Today I have a guest blogger. Izabella and her dad David who live in Southie (South Boston)! David and my mom went to college together and when he heard about my site he emailed us some great information! Below is their email to us with fantastic recommendations of places in the Southie area!

Thank you so much David & Izabella!

Dear Tanner,

There’s the South Boston ‘Bark Park’ that opened this summer –http://www.yelp.com/biz/south- and an amzing dog park off washington street in the South End. Tales of Boston is the service my dad uses to feed or walk me if he cant make it — Heather Gay is the head of that and is on facebook – she’s up for some award for it I think. The PAW-stonian with Bette Yip is a great trainer with facility – individual and group classes out here — she’s helped me a lot training me and my dad. The South Boston Dog Spa is a good groomer and South Boston Pet Hospital is good when in a pinch. My dad takes me to the Boston ARL in south end though for regular vet – they are GREAT! Skiptons on MA ave in Dorchester is best place for holistic food. There’s a few others out here in the South End… forgetting names at moment – but the last two I’ll mention are Doggy Days (aka the petshop girls) which is food, toys, grooming and day care…. and The Polkadog Bakery in the South End is a bakery just for dog food – and great line of collars, leashes, etc –

Let me know what you think!

From,

Izabella & Dave

I mean what should I do while she’s typing away… umm hello!! I have decided to research dog food while she types away. It seems as if everyone is always saying different things about what to feed me and what not to feed me. My mom switched me from Nutro Dog Food to Innova dog food. Its okay but I would much rather have what my mom eats. There are a lot of websites with recipes for dogs but I don’t know which ones are good. I want to have my mom and roommate (well more like my roommate since my mom doesn’t really cook) make me something.

Do any of you have any suggestions or recipes?
