18 June 2015

Today thanks to Chewy.com - the best and most well known online pet food, treats and goodies store I am reviewing Wellness TruFood CocoChia Bakes with Lamb, Purple Carrots & Coconut Oil Grain-Free Dog Treats. This is the first time that "I" the Denny dog have done a review all by myself. (Mom says it is because Reilly still can't have crunchy cookies yet)

Here's the Basics

  • Wellness believes in giving pets a colorful palette of the best nutrition possible, so they made TruFood with whole foods from farm, field and sea. TruFood has more of what pets need to be vibrant and happy - that's how love becomes Wellness. When you treat with chia seeds and whole-prey protein, your dog gets more than just a tasty reward. These slow-baked TruFood CocoChia Bakes combine whole-prey protein with antioxidant-rich superfoods, probiotics, coconut oil and of course chia seeds to deliver a nutritious treat

    Key Benefits

    • 100% natural dog treats
    • A naturally grain-free snack
    • Slow-baked for more raw protein
    • Naturally colored by superfoods
    • No artificial flavors, colors or preservatives
    You can't have these Reilly!
    Sniff sniff - they smell a bit odd










       

      Ingredients

      • Chickpeas, Peas, Tapioca, Lamb, Dried Purple Carrots, Flaxseed, Coconut Oil, Chia Seeds, Turkey Liver, Turkey Hearts, Chicken Fat, Natural Flavor, Mixed Tocopherols added to preserve freshness, Dried Enterococcus thermophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus bulgaricus Fermentation Product, Rosemary Extract, Green Tea Extract, Spearmint Extract (this is a naturally preserved product)

      Taste Test
      NO MOM - I don't like the smell of these!

      • In all fairness I will admit that "I" the Denny dog am not fond of hard cookies - I will sometimes eat them but not very often and these are very hard cookies. Mom offered me one and I sniffed it and wouldn't take it. She then broke it up into pieces and I turned away when she offered it me. Now I can be pretty stubborn about trying new things so Mom even popped a little in my mouth and I promptly SPAT it out. No - no way did I like the smell or flavor of these cookies and I was NOT going to eat one.

      Negatives - Kind of - Sort of - Maybe - Not Really

      • These are nice small square cookies which would be a great training treat if you like them
      • For me - I just didn't like the smell of them or the flavor
      • Mom crumbled one up for Reilly today and he gobble it down but there is not much Reilly won't eat :) 

      Rating
      • Sadly I have to give these a no paws ratings cause I just didn't like them all.

      Today thanks to Chewy.com - the best and most well known online pet food, treats and goodies store we are reviewing Solid Gold Hund-n-Flocken Lamb, Brown Rice & Barley Recipe Canned Dog Food. As many of you know I recently had 4 teeth removed and needed to be on soft food for a week while my gums healed. Chewy.com was wonderful and sent me 12 cans of this wonderful food to get me through it.

      Here's the Basics
      • The first dog food Solid Gold ever crafted has a special place in the hearts of Solid Gold fans and so does the wet dog food variety of this formula! The holistic and natural ingredients (and the funny-sounding name) were inspired by Solid Gold founder Sissy McGill. Your dog will feast on tender, delicious lamb. Every bowl is a well-balanced meal packed with high-density protein and whole grain brown rice

      Nice and chunky
      Me and my puffy nose :)














      Key Benefits
      • Perfect to pair with Hund-n-Flocken dry dog food or to be fed as a standalone diet
      • Nutritionally complete and balanced meal
      • Holistic food for adult dogs of all sizes
      • No corn, wheat or soy which are common allergens for dogs
      • No fillers, by-products, artificial coloring, flavoring or preservatives
      • Made in the US

      Taste Test
      • Now I must admit I TOTALLY loved this food and licked the bowl clean over and over again (until I drove Mom crazy and she picked it up to wash it) It is a nice solid food and had carrots in it which even I ate and I am known for not eating veggies!
      Mom said I could I have 1 piece -  I went for the big one!
      This is cruel - let me at it :)



