Make no mistake, Kibble is industrial food stuff marketed to dog owners for their convenience. Worse, unless you use a cold press variety ( I must declare an interest, Doghealth does supply HealthyDog a cold press dog food) the manufacturing process destroys much of the goodness and this is compensated for by addition of agricultural style vitamin concentrates. It might be that like me you suffer from a surplus of dandelions in your garden! But really we should welcome the much-maligned dandelion (Taraxacum officianale) both for its health properties as well as one of the first food sources for bees. Here, I want to discuss how we as dog owners can benefit from this common and easy to harvest natural food…and in the process, by using it instead of eliminating it, we will be supporting the natural bee population!
