Just wanted to let you know that we are so happy with your food. We have been feeding our dog, Dove, Grain-Free Lamb for about a year now and are thrilled with the nutrition, price and quality - and you're a family-owned company. My husband is a race car driver so we travel quite a bit. Dove comes on the road with us so we always make sure to stock up at Ringer's Pet Dog Training before we hit the road. Thanks for making a great product we can trust ...

Why Do Dogs Have Whiskers?

Dogs live their lives low to the ground, and that means their faces are close to everything: grass, backyard creatures, furniture, their human’s legs and feet, the robo-vac. The whiskers that poke out from the dog’s muzzle, the sides of the face, and above the eyes do a lot to help your dog get around their world.

Whiskers are connected to highly sensitive nerve endings, guiding their movements, keeping them from getting bumped or poked, and helping them process their surroundings.