      Ingredients
      • Lamb, Water Sufficient for Processing, Lamb Liver, Brown Rice, Carrots, Barley, Guar Gum, Potassium Chloride, Dicalcium Phosphate, Oatmeal, Alfalfa Meal, Flaxseed Meal, Olive Oil, Salt, Carrageenan, Cassia, Choline Chloride, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Copper Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Manganese Sulfate, Niacin Supplement, Calcium Panthothenate, Biotin Supplement, Folic Acid, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Calcium Iodate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin D3 Supplement

      Negatives - Kind of - Sort of - Maybe - Not Really
      • Now Mom was a bit worried about giving me canned food as it not something I have ever had before and she remembers how many of the 'old' types of canned dogs food had a laxative affect on doggies. She was very happy to find this was NOT the case with this food and she loved that it was solid and chunky and could be cut into cubes for me. Denny also got to try a little of this in his food and he too totally loved it!

      Rating
      • I am definitely giving this food a high 4 paws as it is totally delicious and I was able to eat it with no problems. We would highly recommend this for older dogs who have lost some teeth and may be having trouble with harder types of foods.

        Review of Sojos Wild™
        Ms Kira from Sojos asked if we would be interested in reviewing their new line of exotic protein dog food called Sojos Wild™  that they have recently released - well of coarse we said YES. And best of all - one lucky buddy will also get to try it free too. Details on the giveaway are at the bottom of the post.

        Here Are The Basics
        Sojos Wild™  is a new line of  fresh, forager food made lean and healthy. It contains different wild game (venison and boar) and fish combined with a forager’s blend of human-grade veggies and fruits it makes for a food that is delicious and well balanced.

        Free-Range Venison - 43% Protein Venison, Whole Egg, Cranberries, Celery Root, Green Peas, Purple Sweet Potatoes, Flax Seeds, Parsnip, Green Beans, Almond Bran, Coconut, Tricalcium Phosphate, Dried Kelp, Chard, Dried Alfalfa, Ginger Root, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate

        Wild Boar Recipe - 38% Protein Wild Boar, Whole Egg, Cranberries, Celery Root, Green Peas, Purple Sweet Potatoes, Flax Seeds, Parsnip, Green Beans, Almond Bran, Coconut, Tricalcium Phosphate, Dried Kelp, Chard, Dried Alfalfa, Ginger Root, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate

        Key Benefits
        Sojos Wild™  is made field-fresh in Minnesota with no grains or glutens, no genetically engineered ingredients, no added sugar or salt—nothing but natural goodness. Just add water, soak, and serve a forager’s banquet of raw meat, veggies and fruit.

        Taste Test
        Well needless to say we LOVED it. Sojos is such an easy meal to make for us doggies. For us in particular we love that there is no poultry in any of these new foods which means we got to sample all 3 !

        Positives and Negatives
        One of the things we love about Sojos is that it is the perfect food. It has everything you need in one small serving and it is also easy to take when traveling. We get a perfect meal that doesn't take up a lot of room and we can have a variety of flavors too. The only negative to us is just the waiting time - our noses are twitching in anticipation and we drove Mom crazy woofing and telling her to hurry up but it well worth the wait.

        Rating
        We definately give this an 8 paw rating - it is so good we kept going back to lick out our bowls for 15 minutes after we finished our dinner!

        Giveaway
        Ms Kira from Sojos also says one lucky blog buddy will get to try new Sojos Wild™  for free - how cool is that!  Just leave us a message telling us which flavor you would like to try. We will use random.org to pick a lucky winner and Ms Kira will send you a packet of the food of your choice. Sorry but the giveaway is only available to residents of the USA this time.

