Dog food
Canned and dry foods are needed. However, rescued mill dogs have very specific nutritional needs, due to the poor quality food they received in the mills. There are many suitable foods that we prefer to use, available, locally in a number of stores. We use small dog foods, regular adult food, puppy food, and senior food. Also, some of our special needs dogs require grain-free foods. Here are some of the brands we use:
