As you probably already know if you’ve been following our blog, Daisy is a rescue dog. Here she is the day we adopted her from the shelter and brought her home to be part of our family! Causes that help shelter animals are near and dear to my heart. Did you know that nearly 4 million dogs face homelessness each year in the US?!? Pedigree is in their third year of sponsoring a terrific program to help, called Write a Post, Help a Dog!
Whether you have a pet blog, or ANY kind of blog, you can help shelter dogs by writing a post. With each post, Pedigree will donate a 17-pound bag of dry food to a shelter. You have until midnight ET on Saturday, June 30 to write your post. It can be a Wordless Wednesday photo post, a personal story about your own experience with dog adoption, or a quick info post about the program. Doing so will generate another 17 pound food donation for shelter dogs in need. Just make sure you add the direct link to your post to the Linky below so your post is counted!
And if you don’t have a blog, you can still help shelter dogs by sharing this post with as many people as possible! Use the Share the Love buttons to help spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ so other bloggers know how they can help, too! Also follow the #DogsRule hashtag on Twitter!
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!
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!
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.

Ingredients:
Bake on the middle rack on a lined cookie sheet for 20 minutes. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it stand on the counter for 15 minutes before cutting into 1 inch slices. HINT: Use a serrated knife.
After cutting, put the pieces back on the cookie sheet, return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until you have a crispy cookie. Remove from oven and let cool. For a seriously crunch worthy snack, turn the oven off and leave the cookies to dry in the oven for a few hours. Keep the cookies in a sealed container on the counter for a week. If you only have one or two pups, or did not make them super crunchy, it is suggested that you refrigerate.
