Walking dogs in February requires a different strategy than walking in fall or early winter. Dark evenings, icy sidewalks, and cold winds make gear choices essential for safety and comfort. With the right setup, winter walks remain both enjoyable and stress-free for dogs and pet parents. Visibility is non-negotiable. Short daylight hours mean most walks happen in low light, so reflective harnesses, LED collars, and bright leashes help drivers and cyclists spot you. A reflective jacket for the dog adds another layer of safety. Cats walking on harnesses should also use reflective gear in winter. Dress for warmth when needed....

February is often the driest month of the year, making skin issues more common in pets. Dry heat, cold air, and winter grooming routines can lead to dandruff, itchiness, or irritation. Monitoring skin condition helps prevent discomfort and keeps your pet’s coat healthy through late winter. Check for subtle signs. Flakes along the back, rough patches behind ears, or excessive scratching indicate dryness. Dogs may rub on furniture, while cats over-groom itchy areas. Even horses and goats develop flaky winter coats if humidity drops too low or grooming becomes inconsistent. Evaluate your home environment. Furnaces dry the air, reducing skin...

Chewing is more than a treat—it’s a natural behavior that helps clean teeth, reduce stress, and provide mental stimulation. Selecting the right chews for your pet prevents dental issues and keeps them engaged during long winter days. With so many options, choosing safe, species-appropriate chews matters more than ever. Start with dogs. Power chewers may need durable rubber toys or long-lasting natural chews, while gentle chewers do best with softer, edible options. Dental chews designed to reduce plaque can support dogs who dislike brushing. Avoid items that splinter, break into sharp pieces, or are too hard for their teeth. Cats...

Cats may not show it, but winter affects them more than we think. Less sunlight, colder surfaces, and dryer air can influence their mood, hydration, and daily activity patterns. Creating a winter-friendly environment helps your feline stay comfortable and stimulated until spring returns. Start with warmth. Move beds away from drafty windows and add fleece blankets to favorite sleeping spots. Cats love elevated perches that catch sunlight, and placing a tower near a bright window can improve their whole day. Senior cats especially appreciate heated mats that soothe their joints. Hydration is crucial. Cats naturally drink less than dogs, and...

Winter can be rough on paws—both for indoor pets who go outside briefly and for animals who spend more time in the cold. Ice, road salt, frozen sidewalks, and dry indoor heat all contribute to cracked pads and irritation. Understanding how to prevent and soothe winter paw issues keeps your animal family comfortable throughout February. Start with protection before going outdoors. Applying a thin layer of paw balm acts as a barrier against salt and ice. For dogs who tolerate footwear, booties offer even stronger protection. Cats who step onto cold porches also benefit from a light layer of balm,...

Groundhog Day is all about predicting how much winter is left—but your pet may already be telling you how they feel about the season. Dogs, cats, and even backyard animals like chickens and goats show clear behavioral changes during the coldest months. Observing these patterns helps you adjust routines to keep everyone comfortable until spring arrives. Many pets sleep more this time of year. Shorter daylight hours naturally encourage longer naps and slower mornings. Cats may curl into smaller spaces for warmth, and dogs often prefer shorter, more frequent walks. Outdoor animals like goats or horses may move less in...

February marks Pet Dental Health Month, making it the perfect time to take a closer look at your pet’s teeth and gums. Dental care is often overlooked, yet it affects far more than breath freshness. Poor oral health contributes to heart, kidney, and digestive issues in dogs and cats, and even small animals like rabbits can suffer from unseen dental discomfort. When you understand what to look for, you can prevent problems long before they start. Start with a simple visual check. Lift your pet’s lips and look for tartar buildup, red gums, or broken teeth. Cats may show discomfort...

As January ends, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on your pet’s winter wellness. Monthly check-ins help you catch subtle changes that might go unnoticed day to day. Whether you care for dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, horses, or backyard chickens, small adjustments made today set the tone for a healthier February. Start with weight. Feel along the ribs, hips, and spine to check for changes. Pets often gain or lose weight in winter depending on activity levels. Dogs walking shorter routes may gain weight, while chickens or goats working harder to stay warm may require more calories. Recording weight monthly...

