Decadent Doggie Natural Jerky Review

2012-04-01T18:32:00.000-07:00

Roxy and Molly recently got to try some chicken and turkey jerky made in the united states. It is all natural with no preservatives. They loved it. It is hard to find turkey jerky but my girls love it.

What you should know about Decadent Doggies Jerky:

It takes 3.3 pounds of chicken or turkey to make 1 pound of dehydrated Jerky.
Decadent Doggie Jerky is 100% handmade. From the cutting of the meats to the packaging and sending.
Dehydration of Decadent Doggie Jerky takes anywhere from 4 to 6 hours.
Decadent Doggie only make 5 pounds of Jerky at a time to insure consistency and quality.
Decadent Doggie Jerky is made in Indiana

I really wanted to take a video of Roxy doing all the tricks she was doing for the turkey and chicken jerky but I could not get my video camera to work. They ate these treats so fast because they loved t5hem so much it was hard to get pictures of them eating them. I guess I should have told them to leave it(Roxy knows how), but I just didn't think about it. If you have a dog I highly recommend checking out Decadent Doggie.
Especially if your dogs love chicken and turkey jerky like my dogs do and you want to feed them safe treats that are made in the united states. Also if you have a cat, a tiny dog or need training treats they make chicken bites. My cats and Roxy both loved them.(Roxy wanted some when I was feeding the cats and she did tricks for them, perfect size for training)

Watch out for a Decadent Doggie Giveaway coming soon!

As you can see I love reading about dogs. It is great to be ale to pull up articles about dog training and fun things I can do with my dogs. It is also great for doggie recipe. The clipboard above is all the articles I have clipped related to dogs that I can easily look at any time day or night no matter where I am.

Or have you ever found something at home bookmarked it and you are somewhere else and need to go to the site that is bookmarked at home that does you no good now? I have! I just recently discovered clipix which will solve these dilemmas. Once you start using clipix you will find many uses for it. From recipes(including dog treat recipes) to gift ideas(your pets included) and even fun activities to do with your children and pets. There is also an iPhone App so you can take all you clipboards with you on the go and add new clips by taking photos of things you see. You can create custom clipboards for any purpose and rearrange the how you want. You can have your clips be private or share them with friends and family.

I have found that it has been fun way to share articles, recipes, deals and more. It is also great way to just come back to later.

Purina Health and Wellness App: A cool way to keep up o date on your pets needs

2012-02-29T02:00:00.001-08:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Triad Retail Media for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Let me introduce you to the Purina Pet Health App which is for both iPhone and Android operating systems As you all should know I have Roxy, a Beagle Jack Russell Mix and Molly, a Beagle Corgi Mix. I also have 5 cats so this would definitely help me keep track of everything with my pets. You can keep appointments such as vet and the groomers. As well as record all your pets health information and history to have it at your fingertips. This would b especially useful in an emergency so you didn't have to gather all the records if your pet had to go to an emergency vet. If you have a phone that you are able to use this app I definitely recommend it. I know if I get a new sell hone I will be downloading this app. If you are a pet owner please download here.

Your Pets

Your Contacts

As you can see it is a pretty cool app and a must for all pet owners, especially if you have more then 1 or 1 that has lots of health problems that is hard to keep track of.

Saving Money at Walgreens

2012-02-05T17:00:00.001-08:00

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Walgreens is offering a special discount on an annual membership for its Prescription Savings Club. Walgreens Prescription Savings Club cost only $35 for a year. A family membership covers everyone i your immediate family, including a spouse, dependents 22 and younger and even your pets. What other prescription savings plan even includes your furry children? Join and receive discount prices on your prescriptions. Individuals is $20 so the family plan is the way to go even if its just you and a dog or cat. If you have 5 cats and 2 dogs like I do saving on pet prescriptions would come in handy when your pets get sick or if they have to take medication on a daily basis because of a heath problem. It is much cheaper to get your pets prescriptions at a human pharmacy then it is to get them at the vet.

Other benefits include Savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. Discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions(which is great because most pet insurances do not cover prescription), nebulizers, and diabetic supplies. Bonuses when you purchase Walgreens brand products and photo finishing services. I love Walgreens photo department.

Mr. Chewy Review: A Great way to shop for pet supplies

2012-01-29T16:38:00.000-08:00

I recently got to try out a new pet food and supplies delivery service, Mr. Chewy. Especially in the winter I hate having to carry pet food and supplies in the cart to the checkout to my car into my home, Mr. Chewy solves all this by FedEx bringing me my box of pet supplies. What is also great is that you can have them send you the pet supplies on a regular basis and get a discount which I am considering once I realize how often my pets go through their food.

As you can see everything is in great condition!

I had a $50 gift code Mr. Chewy provided me to be able to review their site. I chose a case of 12 cans of Merrick Grammy's Pot Pie, 2 Merrick Flossies and a Merrick G.I. Bone for my dogs and a variety pack of Tiki Cat canned cat food for my 5 cats to try. They have great prices and a great variety with over 70 brands of pet food (actually think its over 80 brands now) All of the prices from the products I got and get for my pets they are within a $1 or so of being the same price and cheaper for some things. For example Felidae 15lb bag is $27.99 on Mr. Chewy and $33.99 at my local Pet store. The flossies are $1 more at my local Pet Store.

