Treat Talk From the Ledge #ChewyInfluencer

(It’s late afternoon. Dezi and Raena are both napping the day away. Mommy gets up and goes to the kitchen and stands at the sink washing up Dezi and Raena’s brekky dishes. Both girls awake and run to the kitchen to keep an eye on mommy and await some “specials”. Mommy then moves to crush up some ice into snow for her cold drinks. Dezi, feeling impatient, gets up and walks over to mommy and squeaks out a meow. Raena follows suit and jumps from her perch atop the stroller and lands on Dezi.

 

Dezi lays in the wheelchair while Raena meows t her from the top of the stroller.

Dezi hisses and and lets out a small low growl to which Raena ignores and runs to mommy. Raena stands on her back paws and stretches her front ones up on mommy and chirps. Dezi squeaks another meow and mommy says,”Just a minute girls. We’ll have some treats as soon as I get these ice trays filled, okay?. Both girls stand together intently watching mommy put the ice trays in the freezer and then run and jump up on the Liberty cat tree.)

(While waiting for mommy to get the treat container open, Raena jumps from ledge to perch, to ledge and lands on Dezi’s tail.) Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Stop jumpin’ on me Raena. Mommy’s not gonna give us any treats ifin you don’t behave.

Raena licks paw while sitting on the small cat perch

          Sure she will sissy. These are our Chewy review treats. She’s gotta let us have ‘em, so we can write a review.

Have you learned nuffin’ Raena? Mommy don’t have to do anythin’. Besides, me doesn’t like it when you jump on me. That just ain’t nice.

 Raena reaching for the camera with the Weruva treats in the background

 

          Whatever. (Raena jumps back down to her treat perch and waits) We’re tryin’ the Weruva Paw Lickin’ Chicken freeze dried chicken treats this month. They come in a 1.91 ounce tube, and are chunks of white breast of chicken. I’s know that doesn’t sound like much, but there’s quite a lot of bits and bites in that tube. That’s them behind me there. Isn’t mines paw adorable?

Stop meowin’ fur compliments Raena. Anyways, freeze dried chicken breasts are our favorites, but not all freeze dried treats are the same. Let’s see what Chewy has to say ‘bout the Weruva Paw Lickin’ Chicken: 

Key Benefits

  • Suitable for all life stages that both dogs and cats can enjoy

  • A delicious single ingredient, protein rich treat that makes the perfect treat for pets on limited diets

  • No grains or glutens, a common allergy trigger for pets

  • Can be served as a treat or used as a topper, even the pickiest eaters will gobble down their food

  • Treats come in a convenient container for easy storage

 Weruva Paw Lickin' Chicken freeze dried treats

 

These are a one ingredient treat and are 200 kcal per tube. They are purrfect fur both cats and dogs or any other meat eatin’ pet you may have. They are mostly bite sized, but can easily be broken into smaller pieces. We don’t think in general they are dry enuff to crumble but there are a few pieces in our tube that might be. We do want to speak to the packaging fur a minute. As we said, these are in a cardboard tube with a plastic inserted type lid. Mommy broke a few nails over the holidays, and has some arfur-itis in her hands and fingers (all those years of piano playing and typing). Anyways, mommy did find them a little difficult to get open, and sprayed little chicken bites all over the place, the furst time. The more you open them, the easier it gets.

 

 Raena eats treats

          So, sissy, what did you think ‘bout the Paw Lickin’ chicken? I’s kinda liked ‘em. I’s do like a little bit of a smaller bite, so mommy had to break ‘em in half fur me, but they were purretty good. They’re not crumbly dry, but dry enuff that they don’t have much of a smell, so I’s kept losin’ ‘em. Did you know us kitties don’t see very well really close up? Not even our cross eyed meezer cousins. It’s true, that’s why we rely on our sniffers so much. Anyways, those that actually got in mines mouth deserve 3 paws up.

