"Outdoors man" Huxley on an adventure at Myrtle Reservoir Park, the highest peak in Seattle.
Typist: Bethany
As cold, wet weather slowly returns to Cascadia, more and more people and pets spend time in the warm, dry indoors. Leo, Amelia, Wilhelm and even Brychwyn have been avoiding too much time outdoors. However, the change in seasons has not deterred our outdoors man, Huxley, from lounging outside as many hours a day as he can. I also like to be outside as much as possible in order to keep my spirits lifted as the days grow darker but I don't have any clothes that protect me from the elements like the thick coat of a collie. Still, as I make every nutritional effort to keep my immune system strong during the colder months, I do the same for my furry dog. Despite Huxley's protective layers of fur, the weather often does more to him than it does to the rest of the Cascadian Nomads. Perhaps it is that he spends more time outdoors than the rest of us.

The season change means Huxley will get wetter and colder so I was a little nervous about switching his food. But the quality ingredients on the Pinnacle® label reassured me. Duck is the fist ingredient of the Grain Free Duck and Sweet Potato Recipe Pinnacle dog food that I switched Huxley to. Other quality ingredients like quinoa, sweet potato, pumpkin, sea kelp and cottage cheese meant I was giving my dog the total nutrition needed for holistic health through a safe, limited ingredient diet (LID.) Pinnacle also makes it clear their pet foods are "made in our California plant." The antioxidants to support healthy immune system, fiber to encourage healthy digestion and small stool and high quality meat recipes that promote general joint health and overall muscle tone in Pinnacle are just what an active dog spending lots of time outdoors needs, especially with the changing season. When trying to get as much time outside between autumn storms, it is especially important that I not upset Huxley's sensitive stomach.
So how did the Pinnacle switch go? With as finicky as I am about feeding natural, healthy, grain free dog food, the switch went exactly as I expected. I was pleased that I noticed very little change in Huxley's health. Despite Huxley's sensitive stomach, he had no digestive problems. Huxley's fur has remains thick, soft and water repellent. My collie can be a picky eater so I am pleased that he doesn't hesitate to dig in to a Pinnacle Grain Free Duck and Sweet Potato Recipe meal. The kibble is small and slows his eating. I love seeing him savor every little bite!

So as the season change effects the amount of time all of the Cascadian Nomads except Huxley spend outdoors, I am very pleased to have witnessed a dog food change that means I worry less about him laying in the rain and sniffing the chilly wind. Huxley’s health is supported naturally and holistically by his healthy meals. Now I just need to find such a nutritious rotational diet to keep myself healthy through the cold, wet months!
How do you and your pets stay healthy as the weather gets cold and wet?
