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: Monthly Box of Yum and Fun for Dogs and Cats {Review + 20% Discount!}

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!

Freezy Pups Frozen Dog Treat Kit {Product Review}

Freezy Pups Kit Product Review

Just in time for the dog days of summer, we got the chance to try out Freezy Pups,  a make-at-home kit of organic, frozen dog treats. Freezy Pups come in 4 flavors: Chicken Soup Recipe, White Cheddar Cheese, Juicy Apple and Sweet Potato ‘n Maple. Not only are the super fun and easy to make, but they are also less than 4 calories each. These cool treats are free from wheat, corn, soy and gluten, and contain NO artificial colors or flavors.

Freezy Pups Kit

The Freezy Pups Kit is $19.99 and comes with a Freezy Pups Tray and 4 packs of organic treat mix (one in each flavor; each pack makes one tray). The entire kit is enough to make 56 treats and refill packs are available at the Freezy Pup website for $8.99 per box (makes 70 treats). The first step is to mix a packet with 7 oz. of hot water. If you don’t have a measuring cup that shows ounces, it works out to 7/8 of a Cup. Then just stir.

After mixing, you pour the liquid into the Freezy Pup Tray (I found it easiest to use my Pyrex measuring cup for the whole thing since I could measure, mix and pour from the same container).

Then it’s ready to go into the freezer. Our first batch was the Sweet Potato ‘n Maple, in case you were wondering! We did this in the evening so they would be ready the next day!

After a few hours the tray of bone-shaped frozen treats is ready to go! A great tip that the makers of Freezy Pups were smart enough to print right on the package is: For easy removal of treats, let the tray rest on the counter for about 4 minutes. That sure does the trick, and they popped right out for us! Here they are up close so you can see how they come out:

In addition to LOVING the treats in their frozen form, Daisy also enjoys when I melt 1 or 2 and mix it with her dry kibble like gravy! She loves all 4 flavor, and I like the fact that they are made with organic, natural ingredients!  These are some of the COOLEST treats we’ve tried and are officially Daisy Tested and Approved!

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

With Memorial Day Weekend comes barbecues, parties and the unofficial start of summer! Three Dog Bakery has just whipped up a new batch of Summer Treats for dogs and we were lucky enough to be among the first to try them!

Hot off the Three Dog Bakery Grill are the new Bark-B-Q Miniature Bones, As with everything from Three Dog Bakery, they are All-Natural, and Made in the USA, so you can feel good about treating your pup with them! These little biscuits are the perfect size for a quick little snack or to keep in your pocket for a surprise treat on the go. They have a mild smokey scent and flavor…so your pup won’t feel left out while YOU are enjoying your BBQ! I try to always make Daisy work for her treats (no free lunch!), or use them to practice and reinforce skills she already knows. Here’s Daisy patiently practicing “wait” while I hold some Bark-B-Q Bones in front of her:

And no Summer Pawty would be complete without watermelon! Fresh from the Three Dog Bakery Garden are Wag-amelon Wafers! These oven baked dog cookies are made with real watermelon flavor, a little honey and molasses plus other all-natural ingredients to create one sweet treat! I taste just about everything that Daisy is invited to sample (if I wouldn’t eat it, why would I give it to her!?!) and these are amazing.  They smell and taste fruity…just like watermelon! I’m glad Daisy can’t count because I’ve stolen more than a couple of her Wag-amelon cookies when she wasn’t looking! Here’s Daisy getting a bed time snack! She’s never too sleepy for a cookie! Sorry the photo is so dark but I realized I needed to get a quick photo before all the cookies were gone!