 Dezi atop the Liberty cat tree

 

That’s pawsum Raena. Me’s so glad you like ‘em. As you said, they don’t really have a smell to them and me likes a smaller bite too. Me didn’t really care fur them. Thinkin’ it might be cuz of the dryness and smell issue, mommy added some water to soffen a few up fur me and added ‘em to mes dinner plate. Me ate ‘round ‘em and left them to dry up again. ‘Course me thinks you came along and ate ‘em up befur that happened. Me will give the Weruva Paw Lickin’ Chicken Freeze dried treats 2 paws up. One fur the limited ingredients and 1, cuz you liked ‘em. Not every kitty is gonna like everything.

 

 

 Raena lays on the Liberty cat tree

          Well, you walked away, so I’s figgered you was through. They were a little smellier and easier to find once they had been reconstituted. I’s been readin’ the dictionary. MOL  Mommy says you used to like these fine, so we don’t know ifin there’s been a change on Weruva’s end or with you sissy; but as ya’ said, there’s no one purrfect purroduct fur every kitty. Ifin ya’ like freeze dried chicken breasts, ya’ just might like these. They also come in Blue Water Whitefish. Both flavors are $8.99. And there’s always speedy free shipping on all orders of $49.00 and up and speedy flat rate fur all other orders. Chewy also has an auto ship program that allows you to always get what you need when you need it and save an additional 10% at the same time. But don’t worry, you can skip, cancel or delay anytime.

Tower of Tracks #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s so excited. I’s luvs Christmas. But we’ll tell ya’ more ‘bout dat Sunday. Today, I’s gonna get to write our very last Chewy review. Yep, da last one…of 2016 dat is. MOL  Did I’s get ya’? We didn’t receive our item till da day befur Christmas, so mommy decided to just save it and put it under da tree fur us. We ended up gettin’ so many pawsum gifts dat mommy waited yet another day befur givin’ it to us. Knowing how much we luv our track and ball toys, mommy got us da Pet Stages Tower of Tracks to review.

As always neither Chewy nor PetStages are responsible for the content of this post unless otherwise stated. We only bring you products we use or have tried and believe would be of interest to you our readers and friends. And we always tell it like it is.

 

PetStages Tower of Tracks

So, let me tell ya’ a little ‘bout da Tower of Tracks. Maybe da most obvious is dat it’s bright orange and made of shiny plastic. Da Tower of Tracks is 10” wide and 5” tall and has 3 levels with a ball on each level. Each ball is lightweight, made of a thin plastic and sammiched ‘tween another row/level. Each level gets smaller in diameter as you go up. There’s a plastic “bar” on da top dat closes off da hole. It doesn’t move or have any function fur da toy itself, other than to keep kittys head from gettin’ stuck. And trust me, I’s tried fittin’ mines head in there, and it just doesn’t fit. So I’s guess da bar’s doin’ it’s job. Chewy lists da Key Benefits as these:  

Key Benefits

  • Durable toy consisting of three levels of exciting play, each level includes its own circular track and ball

  • Non-skid pads keep track from sliding around as cats bat and play

  • Spinning and rotating action of the balls entices cats to play

  • Great fun for a single cat or multiple cats

  • Measures 10″ diameter x 5″ high

Dezi and Raena check out the Tower of Tracks

 

I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s luvs me a good track toy. I’s like to get all 3 balls zoomin’ ‘round and ‘round. I’s haven’t yet figgered out how to get those balls off their tracks, but give me some time, I’s’ll find a way. MOL  All things considered, I’s give da PetStages Tower of Tracks 4 paws up. Dezi, do you wanna tell everypawdy what you think?

