Grandma Lucy's Pet Food & Treats Review & Giveaway!

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic day! We are super excited because we have a new review to share with you. We were asked by Grandma Lucy's to review some of their treats and do a giveaway!

Grandma Lucy's is a fantastic family owned and operated business that started around 16 years ago when Lucy, the owner's 11 year old English Cocker Spaniel, became extremely picky about what she would eat. She had developed food allergies that prevented her from eating just any treat. They tried a lot of treats on the market but Lucy wouldn't eat any of them. After doing a lot of research and numerous conversations with veterinarians and pet nutritionists, they began to home cook Lucy’s meals and treats. Surprisingly for a dog that had become very picky, she loved her home cooked meals and treats. The next step seemed natural, they wanted to be able to share their healthy food and treats with other pet owners!

Grandma Lucy’s was one of the first companies to introduce 100% human-grade pet treats to the pet food market! The company uses only human-grade ingredients from trusted restaurant suppliers, most of their meat is sourced in the USA and there are no ingredients from China. If it is not good enough for human’s to eat, it will never be included in their food or treats – Grandma Lucy’s pets eat better than people!

Grandma Lucy's "nose-licking" good freeze dried Chicken Singles is the first treat that the girls tried! Phoenix was super excited about them and couldn't wait! These treats are a single ingredient treat. They are made from 100% USA sourced chicken. They can be fed to both dogs and cats, which is a huge plus for me since we have both!

If your dog has a problem with chicken, the singles line has other proteins which include: Liver, Pork, Ocean White Fish, Tuna and Sweet Potatoes.

100% USA sourced Chicken
Hormone and Antibiotic-Free

Single Protein Source
No By-Products or Preservatives

All Natural

Grain-Free

GMO-Free

Made in California 

Both Zoe and Phoencix really liked these treats! They consider them to be high value and they worked really hard to get them. These treats would make an excellent training treat, they break up easily. Since they are freeze dried there was a little bit of crumbling but it didn't make too big of a mess.

The next treats we tried are the oven baked Organic Banana & Sweet Potato these treats are made with 100% USDA certified organic, human-quality ingredients in Grandma Lucy's bakery! Bananas are high in potassium making them good for the heart, kidneys, bones and nervous system. Sweet Potatoes are a great source of dietary fiber, rich in potassium, and high in antioxidants. They are also an excellent source of Beta Carotene, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. There are no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners and the treats are free of hydrogenated oils and trans fats

They also offer: Pumpkin, Blueberry, Cranberry, Apple, Peach and Coconut in their organic oven baked line.

Ingredients: Organic Wheat Flour, Organic Dehydrated Cane Juice, Organic Sunflower and/or Organic Canola Oil and/or Organic Palm Oil, Organic Brown Sugar, Organic Cane Juice Syrup, Organic Banana Powder, Organic Sweet Potato Powder, Organic Vanilla Extract, Organic Cinnamon, Soy Lecithin.

The girls really loved these treats too! These treats kind of remind me of animal crackers. They smell really good and break apart easily. There was some crumbling with them but it didn't bother me. I could use these as a bedtime treat or even for rewarding simple trained behaviors.

Overall the girls liked both of the treats we tried from Grandma Lucy's. I would definitely try other flavors and I would get these again! We would recommend checking Grandma Lucy's out and giving them a try with your pets!

ZoePhee is partnering with Grandma Lucy's and hosting a giveaway! One of our lucky readers from the US will receive the treats we tried! Enter by following the directions on the giveaway widget. The giveaway is open to residents in the US age 18 or older. I will run the giveaway for about a week and I will contact the randomly selected winner by email.

Keeping My Dogs Busy with Chews from Raw Paws!

Phoenix loves bully sticks!

