Product Review: Natural Balance Delectable Delights for Cats

My dog says today's review is going to the dogs...er, cats! Yes, today, we'll be reviewing a moist cat food from Natural Balance and it's Delectable Delights line of foods. Without further delay, let's get to it!

For this review, we selected the Life's a Beach recipe of the Delectable Delights line. This pate-style wet food is packaged in a 2.5 ounce tub, not a tray. That means each portion is a nice, big one! But, what's in it? Let's see!

This gourmet-style, grain-free pate is fortified with vitamins, minerals, and taurine to help maintain healthy eyes and heart. There's also omega 3 and 6 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat. The primary ingredients are just as solid. The first five ingredients are tuna broth, tuna, sardines, whitefish, and carrots. There's also mackerel, crab, and spinach in this recipe as well. The dark spots on top are the spinach.

It says this recipe is in gravy, but you'll probably see that the gravy amount varies a little from tub to tub. That's probably because some servings may absorb the gravy a little more than others. It's a soft, super moist food, though, and its moisture content is 80% so it's very enticing. And, the smell? Ohhhh, so nice and fishy! Mmmmmm!

Now, onto the tastin'!

KitCat says mmmmmmm! Fishalicious! Add this to our regular rotation, mom! Look at his empty dish! He ate it ALL!

The Natural Balance Delectable Delights is available on Chewy.com in a 12 tub case. At around a buck twenty per tub, it's a great price for a high quality food. There's also several other flavors to try out, so there are plenty of recipes to please your kitty! We've conferred with the KitCatster and he says we're giving this food a four out of four paw rating! Life is a beach, indeed!

Product Review: Instinct Raw Boost Mixers for Cats

My dog says today we'll be taking a look at kitty yummies! Well, Instinct by Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers can be used as a mix-in, topper, or a treat, whichever your feline prefers. So, let's take a look at this item and see what our taste tester KitCat thinks!

Instinct is a freeze dried food and we let KitCat sample the chicken flavor.  One of the nice things about this food is it's an all natural, grain-free, minimally processed, raw, whole food. It's made with cage-free chicken, chicken liver, pumpkin seeds, carrots, apples, butternut squash, turkey liver, turkey heart, and a few other all natural ingredients (all fruits and veggies in this recipe are non-GMO, too!). Freeze dried foods remove the moisture, while locking in the nutrients and flavor. Therefore, it's generally a really solid food choice for your pets.

We've added these little nuggets to the kitty kibble and we've also given them out as treats. Each piece is about the size of woman's fingernail (not the false ones!) so they're a good size for eating. Oh, and this food is made in the United States! But, all this said, did KitCat like it?

He did! Meowza!

We got the Instinct by Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers for Cats from Chewy.com where it also has overwhelmingly positive reviews. It comes in a 6 ounce bag and is a good price for a freeze dried food. Six ounces may not sound like a lot, but remember that this is freeze dried so it's light and actually a good amount of food. You'll probably be surprised how long it lasts!

So, while KitCat is munching on his Mixers, we'll go ahead and submit his four out of four paws up rating. This product is a real winner!

Product Review: Solid Gold Mighty Mini Dog Kibble

My dog says this week we've been taste testing Solid Gold dog kibble. Since we've got little ones in the canine crew, we opted to try the small breed kibble. It looks like this product is in the middle of a rebranding, so you'll see that our photos says Lil' Boss but the photo when ordering online says Mighty Mini. Rest assured, it's the same product. So are the pups Mighty Mini/Lil' Boss fans? Let's see.

We opted for the turkey and hearty vegetable, grain-free recipe. As always, we like to look at the first five items on the ingredient list. In this recipe, it's turkey, turkey meal, chicken meal, peas, and chickpeas. Good stuff.

This variety also boasts 20 superfoods in it like blueberries, cranberries, pumpkin, lentils, carrots, kelp, broccoli, and almond oil. There's also other veggies including apples, lettuce, celery, beets, watercress, parsley, and spinach. Monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, salmon oil, and canola oil are also in the mix which are good for a healthy skin and coat. Lastly, the recipe is void of corn, soy, and wheat so it's a good option of dogs with allergies.

