Savvy moms and dads already know that wholesale clubs are convenient and a real money-saver when it comes to buying grocery items, gas and home goods, but what you might not know is that BJ’s Wholesale Club also offers products that help us take care of some very special family members…our pets!

BJ’s recently sponsored an exciting giveaway for our readers, and since there was quite a bit of interest, we thought we’d tell you more about the exclusive Berkley Jensen line of pet food and treats, available only at BJ’s Wholesale Club locations.

In addition to being affordable, Berkley Jensen pet food and treats are made from high quality ingredients and come in several varieties for dogs, cats and birds. Some of the highlights of their food and treats for dogs include:

Berkley Jensen All Natural Grain Free Duck and Vegetables Holistic Recipe for Dogs

This premium dog food gets a 5-Star rating from DogFoodAdvisor.com and duck is the first ingredient in this all natural recipe, ensuring dogs receive the protein they need with no fillers or by-products. We love that the holistic recipe is fully-balanced, providing complete nutrition focused on canine’s needs.

Berkley Jensen Nutrient Blend Grain-Free Large Breed Turkey and Pea Dry Dog Food

If you’ve got a large breed dog, you know they have specific nutritional needs, and this dry dog food was designed especially with big dogs in mind. It starts with real turkey as the first ingredient to ensure dogs receive the key amino acids they need to thrive. The recipe contains absolutely no corn, wheat or soy to create a nutrient rich-recipe packed with usable proteins for your dog. These ingredients are mixed with fruits and vegetables like blueberries and spinach to provide a complete nutrient profile to ensure overall health and well being. Lastly, a unique nutrient blend of key vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants is added to ensure your dog is healthy on the inside and radiant looking on the outside.

Berkley Jensen All Natural Canned Chicken Dinner Holistic Recipe for Dogs

Canned dog food can be a great way to add texture and flavor to your dog’s feeding routine. We like that this super premium holistic recipe contains bsolutely no corn, wheat, soy or by-products. As with all Berkley Jensen pet food, it comes with a 100% money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk-free.

Berkley Jensen Medium Dog Biscuits

These aren’t just any ordinary dog biscuits, these are 6.6 lbs of premium, gravy coated dog treats in three flavors: chicken, bacon and lamb. In addition to being a tasty treat, they’re also fortified with vitamins and minerals, and they help reduce tartar and clean your dog’s teeth while they chew.

Berkley Jensen Chicken Jerky Dog Chews

If you treat your dog to chicken jerky, you should be aware of how and where the treats are made. These are 100% raised and made in the USA. Cooked on open grilling racks to reduce fat and give them a delicious flavor, these treats are made for dogs of all sizes.

In addition to their exclusive line of Berkley and Jensen pet food and treats, BJ’s also carries a wide variety of pet products including flea and tick prevention, accessories, dog beds and crates, plus pet travel gear and more.

Turn Your Dog’s Bath Time Into a Spa Day

Some dogs love getting a bath. Daisy is not one of those dogs. In fact Daisy dreads bath time so much that we’ve had to come up with some special tricks and treats to make it more fun and relaxing for her and for us. Since this often takes a bit of time and patience, I like to plan ahead and schedule her dog bath for when I’m not in a rush and I know there won’t be a lot of distractions. We treat it like a spa day.

If you’d like to treat your dog to a spa day, here are some tips:

Set the mood with pet-friendly spa scents, a pre-bath dog treat and some mood lighting.

Set the mood with the right lighting, either with candles (flameless are safest around pets) or by dimming the lights. I also have treats handy and like to spray the shower curtain and rug with a bit of pet-safe fragrance spray.

The treats for this spa day are grain-free Beef Jerky Bites from Isle of Dogs. They’re made with grass-fed beef along with green lipped mussels; a luxurious spa snack if you ask me! The spray is Violet and Sea Mist Repláscent, also from Isle of Dogs. It’s an odor neutralizer that is safe to use on and around dogs. It smells so lovely that I’ve been using it in my car and closet.

Choose the right grooming supplies for your dog.

We’re using Silky Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner from the NaturaLuxury Collection. Daisy has sensitive skin so we love that it’s free from sulfate and paraban, and that it’s mild and gentle. The oatmeal and Jojoba help soothe dry skin and give Daisy’s fur a nice, soft feel. The scent is a very light jasmine and vanilla. Just right and not perfume-y at all.

The conditioner is from the same collection and is the first dog conditioner we’ve tried. Using this conditioner helps to loosen up the old, shedded hair that gets caught up in a dog’s coat. It helps make the brushing process much easier and reduces tangles. Daisy has very short, thin hair so this really helps protect and moisturize both the skin and hair. Can’t have a spa day without a good conditioner treatment!

Talk or sing to your dog during their bath

I sing and talk to my dog all the time, but she still sometimes gives me the head tilt like I’m asking her a very important question. She really takes advantage of spa day for all the extra treats and attention, and I can’t blame her. A girl needs some extra pampering from time to time.

SMILE…your almost done!

Drying off and running around full zoomy-style is Daisy’s favorite part of bath time. She has her own set of big fluffy beach towels and loves a good rub down after a bath or rainy day walk. Do all dogs get the zoomies after they get wet? She goes crazy.

Schedule some lounging and nap time

Nothing is nicer after a long bath and some zoomies, than settling in for a nap. Although Daisy sleeps in our bed at night, she has her own cozy den especially for napping. I use the Violet and Sea Mist Repláscent on her bedding and the rug to help keep the area smelling fresh. I’m so happy with this scent that I’m already planning to order more in a few of the other fragrances!

