Thanks! And, unfortunately for Whistle, he did not get the bacon. However, he did get one of his favorite organic treats once he was safely loaded and seatbelted into my van before the drive home.

What a wonderful day! Love the picture. Just have to ask — did Whistle ever get that bacon?

Found this accidently. A number of good points – the importance of GOOD dog food is too often ignored and this post includes a lot of interest. It can really affect their mood and training. Can’t wait to future posts. Am planning to put my thoughts down in a similar blog.

Thanks for your suggestion Omar. I actually tried Natural Balance and Morgan was allergic to it also. He has extremely severe allergies and the only food that has worked so far is a rabbit and potato that I purchase with a prescription.

Regarding your retired service dog. You really don’t need a prescription for the type of diet he needs. There’s a dog food brand called Natural Balance, which is sold at large chains, it’s great for allergies. They have several different protein sources and single carbohydrate source. For example, one of them is potato and fish, potato and chicken, potato and venison, and a couple others. It’s a lot cheaper than prescription and has a lot better ingredients too.

Comment on Service dogs and pinch collars: help or hindrance? by Marcie

Thanks for your comment Mary. I can only speak for myself, but I only use the pinch collar on Whistle when we are out in public. When we come home or if I feel we are in a comfortable environment, the collar definitely comes off.

I’m curious as to how often the pinch collar comes off the dog(s) am I correct to assume that the dog does not wear the collar at all times? Thanks!
