We're a food-conscious group here in Seattle. We raise chickens in our
backyards so that we have access to fresh eggs and mash up carrots to
make our own baby food. So it makes sense that we would be just as
mindful of the food that we feed to our furry friends

Lulu would wade through a pool of fire-breathing cats for a piece of old, dry kibble, so I had to say "sure" when my new friend offered a treat.

Halloween is going to the dogs -- not to mention the cats, birds, ferrets and even horses. According to the American Pet Products Manufacturing Association, 7.4 million U.S. households plan to dress their pets in costumes this year. And that's not the only way they plan to celebrate. More and more pet parents plan to treat their animal companions with Halloween toys and goodies this month.