        Our Review - The Positives and Negatives
        • The handle was very good - it gave excellent ergonomic grip and control
        • Sadly we didn't find this particular brush very useful for our type of thick double coated long fur.
        • It didn't go through our coats
        • It didn't remove much hair
        • The cover was a very poor design and wouldn't click or stay together
        • Mr Reilly didn't like the feel of this brush at all

        Today thanks to Chewy.com - the best and most well known online pet food, treats and goodies store we are reviewing  Evanger's Freeze Dried Beef Tripe


        Here's the Basics

        • Beef Tripe is a unique single-source protein that is rich in essential fatty acids. Gluten-free and grain-free, Evanger's never uses additives or artificial ingredients. Can be a great aid for digestion. Because of the palatability and wholesomeness of these treats, they are excellent for finicky pets or pets with food sensitivities, as well as for use as a training reward or food mixer..
        • 3.5 oz tub is normally$13.49 but it is currently on Sale at Chewy.com for $6.69


        Key Benefits
        • Grain and Gluten Free
        • Only 1 ingredient
        • Nutrient dense
        • Made in the USA













        Taste Test
        • Both Denny and I could barely wait for Mom to open the tub - and when she did our noses were twitching like crazy because if there is one thing we love is crunchy dried beef tripe.
        • The treats are freeze dried which gives then a nice crunchy texture but it is an easy crunch that even little teeth (like Dweeb has) can manage. There are all different sizes in the tub  and they can be broken into smaller bits but personally we like the BIG pieces. Mom does admit she had trouble breaking them but that is simply because of the arthritis in her hands - Dad just snapped them easily - booooooo.

        Ingredients
        • Beef Tripe, Beef Tripe, Beef Tripe, Beef Tripe - and absolutely nothing else
         
        Negatives - Kind of - Sort of - Maybe - Not Really
        • Not a one - we totally loved them. Mom also wanted to mention that they don't have any smell which she liked a lot as she remembers when she was a wee puppy her Mom use to eat Tripe and Onions and Mom would spend the day outside as she hated the smell - and no - Mom never tried it - she doesn't know what she is missing out on !!!!!!

        Rating
        • Definitely a 8 paw rating (that is 4 paws from each of us)

        ____________________________________________________________________________

        8th November 2014

        Here's the Basics
        • Today thanks to Chewy.com we are reviewing Natural Balance Venison Burger Bites.  Mr Denny will be doing the review because sadly when Mom checked the ingredients she found the second ingredient is turkey which I the Reilly dog can't have - so not fair !

        Key Benefits
        • Made with high-quality venison (and turkey)
        • No corn, wheat, artificial flavors or colors
        • Suitable for all breeds
        • Great for puppies and adult dogs
        • Made in the USA

        Taste Test
        • I the Denny thought these were totally delicious. They are soft, moist and chewy which is exactly my most favorite kind of treat.













         Ingredients
        • Venison, Turkey, Barley Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Vegetable Glycerin, Rice, Sucrose, Dried Sweet Potatoes, Gelatin, Water, Cane Molasses, Salt, Sorbic Acid (preservative), Caramel Color, Citric Acid (preservative), Mixed Tocopherols (preservative), Natural Smoke Flavor, Rosemary Extract

        Negatives - Kind of - Sort of - Maybe - Not Really

        • Note from Mom - the bag gives the impression that these are venison only treats - they should really be called venison and turkey burger bites

        Rating Definitely a 4 paw rating from Mr Denny but 0 paws from Mr Reilly

        Today thanks to Chewy.com we are reviewing TropiClean Fresh Breath Plus which is an oral care additive to help keep our breath fresh but also has glucosamine in it to help with our joint care

        TropiClean Web site http://tropiclean.com/products/oral-care/water-additive

        Here are the Basics
        Fresh Breath + Hip & Joint is specifically designed to promote wellness for pets with hip and joint challenges. Glucosamine is widely known for its active role in the repair and development of damaged or lost cartilage, serving as the perfect supplement for our Hip & Joint Water Additive. Complete pet wellness + 12 hours of fresh breath!

        Key Benefits
        Fresh Breath +Plus is uniquely designed to clean teeth, freshen breath and promote complete pet wellness. Daily oral hygiene is essential to pet health. Without it, 70% of dogs and cats will start showing signs of periodontal disease by age three. When left untreated, oral disease can lead to serious health problems affecting the heart, lungs, kidney and other major organs

        So what is this Mom?
        Oh look - it came with a treat and a coupon!














