When my son was born 13 years ago, we had a dog. A dog named Buckley. Buckley was a Brittany Spaniel rescue that I fell in love with upon first seeing him on the rescue website. When I brought my newborn son home, Buckley sat at the bottom of his crib at all times…always on guard.
Buckley was family. Buckley was a true companion to all three of my children through their early childhood. And sadly, at the ripe age of 13, Buckley succumbed to cancer. It was several years before we were ready to even think about another dog. How do you even begin to replace a family member? You can't. But several years later, we were ready to add to the family.
Enter Teddy Connerty a.k.a. Teddy the Hotdog on social media. Teddy is the most enthusiastic, sweetest but sometimes naughty dog I have ever had. He is such a great character that everyone remembers him no matter where he goes.
Taffy came about six months later from a local rescue group. Now we have two long haired dachshunds that have personality for days and the energy to keep up with growing kids. And those two dogs; today they are as much of a part of our family as Buckley. They have become a part of our history and soul. They are seriously treated like kids.
It is for this reason that I truly care about our dogs’ well being. Because they are family, we only want the best for them. If they are sick, we go to the doctor. If they are bored, we play. And when they are hungry….well, I care just as much about what I feed those two dogs as I do my children. That is what you do for family.
Taffy lately has been scratching her skin a lot. This is turn has made her hair fall out on her chest and the area is red because it itches her. We knew that the first thing we needed to do was make certain that we found food with no grain for our babies. Enter Petco Wholehearted.

I love that beef is the first ingredient! A few years ago when I got my dog I started researching pet foods and I was shocked to find out how few of them contain meat in the top 5 ingredients, despite being marketed as a meat-y food. I’d love to try the Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food!
Your pups are so adorable. This food looks great for them made with wholesome ingredients.
I wish we had Petco here in Canada. Wholehearted sounds like a dog food I would like to give my dog.
These pictures are adorable.
Petco has some great products for our pets.
My daughter has two dogs and they have sensitive tummies. I need to share this post with her. I think Ringo and Elvis would love this food!
Those dogs are so cute! I don’t have dogs, just cats. I do think this sounds like a great brand of dog food though. I love to see that it’s grain free.
These two are so adorable. I will have to look into getting this food for my two furbabies.
This looks like a great dog food line. I will have to share this with my friend. She just got a new puppy and is looking for a quality food to give her.
I would love to win a $50 Petco Gift card. This looks like a great food option for my dog. I will have to check it out.
Oh my goodness, they are adorable! I have never heard of this brand of dog food before but it sounds like a great product.
What an adorable dog!! I love that different types of petfood exists to meet each dog needs, sounds like a great product!
Our Greyhound needs high protein, grain-free food. We have a Petco here in town so will be able to buy this food easily. Our Greyhound needs a good healthy food so she can enjoy her retirement for a long time
I think this food will help with James’ allergies and it looks like I can afford it also.,
Looks like really good quality food. Is it a PetCo only brand? I think the nearest one is better than 100 miles from us.
Petco Wholehearted dog food will help me and my dog Clue because it has no grains which makes it easier for her to digest, is full of nutrition and well help her get the Omega 3s that she needs!