Roxy loves chewing on her Flossie and can't wait for me to get her another from Mr. Chewy

Molly loved her Flossie

Happy and Spunky especially loved the Tiki Cat

What was so great was that if you spend over $49 the shipping is free so I got to spend the whole gift code for goodies for my pets. Even if you spend less then that shipping is only $4.95 which is still a great deal. Also it only took 3 days to receive everything I ordered which was super fast. It was way easier then having to go to my local pet store because often they don't have what I want anyways and no having to waste gas or go out in the cold. Mr. Chewy my 7 pets give you 28 paws up, way to go, I will definitely be ordering again. Another feature is they have great customer service available 24/7 so if you realize your running low on food you can even order in the middle of the night.

Disclosure: I received a $50 gift code to be able to do this review. All opinions are my own, my pets and I loved our experience with Mr. Chewy

Last week of the Eukanuba 28 day challenge and a Giveaway Ends 01/21/12

2012-01-11T08:38:00.000-08:00

Molly has been eating Eukanuba for the last month and will probably be at least eating it for another month because she still has about half a bag of food and seems to be enjoying it. I will continue feeding Eukanuba but not as 100% of there diet because both of my girls like a variety of foods so I rotate what they eat. Molly has whiter teeth and a shinier coat since starting the challenge. The best part of the challenge was watching her smile after she ate all her food without adding table scraps or canned food to make it more appealing. I learned that she loves food and is happy when she eats good. I would recommend you letting your dog try Eukanuba and see how they like it. If they are anything like Molly they will.

Now that I've completed the Eukanuba 28-Day Challenge, I'm giving my readers an opportunity to try any formula of Eukanuba food for free!
I am giving away one voucher for one FREE bag of any Eukanuba Dog Food up to 40lbs to one of my readers that are interested in trying their food which is redeemable anywhere that Eukanuba is sold.

2) Tweet about this blog post and leave the URL to that Tweet in a comment on this post
3) You can blog about this blog post and leave the URL to your post in a comment on this post

You can qualify by one or all three of these methods. I will choose from all comments received using random.org .The giveaway ends January 21, 2012
Check out what other bloggers are saying about their experience with the 28-Day Eukanuba Challenge - http://dogtime.com/eukanuba-28-day-challenge-bloggers.html

Molly is loving her Eukanuba(week 3)

2012-01-04T17:54:00.000-08:00

Molly is eating great and will definately continue eating Eukanuba not only because we still have a good 15lbs left but because she loves it and her teeth are getting whiter all the time. She is shedding a little less and doing quite well. What is also great about Eukanuba Pure is that it has no corn so she eats less which also means she is a lil lighter. Before starting on Eukanuba she was starting to get just a biton the pudgy side but since eating teh Eukanuba has lost a little bit of weight or at least redistrubuted it, maybe got more muscle instead of the fat?

Week 1 of the Eukanuba 28 Day challenge

2011-12-12T11:30:00.000-08:00

Molly had the opportunity to try Adult Maintnance Eukanuba Pure . She seems to enjoy it.
The ingredients in this Eukanuaba formula are:

Chicken, Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Ground Whole Grain Barley, Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Dried Beet Pulp, Dried Egg Product, Potassium Chloride, Natural Flavor, Fish Oil (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Salt, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Ascorbic Acid, Beta-Carotene, Vitamin A Acetate, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate (source of vitamin B1), Niacin, Riboflavin Supplement (source of vitamin B2), Inositol, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (source of vitamin B6), Vitamin D₃ Supplement, Folic Acid), Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Choline Chloride, Fructooligosaccharides, Minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Carbonate), Monosodium Phosphate, Rosemary Extract

As you can see the first ingredient is chicken which Molly loves. It also has barley and other whole grains. Both of my dogs like barley and I definately prefer my dogs to be eating barley then corn. It is all natural and as you can see it is preserved with Rosemary Extract wich is also in the food they normally eat that is also very high quality. Overall she seems to be doing good on it. It is suppose to reduce tartar buld up in 28 days, I have noticed that she has fresher breath. I will let you know in the next few post the changes I see in Molly.

Thanks Eukanuba and Dogtime Media for providing Molly with a 30lb bag of Eukanuba Pure food to try so she could participate in the Eukanuba 28 day challenge.

K9 Kamp: Fitness tips for you and your Dog

2011-09-09T18:17:00.000-07:00

Kol's Notes and Peggy's pet Place are hosting K9 Kamp and have over $1000 in prizes to Giveaway!

This weeks challenge is to walk Fido for 60 minutes this week. If you or your dog is ready for a full hour workout then you can do:

2 30 minute walks

4 15 minute walks

if your pup is really out of shape you could even do 6 10 minute walks

Roxy is all Muscle and has self control, she seriously knows what the word "FAT" is and she doesn't want to become it. Molly on the other hand begs and begs she loved her food and is a little chow hound. So since beagles (and othe hounds) are known for becoming over weight I make sure walk them as often as possible. When it is hot out I have walked them as early as 5 am and as late as Midnight , Crazy? Maybe but its not only good for me and them so we don't gain weight, but they also behav better and sleep better, Roxy doesnt bark as much. When walking in the heat of the day(which I don't reccomend) make sure you bring plenty of water for you and your pups, keep your dogs paws in the grass, seek shade and let your dog rest a few minutes and don't keep them out in the heat too long. Also if they don't mind you can splash a little water on them to help cool them off. If they mind that when you get home get them in the AC and wipe them down with a cold wash cloth . Also you could give your dog a bath before or after a walk in the heat. So join me and all the other great blogs and get walking with your dogs! Make sure to enter the giveaways too, all kinds of prizes upfor grabs!
