“Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.” ~Unknown
As most of you know I’m the mom of two precious little girls, Chanel and Rosie. These two are angels most of the time, well Chanel is all of the time. But Rosie loves to get into mischief every now and then.
Chanel is 11 years old and has been completely blind since she was 3. Rosie the 1+ year old baby, a quick learner, figured out Chanel’s handicap and would sometimes steal her food. As a result, Chanel started gobbling her food and would end up getting sick.
It took some training but Rosie rarely snatches Chanel’s food anymore. However, Chanel isn’t taking any chances and continues to gobble. So I came across this “Slo Bowl” by Outward Hound. The idea is that it makes your pet slow down their eating and take smaller bites. This in turn helps with their digestion and can also help prevent obesity and bloating.
We’ve used this bowl it for about 2 weeks and it’s works great! Chanel is doing much better and is noticeably eating a lot slower and not getting sick.
There are many different types of slow feeder bowls on the market. Some have a more complex design making your pet slow down their eating even more. But I opted for this one and I’m so glad I did. It’s a breeze to clean and is also dishwasher safe. Plus it has a non-slip base, holds 2 cups of dry or wet food and is made from food safe materials (Free From: BPA, PVC, Lead and Phthalate). It also comes in 2 sizes, Large/Regular and Medium/Mini depending on the size of your pet.
Some pet owners reported that using a slow feeder bowl made their pet frustrated. Chanel has been absolutely fine and isn’t showing any signs of frustration eating from this particular bowl. For some pets it make take a little time to retrain their minds but overall this is a great invention and helps to improve your pet’s health. These bowls are available in most local pet stores and online: Chewy, Amazon, Target, Walmart.
I would recommend this product for your pet, but always talk with your vet first if you have any concerns.
Hope you enjoyed this product review, thanks for stopping by!!!

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 14th. Often we take for granted all the wonderful things that mom’s do for us everyday. Like the pile of clean clothes that magically appear in your dresser or the sweet love note with encouraging words that are hidden in your lunch bag. What about the breakfast or dinner that’s ready to go just when you’re starving, in a rush and don’t have time to make anything for yourself. Let’s not forget all the love and support they give as the biggest fan of our lives!
This Mother’s Day give her a gift that touches her heart. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Get creative, put a little extra thought into it and give her a special gift from your heart!

I was horrified when I found out the adverse affects of rabies vaccine on my girls. Most vets give you the option of a 1 year or 3 year rabies vaccine. The majority of pet owners opt for the 1 year vaccine because it’s cheaper and they think their pet is getting a lower dose.
But here’s what you don’t know. The dosage for the 1 year and 3 year are the same. The reason is because the vaccine will stay in your dog’s body for about 3 years. So if you’re getting annual rabies shots you’re basically overdosing on the vaccine.
Adverse reactions to the rabies vaccine can be mild like swelling, lethargy, or vomiting or they can be much more severe. Reactions can show up shortly after getting vaccinated or over a period of time and can cause permanent damage. Dogs Naturally Magazine has a good article online that outlines 65 ways the vaccine can harm your dog including cancers, seizures, epilepsy, autoimmune diseases and so much more.
Sadly I didn’t find out about this until it was too late. I had Cocoa vaccinated annually her entire life. She had the energy and vigor of a young dog until she got her last required vaccine. Within 3 months of getting vaccinated, her health rapidly declined and she passed away within a year.
I miss her a lot but at least now I know how detrimental the vaccine is to dogs so I won’t make the same mistake again. I don’t want you to take my word for it, but do your own research as scary as it may be. Your pup will thank you!

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, this Sunday, May 9th. So why not give mom a gift that touches the heart. I have many fond memories of Mother’s Day celebrations but when my son baked me a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting, all vegan from scratch with a beautiful design in colored sprinkles, that really touched my heart 💖 He put so much love into that cake for me I’ll cherish that memory forever. Not to mention, the cake was so delicious we polished it off in only 2 days!!
Another touching memory was when my daughter spent a very rainy Mother’s Day with me watching our favorite movies with popcorn and candy. We had lunch in between and even played a few board games which is something I’ve loved doing since I was a kid. We had such fun together as we laughed all day. She created a wonderful loving memory that I will hold in my heart till the end of time 💖
So what are you going to do for you mom on Mother’s Day that will touch her heart? Here’s a few ideas to get you inspired:
Get creative, put a little extra thought into it and give her a gift from your heart 💖