        Taste Test
        Now we must admit we didn't even notice this in our water bowl. Mom even taste tested it and said it has just the slightest sweet taste and smell - but was hardly noticeable. To use - you simply add 1 tablespoon of Fresh Breath Plus to a bowl full of water.

        Ingredients
        Purified water, Citric Acid, Cytlpyridinium, Chlorophylin, Glycerine, Potassium Sorbate, Glucosamine, Green Tea Leaf Extract.

        Negatives - Kind of - Sort of - Maybe - Not Really
        Just add 1 Tablespoon to a bowl of water
        Mom has been putting this in our water for a week now and she says she has noticed our breath has improved. Now neither of us have bad breath as mom keeps our teeth nice and clean but we do love our fish treats and they tend to be stinky on the breath for an hour or so after we eat them but since we have been having this in our water Mom hasn't noticed it as much. We can't say if the glucosamine is helping yet - we think that will take a few weeks of use to show benefits but we sure it will. We also loved that the bottle came with  glucosamine treat and coupon attached to it - Mom cut the treat in half so we could each try it.


        Rating
        Definitely and 8 paw rating

        19 September 2014

        We were recently asked by Viva La Dog Spa to do a review of some of their products. We were sent a bottle of Gold Medal Whitening Shampoo and a container of  Doggie Facial Wipes (We will review those later). Now as you can guess - the Dweeb and I were not to happy about this particular review - not because of the product but because we HATE, LOATHE, DETEST and just plain don't like baths. But being the brave doggies we are (and the constant bribing with cookies)  we stoically undertook the task.

        Here are the Basics
        • Great for both dogs and cats, Gold Medal Whitening Shampoo is specially formulated to brighten white coats and highlight all coat colors while gently cleansing.

        Key Benefits
        • Gold Medal Pets with Cardoplex is a REVOLUTIONARY dog shampoo developed to wash and dry your pets faster, so bathing is easier, more enjoyable and less stressful for everyone.  
        •  The Cardoplex system is a unique proprietary trade secret that will wash, rinse and dry faster. Whether an owner air, towel, or blow dries the will notice a definite difference. These formulas incorporate fruit acids, vitamins and fast-acting proteins to aid in water sheeting off the pet’s coat quickly and easily.
        •  Pro-vitamin B-5 is a moisturizing ingredient that adds luster and shine to the pet coat, as well as thickens the hair, which helps prevent future damage. Other extracts may be used in formulas to condition, moisturize, and protect the coat, and add luster and shine.

        Wash Test
        • We really like the purple color of the shampoo as it makes it so easy to see where you washed and if you have missed any spot. It lathers really well and washes off easily.
        • It really did help to dry our fur a lot faster than normal.
        • It has a nice light scent
        Mom - I can't believe you are showing this
        I'm a soggy doggy !
















        Ingredients
        • Gold Medal is a thick, rich shampoo that cleans, brightens and highlights white coats and dark coats without the use of harmful chemical optical brighteners. Gold Medal base contains special Hydrolyzed Wheat Proteins in a unique hydrating complex that combines moisture-balancing and film-forming properties. These ingredients work synergistically to provide maximum manageability to the animal's coat. Chamomile extract is essential to the formula as a natural moisturizing agent. Gold Medal Shampoo also contains Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B-5), which promotes retention of moisture, improves manageability, adds body and conditions a damaged coat. Panthenol also contributes to a fuller and more luxurious shine.

        Negatives - Kind of - Sort of - Maybe - Not Really
        • The shampoo did do an excellent job of whitening our coats and also made them feel very soft and silky. 
        • One thing I did notice though is that it really dried out Reilly's skin - now in all fairness he has very dry skin due to his allergies but he looked liked he had a bad case of dandruff after he dried off and was scratching a lot.
        •  It didn't affect Denny at all and didn't dry his skin out in any way.

        Rating
        • Reilly will give this product a two paws rating - it was a nice shampoo but just not good for him with his dry skin.
        • Denny will give it a 4 paws rating as it really did make his coat very bright and soft.
        Clean and White
        The best part of a bath is the towel - I LOVE being toweled!

