A couple weeks back I shared with you my first thoughts about Only Natural Pet Food from Chewy. With all natural ingredients and nothing that would irritate and make my dogs sensitive I've been super excited to see how they do.  Pixie and Rocky were my main testers for this challenge.  So what changes have I noticed with their progress on this new diet? Well...

Chewy 30 Day Challenge | Only Natural Pet | First Thoughts

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

You may remember some of my Chewy 30 Day Challenge posts from the past where over a period of 30 days, my dogs try a new food from Chewy and I give my thoughts on it.  Well, there's a new food for them to try and today I want to introduce you to it!

The brand is Only Natural Pet and the food is Raw Nibs. They make this food for dogs and cats, by the way! Now, you may have heard of a raw or freeze-dried dehydrated diet before but that can be a lot of work.  While it's great for pets because it improves digestion, reduces symptoms of allergies, and gives your pet healthier skin, it's very time consuming to prepare. 

The great thing about Raw Nibs is that it's already been prepared for your pet and you can feed it as a complete meal or even just sprinkling it on top of their existing food. The ingredients are minimally processed and it's ideal for pets with allergies and even picky eaters (I'm looking at you Mr. Rocky!).   

So my initial thoughts were that I'm pretty impressed with this food!


It comes in a nice attractively packaged bag and the kibble looks appetizing and safe for my dogs' tiny mouths since it's definitely bite sized! The fact that there's raw organic goat's milk in here is also very impressive.  There are no grains and the bag is resealable which makes this super easy on me. No prep and easy storage is a huge relief!  There are lots of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in this food so I know my dogs are getting what they need.  There are even probiotics and the protein is highly digestible.  Pixie has struggled a lot lately with a sensitive belly so I am really excited to see how she does on this.  I think Rocky will really enjoy it too!

Check back in a couple of weeks to see how my gang is doing on their new food!

Chewy 30 Day Challenge | Rachael Ray Nutrish | Final Thoughts

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

So it's time to wrap up the April Chewy 30 Day Challenge with Rachael Ray Nutrish Peak Grain-Free Natural Wetlands Recipe from Chewy. The chicken, duck, and pheasant flavor was clearly a big hit because dinner time and breakfast are still dancing time in our home.  Yes, that's right, they begin to dance when they see the food pouring into their bowls!

Chewy even sent me some of the wet food for me to mix in with the regular dry kibble with my pups and it was great. I love the choice between dry or wet! This is by far one of my favorite food brands for my dogs.  I love that there is no more incessant licking of the paws and there is a whole lot less shedding.  

Their stools are even more regular than ever before and the smell isn't so horrid.  Keep in mind, my dogs go inside on pee pee pads so the smell is a very big deal in my household.  Many times I didn't even know they went because I couldn't smell it from the other room. 

Stella's been able to maintain a healthy weight on this food which means I can continue to keep her on this since I have the proper portion control figured out for her. 

I am definitely going to stick with this brand for a while.  I love the price, the packaging, the kibble itself, and the results I've seen with my dogs.  If you are looking for a new brand of food to try, please consider Rachael Ray Nutrish!

Chewy 30 Day Challenge | Rachael Ray Nutrish | Progress

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

Last week I introduced you to my April Chewy 30 Day Challenge with Rachael Ray Nutrish Peak Grain-Free Natural Wetlands Recipe from Chewy. As I said in my intro post, Rachael Ray Nutrish Wetlands Recipe has chicken, duck, and pheasant.  I have to say it's been a REALLY big hit in my household.  The dogs are loving the unique blend of the different protein sources.  They are used to chicken but duck and pheasant is a nice change for them.  The kibble is a great size and they've had no issues eating it even though they have small teeth.  

Their coats are really shiny after just two weeks of eating this food.   They were looking a bit dull this winter and I know that flax seed and fish meal has natural omegas and this food has plenty of them.  That means a healthy coat and skin and speaking of skin, I've noticed they aren't as itchy.  They aren't licking their paws as much either. 

Feeding a quality natural food has so many benefits no matter what breed of dog you own.


I know that fillers and artificial ingredients can irritate pets so I am confident that because Rachel Ray Nutrish is free of those types of ingredients, it's really benefitting the gang! 

I'm also super stoked that Pixie is doing excellent on this food because as a therapy dog team, we both need to have energy and feel good on our visits!

Check back in a couple of weeks to see my final thoughts!

Chewy 30 Day Challenge | Rachael Ray Nutrish | Introduction

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

It's been quite a while since I've done a Chewy 30 Day Challenge but I'm excited to be back at it.  I love introducing different brands and products to my fellow dog owners.  This month I am going to be taking a look at Rachael Ray Nutrish Peak Grain-Free Natural Wetlands Recipe from Chewy.


Over the course of this month I'll be letting you know how my dogs do on this food and I'll explain any benefits that I notice.  First, we need to meet the brand and the product.

Rachael Ray Nutrish Wetlands Recipe has chicken, duck, and pheasant.  It's a dry dog food and it's formulated with real USA farm-raised chicken as the first ingredient.  It's full of easily-digestible animal protein which is beneficial for muscles and it's also loaded with veggies as an alternate source for carbohydrates that give energy.   Of course for a healthy skin and coat you need the flax seeds and fish meal that give your dog natural omegas.  This food also contains a lot of vitamins and minerals for over all well-being. 

This is a great food for my dogs because they have a lot of energy and the recipe provides 30% of high-quality protein that they will crave out of instinct.   It's also a great food for dogs with sensitivities because there are no glutens, grains, fillers, poultry by-product meal, or artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.  And of course your purchase of this food gives back because a portion of the proceeds helps animals in needs through Rachael's Rescue. 