Now onto size. It's hard to believe all dog kibble used to be the same size back in the dark ages. Luckily, there are now a great selection of small breed kibbles on the market. The Mighty Mini is, indeed, mini (similar in size to a cat food); perfect for chihuahuas, poms, and other little breeds. (For reference, that's a pinky finger in the photo above.)

So, all of this is well and good, but will the crew eat it?

Yes! Alexander enjoyed it and the cat even came over to try to take it from him. Only one caveat on the size if you have a fast eater, the tiny kibble size might be problematic since a pup can fit a bunch of this into his/her mouth at once. We recommend using a slow feeder dish if you have a furry friend who's inclined to scarf his or her food.

The Solid Gold Mighty Mini turkey recipe is available on Chewy.com in a 4 lb and 11 lb bag. There's also four other flavors available. The pups here at My Dog Says Woof give this food a rating of three out of four paws up! We look forward to trying the other flavors soon!

Product Review: Zignature Salmon Recipe Limited Ingredient Canned Dog Food

My dog says today we're trying out the salmon formula of Zignature's canned food line for dogs. Zignature is a brand we discovered about a year ago and we've tried several of their products with much success. Zignature offers a lot of canned food varieties on Chewy.com and we decided to test out the salmon flavor. Was it a hit or miss? Read on for the fishy results.

We've tried several fish-flavored foods in recent years and salmon always seems to be a flavor that goes over well (and it supports healthy skin and soft coat). It's generally flavorful, without being overly fishy. When we opened the can, you could smell the salmon but it wasn't overwhelming. Basically, smelly enough to be enticing! (Plus, the salmon is sourced from the Northwest United States and the food is made in America so that's something we like a lot!)

Since this is a limited-ingredient recipe, you'll find some simple ingredients along with traditional vitamins and minerals. The first five ingredients are salmon, fish broth, salmon meal, peas, and chickpeas. This recipe has powerful antioxidants and low-glycemic carbs. The peas and chickpeas are also healthy sources of fiber. The Zignature salmon recipe is also hypoallergenic and is void of the most common doggie allergens such as corn, soy, wheat, chicken, and dairy.

Alexander is tired of waiting to eat, but we'll get there soon...

We really like the consistency of the salmon recipe, as well. It was soft, but not gloppy. We're not a fan of canned foods that are hard, so consistency is something we pay attention to. So far this looks and smells like good stuff...but is it yummy to the tummy?

Our pups say yes, yes, yes! They like the salmon flavor way more than the chicken formula that they tried in the past. (That's actually a good reminder to try different flavors as it sometimes takes a little trial and error to find what recipes your pup prefers!) In short, the furry reviewers here at My Dog Says Woof give the Zignature Salmon Formula Canned Dog Food from Chewy.com four out of four paws up, up, up!

Product Review: The Honest Kitchen Pour Overs

My dog says today we're going to be reviewing a product from The Honest Kitchen. The brand has a new line of Pour Overs, including pumpkin pour overs, bone broth pour overs, and superfood pour overs. We chose to test out the superfood pour over, so let's get started.

Our kiddo Logan was recently put on a low protein meal plan. We've been struggling a little with his new diet and he hasn't been thrilled with the change. So, when we saw The Honest Kitchen Pour Overs on Chewy we thought it was worth trying as a way to entice him to eat his new food. Ultimately, we chose to go with The Honest Kitchen Superfood Pour Over in Turkey Stew flavor as it had the lowest percentage of protein (4.0 %).

The Superfoods Turkey Stew variety is a limited ingredient food, and we always love when we see that. It has turkey bone broth, turkey, spinach, kale, broccoli, tapioca, potato, and turmeric. That's it. We know what all those ingredients are...and we can pronounce them! Plus, they are all GMO-free. 

And what you see is what you get, so that means no rendered meals, by-products, grains, or artificial colors or flavors. This pour over is also made in a human food facility, so that makes it even safer than a traditional pet food facility.  (The picture below shows the superfood poured over Logan's prescription kibble.)

On another note, the packaging is designed so you can use a little of the sauce, fold down the flaps, and then refrigerate the rest of it for the next meal. You can store the unused portion for up to three days after opening. If you have smaller dogs, that's really handy since you're more likely to have leftovers.

