I am sure many of you have designated dog blankets. I know I do! I have at least two in my room that go in their beds, and of course, they share my bed most of the time, so my comforter has become a dog blanket too I guess? Ha!

So, I won a Buddy Blanket Comforter from my friends Pawsitively Pets and I thought I would share a quick review of it!

Review: ImmuneIQ Allergy Test for Dogs and Cats

The Chesnut Mutts Immune IQ review

["The Chesnut Mutts" were not paid for this review. All opinion are genuinely mine and we would not share a product that we did not fully believe in. Please do not use any image without permission. Post also contains affiliate links.]

UPDATE:
ImmuneIQ has been found as a fraud.
People had sent in fake fur and it was coming back with results. ImmuneIQ replied by removing itself from the market.

When it comes to allergies, eliminating certain foods does help in general. Minimal ingredients help target the pesky allergens. This is why people saw results with this product. I'm leaving my review as is to educate the public.


Ever since Jada was a little puppy, she has suffered from ear infections. We couldn't figure out what was causing her to itch and I figured it was an allergy or an intolerance to some kind of food. For years, I have kept Jada away from chicken, thinking that was the culprit, all the while trying to find a way to find exactly what was causing the problem.

Mini Review: My Kool Dog - K9 Cooler Bowl

My Kool Dog K9 Cooler Bowl Review
Disclaimer: this post contains affiliate links

We received the K9 Cooler Bowl in the mail from a giveaway yesterday and we thought we would share some info/do a mini review of it!

My Kool Dog K9 Cooler Bowl water bowl

The K9 Cooler Bowl is great for those hot days out with your dog! The directions state that you fill up the top with water, place ice cubes in the bottom compartment, and then after your dog has drunk all the water, turn it upside down and it refills with the melted ice water!

Upside down K9 Cooler with ice cubes added. It came with a top and a carrying strap that is pictured behind

Bailey with the My Kool Dog K9 Cooler Bowl

Bailey likes! 

It kinda fools the eye about how deep it is because the container is sectioned into two halves - one for the ice, the other for water, so if you have a big water drinker you will be refilling it a lot.

Jada with the My Kool Dog K9 Cooler Bowl

Jada approves too!

Overall, I think the K9 Cooler Bowl is really nifty and cool (ha)

I can see this being used at a party where dogs are running loose and having a good time. I'm going to use this when I get back to walking with the girls. Jada pretty much stayed at the water bowl the whole time! 

There is a lot of potential is this cool product! (BTW, on the box it says you can fill up the ice cube container with water and put it in the freezer instead which is fabulous!)

Sadly, the K9 Cooler Bowl is no longer available. You can find similar products on Amazon.

Mini Review: Pet Naturals of Vermont - Breath Bars

Pet Naturals of Vermont Breath Bars Dental Treats
Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links

We received a free sample bag of Breath Bars by Pet Naturals of Vermont in the mail today. Since I don't have a blog, I will be posting a few pictures on here about what we thought about them :)


Pet Naturals of Vermont Breath Bars Dental Chews for Dogs

Jada was super excited to try the breath bars and Bailey was her usual self (haha). The ingredients look great and I love the touch of cinnamon which reminds me of yummy cinnamon toast. Mmmm.

Breath bars aren't bad to balance either! Lol. The bars are 3 inches long and the recommended feeding is one a day, 2 a day for over 50 lbs. I was able to divide one into 4 pieces to use as a training reward as well.

I gave them both a bar and Bailey took it to her usual place on the stairs and Jada ate it in like 3 seconds..!! It took Bailey forever but they both chew at different speeds.

In conclusion, we all really like the Breath Bars from Pets Naturals by Vermont. This would be in the same class of durability/longevity as Minties and Greenies if you are looking at that like when you have a heavy chewer like Jada here lol. Ingredients look high quality, smells good, it is a good size for dogs up to maybe 25 lbs to handle in their paws. You can break it up for smaller dogs. Good stuff! :)

Sadly, Breath Bars aren't available anymore, but Pet Naturals of Vermont has many other products available. Check them out on Amazon.