I love the packaging.  It's pretty and durable.  The kibble is an ideal size for my dogs.  When I opened the bag the smell was good, not like it's filled with strange ingredients or anything like that.  I can't wait to see how my dogs do on this food and I can't wait to share the results with you!

Check back in a couple of weeks to see their progress.

Chewy 30 Day Challenge: Final Thoughts on Tylee's Human-Grade Dog Food

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

 It's part 3 of the Chewy 30 Day Challenge with Tylee's NEW Chewy Exclusive Human-Grade Dog Food.  That means I've had a full 30 days of my pups eating this food.   We all love it. I can actually say that I have never been so impressed with a food that I wouldn't be afraid to eat it until now. I mean this is literally made of human-grade ingredients.   You can actually see it in a scoop of the food.

I mean from the start, the dogs were definitely in love with the bag and the smell of the food but wow it's really made meal time go much more smooth.  Since everything's so bite sized there's no more choking and snorting down food and nearly giving me a heart attack.  Even on picky eater days, all 4 dogs DEVOUR Tylee's for dinner!

The best part is that I can defrost the whole bag in the fridge, or just fill a food storage container with a week's worth of supply and let it thaw.  That way the rest stays frozen and I don't have to worry about rushing to use it all up before it expires or goes bad.

So as for final thoughts - will I use this food in the future? Absolutely!!! I love it! I think it's a brilliant idea and it comes not only in a convenient resealable bag but it's easy for me to scoop some out to thaw, and it's super easy to actually serve it.  The dogs have had no issue on it.  Their coats are so shiny and their shedding is practically non-existant. 

There's no more obsessive itchy paw licking and everyone has healthy stools which makes me as a fur mama super happy! I highly highly HIGHLY recommend Tylee's Human-Grade Food!

Chewy 30 Day Challenge [ An Update]

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

 
You may remember my first post for my new Chewy 30 Day Challenge with Tylee's Food, but if not, let me recap.

So Tylee's is a NEW Chewy exclusive Human-Grade Dog Food.  It's actually made of human-grade ingredients just like what you get for yourself at the grocery store.   You can actually see the real food.  And all you have to do to prepare it is to defrost it and then serve it.


So today, I'm going to talk about the changes I'm seeing in my dogs and how they are liking the food.

 

So Grace took an immediate interest in the bag.  And she has been obsessed with this food now.  I transitioned gradually so they didn't get sick tummies but man, they are doing great with it.  There's no coughing, hacking, or nearly choking on kibble anymore! Woohoo! Everything's perfectly sized for them.  

I love how easy it is to prepare.  I just defrost some of this food for 2 days in a food storage container and that's what I use to store the current supply. There's no stinky smell or anything!

They line up like crazy pups for dinner and breakfast now.  I've noticed their bowel movements happen right after breakfast and right after dinner. They are on a really regular schedule and no one has had any unhealthy BMs.  

The food is amazing beacuse it makes me feel better about what I'm putting into their bodies.  I mean just look at it. It's really REAL human-grade food!

I've noticed less shedding and scratching with the dogs which is good because they can get allergies from fillers in food.  I don't have to worry about that now.   I also noticed they aren't gassy and bloated anymore, especially Pixie.  And there's less obsessive itchy licking of the paws. 


So check back in a couple of weeks, at the end of the month for my final thoughts!  I am so glad we are taking this challenge because I think Tylee's food is just AMAZING!

Chewy 30 Day Challenge: Tylee's Human-Grade Dog Food [First Thoughts]

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

It's a new month and a new 30-Day Challenge from Chewy.   I'm a long time user and fan of Chewy.  I get all of my pet supplies and food from them! So when I was asked to take on a challenge by trying out Tylee's Human-Grade Dog Food I had to say yes!

This first post will be about my initial thoughts and a brief introduction to the food.   In 2 more weeks I'll let you know how my pups are doing on it, and at the end of the month I'll wrap it all up with my final thoughts.

So Tylee's is a NEW Chewy exclusive Human-Grade Dog Food.  It's actually made of human-grade ingredients just like what you get for yourself at the grocery store.   You can actually see the real food.  And all you have to do to prepare it is to defrost it and then serve it.

For a long time I've thought about preparing home cooked food for my dogs but I just don't have the time or energy so this is essentially the perfect solution.  The receipes are grain-free and each has only one source of protein.  That means it's great for dogs with a sensitive tummy or dogs with allergies.  And you can either serve this as their actual meal, or just use it as a topper for their regular food.

The first thing I loved about this food was the packaging.  Not only is the bag beautiful but it's surprisingly light weight and it was easy to fit in my freezer (or fridge if you think you'll use it that fast!).  I love that there is a resealable top on this bag. 

There were instructions included that explain how to transition from your dog's current food to this new food.  Those instructions are super helpful because if you don't do it properly you can have a dog with some real loose stools and that is definitely not fun for them or for you!

So my pups will be enjoying the Chicken Recipe which contains real USDA-grade chicken plus fruits and veggies like apples, spinach, and carrots.  Thesea re full of fiber, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.  These are an important part of any diet.  There are even ingredients like sunflower oil and flaxseed oil that contain omega-3 and 6 that promote a healthy, shiny coat.  There's no by-product meals, or fillers like corn, wheat, and soy.

And of course there are no artificial flavors, coloring, and ingredients sourced from China.  It's made int he USA and you can only get it through Chewy.com!

When I first saw the food frozen I was impressed.  It's literally frozen!!!    It's great though because it's in small enough pieces that my dogs will be able to handle it.  I have to be careful since my dogs are so small that they don't choke on pieces of their food.

I'm sure they are going to enjoy this food. Check back in a couple of weeks when I let you know the progress and any changes I've seen so far.
