Koa on the Cape
With DogsRUs Boston co-founder, Sean, taking a much-deserved holiday, I had the pleasure of spending an entire weekend with Koa, his 100-pound Bullmastiff. What a gentle giant. I picked him up at The Dog House and we headed straight for Cape Cod. Friday night was mellow, and so was Koa. He slept on the living …
Theo’s a Sparkler
This 4th of July weekend, I spent some time with a puppy named Theo, who is a friend of Dogs R Us Boston. So far, I’ve had the pleasure of walking two puppies, and just like with children, everything is new to them. Theo was a quick-learner, though. At first, he was hesitant to walk …

The Dog House Offers “Tastes of the Wild” Natural Dog Food
There seems to be an anti-agriculture (grain) movement afoot. It’s gaining traction in the human diet (author Gary Taubes; documentary “Fat Head“). The idea is that for thousands of years, we ate primarily animal meat and fat; and since the mass proliferation of grains (soybeans, corn, wheat), we’ve changed our fundamental diet to create higher …
