Pattering Pawprints

Category: Vital Chicken as a Food Topper

After losing his dad, Bear struggled with his diet and refused Proplan. I didn’t want to rely on table scraps, but I also couldn’t let him go hungry. The solution? Shredding Vital Chicken finely—just a little, and he’s eating happily! It’s made all the difference, keeping him nourished while giving him a meal he actually enjoys. If you have a picky pup or a pet who needs gentle encouragement to eat, this could be a great option! I’ve included the link to Amazon in case you want to check it out.

Healthy, happy, and full of love—just the way he should be!

  • Murray’s Favorite Toy—5 Paws Approved! Nerf Dog Vortex Chain Tug

    For reasons unknown, this rope has captured Murray’s heart more than any other toy we’ve ever gotten him. If I’m interpreting his native tongue correctly, it’s the perfect length, weight, and texture—an absolute winner in his eyes!

    A word of caution: if you have a powerful pup, the football might not last long. But the rope itself? It’s fantastic. We’ve stocked up with five of them so Murray has one at every house he visits—because heaven forbid he ever be without his favorite toy!

    If your dog loves ropes, this one is absolutely worth a try. Murray wouldn’t steer you wrong!

  • Welcome to Pattering Paw Prints

    If you’ve ever loved a dog like family, you’re in the right place. My love for dogs started early—thanks to my grandparents’ basset hound who stole my heart and probably a few snacks off the table. Since then, dogs have been a constant part of my life. These days, I share my home (and couch) with two amazing pups: 4-year-old Murray and 6-year-old Bear.

    Over the years, I’ve welcomed dogs of all sizes and personalities into my home. Life can be crazy at times, but it is always worth it. Since I am always with a dog, I’m constantly on the hunt for the best toys, treats, gear, and wellness tips to help my pups live their happiest, healthiest lives. This blog is my way of sharing that journey with you.

    I’ll be posting about products I’ve tried, lessons I’ve learned, and the everyday joys (and occasional chaos) of life with dogs. I hope you find something helpful here—and I’d love to learn from your experiences, too.

    Thanks for stopping by. Let’s create a mural of pattering pawprints together.
