Welcome to Pets Dig This Now — a blog dedicated to helping pet parents make informed, compassionate, and holistic choices for their dogs.

Our Mission

Our goal is to provide reliable, science-supported, and easy-to-understand information about canine health, nutrition, and wellness. We believe every dog deserves the best quality of life, and that starts with knowledge.

What You’ll Find Here

Our Philosophy

We believe in a holistic approach to pet care — one that combines science, compassion, and practicality. While veterinary care is essential, we also emphasize the importance of prevention, proper nutrition, and emotional well-being for dogs.

Why Trust Us?

All of our content is thoroughly researched and cited from reputable sources including veterinary studies, animal nutrition experts, and official pet health organizations. We strive to make complex topics simple and approachable, so you feel confident in the choices you make for your pet.

This blog was started as a passion project. The goal was to provide everyone with the same access to information that was available when I was working locally in store. I wanted everyone who visited me with their questions to still be able to have access to the answers they were seeking.

Why the 80/10/10 Raw Food Ratio Isn’t Always Enough for Dogs — and How We Can Do Better

Why the 80/10/10 Raw Food Ratio Isn’t Always Enough for Dogs — and How We Can Do Better If you’ve been in the raw feeding world for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard of the 80/10/10 model — 80% muscle meat, 10% bone, and 10% organ. It’s simple, easy to remember, and feels close to what a “whole prey” meal might look like. But as more feeders (and even nutritionists) dig deeper, we’re learning that the 80/10/10 ratio might be more of a starting point than a perfect formula. A recent article on RawFeederLife made that point beautifully — and it’s worth exploring why it matters for our dogs’ long-term health. The 80/10/10 Rule Was Inspired by Nature… But It’s Not the Whole Story The idea behind 80/10/10 was to mimic a natural prey animal — a rabbit, bird, or rodent — and what a wild canine would eat if it caught one. The problem? Most of us aren’t feeding entire prey animals. Even if you’re sourcing great ingredients, chances are you’re missing a few thi...

Seed Oils in Dog Food

Seed Oils in Dog Food: Why to Use Them—and Why Not Scan almost any kibble label and you’ll see seed oils —sunflower, flaxseed, canola, soybean, safflower, and more. Are they helpful, harmful, or somewhere in between? The short answer: dogs do need omega-6 (linoleic acid) from fats for skin/coat and cellular health, but problems arise when seed oils dominate the fat profile without enough omega-3s to balance them. Why Seed Oils Are Used in Dog Food Essential fatty acids: Oils like sunflower and safflower provide linoleic acid (omega-6), required for skin, coat, and barrier health. 1 Alternative fat source: For dogs who don’t tolerate certain animal fats, plant oils can be easier to digest. Shelf life: Some seed oils help kibble stay fresh longer compared to animal fats. Cost: Plant oils are often cheaper than fish oil or animal fats, making foods more affordable. Why Some Pet Parents Avoid Seed Oils Omega imbalance: Too much omega-6 and not enough omeg...
