There's one ingredient you need to watch out for.

We lined up a bunch of Trader Joe's dog treats and these are the ones our guinea pup picked over and over again.

After begging my husband for nearly 10 years, he finally agreed it was time we get a dog. Those four little words — “Let’s get a dog” — made me happier than “Will you marry me?” See, I knew we were going to get married; I didn’t know he’d EVER come around to getting a dog. (He’s not a monster, just a realist who worried about our busy schedules.

Only 10 percent (or less, ideally!) of a dog’s total calorie requirements should come from treats or human food. Maybe you know that — but that doesn’t mean Sir Riggins does! And he’s always giving you those sad puppy dog eyes every time you open the fridge. Instead of giving in and tossing him a piece of your waffle, why not give him one of these food-themed dog toys? They’re not exactly the same, but we’re guessing he won’t mind too much.

Dog owners (or anyone who has cared for someone else’s pup for any length of time) will be the first to tell you that daily life with a furry friend isn’t exactly a walk in the park — although there are plenty of those! Being a conscientious animal owner takes a lot of time, work, energy, and research.

Dogs are mankind’s best friend, but the Instant Pot is a close second. And now your best dog bud can enjoy the Instant Pot too, thanks to a new meal kit service that sends you all the things you need to make fresh meals for your dog in your own Instant Pot. Yes, really. It turns out there are a lot of people who are interested in feeding their dogs more healthful, less processed diets, but don’t have the time to do so.

What’s been on your dog-related shopping list lately? Tog toys, treats, maybe a new Kong and a jar of peanut butter? My most recent Amazon purchase for my pups, Cassius Thunderpaws and Truffle, was not a tennis ball or a bag of biscuits. It was a refrigerator. Technically, it’s for me and my sanity, not for them — they don’t care where I keep their food. But the purchase is totally about my pups.

Just when meal planning was the biggest pain on my plate, I made it exponentially more tedious. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t begrudge my happy, healthy doggos a bit, but when we started preparing food for the combined hundred-plus pounds of pups in our house, answering the eternal “What do we make for dinner tonight?” question became double the trouble.
