Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:38:44 GMT

It’s no secret that people are particular about their pets. According to the American Pet Products Association, there were 90.5 million pet owners in the U.S. (70% of American households) in 2021. Dogs are the most popular pet by a significant margin, as well. On top of that, in that year, Americans spent a staggering $123.6 billion on their pets — a $20 million increase from 2020 — with food and treats by far being the most expensive investment.A large part of this trend to spend more on dog food comes from a shift toward healthier food options. Pet owners are more educated than ever before, and they’re in search of quality nutritional solutions that can keep their four-legged friends in good health over the course of their lifetime.Some manufacturers have slightly adjusted their formulas or cut out certain ingredients, like food coloring. But for many pet owners, that isn’t enough. They are abandoning traditional formulas in favor of fresh food.A fresh food diet can help dogs with...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:38:44 GMT

A career in jewelry design was not something that Madame Nadine had initially envisioned for herself when she was planning out her life as a young lady.

Despite having a full-time job, this Canadian jewelry designer is making a name for herself with her Victorian-inspired pieces. Her work has been showcased on the red carpet at the 2020 Oscars, in fashion magazines, and on the runways during fashion week, and it has also been included in gifting suites at Cannes, The Golden Globes, and The Emmys.(“Pretty Little Liars” star Shay Mitchell wearing Madame Nadine Jewelry.

Trump lawyer makes court-ordered appearance before grand jury

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:38:44 GMT

By Eric Tucker | Associated PressWASHINGTON — A lawyer for Donald Trump was back in court Friday after being ordered to answer questions before a grand jury investigating the possible mishandling of classified documents at the former president’s Florida estate.M. Evan Corcoran entered federal court in the District of Columbia early Friday morning, one week after a federal judge ruled in favor of the Justice Department in forcing Corcoran to answer additional questions before a grand jury that has been hearing testimony for months.