It's a little challenging to find the perforated line to open the first box so look real closely for it (it's right below the arrows) and then bend the top over to help tear the box open. After you figure out the first box, you'll know what to do on all future boxes. Another plus is this box is BPA-free (just don't microwave it). 

So, now onto the taste! Is it a winner? Logan says...yes! He enjoyed it so much that we gave it to the other dogs to try, and they loved it, too! It's become a staple for us after just one use. It's perfect to pour over kibble as a way to make an ordinary meal into something extraordinary! Remember that the Pour Overs are for supplemental feeding, so be sure to use them in conjunction with a well-balance meal to ensure your dog gets all the other nutrients they need. 

There are many other flavors and varieties, but the Superfoods recipe is perfect for Logan and now he gobbles up his prescription food without hesitation. We give The Honest Kitchen Superfood Pour Overs Turkey Stew flavor an enthusiastic four out of four paws way up!

Product Review: Now Fresh Cat Kibble

My dog says we're anxious to share our latest review with you! This time, we'll be talking about kitty kibble! So, without further adieu, let's get to learning more about Now Fresh dry food for cats!

Now Fresh is a product by Petcurean and is a Canadian brand. It's a high-end food that prides itself on what it contains...and what it doesn't. As for what is has, it includes Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids (from coconut and canola) for a soft and shiny coat, prebiotics and probiotics to aid in healthy digestion, and lots of protein to help a kitty live an active lifestyle! As for what it lacks, it's nothing you want anyway! That means no by-products, gluten, grains, rendered meats, corn, wheat, soy, or fillers.

KitCat, our feline tester, tried the adult recipe, fish flavor. The first five ingredients are deboned trout, whole dried eggs, potatoes, potato flour, and peas. The recipe also contains deboned salmon, deboned herring, and an assortment of fruits and veggies including, tomato, alfalfa, appples, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin, bananas, blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, pomegranate, papayas, lentils, broccoli, and dried chicory root (for those who don't know, that helps your kitty's poo stink less!).

The kibble is an almost round size, smaller than a pea. It's not disc-shaped like many kibbles. It's actually a little smooshed on two ends, but otherwise circular. The different shape didn't impact KitCat one way or the other and it was easy for him to eat.

So, let's get to what matters most...the taste test! Did Kitty McCatty like it? YES! He really did! Every time we put some in his bowl, we find it disappears very quickly!

Chewy.com has a great selection of Now Fresh recipes for cats (and also dogs!). They also carry all life stages: kitten (and puppy!), adult, and senior.

Overall, the Now Fresh Fish Recipe for Adult Cats was a big hit and earns a top score of four out of four paws! This kibble is now in our regular rotation and we look forward to trying the other flavors, as well. KitCat is already a devoted fan and wants to visit Canada to get closer to his new favorite food. In the meantime, he'll have to settle for adding Now Fresh to his monthly Chewy autoship order.

Product Review: Frisco Car Seat Cover

My dog says today the pups are excited to talk with you about the Frisco Quilted Car Seat Cover. Our family loves to go for outings, but the canine members here are big time shedders! Plus, one has a passion for running through mud puddles and then jumping into the car. That's why we were in the market for a car seat cover and wanted to see if the Frisco cover could meet our needs.

In the past, we bought a car seat cover from Ross for $12.99. it was hard and thin and it wouldn't stay in place. We hated it and took it off the car seat after just one use. This time, we knew you get what you pay for and a higher quality car seat cover was necessary if we wanted it to work.

Frisco offers four varieties of car seat covers which are all available on Chewy. We tested out the Friscso Quilted Water Resistant Bench Car Seat Cover. We liked the idea of a hammock-style cover, but after measuring our car's back seat, we thought the bench version would work better for us.

First, let's look at the premium features of this bench seat cover.

1. There is rubber webbing on the back of the cover to keep it in place and help prevent the cover from sliding around.

2. There are two anchors (they look like carrying handles, but they're not) that you shove into the seat to help keep the cover in place.

