Doesn't this look too good to be for the dogs?

As you know from an earlier post, my dogs are vegan and I feed them V-dog kibble. I usually order 30-lb bags, 2 at a time, direct from the V-dog website because none of my local pet stores carry V-dog kibble. Well, we had a dilemma when I tried to place my last order toward the end of December. V-dog was completely out of stock and not expecting a shipment until mid- to late-January. I had enough to last only about 2 weeks!

In order to keep my girls vegan and healthy, I created a recipe using ingredients that I know are safe for dogs and also provide a balance of protein, carbohydrate, fat, and antioxidants. You may be surprised to find that this recipe includes coconut oil, which also has benefits for pets. 

Meet Luna, the newest member of our family. I rescued Luna from a highway in the high desert last summer, where I found her dodging in and out of traffic with no form of identification whatsoever, including no collar, no tags, and no microchip. 

Already having two dogs, Sena and Kona, my original intention was to foster Luna until I could find her a good home. Showing clear signs of mistreatment and/or abandonment made it imperative to find the right match for her needs. 

Meanwhile, she immediately became attached to me and also to Kona. I finally realized that the right match for her is right here with us. So Luna is officially a part of our family and is thriving on lots of love, care, and vegan dog food!
