Daisy has been hard at work testing out some new goodies and we’re super excited to tell you about them! As you may know, there have been safety concerns recently about the chicken jerky and treats from some brands that were imported from China, or that were made with sub-par ingredients. This is something I always watch out for carefully and wouldn’t agree to let Daisy try new treats unless they were something I could feel good about.
Things I make certain of before giving Daisy treats: that they are made in the USA and that they are made from natural ingredients. I’m also pretty careful to research the brand carefully if I haven’t heard of them before. Luckily, we were already familiar with the great reputation of the KONG brand when they invited us to try KONG Natural Jerky Premium Dog Treats in both the Beef and Chicken varieties!
What you need to know about KONG Jerky Treats:
- No wheat, corn or soy
- No artificial colors or flavors
- No animal by-products
- Naturally preserved
- Ideal anytime treat, training treat or KONG stuffing
- Made in USA
Daisy tested both the chicken jerky and the beef jerky over the past several days. I’d say that if she had to pick a favorite, it would be the beef, but both disappeared faster than I could photograph! The treats have a real “jerky smell” so that might be part of what makes dogs love them so much. Many dogs won’t have a flavor preference between the two, but some might have a food sensitivity to one or the other, so it’s great that KONG Treats makes both varieties.

Free Dose of Vectra Flea and Tick Control + Win $100 for Your Next Vet Visit!
March 10, 2013

As pet parents, we do everything we can to protect and care for our fur kids. That includes regular visits to the veterinarian, and keeping up with the preventative measures they recommend. When preparing for our vet visits with Daisy, I usually make a list of all the questions and concerns I want to ask her Doc. That helps keep me from worrying about forgetting anything I need to know to keep Daisy healthy and happy! It’s our job as pet parents to do the worrying, so our pets can enjoy the good life.
One very important thing to discuss with your pet’s veterinarian at your next visit is flea and tick control. Not only is this an issue because no one wants itchy fleas to take over their home or put their fur kid through the misery of nasty bites, but fleas can also spread disease and parasites, cause skin infections and more unpleasant-ness. And ticks are known to carry and spread Lyme Disease and other serious illnesses.

Nutrisystem Update Week 21: Big Milestones Accomplished!
March 9, 2013

The hubby and I are super excited about this week’s Nutrisystem update, because we get to share some BIG news with you all! We’ve each reached another major milestone in our weight loss journey…he’s hit the 50 pound mark, and I’ve reached 30! That’s a LOT of LBS lost…but still some to go so we’re staying focused.
In addition to enjoying our success so far, we’re also enjoying a few new menu items this month. It’s important to change things up a bit to keep it interesting, even though I have my favorites and he has his. This month our order included Margherita Pizza, Loaded Baked Potatoes, Risotto and lots more yummy good food we hadn’t tried before.
So far, I’ve lost 30.4 pounds with 13.6 more to go to reach my goal, and hubby has lost 51.8 lbs with only 8.2 more to lose!
We’d love to hear from you about your own weight loss experiences, challenges and goals, so leave a comment and let us know you stopped by. We’re also happy to answer questions, so ask away!
