I wholeheartedly dislike grocery shopping but
I try my best to be grateful for the ability to shop as well as the abundance of food purchasing options I have. The ability to purchase absolutely everything on my grocery list with a USDA Organic Certification is definitely one thing I am very thankful for. I am proud when cooking entirely organic dishes or serving all organic meals. It delights me to provide my pets with organic food too. Fortunately, I recently learned I can purchase organic dog food and organic cat food at the same stores where I buy organic human food. Convenience is exactly what someone who doesn't like to waste time shopping needs. I am always glad to get the shopping over with quickly and move on to more outstanding pet-friendly adventures.
Shopping gets done faster with a list and a complete grocery list is especially important during the holidays when I purchase grocery items I don't regularly buy. Just one whirl around my near-by Whole Foods Market yesterday, and I got everything on my list including organic food and treats for the dogs and cat. The store's commitment to selling healthy human food extends to offering high quality canine nutrition and superior foods for cats as well. It had never before occurred to me that I could do my pet food shopping at the same time as I shopped for groceries. Here I am, the queen of shop-as-fast-as-possible, and I have been running an extra errand all these years.
Speedy shopping doesn't mean I sacrifice quality, though. I always take the time to make sure I the fresh fruits and vegetables I put in the cart are organic and as close to local as possible. I turn over every can, box and carton to check the ingredients not just for human food but for the pet's food too. I took my time in the pet food aisle at Whole Foods yesterday, and I picked some wonderful Castor & Pollux Organix food and treats for Wilhelm, Brychwyn, Huxley and Amelia. The USDA and Oregon Tilth certified organic ingredients list on each Organix bag and can plus the fact that the products are made with love in the US made are exactly the things I look for when reading labels in the store. The number one ingredient in Organix Dog Food is organic, free-range chicken and the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber come from natural sources like organic brown rice and fresh organic fruit and vegetable purées. I was truly grateful for this organic pet food bounty.
The best part of this shopping trip was that the dogs were also thankful for the Organix food that I purchased. Wilhelm enjoyed the smell of the grocery bag while it was still in the cart. Brychwyn was a little worried that Wilhelm would get into trouble for sniffing a little more closely once the bag was in the car. Instead, I laughed and let Wilhelm pick which bag of treats we opened right there in the parking lot. He chose the Jerky Chip Oatmeal and Salmon Cookies although I am willing to guess he, as well as Brychwyn and Huxley, are thankful for all of the Organix purchases I made. I know I am. I so appreciate any amount of food I am lucky enough to purchase and eat.

If it gets to be food that is organic, healthier for me and the pets and better for the environment, then I have even more to be thankful for. And if I can get all the shopping done quickly and move on to more enjoyable adventures with my pets, my gratitude overflows.

Looks like a bag full of yummy goodness. No wonder why the dogs were extra curious and their curiosity paid off with a special Organic Treat.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have encouraged grocery bag rummaging but it was just too cute! Plus, there was all that other organic goodness in there- kale, carrots, broccoli (which I am pretty sure Brychwyn nibbled,) pears, etc- all of it healthy and yummy for the pups! Too bad I can't share their Organix treats...

We sure wish we had a Whole Foods near us - I cloet one we have is in Memphis and it has to be the smallest whole foods stores we have ever seen. That sure sounds like a great food - with out food allergies it makes it hard to try new things but that would be an awesome prize to donate to our local humane society

I try to shop organic where I can, but we don't have a Whole Foods Market anywhere close to us. I've been wanting to try Castor & Pollux, but it isn't available locally.

I've had the ORGANIX Jerky Chip Cookies but never the food. It is great to be able to shop for such a wholesome product for your pets. I am sure they are thankful for the bountiful food selection.

Honey would be pleased to win anything. But I'd love to win the Adult Dog Food.

I also appreciate that the protein is lower on the food chain. Raising chickens stresses the environment a little less than raising beef.

Our non profit could sure use all of this since we rely on donations to feed the pets of our low income families.There's always a need for grain free especially for dogs.