          14 June 2014

          Today thanks to Chewy.com - I THE DENNY am getting to do a review all by myself. See the other day Mom was mowing the lawn on the "Red Beastie" (ride on lawnmower) when she ran over my most favorite ball - it was devastating !!!!!!!!!!  Now admittedly with all the rain we have had the grass was so long she didn't see it but she heard it as it squeaked it's final squeak, flew around under the mower and then got spit out and hit the fence in bright yellow fuzzy pieces.  I know - the details are gory ....and I think I am still in shock!

          Well thankfully Chewy.com and Mr Andrew came to the rescue because one of this months review items was "Planet Dog" balls. Mom quickly sent an email and said we would be happy to review a the new Orbee-Tuff Sport Ball.

          Here Are The Basics

          • Durable
          • Buoyant
          • Minty flavored
          • Bouncy
          • Has space for treats inside
          • Made in the USA
          • Cost $9.95 (Sale Price)

          The Play Test
          Now this looks like a tennis ball but it isn't fuzzy and I was a bit scared skeptical of it  to begin with. It also smelled different too and I wasn't sure about that either.

          Mom pondered for a moment - then she washed the ball and rubbed it all over ME !  What kind of strange ball game is this oh my DOG ...I didn't like that at all !!!!!

          BUT - then Mom did something totally AMAZING with it - she put YUMMY treats inside it..... nice smelly stinky salmon treats - my most favorite and that Orbee ball suddenly became irresistible ! Mom would throw it and I would chase it and little bits of freeze dried salmon would fall out - what a wonderful magical ball it is.


          Positives
          I do like this one being a soft rubber - it means I can leave it outside and it won't get soggy when it rains. Of coarse it might get run over with the "Red Beastie"  if I do that.

          Rating
          Now as much as I LOVE playing with this ball - I am only going to give it 3 paws rating. It loses a point because it doesn't squeak and I love me a good squeaky ball and also because the treat section seems like a good idea - but it is so small that it is hard to find treats small enough to go in it and if you crumble treats up small enough to fit - they also fall straight back out again. Now even though I am a BIG STRONG boy - I found this ball is also a bit to heavy for my little mouth.

          2nd December 2013

          We were recently asked to do a review for Tails Trends a small company that makes a unique collection of the cutest wearables for us doggies.  Mom fell in love with the Plaid Bowtie and Plaid Neck Tie and Miss Amy kindly sent one of each for ME and the Dweeb (Denny). First we tried on the Bow Tie - we got a Large for me and a Small for  Denny. They have a little white collar behind the bow tie and they tie on with a nice long silk ribbon so they are very comfortable to wear.
           
          About the Company
          Tail Trends is a Los Angeles-based, dog lovers' pet project – literally! Our goal is to create and spread that special oomph! that will get tails-a-waggin' with our line of dog apparel, ranging from Hair Bows, Kerchiefs, Tutus, Ties, and Bow Ties. 

          Our design philosophy is as follows: (1) Cute prints and loads of colors; (2) Hand-made appliqués that are lovingly and individually crafted; (3) Affordable price points that allow you to easily express your dog’s personal style for every occassion. At Tail Trends, we believe that cute is not only on the outside, but, more importantly, it's the ineffable beauty that resides within. This is for those divas and darlings, those cowboys and rock stars, and everything in between. It’s for all our furry little buddies and their larger than life personalities. 

          And, for all you dog lovers, we are committed to offering a great shopping experience, rapid delivery, and superb customer service. We are ever grateful for your interest and support. We hope you enjoy shopping at Tail Trends!
          Okay girls -don't faint - yeah we are THAT debonaire!!!!
          The Quality & Variety
          We found these to be really well made and the selection is totally pawsome, there are colors and patterns for every doggie. We also loved the blue plaid. They have seasonal collars too so if you are looking for something special for Christmas take a look.