Do your dogs follow you from room to room? Maybe you are busy trying to survive the great snow apocalypse and your dog is bored out of her mind? Winter is here and the potential to get stir crazy with all this horrible weather is pretty high! My dogs hate the cold and they dislike being wet even more. Forget about taking them out for very long in bad weather. It's just unpleasant for everyone. When that happens, I need to find a way to keep my dogs busy for a while. I was so excited when Raw Paws contacted me to ask me if I'd like to review some items from their store. We were sent our chews in exchange for an honest review.

Zoe enjoys her Beef Braided Esophagus

 

Beef Braided Esophagus

The Beef Braided Esophagus is a soft "chewy" sort of chew. This was our first time trying this sort of treat and the girls really liked them!

These treats come in a pack of three and they are 12" long. They are sourced from USDA inspected beef and they are appropriate for dogs of any age. They are soft so they can be cut up into smaller pieces!

Phoenix enjoys her Jumbo Bully Stick!

Bully Sticks 6" Jumbo

Wow! They are not kidding when they said jumbo! These bully sticks are huge and they are probably the biggest ones we've ever gotten! Bully sticks are one of our favorite chews around here and they are a great alternative to rawhide because unlike rawhide, bully sticks are 100% digestible. Phoenix can't have any rawhide because she has a very sensitive GI tract and rawhide really isn't that great for dogs anyways. The bully sticks are awesome, the dogs love them and they last a really long time. It took Phoenix around an hour to finish hers and it took Zoe about an hour and a half! I also love giving bully sticks to the dogs for the added benefit of helping keep their teeth clean.

The bully sticks come in packs of 2 or 5. They are a single ingredient treat and are made from free range, grass fed beef. There are no added hormones or any antibiotics and they are grain free. The bully sticks are supposed to be low odor but the ones we got are very stinky. The smell was really bad but the dogs love them so much that it was worth it.

Zoe chows down on a Beef Braided Esophagus!

Both of the girls loved their chews from Raw Paws and they did not have any tummy issues after having them. I am incredibly impressed by the bully sticks and how long they kept my dogs busy. I would totally get both of these again!

Raw Paws has a huge selection of food, treats and chews. I would recommend checking them out!

Sojos Simply Lamb Dog Treats

Zoe says, "Let's get this party started!"

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic Tuesday! It's time for our monthly chewy.com review! If you didn't know, Chewy.com is an awesome company that ships all of your favorite pet products right to your door! They have amazing customer service and their shipping is incredibly fast. They are one of our favorite companies! We received our treats as part of the chewy.com blogger program in exchange for an honest review.

This month we are reviewing Sojos Simply Lamb, these treats are a single ingredient treat made with 100% human grade lamb. Zoe and Phoenix were very excited when Mr. N was kind enough to share some of his with them on our walk last week and they were even more excited when they realized they had their own bag!

The treats are:

• Made from 100% raw freeze-dried lamb
• Perfect for training & rewarding
• Made with natural, human-quality ingredients
• No artificial preservatives
• No artificial flavors or colors
• Made in the USA

 Ingredients: Lamb

I've been using these treats for training and the dogs have been having a blast doing their tricks for them! The girls consider these to be high value, so they work extra hard to get them! The treats break apart easily and the only down side is that they are a tad bit greasy, which is sort of weird for freeze dried but that's okay! Zoe and Phoenix really liked these and I would definitely get them again! I would recommend checking out Sojos Simply Lamb and if your pooch doesn't like lamb they have several other proteins available! They also come in turkey, beef, venison, salmon and boar!

ZoePhee was provided with a bag of Sojos Simply Lamb from Chewy.com in exchange for an honest review through their blogger program. We were not monetarily compensated and all opinions are my own. Chewy.com is not responsible for the content of this blog post.

Busy Buddy Puppy Twist 'n Treat Dog Toy on Cyber Monday!

Hi everyone! It's Cyber Monday and I decided it would be the perfect day to do our monthly chewy.com review! Chewy.com is an awesome company who ships all of your favorite pet products right to your door! They have amazing customer service and their shipping is incredibly fast. They are one of our favorite companies! We received our toy as part of the chewy.com blogger program in exchange for an honest review.