 Dezi checks out the Tower of Tracks

          Sure Raena, fanks. Me luvs track toys too, and this one is purretty cool. There’s no place fur catnip, but it’s small enuff fur me to lay down and reach all da sides to whirl da balls ‘round. Me thinks it makes a great toy fur a kitten or small kitty, but ifin me pushes da balls too hard, it falls over. Raena, still bein’ a kitten, really likes it; and it can keep her occupied fur a whole 10 minutes. Fur dat reason alone me gives it 2 paws up. Da PetStages Tower of Tracks is on sale right now fur $9.79. Mommy, what do you think bout da Tower of Tracks?

 Dezi and Raena play with the Tower of Tracks

     Thank you girls. Well, as Raena said, the Tower of Tracks is made of a thin plastic. And as Dezi said, it’s pretty small. Having recently fallen and broken one of the girls track toys, I can say that this track toy would have shattered and made a huge mess. But, it does keep Raena occupied for short spurts. Anything that can do that, deserves a thumb up. lol  Even at less than $10.00, I think it’s still a little overpriced. But if you have kittens, you’ll pay almost anything for a few minutes of peace. lol So again, 1 thumb up from me.

Probiotics and Gut Health #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? Dd ya’ll survive da shoppin’ extravaganza? It’s RaenaBelle. Yeah, I’s learned a new word there, extravaganza. Do ya’ like it? Did I’s use it right? Well, I’s gotta tell you somethin’. You know mommy fell this weekend, and as a result, she didn’t get da sheets changed on da normal day. Anyways, she furinally got ‘round to changin’ ‘em last night. And OMC  She put this thing on there called a ‘lectric blanky. Dat thing is pawsum. You ain’t truly cuddled till you’ve done it under a ‘lectric blanky. I hope every kitty has da chance to cuddle under a ‘lectric blanky at least once.

 Dezi and Raena on the Liberty Tree looking at each other

       Raena!!! What are you doin’? We have a Chewy review to do today.

All opinions are our own. We only bring products we use or have tried ourselves and believe would be of interest to you, our readers and furiends.

 Chewy Logo

Oh, I’s furgot. Dat ‘lectric blanky thing was so pawsum it’s got mines mind all fuzzy.

       Fuzzy or not Raena, we need to tell everypawdy ‘bout da Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets FortiFlora Probiotic Cat Supplement. Furst we must say dat mommy gave sis Lexi Probiotics da last year of her life. At da time mommy hadn’t really done any research and thought they were only good fur sick kitties. After sissy went to heaven, mommy continued to research Probiotics in an attempt to keep me and now sis Raena healthy and happy. What she discovered is dat Probiotics such as da Purina FortiFlora are offen given to kitties with GI issues and/or diarrhea. But she also learned da Probiotics are good fur even healthy kitties. Our little bodies can get out of whack purretty easy, and dat allows unfuriendly bacteria to rapidly grow and cause other health issues such as UTI’s, Hyperthyroidism, and Pancreatitis. Stress alone can cause us kitties to have an upset tummy or other health issue. So when Chewy offered us da oppurrtunity to try da Purina FortiFlora, we jumped on it.

 Dezi with Purina FortiFlora Probiotics for Cats.

       Now let me tell ya’, Raena didn’t have worms like me did when she was young, but dat girly could stink up da whole house in a hurry. And not just when she left depawsits in da pawdee box either. She was a gassy little thing. No doubt her GI was overflowin’ with some bad bacterias.

 

 

Sissy, dat’s not very nice.

 

 

       Maybe not Raena, but it’s da truth. Anyways, me has also been a bit stressed since losin’ sis Lexi and havin’ to get used to a new non stop kitten sisfur. Me doesn’t know how sis Lexi put up with mes shenanigans’. Anyways, let’s take a look at what da Chewy website says ‘bout da key benefits of FortiFlora Probiotics fur cats. 

