Kale, Kale and more Kaleeeeeeee

Protein Fiber (Manages blood sugar) Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin K Folate (Vitamin B) Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega-3 fatty acid)...

Fido needs Clothes!!!
As the title of this post has suggested, Fido needs clothes!! Just as human put on clothes to protect ourselves against external elements, our furballs are not excluded! Instead of just keeping your furball stylish and fashionable, dog clothes are actually more beneficial than they may seem. Before we start, I'll like to emphasize that our dogs pants and release heat through their paws and ears, hence, light protective clothings like a cotton singlet will help to prevent him from potential sunburn, rather than making him hotter, which is a misconception that many owners have.

Why we choose to feed Raw?Since ancient days, dogs and cats' diet revolved around raw meat and meaty bones that contains live enzymes, proteins. essential fatty acids, live enzymes, organic vitamins...

Welcome to Tenpawssg
"People leave imprints on our lives, shaping who we become in much the same way that a symbol is pressed into the page of a book to tell you who it comes from. Dogs, however, leave paw prints on our lives and our souls, which are as unique as fingerprints in every way." Tenpawsmama
