Good Dog Take Outs Treats | Product Review

When Good Dog Take Outs contacted us about doing a product review, we were glad to oblige.  Jeffie and Rudy love taste testing, plus they thought it was time Rosie got in on the action.

Because of their ingredients, these treats are safe for human consumption.  The Dog Daddy said they're delish!  Rosie agreed!

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Jerky Dog Treats | Product Review

There's no doubt about it.  

Our taste testers love Chewy.com for sending us this product to review. 

They just wish Chewy.com had sent more!

Chewy.com sent us a 3.25 oz package of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats in Chicken Jerky flavor in order to try their home delivery of pet food and treats service.  

According to their website, Blue Buffalo's Wilderness Trail Treats Chicken Jerky is a chicken strip.  

• All natural ingredients:  chicken, dried cane molasses and salt.
• No chicken or poultry by-product meals.  
• No corn, no wheat, no soy.  
• No artificial preservatives, colors or flavors.

Guaranteed analysis:

• Crude Protein   50.0% minimum
• Crude Fat    2.0% minimum
• Crude Fiber   2.0% maximum
• Moisture   38.0% maximum

Blue Buffalo does suggest that Blue Wilderness Jerky Treats be kept in a cool, dry place.  Refrigerating after opening is recommended.

The Chewy.com web site suggests that these treats are perfect for dogs with food-related allergies or pets sensitive to commonly used treat fillers.  

They also note that they're so delicious that pets might forget to chew. Jeffie and Rudy would agree with that!  This definitely has to be their favorite taste test.

As soon as we opened the package, both dogs were eager to begin their duties.  The Dog Daddy held them back while I examined the jerky treats.  Looks and smells exactly like what it is:  dried chicken.

After only the first taste, our soft-mouthed retriever boys couldn't help themselves from trying to chomp another jerky treat.  Jeffie tried to get extras by shaking paws.

Then he spontaneously sat up to beg for more.  Note:  this is NOT a trick he's been trained or encouraged to do.  This was truly spontaneous and all his own idea.

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Chicken Jerky treats are a huge hit at our house.  In fact, I'll be ordering more from Chewy.com

Here's why:

• Blue Buffalo is made in the US.  These treats do not contain any meat from China (or anywhere else in Asia).  All meat is sourced from US meat suppliers.
• These Blue Buffalo treats are all natural.
• Chewy.com has super fast home delivery service
• Chewy.com has an easy to navigate web site with responsive customer service
• Chewy.com offers over 120 brands of pet food and treats with free shipping on any order over $49
• Chewy.com supports animal shelters and rescue groups with an easy way to raise funds with their Shelter & Rescue Network.
• The dogs LOVE them!

We're pleased to recommend both Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Jerky dog treats and Chewy.com!

Note:  Before our taste tests, we did research the issue of recalls on Blue Buffalo jerky treats.   [And there were none.]

Product Review: Rachael Ray's Nutrish Naturally Delish Wet Dog Food

 We love Nutrish Naturally Delish wet dog food!  And by "we" I mean both the canine and human members of our family.

Rachael Ray's Nutrish Naturally Delish is an all natural wet food for dogs inspired by the recipes from Rachael's kitchen.  You won't find any corn, wheat, soy or any nasty artificial junk in these wholesome doggie stews.  Using only tender chunks of real meat, veggies, essential vitamins and minerals, Nutrish Naturally Delish provides a nutritious and tasty food that we bet your dog will love.

Rachael Ray Nutrish Naturally Delish wet dog food stews.

Jeffie and Rudy were eager to give Naturally Delish a try, but first had to select from the four varieties sent to us for review:

• Chicken Muttballs with Pasta
• Savory Lamb Stew
• Hearty Beef Stew
• Chicken Paw Pie

Choosing took a bit of thought and sniffing.

Given Jeffie's Border Collie heritage, I thought for sure he'd pick the lamb, but he immediately chose the Hearty Beef Stew.  

Nutrish Naturally Delish Hearty Beef Stew - chunks of beef plus garden vegetables like peas, carrots and potatoes, all simmered in a yummy homestyle beef gravy

Jeffie thought it was... delish!

Rudy's a southern boy, so it was no surprise he wanted to begin his taste test with the Chicken Paw Pie.

Nutrish Naturally Delish Chicken Paw Pie - juicy bites of chicken with a medley of green beans and sweet potatoes in a savory chicken gravy.

Taste testing is extremely serious work for Rudy.

The boys loved Nutrish Naturally Delish and even ventured a bit of tandem testing.

There was no doubt that Nutrish Naturally Delish passed Jeffie and Rudy's taste test with all paws up.

We like this wet dog food for many reasons:

• All natural ingredients; no by-products, artificial flavors or artificial preservatives
• Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals for balanced nutrition.
• The packaging is convenient - plastic tubs come with resealable lids. However, it is not a good thing that these plastic containers are not BPA free.
• Made in the USA.  Produced by Ainsworth Pet Nutrition - a US family owned company for over 75 years.
• 100% of the proceeds from sales of all Nutrish go to help animals in need via Rachael's Rescue.  So far, sales of Nutrish have raised over $4 million.