3. The straps that go over the headrests are adjustable. The area where the straps connect to the cover is also enforced really well so there won't be any tearing. (If you have an older model car like us that doesn't have those metal bars that allow the headrest to go up and down, you may have to play with the straps a little more to get them to stay in place, but you'll be able to do it.)

4. The quilting makes the cover more comfy and inviting. It's not slick or slippery at all. It also makes the cover look more tailored and attractive, too.

5. There's a flap in the front that covers the front part of the seat, as well, so you don't have to worry about the cover scrunching up and the seat getting exposed.

6. It's machine washable.

7. There are loops on each side of the cover, and slits in the middle, that allow you to thread through the seat belts so a human passenger can still ride safely in the back seat.

After we got the car seat cover installed, we let Alexander into the car to see what he thought. Of course, he had to rub his face and body all over it to claim it as his. Oh, Alex!

We've been using this cover for two weeks now and have taken trips to the dog park, the vet, and gone on a few rides around the neighborhood. The cover is still perfectly in place, with no slipping at all!

We're thrilled that we finally found a quality car seat cover that works well! Our upholstery can stay clean now and we're able to throw the cover into the wash as needed. We are very, very happy with the Frisco car seat cover from Chewy and give it an enthusiastic four out of four paws way up!

Product Review: Solid Gold Triple Layer Food Cups for Cats

My dog says today the pups are stepping aside and handing over the blog to KitCat, our in-house kitty reviewer! This week, KitCat checks out Solid Gold Triple Layer wet cat food. Without further adieu, let's get on with the show!

The Solid Gold Triple Layer has three amazing textures to it: pate, mousse, and shreds! The mousse is pumpkin and the shreds and pate are both meat protein. This food is for all ages, from kitten to senior. The layered style is a nice way to introduce different types of food to a kitten, especially, so he/she gets used to a variety of consistencies at a young age.

As always, we pay extra close attention to the first several ingredients in every food we test. For this variety, we found: chicken, turkey, pumpkin, egg white, whole egg, and tuna. That sounds like something yummy you'd make for a Sunday brunch, doesn't it?

Both grain and gluten free, this recipe is void of fillers like corn, wheat, and soy. There are also no artificial preservatives or flavors, and no carrageenan or BPA. What there is, though, is lots of meat protein and fiber-rich pumpkin which aids with healthy digestion.

Now, to the taste test...

KitCat sauntered over to the food and ate about half of it. He went back to his dish to polish it off a short time later. He ate all of food (we gave him a half cup at a time), but he didn't scarf it down like the Solid Gold Purrfect Pairings. Therefore, we give the Triple Layer three and a half out of four paws. We've never given KitCat pumpkin before, so undoubtedly that was a new flavor and texture to him. These wet food cups are filled with quality ingredients that we're really happy about, though, so we're going to try some of the other Triple Layer varieties to see if we find another flavor he might prefer (we got the turkey flavor, but there are also salmon, beef, and chicken recipes available).

The Solid Gold Triple Layer Mousse with Shreds is available on Chewy.com in a 6-cup case. Each cup is a good 2.75 ounce serving.

If your cat is a finicky eater, having three types of food in one cup may be just what you need. The pate/mousse/shreds combo cup is a brilliant idea and we look forward to trying other Triple Layer flavors in the future!

Product Review: Sojos Mix-a-Meal Freeze Dried Dog Food

My dog says today we're going to look at a brand that is new to us: Sojos. This company has been around for almost 40 years, but it's one we weren't familiar with so we wanted to check it out.

We decided to sample the Sojo's Mix-a-Meal Freeze Dried Turkey, which is grain free. Chewy.com has it listed as a topper so it seemed like a good first product to start with.

When the package arrived, we saw the spoon over the bowl on the front of the bag and we started to wonder if it was a food we needed to add water to. We read everything on the bag and it said nothing about water, so we used it as a topper and a treat.

The Sojos Mix-a-Meal has one ingredient: turkey. It's a ready-to-eat protein that can be added to any food. Sojos ingredients are globally sourced, but nothing comes from China. The product is made in America in the state of Minnesota.

