New treats for my dogs

Before I begin this post, may I remind my dearest readers and friends that the Auction for Charity has started so if you haven’t visited to take a look at what goodies are up for bid, you may do so now! Just click here!

And if you have no idea what I’m talking about you may read about it in my previous post.

Now back to my doggies…

First, a disclaimer. This is not an advertorial. I just like that this dog treat is 100% fish and not one of those treats that have lots of funny chemicals, food colorings, wheat and flour as their main ingredients.

I got my dogs a new treat to try and it’s currently one of their favorites! I’m really picky about the treats I get for my dogs. Usually they get human grade food as treats. Such as plain boiled or dehydrated chicken breast meat or unsalted cheese or whole dehydrated lamb legs. They really love salmon too which is great cause of the fish oils. This treat has Omega 3, 6 and 9 for my fur babies.

I try to stay away from made in china treats and these days they tend to disguise themselves as Japanese or Korean products. They’ll print Japanese or Korean words everywhere and if you look really really hard, you’ll find a small print saying it’s made in China or the manufacturer ( not distributer)  is a china address. I’ve nothing against China in general but their track record for foodstuffs hasn’t been too good with many recalls for both human foods as well as dog foods. If some of those food production in China are even willing to sacrifice the well being of their human consumers in exchange for profit, I fear their commitment to produce good quality healthy food for our pets.

Anyways, back to the light hearted matters. Here are some shots of Louis really happy with his treats. Emmie is a little more camera shy so I couldn’t get any shots of her.

I’ve tried the Fish4Dogs kibbles for them as well. They do love it. However, the food gives their poop a rather fishy smell which I dislike (since I have to clean up after them) so I’ll just stick to their old brand and just give them treats from this brand.

      Barley,

      I have that same problem as well! The fish smell is rather strong so I only give my dogs their treats rather than the dog food.
