    Soft and Chewy Treats: I and Love and You

    I and Love and You has the perfect treats to help you two best friends kick off your new awesome journey together. As you know, Cami started school 3 weeks ago and she is doing really well!

     

    Treats are used to deliver rewards for positive behavior during the training process. Dogs can get distracted easily and treats serve as reinforcement and a lure back to focus on the task at hand.

    ILY’s Nice Jerky Bites are the perfect blend of the awesome taste your dog will definitely roll over for, and the nutritious benefits that keep him healthy. With three yummy flavor choices – Chicken + Salmon, Chicken + Duck and Beef + Lamb.  We were working on ‘Down’ for 2 weeks and finally, the ILY’s treats got her to do it!

     

    For a filling post-train meal, ILY’s new Naked Essentials Kibble gets Spike back in action for the rest of the day. Three different recipe choices: Salmon + Trout, Chicken + Duck and Lamb + Bison.  Cami tried a bit of the kibble today and loved it! The ingredients are super and grain free. I will keep these on hand for days she is not having raw.

    I and Love and You Nice Jerky Bites (SRP: $7.99) and Naked Essentials Kibble (SRP: $11.99 for 4lb bag) are available in stores at Kroger’s, Wegman’s and available online at Chewys.com,amazon.com, and additional retailers.

    Saftey for Pets: SimpleWag.com

    Whether it’s waking us up in the morning with a kiss, greeting us when we come home from work, or cuddling with us on the couch, dogs make our lives better. Since they are so good to us, we go to great lengths to return the favor. Oftentimes, that means slipping them a little something under the dinner table. While a lot of the time this is okay, if we’re not careful, certain foods can cause serious, even fatal problems for our pets. The next time you’re tempted to spoil your dog with food from your plate, make sure you’re not feeding him one of the ten most common foods that can be lethal to dogs. Use this infographic created by SimpleWag to ensure your pet’s safety.

    Cami’s Favorite Things December Edition

    Cami just turned 6 months old! Having a new puppy after having Jacob for 11 years, is a whole new experience. In the last 11 years, lots of new pet products have come out and I am excited to check these out with Cami. Cami is a very good eater and she is open to trying new things. She is on a raw diet, having meaty bones, organs, veggies and supplements so looking for healthy treats for her has been of utmost priority. She snacks of dried fruits, veggies and fresh fruits too.  Since going on DogVacay, she has tried all kinds of treats and biscuits so she does get it occasionally at home now!

    Here are her favorite winter treats in no particular order.

    Noah’s Bark at www.buynoahsbark.com – Noah’s Bark is a new line of all natural dog biscuits that are made from healthy lean proteins such as chicken, beef, and peanut protein blends and are most notably different for the ingredients you won’t find in the products: potentially harmful fillers like wheat, corn, soy, added sugars, and animal by-products. Another major differentiator of Noah’s Bark dog biscuits is that the products focus on freshness, using liquid by-products of the ingredients used, instead of water during the production process. This allows the product to retain more nutrients from its ingredients.

     

    Cami loves: Peanutty Perfection – perfectly crunchy, a great midday snack when she goes inside her crate for a nap!

    Made from Oat Flour, Peanut Butter, Ground Apples, Cane Molasses, Flaxseed, Oat Hulls, Natural Yeast Flavor, Mixed Tocopherols (Preservatives), and Rosemary Extract

    The Stretch Fleece  will make your pup the most stylish one on the block. These super-soft accessories, featuring a 4-way stretch will ensure your pup is warm and comfortable this season. All Gold Paw Series products are proudly sewn in the USA. www.GoldPawSeries.com

    Cami loves: The Robin Egg in 24 inches. She is still growing so the 4 -way stretch is perfect for her puppy body and keep warm. The color is gorgeous and it is non-pilling, ultra soft and comfy!

    Walking Cami is one of my favorite things to do! I love the freedom of being unplugged. Often I don’t even bring my phone! But recently, I dropped my phone on the sidewalk while walking Cami, it slipped out of my pocket! And then there was the time when she did a cute somersault and I didn’t have my phone with me to capture it. Then I forgot my keys once too! So having this Wristlet from A Pet with Paws has been a huge saver for making our walks even more perfect!

    Kaleb’s Treats from Vermont are baked with 100% USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENTS! They are also NON GMO PROJECT VERIFIED. They are made in small batches and is a healthy alternative to ‘Milkbones’. THE VERY BEST: HEALTHY, DELICIOUS, KALEB’S ORGANICS.

    Cami loves: Peanut Butter Crunch and no upset tummy even with 2 extra treats during training!

    Anticipating the great fireworks for NYE here in Vegas! Cami tried out the AKC Calming Coat in Pink XL.

    • Provides anxiety relief from thunderstorms, traveling, crating, fireworks, loud noises, hyperactivity, vet visits, and separation
    • Easy to Wear & Adjustable
    • Easy, safe, drug free way to keep dogs calming during stressful times

    Cami loves: hugs! This feels like a constant hug.  Also no zippers! It is so easy to wear with big velcro panels and gives a swaddling effect for dogs with anxiety, fear, travel or hyperactivity

    Twigo Pet Tag is so cute! This is a silent, silicone tag that you don’t need to engrave. All you have to do is write it and then boil it and it becomes permanent.  It is not only adorable but also great for safety. It is perfect for the dog park and when we go hiking! Twigo LOVE tag makes Cami look so cute too. I can’t wait to let her wear this to DogVacay and go swimming too!

    Pet Tech has these cool little boots. No snow yet but I’d love to use these on the hot pavements come summer time here in Vegas!

    Cami’s review to come 🙂