We wanted to give each of the dogs a nugget to sample first, fully intending to snap a photo and then move on to feeding...but that was not to be. As soon as we opened the bag and started to pour it into a bowl so we could take a photo, a full scale riot ensued! The dogs started running around, barking, and jumping. They were beside themselves trying to get to the food. It was unlike anything we've ever seen!

Important Note: We poured the nuggets into the bowl for photo purposes only. The food should not be served this way. It needs to be added to something else (e.g. kibble, pre-mix, wet food, etc) so it's a complete and balanced meal. 

We quickly took the bowl and started to hand out samples with one hand, and held the camera with the other so we could snap a picture of them taking the nuggets. Well, we literally couldn't take a photo quickly enough before they snatched the nuggets and gulped them down. We tried...and tried...and tried. The camera simply couldn't take a photo quicker than the dogs could wolf down a nugget! Soooooo, that said, here's a pic of two of the pups with blurry tongues after grabbing and gulping down the Sojos nuggets.

We were thrilled with how much the pups loved the Sojos, so we looked around Chewy to see what other products Sojos offers. They have a ton of items to choose from and there's a premix that can be used with this "protein" line so you can offer your pup a nutritionally-balanced meal. We'll have to try that next.

Chewy offers an 8 ounce bag of the Sojos Mix-a-Meal freeze dried turkey flavor. Even though 8 ounces doesn't sound like a lot, you'll be surprised how big the bag is. We have small dogs in the house and know this bag will last awhile (remember, this is for supplemental feeding and isn't a well-rounded meal on its own so it'll last longer than you might suspect).

Based on the mayhem that ensued the moment we opened the bag, we give the Sojos Mix-a-Meal an overwhelming four out of four paws! We highly recommend you try this product!

Product Review: Merrick Lil' Plates Mini Medley Variety Pack

My dog says today we have a review for the small dogs in the audience! Not all food is made alike, and we always like to test out foods that are made especially for small breed pups! That's why we were excited to try out Merrick Lil' Plates food from Chewy.com.

The variety pack we chose to check out is the mini medley that includes three different varieties: Petite Pot Pie (in gravy), Itsy Bitsy Beef Stew, and Tiny Thanksgiving Day Dinner (in gravy). Honestly, when we got this box, we didn't notice the in gravy nor the mini medley. One of our pups always has an issue with food in gravy (yep, he get the runs), so we tend to steer clear of it. But, more on that shortly.

As you know, we always pay close attention to the ingredient list of all the food we test. We were quite pleased with what we saw in the Lil' Plates. Here are the first five ingredients of each variety (remember, ingredients are listed in descending order so you always want to pay special attention to the first several ones listed):

• Petite Pot Pie - Deboned chicken, chicken broth, turkey broth, chicken liver, dried egg whites. 

• Itsy Bitsy Beef Stew - Beef, beef broth, venison broth, beef liver, dried egg whites.

• Tiny Thanksgiving Day Dinner - Deboned turkey, turkey broth, chicken broth, chicken liver, deboned chicken.

These ingredients are solid and protein rich! No grain, no by-products, no gluten, and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. This product is made in the United States, Texas to be specific, and uses locally sourced ingredients. So we really like that, too!

Now, onto the taste test!

We gave everyone a normal serving, but we gave our "gravy-adverse' pup (Alexander) a small sample serving. Everyone gobbled it up! Over the course of several meals, we put the food on top of kibble and we sometimes mixed it in with the kibble. We also tried all three of the different flavors and all of them were met with wagging tails and dancing paws!

We also gradually increased Alexander's serving size, as well. It should also be noted that the gravy is way thicker that what you might expect. It's actually gravy consistency, not watery at all. And, we're very happy to report that Alexander didn't have any issue with loose or runny stool. That's pretty unheard of and we were quite happy that we found a food in gravy that he can safely enjoy!

The Merrick Lil' Plates Mini Medley variety pack is sold on Chewy in a 12-tray box (four of each flavor) and is a good price for a quality food! Although we were skeptical when we noticed we got a cuts in gravy style food, we were delighted about our mistake! We happily give this assortment an enthusiastic four out of four paws!

Chewy Now Has an Online Pet Pharmacy

My dog says we are excited to learn there's a new way to get our pet prescriptions online! Chewy.com, where we always order our pet food, now has a pharmacy!

