Ideal Bite

Meet Bisou…the new little 5 pound ball of fluff running around my apartment. My boyfriend and I adopted her two weeks ago from Waggytail Rescue in NYC. She’s an older lady and has a bit of arthritis and tiny seizures (aww) but was too cute to pass up. Bisou (means “kiss” in French ‘cuz she’s fulla them) was staying with a foster mom who informed us that our Pom is supa picky about what she eats. Currently, she only chows on Dogswell Happy Hips treats (good for her creaky hips) and homemade organic chicken stew sans any grains (best for dogs with seizures) courtesy of moi.

Well it just so happens that out of the blue (talk about timing), Dogswell owner Marco was in town celebrating the World’s Oldest Dog - a 21-year-old dachshund named Chanel who eats Dogswell and wears doggles for her cataracts. So, I caught up with him to hear about the latest line - cage-free chicken and oats Shape Up treats and food that’s low in fat and calories with L-Carnitine to keep the pudge off your pooch. Bonus: all of their grub is made with natural meat and poultry with absolutely no added hormones, processed gluten, wheat, corn, soy, and flour, and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives like BHA, BHT, or Ethoxyquin that extend the shelf life of a product. With the right diet and exercise, we think Bisou’ll be crowned the next World’s Oldest Dog.