Crates, carriers, hutches, travel kennels, and barns all feel colder in winter. Whether your pet sleeps in a crate indoors, travels in a carrier, or shelters in an enclosure, comfort and warmth make a huge difference during January’s cold snaps. Adjusting bedding, location, and airflow ensures every species stays safe and relaxed. Start with insulation. Add fleece blankets, thick pads, or insulated crate liners to help retain warmth. Make sure bedding stays dry—moisture quickly amplifies cold discomfort. Cats love enclosed carriers lined with soft blankets, while rabbits need deep hay layers to stay warm. Horses, goats, and chickens also benefit...

As a dedicated pet parent, you want nothing but the best for your furry friend, especially when it comes to their nutrition. We understand that choosing the right food for your pup can be a daunting task, given the countless brands and types of dog food available in the market. That's why we at The Hungry Puppy are here to help you make an informed decision. Today, we are shining the spotlight on one of the most popular and nutritious pet food brands available in our store—Wellness CORE. Wellness CORE is a family of natural pet foods, treats, and toppers...

The end of January is the perfect moment to refresh your pet’s toy collection. After a month of indoor play, cold-weather boredom, and extra enrichment, toys get worn out quickly. Rotating, washing, and sorting toys keeps pets mentally stimulated and ensures their environment stays safe and clean. A little organization now makes February feel new again for your furry, feathered, or four-hooved family members. Begin with a simple assessment. Pull out every toy from baskets, crates, barns, hutches, and hiding spots. Look for loose threads, cracked rubber, missing squeakers, or worn stuffing. Cats’ toys may have frayed edges, and dogs’...

January is an ideal month to recommit to your pet’s dental health. With holiday treats behind us and more indoor time ahead, pets settle into routines that support daily brushing and chew-based cleaning. Dental care isn’t just cosmetic—poor oral health affects heart, kidney, and immune health across species. Start with a simple inspection. Lift your dog’s or cat’s lips and check gum color, breath, and tartar levels. Rabbits and guinea pigs require visual checks for overgrown teeth, while horses benefit from routine float evaluations by an equine dentist. Catching changes early prevents discomfort later. Establish a brushing routine. Use pet-safe...

Winter is hard on sensitive skin—especially noses and paws. Cold air, rough salt, dry heat, and icy surfaces all contribute to chapping, cracking, and irritation. Dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and even horses benefit from a little skin protection during January’s harshest conditions. Start with hydration. Skin health begins internally, so ensure pets drink enough water. Heated buckets for livestock and fresh indoor water for pets support nose and paw moisture. Adding warm water to meals helps boost hydration for picky drinkers. Use protective balms. Apply pet-safe paw balm before walks to create a barrier from salt and ice. Smooth a...

Feeding your pet a bland diet can be a necessary step in times of digestive upset or when transitioning to a new food. One of the standout brands that cater to this need is KOHA, renowned for its premium, grain-free, limited ingredient diet (LID), and minimal ingredient (M.I.) pet food formulas. In this blog post, we will focus on the KOHA Bland Diet, covering portion sizes and feeding guidelines. Understanding the KOHA Bland Diet KOHA offers a range of Limited Ingredient Bland Diet dog food, designed to be gentle on your pet's stomach while providing them with the nutrition they...

A dog’s winter coat works hard through cold weather. Snow, salt, indoor heating, and dampness all affect coat condition. Caring for the winter coat helps your dog stay warm, healthy, and comfortable. Even outdoor animals like horses and goats experience coat changes that require attention during the coldest months. Start with regular brushing. Snow and ice cling to fur, especially in feathered legs and long-haired breeds. Brushing removes tangles, prevents matting, and distributes natural oils. For dogs with double coats, use an undercoat rake to keep shedding manageable. Horses also benefit from daily brushing beneath blankets to prevent sweat buildup...

Winter storms can rattle even the calmest animals. Heavy winds, loud ice pellets, flickering lights, and sudden temperature drops affect pets across all species—dogs, cats, small animals, horses, goats, and backyard flocks. With the right preparation, you can help every member of your animal family feel safe during the harshest winter weather. Start with indoor pets. Create a cozy, quiet space away from windows and doors. Add blankets, a favorite bed, and a long-lasting chew. Cats benefit from covered beds or hiding spots that buffer noise. Rabbits and guinea pigs need insulated enclosures and plenty of hay for warmth and...

