Fueling the Fashion with Merrick Backcountry – #ChewyInfluencer

Sadie and I love to spend quality time together by having our own little photo shoots. I enjoy exercising my photography skills, Sadie is a natural diva model, and we both love playing with different outfits and accessories to create our own style. For our latest photo shoot celebrating Chewy.com’s fashion week, Sadie and I worked hard matching the perfect hair flair with each fashion fabulous dress.

Fashion and photo shoots require a lot of hard work, from the styling and quick changes to the lighting and set design. So it’s no surprise that we needed to pause for a break now and then to refuel. Sadie found the perfect fuel for this particular photo shoot: Merrick Backcountry Freeze-Dried Raw Meal or Mixers. These bite size moresels pack a ton of protein, perfect for an on-the-go energy boost!

As the name suggests, Merrick Backcountry Freeze-Dried Meal or Mixers can be eaten as a complete, balanced meal or as a mix-in to complement your dog’s regular kibble. Just follow the portion guide on the bag, add a little water, and your dog has delicious, nutritious meal. Or you can add a portion of Mixers into a portion of your dog’s kibble. Just remember to reduce the amount of regular kibble you serve based on how much of the Mixers you add, thus ensuring you don’t overfeed your dog. Adding these Freeze-Dried Meal or Mixers is a great way to make your dog’s meals more exciting, keeping your dog interested in eating healthy dog food.

Sadie tried the beef formula, which lists deboned beef as the first ingredient. Other ingredients include potatoes, carrots, blueberries, and apples, providing a good mix of fruits and vegetables to create a balanced meal in each serving. This is the perfect source of crude proteins and fats that my little pup needs to stay healthy and energized. And my picky pup thoroughly enjoyed her Freeze-Dried beef portion. She kept interrupting our photo shoot to snack on the samples I had on display!

Merrick Backcountry Freeze-Dried Raw Meal or Mixers are available in three different varieties: beef, chicken, and salmon. You can even purchase the corresponding versions for cats! The beef and salmon varieties are poultry free for any pets with a poultry intolerance. All of the Merrick Backcountry Freeze-Dried Raw Meal or Mixers are grain, gluten, and soy free, with no artificial preservatives, flavors or colors.

Sadie Loves Rachael Ray Nutrish Treats!

On the heels of Valentine’s Day and Love Your Pet Day, Sadie has decided to share something she absolutely loves – Rachael Ray’s dog treats. For years she has been in love with the Soup Bones – especially the beef flavor. But this week our friends at Chewy.com sent Sadie two new varieties of Rachael Ray Nutrish treats to try out – Deli Cuts Pepperoni and Meatloaf Morsels.

Like all of Rachael Ray’s products, I love that I can trust the quality and safety of these treats for my dog. Both the Meatloaf Morsels and the Deli Cuts Pepperoni treats are made from U.S. farm raised beef and contain no wheat or corn. There are no artificial flavors or meat by-products. Plus a portion of the sales of these treats goes to Rachael’s Rescue, an organization to help animals in need.

It’s obvious why Sadie loves Rachael Ray treats – because they taste great. Of course I don’t know that from personal experience, but I trust Sadie’s very picky palate when she consistently chooses Rachael Ray treats over many other brands. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if other pet parents may taste the Deli Cuts Pepperoni treats, because to me they are completely indistinguishable from pre-packaged pepperoni made for humans. Both look and smell exactly the same. And I know that I can trust the ingredients in the Rachael Ray dog treats. Not sure I can say the same for the human pepperoni.

With these two new varieties of Nutrish treats, Sadie immediately gravitated to the Meatloaf Morsels. She enjoys both, but I think she just has a general preference for meatloaf over pepperoni. Also the Deli Cuts Pepperoni has the strong, smoky odor that you would find in regular pepperoni, and I think Sadie prefers more subtle flavors. I totally understand the preference since I don’t like smoky flavors either. But the strong scent of the Deli Cuts Pepperoni treats does make them perfect for hide and seek and nose work games. They are small enough that you can easily hide them around the house and send your dog off for some sniffing fun trying to find the treats. They are also really easy to break apart to put in treat puzzles so that your dog will have a good target scent to find.

To end this review I’d like to tell you about what happened ten minutes ago. I was working on this blog post, typing on my tablet on the couch, like I always do. I had the bags of treats on the end table, within reach so I could read the ingredients and other information. Normally blogging is too boring for Sadie, even when I’m talking about dog treats, so she usually sits on the window seat and patrols the neighborhood. But ten minutes ago Sadie suddenly jumped down from the window and used her doggy stairs to get onto the couch with me. She marched right over to me and started climbing into my lap. As I tried to maneuver to make sure the computer didn’t get stepped on, Sadie continued climbing over me until she could reach the end table. At that point she grabbed the bag of Meatloaf Morsels and tried to jump off of the couch with them. So it seems that Sadie loves Rachael Ray Nutrish treats so much that she forgets her manners and performs dangerous stunts just to get her paws on a bag.

Frisco Premium Potty Pads – #ChewyInfluencer

Sadie may not be a puppy anymore, but we still make sure to keep a supply of puppy potty pads in our house at all times. Recently the nice people at Chewy sent us a package of potty pads so exclusive you can only find them in one place – Chewy.com. I’m talking about the Premium Potty Pads by Frisco.

Sadie is trained to go outside like most dogs, but she’s also trained to use potty pads in the bathroom. Neither Sadie nor I enjoy going out in the rain or snow for potty breaks, so it just suits our lifestyle better to have potty pads readily available. I put a Frisco Premium Potty Pad in the usual corner in the bathroom and Sadie knew exactly what to do with it in the middle of the night. When I woke up and checked the bathroom, all the liquid was absorbed and dry, without any noticeable smell. The floor under the pad was completely dry as well, confirming that the Frisco Premium Potty Pads are indeed leak proof. And best of all there were no little pee pee paw prints leading away from the pad, which means the quilted top layer of the potty pad successfully prevented any tracking.

Dogs don’t like to make mistakes any more than you like cleaning up their mistakes. They like to please their people, and once a dog is housebroken and learns that going potty on the floor or rug will definitely not please their people, dogs will try to avoid it at all costs. But sometimes humans are out of the house for an unexpectedly long time or maybe your dog has a tummy ache and simply must go potty. That’s when Frisco Premium Potty Pads come in to save the day. If you leave at least one pad out, your dog has a place to go in case of emergency. Frisco Potty Pads have an attractant built in so that even if your dogs are used to going outside, they will understand that the potty pads are the correct place to go. And there’s no need to worry about humans smelling the attractant, it’s not noticeable by human noses. So why not give your dog the comfort of an emergency potty place with Frisco Premium Potty Pads?

At Chewy.com you can get Frisco Premium Potty Pads in standard, extra large, and giant sized, ensuring that you have enough pad to cover the floor space needed by your dog. You can even choose to have Chewy.com automatically ship Frisco Potty Pads right to your door every month to make sure you never run out. Plus you get a little discount if you choose the autoship option.
