Monterey Bay Labrador Retriever Rescue advocates feeding grain free kibble or raw food to your dogs.  Grain can be a source of allergies and is not something dogs need.  For treats, we recommend you choose wheat-free, corn-free, soy-free treats.  There are many of these available from our local pet food stores. 

Raw food contains none of the chemicals and preservatives found in packaged food and dogs thrive on it.  It is readily available, already packaged and frozen, and easy to use.   You can find both of these locally at: The Raw Connection – Carmel Rancho Blvd, Carmel Pet Food Express – Rio Road, Carmel “Lab friendly” hotels in Carmel or Carmel Valley (EVERY lab should have a vacation in Carmel): Carmel Country Inn, Carmel Garden Court Inn, Carmel Mission Inn, Carmel River Inn, Casa de Carmel, Coachman’s Inn, Country Garden Inn, Cypress Inn, Hofsas House, Lamp Lighter Inn, Lincoln Green Inn, The Lodge at Pebble Beach, Los Laureles Lodge, Sunset House, Svendsgaard’s Inn, Tradewinds Carmel, Vagabond’s House Inn. And don’t forget our local doggie boutique: Diggidy Dog (on Mission, just down from Ocean Ave), Carmel “I have nothing but respect for this organization and the incredible effort the volunteers put in.” “My dog was placed in a wonderful foster home in the interim - again, all volunteer.”

“These folks give their personal time to save these lab's lives; they have jobs, families and other commitments yet make this rescue work.” Thank you to everyone who came out to the 9th Annual WC Weekend and made it a great success.