Cats rely heavily on vertical territory to feel secure, stimulated, and satisfied. During winter, when windows stay closed and daylight is limited, indoor territory becomes even more important. Creating elevated spaces enriches your cat’s environment and reduces winter boredom. With thoughtful updates, your home becomes a feline playground. Start with window perches. Cats love observing birds, squirrels, and falling snow from above. A secure perch near a bright window can transform your cat’s day. Add a soft blanket to attract them, especially on cold mornings when sunlight is scarce. Incorporate shelves and climbing paths. Wall-mounted platforms, staggered bookshelves, or modular...

I'd like to share my own experience with KOHA pet food, and how it made a significant difference in my dog's digestive health....

Many people assume parasites disappear once the temperature drops, but winter doesn’t eliminate risks. Fleas thrive in heated homes, and certain tick species remain active even when the ground is cold. Pets who spend time outdoors can easily reintroduce these pests indoors, and livestock experience similar challenges in barns and sheds. Start with fleas. Heated homes create an ideal environment for flea eggs to hatch, and they can survive in bedding, carpets, and furniture. Indoor cats, dogs, and even rabbits remain vulnerable if prevention is skipped. Seeing fewer bugs outside doesn't mean they’ve vanished—they’ve just moved closer to warmth. Ticks...

For over three decades, The Hungry Puppy has been a trusted source for quality pet supplies, serving our local community and beyond. We take pride in offering our customers a wide range of products, including the highly acclaimed KOHA pet food line. In this blog post, we're going to shine a light on why many veterinary professionals trust and recommend KOHA's Bland Diet line for cats and dogs. Why Vets Love KOHA Bland Diet KOHA's Bland Diet range is a vet-favorite for several reasons. Firstly, these formulas are grain-free, which is crucial for pets with grain sensitivities or allergies. Second,...

Nose work is one of the easiest and most rewarding activities to do with pets in the winter. Whether you share your home with a curious dog, a clever cat, or even treat-motivated rabbits, sniff games tap into natural instincts and burn mental energy. When the outdoors is icy or your schedule is tight, indoor scent work becomes a lifesaver. Start with simple “treat hunts.” Scatter a handful of kibble or small treats in a single room and let your pet search freely. Keep the area safe and clutter-free so the game stays fun, not overwhelming. Even barn cats enjoy...

# From Chronic Diarrhea to Healthy Stools: A KOHA Bland Diet Success Story As a pet parent, the health of your furry friend is of utmost importance. Digestive issues like chronic diarrhea can be a major concern, often leaving you feeling helpless. However, the right diet can make all the difference. Today, we're sharing a success story about KOHA pet food's Bland Diet and how it transformed a pet's life from chronic diarrhea to healthy stools. Understanding Chronic Diarrhea in Pets Chronic diarrhea in pets can be caused by a variety of factors, including food sensitivities, intestinal parasites, and stress....

Chewing isn’t just a pastime—it’s a natural behavior that relieves boredom, reduces anxiety, and supports dental health. Winter, with its limited outdoor time, increases the need for safe, satisfying chew options. Selecting the right chew depends on species, size, chewing style, and dietary needs. Start with understanding your pet’s chewing behavior. Power chewers need durable rubber or nylon-based chews, while gentle nibblers prefer softer treats. Cats enjoy silvervine sticks or dental chews. Rabbits, guinea pigs, and small animals thrive with hay cubes and wood chews. Chickens even enjoy pecking blocks during indoor confinement or snowy days. Consider safety and digestibility....

My Cat Finally Stopped Vomiting: A KOHA Bland Diet Journey Does your feline friend suffer from frequent bouts of vomiting? As a devoted pet parent, it's heart-wrenching to watch your purring companion struggle with digestive issues. After trying countless remedies, I found a solution in KOHA’s Limited Ingredient Bland Diet cat food. Today, I'll share this transformative journey and how KOHA's pet food helped my cat overcome her vomiting issues. Understanding the Root Cause Often, vomiting in cats can be linked to food sensitivities and intolerances. A change in diet, specifically to a bland or limited ingredient diet, can often...