Today we are reviewing the Busy Buddy Puppy Twist 'n Treat Dog Toy in the medium size. I'm a huge fan of puzzle toys and my dogs really like them, too so this was the perfect choice for this month's chewy review. 

Sorry the toy is dusty.. I put white crumbly treats that are messy in it.

The toy unscrews and you can fill it with treats, dog food or even cream cheese or peanut butter (be sure to check and make sure your peanut butter does not contain xylitol). Then you screw it back together and you can make the toy easier or harder depending on how tight you screw it. 

The dog has to paw at it and nudge it with their nose to get the treats to fall out!

Zoe liked playing with this toy with peanut butter inside!

My dogs had a great time playing with this food toy. It kept them busy for a while and I really like that you can make it easier or harder depending on how tight you screw it. 

The toy is dishwasher safe and comes in three sizes: medium, small and extra small. 

The toy is marketed towards puppies or dogs with a soft mouth so if your dog is a heavy chewer, this might not be the toy for him/her. 

I like that the toy easy to fill and easily cleaned. I would recommend checking it out.

Do your dogs like puzzle toys?

Merrick "Jerky Chips" Review

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having an awesome day! It's time for our monthly chewy.com review! If you didn't know, chewy.com is an amazing company that ships your favorite pet products right to your door! They have amazing customer service and their shipping is incredibly fast. We are frequent customers! Today we are reviewing Merrick "Jerky Chip Treats" and we got the Salmon and Potato Recipe. If salmon is not your dog's favorite, they have a bunch of different protein options, like chicken and beef, too! 

About Jerky Chip Treats:
Merrick Jerky Chip Treats are oven-baked, all-natural dog cookie treats filled with protein-packed jerky chips as the first ingredient, made from real deboned chicken, beef, lamb, or salmon. Unlike many dog treats, Merrick Jerky Chip Treats are grain-free and gluten-free with no corn, soy or wheat. And, like all Merrick food and treats, Merrick Jerky Chip Treats are made in the USA with no ingredients from China. 
 

Ingredients: Deboned Salmon, Deboned Beef, Dried Potatoes, Peas, Garbanzo Beans, Tapioca Starch, Pea Fiber, Olive Oil, Dried Carrots, Brown Sugar, Whey Protein Concentrate, Dried Apples, Caramel Color, Gelatin, Yogurt Powder, Salt, Dried Lemon Peel, Cultured Skim Milk Powder, Mixed Tocopherols (a preservative). 

These treats are a biscuit like consistency. They sort of reminded me of chocolate chip cookies. They have an interesting odor, they sort of smell like potato chips. Since they are a biscuit, they do crumble a little bit when they are broken apart. Luckily, I have two helpers who are very eager to clean up the crumbs. They break apart easily, which is great because these treats are huge! The girls really liked them!

Zoe's Gotcha Day Feast!

If you missed it, yesterday was Zoe's 4th Gotcha Day! 

Unfortunately, I had an accident on Sunday. I fell down this hill at my apartment complex and got pretty banged up Apparently it was really slippery there! Yikes.

I had so many plans to celebrate Zoe's day but I was too sore to actually do any of them. I was going to take her hiking and then shopping to get a bunch of goodies. Once I'm able to move again, we'll celebrate. I was feeling really bad about not having anything for her so my husband and I made them Pupcakes with peanut butter as the frosting. To say the Pupcakes were a hit would be a massive understatement. They were so excited about them that they were pretty much gone as quickly as we set them down! Luckily I managed to get a few hilarious photos!

 

The girls were really happy with Zoe's Gotcha Day Feast! It was super fun and easy to make. We used whole grain pancake mix and cooked it with their coconut oil. Probably not the healthiest snack ever but it was fun and it's only one day!

Happy Tasty Tuesday everyone!
