Pet Product Review - Greenies® Dental Chews

If you look-up the definition of connoisseur in the dictionary, you will not see this:

  con⋅nois⋅seur: 

  A dog of informed and discriminating taste

  a.k.a Joey (see photo left)

Joey is our lovable, 10 year old Lab, who does not have a discriminating bone in his body much less his palate. He savors the flavors of anything he can get his furry little paws on. That's why I'm always happy to discover treats that are actually good for him and don't just pack-on the pounds!

Joey delights in the taste and texture of the Greenies® Dental Chews for big dogs while he unknowingly reaps the many benefits that come from chewing them: Help in controlling plaque and tartar, fresher breath, a healthier immune system, and a dose of daily fiber. The fresher breath is literally an in-my-face benefit that aids in prolonging our "cuddle time" every night.

You can find Greenies® products at most pet supply stores or use their store locator to find a retailer in your area. You can also purchase the Greenies® Value Paks for $9.68 on the PetEdge website.

Pet Product Review - Handmade confections by Sucré

Sucré is a New Orleans based confectioner known for their delectable, hand-crafted artisan chocolates as well as their scrumptious pastries and macaroons, which are even Oprah-approved! This holiday season, a portion of every dollar spent online will go to benefit the LA/SPCA. The wonderful people at Sucré sent me their New Orleans gift box to sample and I couldn't think of a more tasty way to ring out my 2009 diet and ring in the holidays!

First, the packaging is just beautiful! If it weren't for the sweet delicacies whispering to me from inside the boxes (like the call of the Sirens), I probably would have left all of the ribbons intact and used them as holiday decorations this season. But open them I did, and boy, I was not disappointed. Yummy candied pecans, macaroons, melt-in-your-mouth chocolates, a pecan loaf and the aroma of the Sucré whole bean coffee all seemed to be chanting, "Try me first!" My waistline can attest to the fact that I sampled each and every treat and, for a moment, I could have sworn I heard the sensuous sound of jazz emanating from the can of candied pecans! Delicious!

If you're looking for the ideal Christmas gift for the pet owner in your life, (or a little pampering for yourself), I think the Sucré gift box is the perfect way to indulge your palate and help homeless animals!

You can view and purchase the New Orleans gift box, along with a wide variety of other people treats at the Sucré website. FREE shipping ($9.95 value) on all orders over $70 per address Code: BONBON

Pet Product Review - JERK E. SLABS by Pup E. Luv

are you the type of dog owner that likes to show your dog "The Love" with special treats? if so, I found a great new treat that I like and my dog Charlie likes them to. They are called Jerk E. Slabs, and they're made by company called Pup E. Luv.

What I like about these treats is that they come in  convenience and crum free our is or you could say slabs.  so you could break off a piece of the bar to a smaller portion is possible. This is good because then you just give a small piece if you're using it for training, and you're not a cumulative all this calories typically associated with pet treats. And I especially like that the price for a 3 ounce bag of this product is only $1.49. I bought them at  petsmart..

Pet Product Reviews - Pork Comps treats made with Baked Pork Skin

If you have a dog making sure he's got treats that he likes and are safe and healthy is very important.  And if you're like me, every time you reach for one of those raw hide treats you think "hmmm, I've heard these may not be the best."

Well Soctt Pet Products, a leading provider of innovative pet products for over 35 years is easing this concern with the introduction of Pork Chomps, Made with baked pork skin that have a natural flavor and extremely appealing to dogs.

Because they are made of baked pork skin, Pork Chomps are digested more easily than rawhide. Beef rawhide has been found to cause harmful and painful obstructions in a dog's digestive tract, which could put your dog at risk for intestinal blockages. 

My dog Charlie just loves the bacon flavored.

Order your bag of Pork Chops for only $21.99 for a 25 count at http://porkchomps.com/eshop/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=28&cat=Bacon+Flavored
