Here is what we thought!

Now Pooch & Mutt are already a favourite in my household, we reviewed their calm & relaxed dry dog food here back in April and it went down so well with our frenchies so I was really excited to try out the treat versions.

Each cannister in the photo above contains approximately 150 mini bones and totals 125g in weight. The calm & relaxed variety include lamb, chamomile and l-tryptophan among their ingredients which help aid relaxation and are perfect to give your pet before stressful situations like a visit to the vet or a car journey. 

As predicted Miley really liked these and I did feel that she behaved better in the car than normal, sitting patiently rather than wanting to get up and run around causing chaos!

Next let's talk about the appropriately named Tastybone, which is one of the fanciest bones I think have ever graced our household! The flavour we received is chicken cordon bleu and from their gourmet range. The bone is completely edible and safe to ingest and has the benefit of satisfying their instinct to chew, making their teeth stronger and gums healthier. 

I love the way that the bone is packaged and positioned as a luxury, gourmet treat and I get a very premium feel for the product. I gave this one to Frank to try out and he has been going at it enthusiastically for a few days now and still looking strong. I looked online and there look to be venison, duck, beef wellington and pheasant varieties which sound great and I will have to try out with my little buddies in the future!

Lastly, we have another bone, but completely different to the one before. The Beco bone is made from natural rubber and rice husk with a tough and bouncy texture. It is a toy designed for your dog to chew on and play with but can also be used to store treats inside as an added bonus. Interestingly the bone is vanilla scented which I thought was really nice and all four of my french bulldogs have played with it and really like it, sniffing and chewing it loads and they go crazy when I put treats inside!

I hope this fab selection gives you some food for thought next time you are browsing for fun things for your doggies. 

Thanks for reading!

Old Mother Hubbard Baking Co

Hey Everyone!

I hope you all having an amazing weekend.

Today I am going to share a review on behalf of my little friends of an all natural, wheat free dog snack brand called Old Mother Hubbard which has recently launched in the UK at Pets At Home. 

The company have a great back story which dates back to over 80 years ago when their classic recipe was originally a snack for fisherman while at sea. One day a sailor threw a biscuit to his dog who happily gobbled it up and that was the start of Old Mother Hubbard!

We were kindly sent two varieties to try out and review, the Chick'n'Apples *and the Liv'r'Crunch* oven-baked dog biscuits. I was really drawn to the wheat free and natural aspects so couldn't wait to see how they went down.

We were also sent a little surprise in the form of this adorable treat jar personalised for Miley which I was really touched by, it was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture and I was really surprised.

As you can see, two volunteers very quickly put themselves forwards for the taste tests. 

I fed both Sadie and Lexi a couple of each by hand and they seemed to really like them and kept pestering me for more! The feeding guidelines advise that the biscuits are intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding so I've been giving them out treats between the four of them. They have come to recognise the packets so they know when to come running over which is so funny to watch when they are all together and running round in a pack!

Old Mother Hubbard also do other lines within their range such as the Mothers Solutions which have biscuits for fresh breath, low fat and hips&joints. I'm really keen to try the fresh breath as I find it really difficult to find minty snacks that my dogs actually like, I'll report back on what they're like once we give them a go.

I would definitely recommend Old Mother Hubbard from my experience I've had, if you would like to check them out you can do so online at http://www.omhpet.co.uk/ and their products are exclusively available at Pets At Home so you can also pop in store or order online.

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if there are any particular pet product reviews you would like to see in the future by leaving me a comment below.

Thanks for reading.