Winter changes how fast your pet’s nails grow. With fewer walks on rough surfaces, nails wear down less naturally, causing faster growth. Long nails affect posture, gait, and comfort across all species—from dogs and cats to rabbits, chickens, and even goats. January is the perfect time to refresh nail-care routines. Start by understanding winter nail growth. Dogs who walk mostly on snow, salt, or indoor flooring don’t get the natural abrasion they receive during warm months. Cats scratch less if their favorite posts are near cold windows. Goats and sheep kept in barns have softer ground underfoot, meaning hooves require...

As a pet owner, you want the best for your four-legged family. That includes providing them with a diet that not only tastes great but also meets their specific nutritional needs. If your pet has a sensitive stomach or food allergies, a bland diet may be the best option for them. In this blog post, we'll explore KOHA's bland diet offerings and see how they compare to other bland diet brands. KOHA's Approach to Bland Diets KOHA Pet Food has made a name for itself by providing premium, grain-free, limited ingredient diets (LID), and minimal ingredient (M.I.) formulas for cats...

With windows closed and heaters running, winter homes trap odors, dust, and stale air quickly. Pets are especially sensitive to poor ventilation because they spend more time indoors during cold months—including livestock brought into barns or coops for shelter. Fresh air improves respiratory health, mood, and comfort across species. Start with micro-ventilation. Instead of fully opening windows, crack them for 5–10 minutes during midday when temperatures peak. This quick air exchange removes stale air without dramatically cooling your home. Many pets become more relaxed when airflow improves. Use mechanical ventilation wisely. Bathroom fans, kitchen vents, and air purifiers help circulate...

Why Choose KOHA Bland Diet Over Homemade Bland Food? Pet parents know that at times, their furry family members may need a bland diet due to a variety of health issues or for sensitive stomachs. Preparing a homemade bland diet can be challenging and time-consuming. However, The Hungry Puppy offers an excellent solution: KOHA's Limited Ingredient Bland Diet pet foods. This premium pet food line provides high-quality, grain-free, limited ingredient diets (LID) and minimal ingredient (M.I.) formulas for dogs and cats. Why Choose KOHA Bland Diet? KOHA's Limited Ingredient Bland Diet products are specially formulated for pets with food sensitivities,...

Winter means more time indoors, and multi-pet households often experience increased tension during these colder months. With less outdoor activity and more shared indoor space, dogs, cats, rabbits, and even indoor chickens can clash if routines aren’t balanced. Harmony is possible when you structure spaces and activities intentionally. Start with designated zones. Create warm resting spaces for each species or pet type—dogs near family areas, cats on elevated perches, rabbits in warm corners, and birds or small animals in quiet rooms. Territorial issues decrease when each pet has a cozy claim of their own. Even goats and barn cats benefit...

We often think about hot cars in summer, but cold vehicles pose just as many risks in winter. Temperatures inside cars drop rapidly, even during short errands, and pets can become chilled faster than expected. Understanding cold car safety keeps your animals protected whether you're running local errands, transporting pets to the vet, or moving livestock between barns. Begin with temperature awareness. Cars cool down to outdoor temperatures within minutes, and wind chill accelerates heat loss. Small dogs, short-haired breeds, senior pets, and cats lose body heat quickly. Even barn cats riding along for a vet trip can feel chilled...

Winter brings noticeable shifts in pet behavior, and many owners assume it’s random when it’s actually seasonal. Less daylight, cold surfaces, increased sleep, and decreased outdoor time all influence how pets act. Understanding these shifts prevents unnecessary worry and helps you support your pet through natural winter rhythms. Start with sleep cycles. Darkness encourages longer naps, especially in cats, who may sleep 16+ hours during winter stretches. Dogs also adjust their wakefulness to match human routines, often becoming calmer in the evenings. Livestock—like goats or barn cats—also take longer rest periods when temperatures dip. Watch appetite changes. Some pets eat...

The Definitive Guide to Limited Ingredient Diet Pet Food: Spotlight on KOHA Your pet's health is largely influenced by the food they consume. Just like in humans, a balanced, nutritious diet can make a vast difference in your pet's overall wellbeing. One type of diet that has gained popularity among pet owners in recent years is the Limited Ingredient Diet (LID). But what exactly is LID pet food? And how can it benefit your furry friend? In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the benefits of LID pet food, focusing specifically on the premium, grain-free offerings from KOHA Pet Food. What...

