The Care And Feeding Of Your New Cocker Spaniel
Cocker spaniels are a very popular breed of dog for several great reasons. First, they’re loving and loyal pets to have and to share your home with.

Also, they don’t bark a lot so they’re not going to annoy the neighbors if you’re out of the home for the evening. These are reasons that cocker spaniels make [...]

Why Does My Dog Eat Grass?
I have had a couple people ask me if they should be “worried about their dog eating grass?” Well, if you are a person who treats your yard with chemicals, it can make your dog very sick, or even be fatal.

It is the most food based holiday of the year, and dogs enjoy the revelry at least as much as humans, with bits of this and that dropping on the floor, and all the great smells floating around the house.

Roxy the Pomeranian
Welcome back to Greenfield Puppies Dog Blog. Normally I would be talking about something informative in my post, but yesterday I experienced something that touched my heart. I was out on my normal 12-1 lunch break and on my way back from picking up my McDonald’s Grilled Chicken salad when I was forced to slam on my breaks in the middle of one of the most busy streets in Lancaster, PA. The reason for this was because a tiny ball of [...]