August BarkBox Review + Coupon (Total Eclipse Edition)

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Not only is BarkBox the most popular subscription box service for dogs, it’s also out of this world…especially this month! The August BarkBox theme was Invasion of the Space Squirrels and that was perfect to go with this week’s spectacular solar eclipse. In addition to 2 amazing dog toys and 3 tasty dog treats, the BarkBox also included some Canine-O-Vision space glasses. Special glasses so your dog could watch the total eclipse of the sun? Not exactly, but I’ll get to later.

We hope you’ll stay for our monthly BarkBox review, but if you’re just here for the BarkBox coupon code, scroll straight down to the end and find out how to snag a FREE BarkBox with any order of 1 month or longer!

Daisy’s been getting her BarkBox deliveries for several years now, and it’s still something we always look forward to! Each month we show you what toys and treats are inside that month’s BarkBox, and how the total value of the individual items compares to the price of a monthly subscription.

Be aware that each BarkBox subscription is customized for your dog’s size and allergies, so individual items will vary. Here’s what we got in her August Space-Themed BarkBox:

August BarkBox Dog Treats

Double Pork Apple Bar ($3 retail value) We get super excited whenever Daisy gets Etta Says! dog treats in her BarkBox. They are always full of crunchy, meaty goodness and this time we got double the yum with 2 crunch bars of pork and apple. One to enjoy now, and one to save for later.

Astro Bacon Dog Treats ($6 retail value) Everyone loves bacon, even aliens! These tasty treats have bacon blended with pork stock and molasses in an oat-and-brown rice batter to create a chewy, smoky snack. Wheat-free and all-natural.

Koha Jerky Bites ($8 retail value) These wild game flavor dog treats are a blend of pork liver and venison. Their grain-free, and only 4 calories per treat. We like the small size of these for pocket treats and training rewards.

August BarkBox Dog Toys

Mighty Mort Space Squirrel Dog Toy ($12 retail value) Born on Planet Squirrelion, this cute guy is full of squeaks and fun. He’s got a long furry tail that’s ideal for shredding and thrashing, and four tentacles that are perfect for a pup who loves to fetch and carry their alien pal while they play.

Pup and Away! Spaceship Dog Toy ($12 retail value) This toy is perfect for fetching and a game of tug, thanks to the rope at the end.  Daisy’s been having a blast flinging it around and chasing it when we launch it into orbit.

I’d mentioned that this month’s BarkBox included a very special pair of glasses. Since everyone we know has been hunting to find a pair of eclipse glasses, that’s what I first thought when I saw them. The info card explained that these special glasses are actually decoder glasses and that the paper in the box is encoded with some special messages.

“Look at the paper with the Canine-O-Vision glasses to decode the epic battle of Star-Pup vs Space Squirrel!”

I love the clever extras and attention to detail that the BarkBox folks come up with each month and this is a great example!

BarkBox Cost and Value

By our calculation, this month’s BarkBox had $41 worth of dog toys and treats if you were to purchase them all separately. That’s a great value when you consider that subscription prices start at $21/month with free US shipping. In addition to saving money, we also love the WOW-factor and excitement of getting a new delivery of surprises each month. It’s a chance to discover new dog treats and toys that we might not have known about otherwise.

Want to see what was in this month’s BarkBox subscription box for dogs?

This month’s theme is ” A Lick In Wonderland” based on Alice in Wonderland, complete with whimsical toys and wag-worthy treats. As with most boxes, this one contained 3 full-size treats and 2 unique dog toys. Here’s the run down along with the retail price of each item if purchased separately:

July BarkBox Dog Treats

  • Etta Says! Rabbit Chew ($3 retail value) Alice fell down the rabbit hole, or at least that’s how the story goes. Whatever happened, Daisy loves the real meat sticks that often arrive with her monthly BarkBox. Odorless and easy to digest. Made from USDA inspected, all-American rabbit, farm raised in the USA.
  • Queen of Barks Dog Treats ($6 retail value) These wheat-free cheese dog treats are made in the USA and are baked with rich, creamy cheddar. Daisy LOVES cheese!
  • Queen of Hearts: Pork and Beets Treats ($6 retail value) Delectable treats from our pals at Red Fox. Made in the USA without wheat, corn, or soy, you can feel good about giving your pup all of the deliciousness without the worry about weird preservatives, oddball dyes, or wacky fillers. Nibble-sized, which makes them great to use as a training treat!
July BarkBox Toys

  • Fetchshire Cat Dog Toy ($12 retail value) This big cat is grinning just like the Cheshire Cat from the storybook, but this is double stuffed with water bottle material for crinkle noise AND beads that rattle. Daisy has been playing with this non-stop and I was concerned about the beads but was happy to learn that they are made of stomach-safe corn starch, so even if she rips the thing open, we don’t have to worry. Super smart!
  • The Wag Hatter ($10 retail value) This dog toy is a hat just like the one worn by the Mad Hatter! Daisy would rather eat her hat than wear it, and this one is super FUN with both a giant squeaker and crinkle filling.

BarkBox Cost and Value

By our calculation, this month’s BarkBox had $37 worth of dog toys and treats if you were to purchase them all separately. While a bit lower than most months, it’s still a great value when you consider that subscription prices start at $21/month with free US shipping. In addition to saving money, we also love the WOW-factor and excitement of getting a new delivery of surprises each month. It’s a chance to discover new dog treats and toys that we might not have known about otherwise.
