Doggies Sit and Stay For a Bit O Luv Beef Jerky Treats
I just couldn't resist putting up this picture of little Samson as he sat nicely and waited for his Bit O Luv Bistro Beef dog treat. It's just too cute! Bit O Luv's philosophy about dogs not just being pets, but being a part of your family, goes right in line with my own.
Quiz: Guess How Many Calories Are in These Dog Treats
Admittedly, I've never been a calorie counter. Even if you're really good about reading your food's packaging, how often do you do the same for your pet? Other than checking out the ingredients of his food, I've never thought about the calories in treats I give North other than some seem like they pack quite a few .
This Just In: Getting Greenies Just Got a Little More Difficult . . .
Rather controversial but still well-loved by pups across the nation, the manufacturer of Greenies just announced today that the product will now be offered exclusively through vet hospitals and pet specialty stores. The hard treats help reduce plaque and tartar buildup, but some dogs have trouble chewing and properly digesting them . .
St. Patty's Day Treats For Your Four-Legged Friends
Although Samson isn't Irish (obvs), that didn't stop LilPeaPod from making her little guy some special St. Patrick's Day treats to enjoy so he wasn't left out of the celebration fun. She sent in a few photos, and describes how she made the Irish bars with one of my household's favorite ingredients: peanut butter!
Cloud Star Farmstand Slices Send Pups to Cloud Nine
There are so many tempting treats out there for pets, but it's tricky when we're drawn to ones we'd want to eat ourselves based on looks . . .
Real Meat Treats Not "Meat-Flavored"
If Samson even knew what I was writing about, I bet his lil mouth would be watering – after all, he totally loved those wild-salmon yummies! Similarly, these healthy dog treats all feature a first ingredient that's surely also number one on your dog's list: meat. Each variety features three skinny layers of codfish (rich in vitamins A and D and omega 3s and 6s) and two thick ones of actual meat blended with sweet potatoes (high in potassium).
Pampered Pals: Petit Four Legs
OK, OK, I've got a sweet tooth. I could pass up fries or other savory snack, but show me a cupcake or some ice cream . .
Do Tell: Would You Feed Your Pet a Free Sample?
Last week a Sugar staffer left me this sample she was handed on her way to work. Sadly, it's not for dogs since North is always up for a taste test, but it got me thinking about our pets with sensitive tummies. Since my pooch is healthy, has no allergies, and loves eating even food I don't give him, I would totally mix in a trial product .
Growing Up Samson: Making Neighborhood Friends
Sugar staffer LilPeaPod has a usual route for Samson's daily potty walks – she heads over to a small patch of grass nestled a few blocks from her apartment. And since Samson is so darn cute (and totally irresistible), it seems he's found himself a few friends along the way:
Every day at lunch I take Samson on his usual potty walk route. We walk by a few shops on the way, but there is one salon in particular that Samson has taken a shine to.
Growing Up Samson: Training With Simon and Huey Treats
Training a puppy is one thing I can't say that I miss. It can be very time consuming and takes some serious dedication just to get your pup to "sit," "lie down" and "stay"! And don't even get me started on potty training!