           









          The Prices
          We thought the prices were AMAZING!!  Our bow tie and tie are normally only $7.99 but are on special at the moment for only $4.99. Tail Trends has regular discounts and will be having a special for today (Cyber Monday) and for Christmas.
          When you are sexy and you know it - flaunt it baby !!!!
          Rating
          Now as you know - being such furry dudes we don't normally 'do' clothing or collars but we felt totally comfortable wearing these - even the Dweeb who as you all know..... is scared of just about everything. He didn't mind wearing them at all.  And you have to admit - we look pretty darn dapper ! We have no problem giving them our 5 paws rating.

          Disclaimer : Tail Trends sent us 2 bow ties and two neck ties in return for an honest review.  We were not paid or compensated for our review in any other way and our opinion is  purely our own.

          23th August 2013
          Today thanks to Chewy.com  we are  reviewing Orijen's Regional Freeze Dried Dog Food. Note - this is a dog food and not a treat and what is shown is a sample bag.

          The test began  with Mom trying to read the instructions - trying being the operative word as the print was so tiny that even with her glasses on it was hard to read. Mom eventually got the magnifying glass out. Hopefully on the larger bags it is easier to read.

          Okay - break the pattie (which looks and smells remarkably like poop) into quarters and add 1/4 cup of warm water. Wait 3-5 minutures until softened. We waited - and waited and waited - after 20 minutes it still hadn't softened. Mom decided to try boiling water instead of warm water and we waited again and waited and waited. Another 20 minutes and only the very outside was soft - the inside was still hard.

          Now in all fairness - I loved the smell - my nose was twitchin and sniffin but Mom had to take the bowls outside as the smell was making her feel queasy. It is pretty stinky but as you know we doggies love anything that is stinky.

            4th of June 2013

            Today we are  reviewing The Mountain BIGFACE T-Shirts. These are awesome T-Shirts that come with the most beautiful pictures of dogs, cats and other animals on them. Lots of breeds to choose from.

            Here's the basics
             Positives
            • Love the quality of the T-Shirt
            • Love the length of the T-Shirt - for me I am not fond of short t-shirts
            • Love the picture - the eyes are so realistic.
            • No tags inside - information is printed on the T-Shirt
            • Washed up beautifully
            • Delivery was very fast
            • They sent a coupon - feel free to use it - valid until 30 of June 2013!

             

















            Negatives - Kind of - Sort of - Maybe - Not Really
            • This one is only available in black  (it's not actually black though - it is black and mottled grey which I love).
            • I got a small and it is very roomy (which again I love) but is something to be aware of when ordering your size.
            • Denny barked his head off at it when he first saw it - he thought it was another dog!

            Rating

            • Without a doubt - we give this our 5 paws rating.

            Today we are  reviewing Think!Dog® naturals Louisiana Alligator Dog Biscuits with Pomegranate and Louisiana Alligator Jerky

            Here's the basics
            • YES they are made with REAL alligator!
            • They are both wheat free, corn free, soy free and have "no artificial anything" in them!
            • They are made right here in the USA
            • Place of purchase - Sams Club
            • Cost 42 oz bag of Alligator Jerky - $14.98 and 56 oz box of Alligator Cookies - $10.98
            • Company website : http://www.delcacorp.com/
            • Treats Page http://delcacorp.com/index.php/thinkdog-cookies/
            • The treats are actually made in California
            • We LOVED that the cookies are sealed in 4 separate bags so they stay nice and fresh.
            • The cookies are about an inch and a half round and are cute paw print shaped and what we call soft crunchy. (They are not a real dried out hard cookies like milk bones but more like an Oreo cookie texture)
            • The jerky is also the same size and paw print shaped but is a nice soft moist chewy texture. The bag has a zip lock seal so they stay fresh.

            Taste test
            • We admit it - WE LOVED THEM!!!   (We have had our noses glued to the box the whole time Mom has been writing this review!)
            Positives
            • USA made
            • All natural ingredients
            • Excellent for us doggies with allergies
            Negatives - Kind of - Sort of - Maybe - Not Really
            We CERTAINLY don't see it as a negative but if you have only one dog - this is A LOT of treats - but we did buy them at Sam's Club which of coarse is known for bulk sizes and they are sealed well so they will last :)  On the Think!Dog® website is does show smaller boxes available.
