Animal Aid is proud to co-sponsor the appearance of local author Rick Woodford (aka the “Dog Food Dude“) at Powell’s at 3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd Beaverton on Monday, June 18 at 7:00 PM.

Just as it can for humans, natural food can enable dogs to live longer, healthier lives, and with the meals, treats, and cookies in Rick Woodford’s Feed Your Best Friend Better (Andrews McMeel Publishing) dogs will never miss commercial kibble. Using extensive research and veterinarian manuals as guides, Woodford makes the transition to homemade dog food easy with simple recipes and other helpful tips on:

How to Pick out a Commercial Food; making the ingredient label easy to understand with a breakdown of ingredients that are good for the bowl and those that are best left on the shelf.  Determining Portion Size; information on body type and size help readers understand how much food their dogs need to be in the best shape.  Problem Mealtime Behaviors; how to deal with the early morning wake up call, reluctant eaters, counter surfing and more.
