthy nutritional alternatives for dogs & cats; we’re here 7 days a week to help you; and it’s our mission to help you and your pet spend many healthy, happy years together. The added bonus? By helping your pet live a healthier life, you’ll spend less in the long run on expensive medical treatments.

Plush Puppies Kennel & Day Care Center
Well, Summer has officially begun at Plush Puppies Kennel & Daycare Center -the dogs are in the pool!!!! Looter & Boo (aka Kazmere) are splashing around & doing "doggie laps" a couple of times a day during daycare. Doodle & the gang aren't so interested in the pool, but they do love the purple wading pool out in the yard. A fun time is had by all when the water works begin.
Unfortunately, we had to close the Doggie Depot downtown. I guess some things aren't meant to be. However, if you live or work downtown & want to do daycare with us, I am still picking up from there twice a week. Call for details, (619)561-4299.
And lastly, we would like to honor the dogs that have come through our doors & have moved on to The Rainbow Bridge. Byron (age 8), Kula (age 7), Sally (age 13), Argyle (age 15), Cowboy (age 3), Roxie (age 7) & Roger (age 11). We love you
all & miss you. We look forward to seeing you again-this ball's for you
