A Very Sad Story - Unsafe Treats - Loss

Dear Friends,
My heart sank today when I read about Yoda, a fellow Corgi who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge far too early in her life due to BAD treats from CHINA.  I was devastated that another Corgi family had to endure the loss of their pup due to the lack of safety controls within the pet food industry.

As a pet mom, I research labels and read reviews and try to make the smartest and safest decisions for Jozi and I would be so distraught if I caused her harm by my own hand and my hard earned money.    My thoughts and prayers are with Peggy while she deals with the loss of her Yoda. 

If you would like to read about Yoda you can link HERE to the Corgi Pals site.

All treats SHOULD BE SAFE for our fur kids! 

Here is a link to the Poisoned Pets blog - great information here!

When I have the time, I like to make Jozi's treats; either peanut butter or yogurt or other fruit or vegetable based treats.  She loves carrot sticks, so that is a staple in our household.  She also loves pumpkin and sweet potatoes, so these are also good "treats" in my opinion. 

I have never bought any chicken jerky treats or anything similar to them but I have heard of so many recalls and deaths due to these treats. 
There is also a concern not only about "where" the treats are manufactured but rather the ingredients and "where" they are obtained from and then used in the processing of these treats.  I try to stay away from any label that says anything other than "made in the USA" but I understand that The Country of Origin Labeling law (COOL) funny name for such a non-funny law that is causing death, hu?  See this article for more information on COOL and an explanation of it from the Poisoned Pets blog.  It may make you look at what you feed your pets on a new and different level....

GodSpeed, Yoda....Heartfelt thoughts, Peggy....

We were contacted to be the lucky recipients (Jozi and me) of a fun-filled, smooching-good basket of goodies and we are also going to have a giveaway for the same basket that one of our lucky readers can also win!

The giveaway prize includes:


Here's the package that we received!



One coupon for one free office visit and a Dental consultation to your local Banfield (inside Petsmart)

Doggie Toothbrush (the design is so wonderful to get all those teeth sqeaky clean)

Doggie Toys

Dentastix Fresh samples

Sephora goodies including a $25.00 Sephora gift card

Toothbrush and toothpaste for us humans to keep us minty fresh and clean

 
If you want to participate in this giveaway, just leave a comment on the blog below telling Jozi if your pup enjoys teeth brushing and if so or not was it or is it hard to get your pup used to the process?  (Jozi LOVES teeth brushing....it's just another way she thinks she gets a treat!)

This giveaway has a GREAT toothbrush for pups; it has three sides that get all sides of your pup's teeth EASIER than those people-type toothbrushes we are all used to!

A little about Pedigree Dentastix Fresh...
February is Oral Care Month (Every month of the year SHOULD be Oral Care Month for our pups...), and taking the same care of your dog as you would your own oral health is easy, thanks to PEDIGREE DENTASTIX Fresh treats for dogs!  With DENTASTIX Fresh treats for dogs, pet owners can easily help clean their dog's teeth and keep their breath fresh because these treats are clinically proven to reduce tartar buildup by up to 80% when given daily. 

Some easy and quick oral health care tips for dog owners include:
     Feed one DENTASTIX treat a day for maximum effectiveness
     Brush your dog's teeth regularly and check your dog's mouth for signs of gum disease
     Take your dog to the vet regularly and follow the recommended oral care routine your vet suggests
     Feed your dog a proper diet
     Avoid feeding your dog table scraps

Visit Pedigree.com for more great tips!

Peace, Love, Barks and Treats Forever,

Jozi and Cat

Disclaimer: Dentastix was kind enough to send the "Smootch A Pooch" pack for review purposes only. I am not being paid for this review and all of opinions are my own and 100% honest. And Jozi says that she LOVES the treats errrr Dentastix Fresh and the toys she received!
