BULLYSTICK / TREAT REVIEW - OPEN RANGE BULLY SPRING


5/5 

nom nom nom 

2 minutes before this.

I have purchased a couple open range products in the past and had loved them. So it wasn't long until I got this bully "spring" in which I felt that it was easier to chew for leo (not necessarily a good thing if I want him to use it as a dental stick) but nevertheless he likes it as well.

This one is made of muscle, so I wouldn't really consider it an authentic bully stick but works about the same way. Is not as smelly as Bully sticks.

I like it and would purchase it again.

PET FOOD REVIEW - PRIMAL FREEZE DRIED FORMULA (CHICKEN)


me: 5/5  Leo: 5/5
After me dicing it up and putting some water with it. Looked a little like canned food.


As mentioned before, I love freeze dried stuff. This food just looked and smelled really good. It was quite light but substantial. Leo had it for dinner one night and he devoured it. Looking at the ingredients, I thought that it was definitely a top notch choice.

I'm also a sucker for gorgeous packaging.

Because it is got an impressive ingredient list, it is quite a pricey food. However, I do trust and believe it is a fantastic product. So if your budget allows, I would recommend this food. They also have food for cats as well.

PET FOOD REVIEW (PETCUREAN DOG) GO! FIT AND FREE (CHICKEN TURKEY + TROUT) ADULT FOOD


Leo: 4/5 Me:4/5

After accidentally feeding him puppy food, we thought that the results were surprisingly not bad despite it was pretty high in fat and protein. So I decided to try the adult version with the same main meats. There are many meats at the front of the ingredient list, which I'm happy about. 

Leo has always enjoyed Petcurean food despite his potato sensitivity (he gets yeasty/ shakes head a lot). This one has a significant lower percentage of potatoes than the Now! line which I stay away from now. He maintained his healthy weight on this kibble and it smelled pretty amazing. 

Personally, I am still questioning the importance of grain free, as I feed my dog oatmeal occasionally and it just.. works with his body. But it's good to know the option to go grain free is out there. 

I would recommend this food if your dog does not have potato problems.

Healthy gums and overall good dental health promotes

  • Good resistance to oral infections
  • Less plaque build up

What this product does is give him AMAZING breath. Truly a good breath refresher after those delicious salmon treats. 

I like to read through ingredient lists and found this one to be full of natural and herbal stuff, which I love. And did I mention it smells amazing? (I did. :P)

TREAT REVIEW - SALMON SKIN CHIPS BY NOAH'S ARK PET TREATS

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ahI1H7la2wE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


5/5

The woman who either baked them / works for the company is inCREDIBLY friendly and approachable. I had such a good time talking to her. She also loved Leo. This is 100% salmon skin. which is the only ingredient, which I like. Leo ADORES this (as you can see in the video)

They look and smell really phenomenal. Crispy goodness.

Here is more information and where you can buy this   I personally got my sample from Korna Pet.

It's a relatively local company from where I live. And I'm very happy with it. Would recommend.

I would try dehydrating salmon skin myself, but it would never turn out this crispy.

SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - SPARK by Pet Wellbeing

Has it been another week already? Time is flying by these days! 

I just wanted to update on SPARK and let you know that Leo is still doing very well on it! 


Now that we have run out of yougurt for now, I have simply been mixing this all in one supplement with a little water and then putting his breakfast into the water! One thing about adding water to kibble though - Please read the ingredients and watch out for citric acid - If there is citric acid, there is a high chance of BLOAT for especially large dogs if you add water to it. Bloat is a painful condition in which dogs will need to go to the emergency since their stomachs can twist. 

Leo still loves this, and his poop and fur all look really nice. He has lots of energy and can take super long walks with me. He also sleeps very well. 

Here are just some of the benefits of SPARK 

  • Healthy bones, teeth and coat
  • Good digestion and nutrient absorption
  • Joint and muscle health
  • Immune system and normal recovery
  • Healthy hormone levels
  • Fighting free radical damage (anti-oxidant)
  • Important vitamins & minerals for growth, aging and normal cell repair

PET FOOD REVIEW (PETCUREAN) NOW FRESH! GRAIN FREE SMALL BREED FOOD





Okay perhaps this is for a 4 pound dog because my 9 pound dog does not chew on these because they are so tiny. They smelled really good though.



My review 3/5/ Leo's review, 4/5
 
Aside from potatoes, I love all the ingredients in this food - omega 3 and 6, coconut oil, etc.

While I've heard other dogs do super well on this formula, mine was not the best.
NOW FRESH is Petcurean's "fresher" line. When I was trying this out I noticed that Leo was shaking his head a lot (1 sign of yeast overgrowth) and he was also smelling like yeast. Then I noticed that this line is heavy in potatoes. However, this could also be from other reasons but this is the biggest suspect as of now. I switched him to a less potato-y food and he's definitely shaking his head less.

Although it is suitable for more older dogs, I felt that their GO! line is still an superior product. And look at the kibble! He was swallowing them whole. I wish it was the same design just twice as big.
Even for a chihuahua, I felt that the kibbles were a little bit too tiny.

Overall, I trust Petcurean as a company and they have a fantastic company that always donates food to shelters.

Here's where you can see more details of this food 

and my Amazon link to purchase it. (I recommend GO! more though!)

SUPPLEMENT SUNDAY - HEALTHY GUMS FROM PET WELLBEING REVIEW


4.5/5

Wow! This is quickly becoming one of my most viewed series! I'm so glad you all enjoy my reviews of supplements! 

This week, I'm going to reviewing Healthy Gums by Pet Well-being. Gums, the red part on top of your teeth, essentially your teeth's clothes, are an extremely important part of your body. Did you know that having bad gums causes plaque that can cause obstructions in the arteries, and dogs and humans can die from heart attacks and aneurysms  from it? Not many people pay attention to their dog's teeth but they really, really should. Plaque is common and it needs attention because it's terrible for the overall being. 

 Out of the 3 supplements I have reviewed so far, this is one you might need to ease your pet into it. Leo does enjoy the flavor, it's just that it's always hard to force a dog to show his gums when he' not pissed at you. (Not that Leo's ever showed his gums to me) 

The smell is super pleasant, it smells like oranges and mint. When we visited the vet, she said his gums are okay for now but if it gets worse (he has a small amount of plaque), we might need to give him a dental cleaning. This product will help aid in keeping his gums healthy.