Winter zoomies are real—and they come with force. Cold weather limits outdoor time, and dogs often release pent-up energy suddenly, racing through hallways like furry missiles. While the enthusiasm is adorable, it can also lead to slips, strained muscles, and broken decor. Fortunately, there are safe, structured ways to help your dog burn energy indoors without chaos. Start with controlled physical play. Hallway fetch with soft toys, gentle tug, or short “hide and seek” sprints can satisfy a dog’s urge to run without overextending their joints. Keep surfaces safe by laying down runners or yoga mats, especially if you have...

KOHA Limited Ingredient Diet: The Perfect Solution for Food-Sensitive Pets Every pet is special, and at The Hungry Puppy, we understand that some of our furry friends have unique dietary needs.

Winter changes how cats use the litter box, often in ways owners don’t expect. Cold rooms, dry air, and reduced household ventilation can influence litter habits. Creating a winter-friendly litter environment prevents discomfort and encourages healthy routines. Small adjustments keep your home cleaner and your cat happier. Start with placement. Avoid drafty laundry rooms, chilly basements, or cold bathrooms. Cats may avoid cold floors or draft-heavy corners altogether. Move litter boxes to warmer, quieter areas where your cat won’t be startled by heaters or loud appliances. Humidity impacts litter performance. Dry winter air increases dust, which irritates paws and noses....

Single Meat Protein Diets: Why KOHA LID Works for Allergies In an era where food allergies and sensitivities are becoming more common among pets, finding the right diet can be a challenge. As a responsible pet parent, you want to ensure that your furry friend is not only nourished but also thriving.

KOHA LID: A Solution for Food Sensitivities KOHA LID cat and dog food products are specially formulated to meet the dietary needs of pets with...

Winter creates grooming challenges across species. Static electricity, flaky skin, and tangled undercoats appear more frequently in dry January air. Regular grooming keeps pets comfortable and supports healthy skin. Even animals like goats, horses, and rabbits benefit from thoughtful winter grooming routines. Start with brushing. Dogs with double coats shed small amounts year-round, and winter undercoat shifts can cause mats if not brushed out. Cats benefit from regular combing to reduce dander and hairballs, especially when furnaces run constantly. Horses need daily brushing under blankets to prevent sweat buildup and skin irritation. Combat static by lightly misting a conditioning spray...

Small winter spaces don’t need to limit training—many of the best behaviors can be taught right in your living room. Dogs and cats love structured engagement, especially when cold weather shrinks outdoor time. Indoor training builds focus, strengthens confidence, and deepens communication. A little indoor practice goes a long way. Start with foundational cues. “Sit,” “down,” “wait,” and “touch” require very little room but build excellent impulse control. These skills help pets handle door greetings, meal times, and winter guests. Cats can learn “target,” “come,” and even simple agility moves using a wand or treat lure. Use furniture wisely. Create...

When it comes to pet nutrition, one size does not fit all. Just like humans, our furry companions can have unique dietary needs and preferences. In fact, many pets thrive on diets that include novel proteins - those less common proteins that are not typically found in standard pet foods. Some pets may require these novel proteins due to food allergies or sensitivities, while others simply enjoy the variety. Today, we'll be exploring some of the novel protein options from KOHA Pet Food, a brand renowned for its premium, grain-free, and limited ingredient formulas. Novel Proteins: A Unique Nutritional Option...

January asks pets to work harder to stay warm, even indoors. Depending on age, coat type, and activity level, some pets may need slight calorie increases, while others may need closer monitoring to prevent winter weight gain. Winter nutrition tweaks help maintain energy, mood, and overall well-being across all species—from indoor cats to backyard flocks and stable companions. Start with activity level. Many pets walk less and nap more in January, which can reduce calorie needs. Conversely, dogs who play in snow may burn more energy during shorter but more intense outings. Cats may become more playful when indoor enrichment...

January is the ideal time to declutter your pet’s belongings and create a cleaner, healthier environment for the year ahead. Pets accumulate worn toys, old leashes, chewed bedding, and outdated supplies faster than people realize. A thoughtful purge improves safety, reduces odors, and brings peace to daily routines. Even farm owners can benefit from evaluating tack, buckets, feeders, and worn tools during winter downtime. Start with toys. Discard damaged plush toys, frayed ropes, or rubber items that show cracking or missing pieces. Rotate surviving toys and introduce “forgotten favorites” from the back of the basket to renew interest. Cats appreciate...

