Well it’s another miserable Monday and we’re all still here. We kinda went AWOL this weekend cuz sis Lexi wasn’t duin’ so good. Late last night she finally pulled out of it a bit and wanted to eat. We was so happy. Me dusn’t really unnerstand what’s goin’ on when sissy be havin’ a bad time so mommy not only has to take care of sissy, she also has to comfurt me.

As #ChewyInfluencer’s we received a gweat variety pack of Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore canned cat food this month free of charge in exchange fur our honest opinion. As ya’ know, free or not, we always tell it like it is. We’s only ever tried da chicken and duck so we were excited to get to try more flavors. We got a 12 pack of 2.8 ounce cans. Da chicken and duck we like so much was included along with beef, turkey and fishies includin’ tuna. Furst let me tell ya’ dat when you open a can of Tiki Cat, you wuld never know you be lookin’ at cat food. Inside each can is shredded, cut and/or sliced pieces of real meat in juices or a consommé and no stinky smell. Meat is da furst ingredient in every can and there’s no carrageenan. So since sissy hadn’t really eaten all weekend, mommy gave her a can of da Tiki Cat fur dinner last night. Me was purrpared to let her have me’s can too cuz me wanted her to get full and me had a can at breakfast.

Well meowllo Monday, weez havin’ a Mixer today. We totally missed a day. Fur all of ya’ dat follow us regular, you’re purrobly wunnerin’ where we was and what happened to Blest Sunday. Well weez still blest, no worries there, but mommy was in so much pain she just flaked out when it came to helpin’ me and sis Lexi on da catputer. It’s winter time in da South and dat means wonky weather and wonky mommy. She purromissed to try to do better. So anyways, weez on to our Mixer Monday. Me knows you really wanna know what me’s talkin’ ‘bout. As part of da Chewy.com bloggin’ team we get to review sum gweat purroducts, and da one we have fur ya’ today is no different.

As a lot of ya’ know mommy switched up me’s noms recently cuz of da Cystitis. At this point she sez it was kinda a blessin’ in disguise cuz she was able to get me close to eatin’ a raw diet. Me always luvved fureeze dried treats, but not at meal time. But now…dat’s all me eats. Happy Dezi equals happy mommy. So when Chewy offered to let us try da Nature’s Variety Instinct Raw Boost Mixers we was all in. Mommy chose da rabbit furmula fur us, cuz as ya’ know we do luv us sum ‘wascally wabbit’. Now let me tell ya’ these mixers ARE NOT a balanced diet. Dat means they can’t be fed by themselves as your kitty or doggies only food. Thus da name ‘Mixers’. Da ingredient list looks purretty pawsum. 

dw-instinctrawboostmixers1

Ingredients

Rabbit, pork liver, pork heart, pumpkinseeds, carrots, apples, butternut squash, ground flaxseed, montmorillonite clay, dried kelp, broccoli, mixed tocopherols, apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, rosemary extract, blueberries, dried chicory root 

 

They look like little cylindrical pellets and have a crunch to them. Ifin you’re tryin’ to get your kitty off of da dry kibble they wuld make a gweat topper to get fluffy eatin’ better. Da pieces vary a little in size, and me’s a picky girly and likes everythin’ to be bite size; so mommy has to bweak up da larger pieces. Mommy sez they’re not so hard dat her arthritic hands can’t manage it. And they be made here in U.S. facilities. They come in a 6 ounce bag and fur kitties they come in 2 flavors, chicken and da rabbit we tried. Now dat da business be behind us, let’s get on wiff da eatin’.  Sissy why don’t you tell everypawdy what you think ‘bout da Instinct Raw Boosters Mixers? 

dw-instinctrawboostmixers2

Faynkz Dezi. I lubz da rabbit mixerz. Mommy addz lotz of water to mine and they puff up a little and don’t habz da saym krunch az they do dry, but they still tayzt grayt. I hayng over da edge of da tayble waytin’ fur mommy to bring my playt. She sez she’z worried I’z gunna topple off da tayble one of theze dayz. But dat’z not da poynt. I give theze Mixerz 4 pawz up.  

dw-instinctrawboostmixers3

Fanks sissy. Me’s gotta tell ya’ me worries da same thing. Anyways, glad you like ‘em. Now on to me’s ‘pinion. Me has never been da kitty dat meowed fur her meal. Me waited patiently and quietly fur mommy to bring me’s plate. Well not anymore. As soon as me can see dat mommy has da food in our plates, me runs to da livin’ room where me eats and starts meowin’ fur mommy to hurry up and bring me’s plate. As me sed earlier, mommy has to bweak up da larger bits but me licks da plate clean. So me gives these Mixers 4 paws up too. So dat’s 8 paws up fur da Instinct Raw Boost Mixers. Mommy, what do you think?  

dw-Dezi1-163 (640x438)

Well Dezi I like that you girls love them. And I like that the first ingredient is meat. Altho’ the bag is only 6 ounces, there’s actually a lot in it. They work great to stretch out your regular food since most freeze dried food is expensive and comes in small sizes. They also would have been a great choice for transitioning you from kibble to good food. And I like that the price, under $15.00 makes them affordable. So I give the Instinct Raw Boost Mixers 2 thumbs up.

