Hi, I’m Barbara! 👩‍💻

Raw dog food blogger Barbara Rivers

I’m the crazy dog mom who found out about raw dog food back in 2015. 

Ever since, I’ve been documenting my raw dog food journey here on the blog, paired with my second passion of doggie exercise & travel.

The raw dog food part included trial and error in:

  • Figuring out dog allergies
  • Learning how to make my own raw meals to keep them affordable
  • Becoming raw dog food nutrition certified by Dogs Naturally Magazine
Barbara Rivers of K9sOverCoffee.com received the Raw Dog Food Nutrition Specialist Badge from Dogs Naturally Magazine

With that said, my Boxer mixes Missy & Buzz introduced me to raw dog food.

If it wasn’t for them and specifically for Missy’s cancer diagnosis back in 2014, I’m not sure I would have made the switch from kibble to raw. 

As one of my lovely readers recently put it: 

“God bless Missy so much, our teacher, she got this journey rolling, we thank her.”