Key Benefits

  • Contains 500 Million live microorganisms

  • Proven to promote intestinal health & balance with microencapsulated probiotics, which guarantees that they arrive alive in your pet’s digestive tract

  • Contains antioxidant vitamins E, C and beta-carotene which have been shown to support a strong immune system

  • Tastes great, has excellent palatability and may even increase a pet’s desire to eat

  • Easy to feed – just sprinkle on your pet’s food

       And here’s da ingredients: 

  1. Animal Digest, Enterococcus Faecium, Brewers Dried Yeast, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Vitamin E Supplement, Beta-Carotene, Zinc Proteinate, Taurine, Salt, Manganese Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite

    .

       Most kitty pawrents hate purroducts or supplements dat are to be given/served in or over a kittys’ food. Us kitties can be picky enuff without adding anythin’. None da less, dat’s exactly how da Purina FortiFlora is to be given. Yep, just sprinkle on kittys’ regular noms and watch kitty eat it up. Let me say dat mommys’ ‘sperience with such methods has not been great. Us kitties can tell you’re hidin’ somethin’ in our food and usually we don’t want any pawrt of it. So, how did da taste test go? Mommy sprinkled half a packet on mes noms and half a packet on sis Raenas noms and placed our plates in front of us.

 

 

       We both did da same thing. Me took a good sniff and decided it was worth a taste. Yummmmmmmm  Ya’ know, it tasted purretty good. Hmmmmm Me better try another bite to be sure. Yep, it’s purretty tasty alright. Me will give it a 4 paws up rating. Keep da Probiotics coming mommy, me likes it just fine. Ya’ wanna know what Raena did?

 Dezi and Raena eating

I’s gave it a few sniffs and looked over at you sissy. You was scarfin’ it down, so I’s figgered it must be okay and took mines furst bite. Hmmmmmmm Not too bad. Another bite and then another and befur long I’s was scarfin’ it down too. I’s givin’ these Purina FortiFlora Probiotics 4 paws up too.

 

 

       Fanks Raena. Mommy said she was thrilled dat we both ate it right up. She did say it’s a little on da ‘spensive side, since da dose is 1 packet purr kitty purr day; and da box contains 30 packets fur $27.99 or $26.59 ifin ya’ add it to an autochip. 1 box would last fur 2 weeks in our house, so it would add up. But it has done wonders fur sis Raenas’ “gassyness”. So fur those reasons, mommy gives da Purina ForiFlora 1 thumb up.

 

 

       Speakin’ of autoship, Chewy has lots of purroducts fur most of da anipals in your life. Chewy also has da bestest purrices and shipping costs on da innernet. Dat shippin’ is speedy and furee fur all orders over $49.00 and a flat rate of $4.95 fur all other orders. They have great customer service agents…

And da bestest boxes ‘round.

You can check out other Chewy reviews by clicking here. We also wanted to say dat we and Blogville lost an amazin’ furiend and woofy, Easy Rider. He will be missed by many.

Freeze Dried Furiday #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, it’s RaenaBelle. Is anypawdy out there?  Mommy and sis Dezi said today’s somethin’ called black Furiday, and dat a lot of our furiends are gonna be out standin’ in lines today tryin’ to get a bargain. We purray you all stay safe. I’s not sure ‘bout those bargains. Mommy spent a little time yesfurday lookin’ at “ads” and sayin’ everythin’ was way too spensive, and dat only a few items at each store was actually a good deal. Anyways, we’re all right here tryin’ to recover from yesfurdays meal, and I’s ask sis Dezi ifin I’s could tell ya’ ‘bout da Halo Kiblets we got from Chewy this month as Chewy Influencers.

Raena sniffs the Halo Kiblets bag

 

 

 

So, as most of ya’ know, our favorite treats and meals are of da freeze dried variety. So when Halo came out with a line of freeze dried noms, we just had to try them. Da Cage-Free Chicken formula was our choice. They’re also available in Salmon and Turkey, and just Turkey for cats; and Beef and Cage-Free Chicken for dogs. They come in 6 ounce bags and vary in purrice from $14.99 to $17.91. As a lot of you know, sis Dezi and me like teeny tiny bites. Mommy usually has to break up anythin’ freeze dried dat comes in da house. But, da Halo Kiblets/Mix ‘n Mores are already bite size morsels, so no breakin’ needed. And cuz of their size, mild crunchiness and irregular shape, they would make a purrfect option fur those kibble addicted kitties, as they can be served wet or dry. So let’s see what Chewy says are da key benefits. 