chewybloghop_badgeorig-300x300

Inside dat box was a whole case of Ziwi Peak Rabbit and Lamb canned cat food. Let me tell ya’ they don’t skimp on size eever, each can be 6 whole full ounces. Now there be sum mixed infurmation out there ‘bout Ziwi Peak Cat food so let me tell ya’ a little bit ‘bout it. Da ‘Daily Fresh’ canned cat food be made wiff 100% natural raw meat and contains none, zero, zip, nilch of those controversial ingredients like da carrageenan. Ziwi Peak mirrors da wild-prey diet dat  fits a cats carnivorous needs. Remember it’s made from raw meats to mirror da wild prey model, so it duz contain bone. It’s high in protein and fat from honest to goodness real meat. Fur dat reason tho’ you may wanna innerduce it slowly, specially ifin your kitty has been eatin’ a lower quality food. Such natural goodness kuld upset kitties tummy a little. But not to worry it’s not cuz da food be bad or nuffin’ like dat. In fact, Ziwi Peak was included in a test of 1.759 cat foods and came out in da top picks list. You can view dat list and da testing involved here. So now on wiff da eatin’.

outer can of Ziwi Peak Rabbit and Lamb Cat Food

Sissy and me really like rabbit and lamb is a real delicacy fur us, so mommy was sure to choose da rabbit and lamb furmula fur us. Our box arrived a few hours afur dinner time and we kuldn’t hardly wait. Since sissy and me have been eatin’ high quality high protein diets there was no need fur slow innerductions here. So when dinnertime finally came, mommy opened da can and put sum in our plates. Of course sissy got her plate furst, but me was meowin’ up a storm from da livin room fur meez plate. Mommy wants me to tell ya’ dat it duz have a very strong odor. But dat’s to be spected from game animals. Me also oughtta tell ya’ dat it contains all da vitamins and minerals we cats need so it’s nutritionally balanced. Da texture is similar to a pate, but there are “bites” fru out.

Dezi eating dinner
Don’t bother me right now mommy, this is sum good eatin’.

 As Dezi told you earlier, it does have a very strong smell. That is to be expected from game animals, so I just hold my breath while preparing it. lol  I also added a little water for Lexi’s as it is a bit thick and she likes a little gravy with her meals. Because the girls like it, the ingredient deck is easy to read and contains only good quality meat, organs and the necessities and how it faired in testing, I have to give it 2 thumbs up as well.

Pure Taste

OMC Da year 2015 is almost over. Me can’t hardly believe it. So much has happened this past year, most of it good. And one of those things is dat we became part of da Chewy Blogging Furmily. We luv Chewy. We told ya’ when we started bloggin’ fur ‘em dat we had been shoppin’ there fur quite sum time, and we still do. Those of ya’ dat be a little older will member da sayin’ “Da customer is always right”. Unfurtunately lots of businesses have furgotten this, but not Chewy. Chewy has pawsum customer service peeps and they still believe da customer’s always right. Ifin you haven’t guessed, it’s time fur our last Chewy review of da year. So let’s get on with it.

Dezi rubs the package of Canidae pure treats

 

 

Dezi rubs the package of Canidae Pure treats

We received a package of da Canidae Grain Free Pure Taste Treats. Mommy chose da game bird recipe fur us to try cuz we kinda like da duck, goose, quail and such. These treats are made with limited ingredients. Da ingredient list fur our treats is: duck, turkey meal, quail meal, peas, potatoes, canola oil, sweet potatoes, natural flavors and mixed tocopherals (a source of vitamin E). They’re little heart shaped kibbles fur just da right size kitty bite. They come in a 3 oz packet and are available in 4 flavors, chicken, salmon, trout and da game bird recipe dat we got. So what did we think ‘bout ‘em you ask?

Dezi sniffs the bag of Canidae Pure treats

Me ate 3 pieces da minute mommy opened da package. So she got out a few more pieces fur me, to which me purromptly turned up meez nose at. Sis Lexi munched down on quite a few pieces afur walkin’ away. A few days later mommy offered them to me again. Me sniffed at them and turned up meez nose yet again. Sissy gobbled them down again and again. So me has to give these treats 3 paws down. Me gives them one paw up cuz sissy likes ‘em and me luvs anythin’ dat sissy will eat. Me must tell ya’ dat since changin’ meez noms from kibble and canned to fureeze dried raw and canned, these have been da furst kibbley bites mommy has offered to me. And altho’ these treats be good quality mommy was impurressed dat me didn’t want ‘em.

Dezi tries a Canidae Pure treat

Well you might not have liked ‘em Dezi but I fawt they waz grayt. As a lot of ya’ know I don’t have a lot of teefies left, and these little bite size treats are small enuff fur minez few teef to krunch ‘em up afur swallowin’. And I luv, luv, luv me sum duck. So I give them 4 paws up. 

Lexi smells the Canidae Pure treats in mommy's hand

Meez so glad you like ‘em sissy. So what did mommy think? Well she was very happy dat protein in da furm of a meat was da furst ingredient but wuld have spected no less from Canidae. Because of meez recent bout with da cystits, mommy wasn’t so happy ‘bout all da starch; not one type of potato but 2 are listed. And as ya’ know starch turns to sugar in da body and taxes da liver and kidneys. But as a treat dat gets fed in small purrtions and only occasionally she gave them a fumm up. Also cuz sis Lexi wuld eat them and findin’ things she likes these days gets harder and harder. So there ya’ have it, 1 fumm and 5 paws up fur da Canidae Grain Free Pure Taste cat treats.

Lexi tries a heart shaped Canidae pure treat

As with all our Chewy reviews we got no money fur this review but did receive da treats to try fur furee. And we only bring ya’ things we think you might be innerested in dat we use or have tried ourselves. And we always tell ya’ like it is, good, bad or otherwise.
