Let’s face it…no one likes picking up dog poop. It’s one of those things we have to do as responsible pet parents. Dog poop is stinky, it spreads germs and NO ONE wants to accidentally step in it! In addition to the hassles of bending and stooping to scoop the poop, there is also the issue of the poop bag. There’s the worry about accidentally putting a finger through it (been there, done that) and plastic bags are wasteful and most aren’t biodegradable either. Plus, poop bags aren’t cheap. You could easily spend $75 or more a year on them. And then where to dispose of the poop bag. Can’t put it in the regular trash…too stinky.

All-in-all the whole picking up poop situation stinks! Thank goodness for AuggieDog – a new power yard tool for dog owners! The AuggieDog puts an end to all the things we hate about picking up poop: no bending or stooping, no scooping and NO wasteful plastic bags. Take a sec to watch this quick YouTube Video and you’ll easily understand how it works and why AuggieDog was a recent Award Winner at the 2012 Global Pet Expo:

As you can tell from the video, it’s so easy to use that you can probably get your kids to do it! Imagine how helpful the AuggieDog would be for homes with a large yard, families with multiple dogs, or for volunteers who help out with chores at the local rescue organization or shelter!

Pretty cool, huh? Here’s 5 More Reasons to Love AuggieDog:
    • Pick up dog poop with a click of a button
    • Eliminate the need for bags (environmentally friendly)
    • Built in light for late night walks

Rachael Ray Nutrish Naturally Delish

Daisy was recently invited to try out Rachael Ray Nutrish Naturally Delish dog food and we are super excited to tell you all about it! As regular readers know, we are huge fans of Rachael Ray! Not only is she sweet and relatable, but she is also an avid supporter of animal causes. All the proceeds from her dog food line, Nutrish, go to support Rachael’s Rescue – a charity that helps animals in need.

In addition to our girl crush on Rachael Ray, Daisy was also thrilled at the opportunity to have some wet dog food. We generally stick with dry kibble and reserve everything else for special occasions. As you can see, Daisy knew she was in for a treat and was eager to get to work on taste-testing!

Pawalla Boxes for Dogs and Cats

Regular readers know that Daisy LOVES to try new treats, foods and toys, but buying individual items at retail store prices can get pricey.  So we were thrilled when we were invited to try Pawalla, a monthly service that sends a box of 6 or more full-size items, at a great low price, to lucky dogs and cats across the US! When you signup, you receive a monthly mystery box of all-natural foods and treats plus a great toy or other surprise that have all been hand-picked based on the size and age of your fur kid.

When our box arrived, Daisy couldn’t wait to figure out how to get into it! I couldn’t believe how huge the box was! I’m a fan of mystery boxes and I can tell you that this one is larger than many I’ve seen! Once open, it was just about impossible to get photos before Daisy nosed her way in and started poking around. It was like Christmas in July (and once again confirms Daisy’s theory that the UPS man works for HER).

In addition to being nicely packaged, I really liked the product descriptions and details on the large fact sheet that was included. It’s fun to get a big box of stuff, but it’s important to me that I know about where the products come from and what ingredients are used before giving new food or treats to Daisy. To their credit, Pawalla uses holistic and all-natural products selected by their own personal Pet Nutritionist, Dr. Susan Lauten.  And everything we received was made in the USA!

There are 2 ways to join and start receiving your own box of yum and fun from Pawalla: The  Monthly Subscription option bills you monthly and you can cancel any time ($26/month) or The Annual Subscription which is billed once a year and is discounted to give you 2 months free ($21/month). Either way, you’ll receive a Pawalla Box featuring a selection of delicious wet foods, treats, supplements, and more, hand-picked by their pet nutritionist based on the size and age of your pet.  Shipping is always free, and whether you have an annual or monthly subscription, you can cancel at any time.

Because Daisy likes to share her favorite things with her pals and fans, we’re passing along a special discount exclusively for Woof Woof Mama readers! Get 20% Off your first month’s order when you use Pawalla Coupon Code: WOOFWOOF. Just start at Pawalla.com and answer the questions about your dog or cat as you complete the quick and easy customized signup!

Remember, Pawalla offers monthly boxes for both dogs AND cats! And the food and nutritional products are all-natural and selected by their pet nutritionist. If you are curious, you can take a sneak peek inside a Pawalla Box for Cats and scope out the contents of a Pawalla Box for Dogs here!

Clear Conscience Pet Treats – Made in USA from Sustainable Family Farms {Product Review}

June 24, 2012

Clear Conscience Pet Treats

Like most dogs, Daisy wants treats…can’t blame a dog for that! She also can be a picky eater and tends to have a sensitive tummy. As a good mama, it’s my job to care about where her treats come from, what ingredients are used and how they are made. Not only do I care about her food and treats being safe and healthy, but I also prefer to support small businesses and farmers when I shop for myself and my family. So I was very excited when Clear Conscience Pet invited us to try 3 of their pet products!

Clear Conscience not only makes all of their products in the USA, but they also pledge that ingredients are 100% humanely sourced from sustainable family farms. This means that livestock sources used in their treats are free to graze on range or pasture lands, and are raised without any growth hormones, steroids or antibiotics. They also insure that their products are grain-free, GMO-free and gluten-free as well as free from artificial or synthetic ingredients. With a mission like that, it’s no wonder that Clear Conscience Pet has been selected as a winner of the 2012 Pet Age Green Spirit Award!

