Kelly and Ike Demonstrate How to Get the Best Dog Food

Image
We love delicious dog food, and we get served up some pretty tasty tidbits! How do we manage this? Step 1: First, get Mom to order from Chewy.com. When it arrives (and it's so fast! It only takes about two days to get to our doorstep!), be sure to investigate the delivery. (Yup! Looks good.) Step 2: Mom ordered Whole Earth Farms Chicken and Turkey canned food. Sometimes Mom puts it atop our dry kibble. Since we're seniors, we can't chew as well as we used to when we had young pup choppers, so this really softens things up. Look real pathetic until Mom gives you some. Step 3: Dance at Mom's feet while she opens the can. Whining helps. Take a whiff-- smell that delicious aroma! Whole Earth Farms is grain free and made with high quality natural ingredients. No artificial preservatives, flavors and colors either. See? Step 4. Devour!  We can just taste that chicken, turkey, chicken liver, sweet potato, peas and carrots. Oh, Mom says it's made in the USA too! Step 5: As...

Food to Flip For!

I gave Ike a taste of Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet wet dog food and this is what happened:     Ike went nuts for it!  As a Chewy.com Influencer, we often get a chance to test new products and report back to you. This month we chose Natural Balance wet food. I always feed my dogs dry food, but sometimes they don't seem to have the enthusiasm for it as they used to. Also, Ike and Kelly are both seniors, and dry food can be difficult on their jaws. So I thought a bit of wet food on top might be a good idea. I measure in a slightly less amount of dry food, and divide the small tub of Natural Balance between the two of them. The flavor we got is white fish and sweet potato. This is grain free and just a single source of animal (fish) protein. The first 5 ingredients are white fish, fish broth, sweet potato, canola oil and tricalcium phosphate. My favorite thing about this food is the convenience. The tub is only 2.75 oz, so it is the perfect size to divide as a top...

The great dog food swap

Does your dog like his dog food's taste? How do you know for sure?  Kelly is trying out a new dog food, Solid Gold. Last week we discussed the ingredients in Solid Gold Buck Wild food . This week I want to talk about taste. Obviously, the main way you can tell if a dog likes the taste of their food is if they eat it. That being said, most of my dogs will happily eat anything including dirt, grass, bugs, garbage and yes, even you-know-what. But here's a funny thing that happened while I've been feeding Solid Gold. Kelly has been enjoying her Solid Gold meals, while Ike has been eating his regular kibble. After the dogs eat, they have a habit of switching places, and licking the bottom of the other one's bowl, sniffing around on the floor and finding any stray bits the other dog may have missed. After a week or so of this, Ike began rejecting his own food. He just stopped eating it. If you know golden retrievers, this is not a common occurrence! Ike usually eats anything...