Unfortunately, we have several pets on meds. We order an assortment of pills and ointments for our furry kiddos with heart issues, diabetes, dry eye, bad skin, and more. We currently order our prescription dog food from Chewy, so we are super excited to learn that we can order our pet meds there now, too!

The absolute best part of Chewy Pharmacy is that you can order your meds and pet food and supplies in the same order. That means it's super easy to reach the $49 threshold for free shipping, too! (Note that your meds and pet food/supplies might ship from different locations, so it's very possible you'll get your orders delivered separately.)

Chewy Pharmacy is accessible through the Chewy.com homepage. Just look for Pharmacy on the navigation bar up top. You can then use the drop down box to select what type of product you need. The Pharmacy has everything you'd expect: flea prevention, skin and coat treatments, allergy relief, eye care, medications, and more.

Find what you want in the pharmacy and add it to your cart. When you're ready to checkout, your pet's vet information will be collected.

You'll need to fill in your pet's name, vet's name, and approval method (that means deciding to have Chewy contact your vet for the prescription authorization or telling Chewy you'll be sending in the prescription yourself). Once you add the name of your veterinarian, you'll likely be given a couple options to choose from so you can select your proper office.

The process is quick and you only have to do this on your first order and for any new prescription medications you add in the future. And since the Pharmacy is part of Chewy, if you're order is a little shy of the free shipping threshold you can just add a bag of treats or a dog toy or something to get to that magic $49.

The first order will take a little longer than a typical Chewy delivery since your vet will need to be contacted and your prescription will have to be authorized. This'll be the case for any new prescriptions. As long as you have refills, though, all future prescriptions will be filled without that extra step.

The prices on Chewy Pharmacy are really good too, much less that what you'd pay at your vet's office. And the selection is solid. Our pups are on four different medications (Vetmedin, Enalapril, Lasix, and Tobramycin) and also prescription flea treatment, Bravecto. We found everything we needed in the Chewy Pharmacy, so we were quite pleased.

Our first order arrived in a week (remember when you order that FedEx doesn't deliver on Sunday or Monday, so factor that in so you don't run out of important meds!). Our order was in a padded, blue Chewy envelope, so if you have a small order, be sure to look for that and not the typical Chewy box.

Overall, we are very pleased with Chewy Pharmacy! The selection is good, the ordering process is easy, and the delivery is prompt. If you're spending a fortune at the vet's office for your pets' prescription items, stop throwing away your money! Look in the pharmacy today and find the meds you need. Then throw a special toy or treat into your cart with the extra money you'll be saving!

Product Review: Taste of the Wild Canyon River Formula for Cats

My dog says KitCat was anxious to try out a new food this week, so we ordered something for him to taste test! He picked the Canyon River flavor from Taste of the Wild. Did KitCat like it? Let's see...

The Canyon River flavor is a grain-free, canned food and features trout as its first ingredient, with fish broth, vegetable broth, and ocean fish following suit. There's even some smoked salmon in it, and also carrots, blueberries, and raspberries for antioxidant support. Added taurine provides support for healthy heart function and strong eyesight, too!

The food is a chunky variety, with little cubes in a thick gravy. The gravy provides nice moisture for the food, but is not at all watery. It's nice and thick. The gravy also doesn't take up a lot of the can (like many foods in gravy!); this is a canned packed with meat.

KitCat seemed to find it necessary to take out one cube at a time, set it on the floor, and then eat it. He's a good and tidy little kitty, and he ate everything he took out. We assume he has his reasons for this ritual, so we just let him do what he needed to do.

Made in the United States, Taste of the Wild is a brand that is family-owned and operated. In this day of megaconglomerates, we like the idea of a family business that takes pride in its products!

Taste of the Wild Canyon River formula is available on Chewy.com in both 3 ounce and 5.5 ounce cans, both in 24 can cases. And it's a good price for a premium product.

What did KitCat rate this flavor of Taste of the Wild? He gave it a three out of four paws! He ate every last bit of it, but he didn't do the backflips required for a four-paw rating. Perhaps it's the cubes that threw him off? In any case, he definitely liked it and we'll be buying it again in the future!