The first product we tried was SuperGravy. This all-natural superfood powder in Bison and Beef Recipe is made with picky eaters or low-appetite dogs in mind. It makes any pet food taste better and enhances nutrition. It can be mixed with water in a separate container and poured over dry kibble but since I like to do things the easy way, I chose to just sprinkle the SuperGravy Powder directly on Daisy’s dry kibble and then add some water to the food bowl. Daisy scarfed down her food so fast that she almost tipped over her bowl! I’m hoarding this for those times when she isn’t feeling so great and needs to eat but doesn’t have an appetite. This actually is a problem we have from time to time although she’s getting better about it, so I like having something on hand to entice her to eat if she starts skipping meals. This dry powder is so much more convenient that opening a whole can of wet food just to put a spoonful on her kibble!

SuperGravy

Daisy also tried the Lamb Airy Bites. These cube-shaped treats are made with only 4 ingredients: Lamb lung, organic spinach, organic pumpkin, and organic carrot. The lamb is roasted and then the veggies are made into a SuperVeggie coating! From watching Daisy down these, I can tell you that they are a little crunchy and very easy to eat… and yummy. It was almost impossible to get a photo of her eating one because she kept devouring them so fast that none of the pictures actually show the Airy Bites! The product info describes them as “melt in the mouth delicious”! Here, you can kind of see one before she runs off with it!

Lamb Airy Bites

The third pet treat Daisy sampled was Lamb Trachey Chewz. As weird as it sounds, these are actual lamb trachea, which are a good source of glucosamine and chondroitin as well as high-quality protein. The Trachey Chewz are coated with the same SuperVeggie coating as the Airy Bites but are more chewy. Because they are actual trachea, they are a long hollow tube so they don’t last as long as something like a solid bully stick, but are apparently delicious because after Daisy finished her first one, she went snooping around the kitchen to see if there were more! Since these treats are high in protein and a generous size, we are dolling them out slowly! You can see that Daisy is thoroughly enjoying this one (and also that it’s time for me to trim her nails)!

We are impressed with the line of Clear Conscience Pet Treats.  Not only do I feel good about the sourcing and ingredients used, but they also pass the Daisy test for deliciousness! I’d say these are a great idea for a special treat, or  (if your veterinarian recommends) for dogs who need to increase their nutrient and protein intake. To browse more treats and find a store near you or online retailer, you can visit the Clear Conscience website.

Stay tuned for a chance to Win Clear Conscience Pet Treats during our upcoming giveaway! To be sure you don’t miss it, take a sec and Subscribe to our Daily Email Update here!

Super-Absorbent Soggy Doggy Mats and Shammy Product Review

June 22, 2012
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

dirty daisy

As you’ve probably already seen or read here, Daisy is one dirty dog. She and her boyfriend Fin love swimming and rolling in the dirt, and never let the rain stop them from having a good time. That’s great for her, but dealing with a muddy, wet dog can get to be a drag…even one as cute as Daisy!

Daisy and Fin wet play date

With so much messy outdoor fun to be had, and lots of summer rainstorms and beach trips this time of year, we are super excited to have discovered Soggy Doggy and to bring you this 20% Off Soggy Doggy discount exclusively for readers, followers and fans of Woof Woof Mama & Daisy!

Use Promo Code WOOFWOOF20 when you order, and get 20% off all Soggy Doggy Doormats, Slopmats and Shammys, designed especially for homes and families with dogs!

What makes these products so special? The microfiber chenille material allows the Soggy Doggy Doormats and Super Shammys to soak up water and dirt like a sponge! The doormats absorb 5x more water than regular cotton doormats and the Super Shammy can hold up to 7x its weight in water! The material is exceptionally hard-working and goes right in the washer and dryer! But the chenille also makes it velvety-soft and gentle under delicate paws and bellies.

The Soggy Doggy Shammy has been getting quite a workout already at our place! Papa uses it to dry Daisy after her bath, and after a trip through the washer and dryer, I hang it on the door knob of our front door so it’s always handy if we come home with dirty paws or wet fur.  It has built-in hand pockets for easy wet-dog handling. Here’s Daisy waiting to go out and play again…

Daisy, ready to go out and get dirty again

 

Not only is Daisy a dirty dog, but she can also get pretty enthusiastic about eating and drinking…this means a mess around her feeding area most of the time. Luckily, we also got to try the Soggy Doggy Slopmat. This mat is made from the same super-absorbent material as the shammy and also has a no-slip backing so Daisy’s food bowls don’t slide around the floor while she chows down. I love this because it’s really cut down on the wet and slippery area around her food and water bowls and means less cleaning for me. It’s a much better solution that using a dishtowel and so far I’ve washed the mat a couple of times and it’s in great shape! I let it air dry to save electricity, but the directions say you can machine dry on low if you prefer.

The 3rd product we tested was the Soggy Doggy Doormat. This mat is also machine washable and has the same no-slip backing as the smaller food mat, but is much larger and perfect for the high-traffic entry area at our place. We used to put towels down because every area rug or mat we’ve had just got too dirty and wore out too quickly…or were too hard to clean.  I’m really impressed with how great a job this mat does at trapping all the yuck we track in. And it’s much classier than having towels on the floor. LOL It’s also really cuddly soft and the mat has become one of Daisy’s favorite places to lounge.

Getting the chance to test and review these Soggy Doggy products couldn’t have come at a better time for us with the summer rainy season kicking in down here (although Daisy is pretty good at getting dirty all year). They are officially Daisy Tested and Mama Approved!