This blog post will delve into why turkey is an ideal option for sensitive dogs and introduce you to the top-notch KOHA dog food products that feature...

Senior dogs and cats feel the cold more intensely as joint stiffness increases and muscle mass naturally decreases. January often marks the toughest month for mobility challenges, especially during morning routines. Older animals need thoughtful warmth, gentle movement, and predictable daily habits to stay comfortable. Even senior farm animals like goats or horses appreciate extra warmth and bedding during the coldest weeks. Start with warmth. Provide cozy bedding in areas free from drafts or cold floors. Senior cats gravitate toward heated mats or sunny window spots, while older dogs appreciate thick orthopedic beds. Horses may require additional blanketing on windy,...

Most people associate allergies with spring, but winter can trigger just as many symptoms for pets. Dry indoor air, dust buildup, woodstove smoke, and early-season molds all contribute to itchy skin and irritated noses. Even outdoor animals like goats and chickens can experience respiratory irritation in poorly ventilated barns. Understanding the signs helps you treat discomfort before it becomes a constant battle. Watch for subtle symptoms. Dogs may lick their paws, shake their heads, or rub their faces on carpet or furniture. Cats may over-groom their bellies or backs, leading to thinning patches of fur. Chickens may sneeze lightly or...

Short days and icy sidewalks make January walks more challenging. Staying visible and balanced keeps both you and your dog safer. Winter walks don’t need to be long—they just need to be thoughtful. With some planning, you can enjoy the crisp air without risking slips or surprises in the dark. Start with visibility. Reflective harnesses, bright leashes, and LED collar lights help drivers and cyclists spot your dog. Reflective gear benefits everyone—dogs, outdoor cats roaming supervised porches, and even goats or horses led between barns at dusk. Low winter sunlight and early darkness make visibility a priority. Plan your routes...

Winter homes are closed homes—windows stay shut, furnace air circulates constantly, and pet odors can creep up faster than usual. Keeping your home smelling clean doesn’t mean masking scents; it means thoughtful upkeep and airflow management. With the right winter habits, your space stays fresh for you, your pets, and your guests. Start with pet bedding. Wash blankets, crate pads, cat caves, and plush toys weekly in January. These absorb odors quickly, especially when pets spend more time indoors. Heated beds can trap scents, so wipe them regularly. Small-animal bedding—rabbit hay, guinea pig fleece liners—needs consistent cleaning too. Litter boxes...

Paw care becomes critical in January as sidewalks freeze and salt piles up. Dogs and outdoor cats often experience dry pads, cracks, or irritation from chemical de-icers. Even farm animals—like goats and chickens—struggle with frozen ground that leads to sore feet or slips. Protecting paws helps prevent discomfort and keeps winter outings safe. Start by understanding the hazards. Salt and chemical de-icers cling to fur and damage skin. Ice can create micro-tears in pads, while frozen gravel bruises sensitive feet. Pets who lick their paws after exposure risk ingesting harmful substances. Recognizing these risks helps you target your winter paw...

Cats can become noticeably quieter or more restless in winter due to reduced sunlight and closed windows. A cozy Sunday is the perfect time to offer activities tailored to feline instincts. These enrichment ideas keep your cat stimulated, confident, and engaged—even when the world outside is chilly and still. Start with vertical exploration. Cats love perches, shelves, and high spaces that give them a comfortable vantage point. Move cat trees near winter sunlight or create a window perch with soft fleece. Even barns cats who stay indoors on icy days appreciate temporary vertical hangouts. Introduce short, intentional play sessions. Wand...

Picky Eater Solutions: How KOHA Pure Shreds Wins Them Over As pet parents, we all know the frustration of dealing with a picky eater.

Winter weekends often mean icy sidewalks and bitter wind, leaving dogs full of energy with fewer safe ways to release it. Cabin fever can lead to barking, pacing, chewing, or restlessness—but the good news is that indoor enrichment doesn’t have to require fancy equipment. With creativity and structure, you can turn your living room into a winter-friendly activity zone. Start with scent work.
