Summer Jerky Treats @Dogswell

It’s not everyday you come home to a huge box filled with goodies! I received a huge summery box from Dogswell today and I just love it! First of all the packaging and design and colors are oh-so cute! Opening this package, it was one great surprise after another.

This past weekend, our neighborhood dogs and owners got together for a delightful afternoon and I brought Happy Hips Jerky Bars Salmon & Veggies for the puppy portion of the potluck lunch. The millisecond I opened the package, 4 sniffy noses got right up to me!

Human grade treats with 85% salmon, 15% good stuff and 0% bad stuff

The box came with an assortment of Dogswell treats, a meat tenderizing hammer, a lime green silicon spatula, beef jerky for humans and a canvas apron. Amazing!

Dogswell treats is what happy dogs are made of:

@getbarkbox May edition

Our May Barkbox arrived about a week ago but being in the middle of moving we did not get a chance to open it up until we were all settled in. I must say that having all these brand new items did help distract Chino while I opened up boxes, folded clothes and cleaned.

First up we received Bocce’s Bakery treats. This treats are great and are make with all natural human grade ingredients. The ingredient list includes kale, spinach, apples, flax seeds (better than what I eat!). We shared these treats and gifted them to a lucky birthday girl.

Loving Pets treats were also included, they were beefy meaty treats that Chino did enjoy and we also shared these as well. Nothing but great reviews since Chino is a meaty kinda guy.

Barkworthies included a bone this month. This was a lifesaver! Chino ate it completely pretty fast and I had to take away a few odd pieces that were broken off. It did however buy me a bit of time to open up some boxes and put things away. Yay!

Orbee-Tuff toys by Planet Dog sent us an awesome eggplant. I got super excited and it was the first thing Chino ran to when his toy box was set up. The eggplant can be stuffed which I love and it is super bouncy so it keeps Chino on his toes running around.

Are we done now?

@getbarkbox April awesome edition

Our Barkbox arrived on the last day of the month so we are posting April’s box in May.

Nonetheless it was well worth the wait because it was super awesome and filed with LOTS & LOTS of goodies.

First up was Etta Says! Duck Chew & Duck Jerky, Chino being the carnivore he is absolutely loved the chew, I have not gotten to giving him the jerky just yet but the chew was a big hit as it was similar to a bully stick which is his favourite thing ever!

We also received a Barkworthies stuffed shin bone. Chino has not had the pleasure to eat this yet. I am saving it for when I have lots of emails and bookkeeping work to do so that he is entertained while he gets ignored for a couple of hours. It stuffed with beef and rice and looks as though we can refill it again once it has been cleaned.

Aussie Naturals ABO Gear Groom Mitt is the item I got most excited about in this month’s box. Chino is always rolling around in anything he can fin and comes home completely covered and a tinge of brown. I love that these are portable and fit over my hand.

Licks Liquid Vitamin-Joint & Heart

Can I play with the rope now?

Last but not least we got a Multipet Nuts for Knots rope toy, this was the highlight of it all for Chino, he LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEES rope toys.