Key Benefits

  • Delight and satisfy your cat’s inherent and ancestral love of meat by adding flavorful freeze-dried topper to dry or wet food

  • Made with limited ingredients, with whole chicken as the first ingredient

  • Topping provides highly digestible essential nutrients for optimal health and vitality

  • Whole chicken is pasteurized, crumbled, flash frozen and freeze-dried to lock in the nutritional value of the chicken without any dehydration

  • Formulated without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives for an easy-to-digest topper with wholesome natural flavor

And here’s da ingredients: 

Chicken, chicken liver, whole flaxseed, salt, salmon oil, mixed tocopherols (a preservative), taurine, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, vitamin e supplement, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, copper sulfate, niacin supplement, manganese sulfate, d-calcium pantothenate, vitamin a supplement, riboflavin supplement, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin d3 supplement, vitamin b12 supplement, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid

 

 

 

Halo Freeze dried kiblets

See? They kinda look like kibble.

 

As you can see, altho’ da name says Kiblets/Mix ’n Mores these can clearly be served as a complete meal. And they don’t include any of those questionable ingredients our humans try to avoid. Of course they can also be fed as a treat or added to your pets normal food. Mommy initially gave us a few as a treat, but we purrfur them mixed in with our regular noms. Notice I’s said we purrfur, so ya’ know dat means we like ‘em. They’re a great bite size piece and taste purretty good ifin I’s do say so mines self. There seems to be a bite every now and then dat has a darker color to them and are a bit crunchier than da others. Mommy says it’s purrobably da liver. No purroblem fur us, tho’, we just spit ‘em out. So, fur dat reason, and da one mommy will talk ‘bout in a minute, I’s give ‘em a hearty 3 paws up.

Sissy? Wanna tell everypawdy what you think ‘bout da Halo Kiblets? 

 Dezi watching Raena while they eat

Fanks Raena. You’re doin’ a great job by da way. Da Halo Kiblets are da purrfect size right outta da bag. Like Raena said, we’re not crazy ‘bout freeze dried liver tho’ so there are a few pieces we both spit out. But hey, overall, me likes ‘em just fine. Fur da same reasons as Raena, me gives them 3 paws up.

Fanky fanks sissy. Let’s check in with mommy now.

 Dezi and Raena eating

Thank you darlin’. I really like the fact that both you girls will eat the Halo Kiblets, even if you spit out a few pieces. I’m a picky eater too, so why would I be surprised that ya’ll are?. I’m happy with the ingredient list. I do think they’re a bit pricey, but this seems to be a theme with most freeze dried foods and Chewy definitely has the best price on the internet. Because of the size of each piece, each bag is a full 6 ounces and there’s very little waste. Anyone who has ever bought a bag of freeze dried food knows that there is often quite a few broken or crumbled and powdered pieces that amount to waste. Especially when your kitties are “biters” and not lickers or lappers. So all in all, I give them a thumb up.

We’re gonna wrap it up fur now. I’s have a fridge to stand in front of. We’re joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da weekly Pet Parade. And we really want to thank you all fur sharin’ sweet Hopes’ story and fundraiser. We’re gonna be a bit busy this weekend. Da neighbors furmily is emptyin’ her ‘pawrtment and dat has sis Dezi and me a little freaked out, so mommy plans to spend a lot of time with us. They’re really noisy, bangin’ on walls and screamin’ at each other in da ‘pawrtment and outside. We’re a really calm and mostly quiet household so this behavior is kinda upsetting to us. Even da ambulance ain’t this noisy. So we’ll be by to visit as soon as we can.
