Traveling by car over the holidays with your dog can be a bit sketchy between the chaos which sometimes happens inside the car and the chaos that happens regularly on the streets.

Even on the best of days, my dog, Bailey, can go absolutely nuts when someone rings the doorbell.

Canned dog food is not something I normally feed my dogs. However, my 11-year old pup, Spice, has always had some interesting dental problems. Her poor teeth could never seem to come clean, even with the use of dog toothbrushes. Her breath was awful. She loved to cuddle, but you just had to make sure her face was turned away.

Usually, when my dog gets his snack, he will take it in his mouth, trot to some comfy place in the house, and sit down to nibble on whatever treat he received.
