I’m very excited to have my puppy girl assistant Shadow helping me out with today’s post! It celebrates something that is very near and dear to Shadow’s heart: Food and Treats! When it comes to her diet, Shadow, can be quite finicky, so we have certain go-to foods and treats that we always give her, but because we love “treating” her, we are always purchasing new products for her to try, and of course, I always welcome the opportunity to let her sample and review new products.
Most recently, Shadow had the chance to try SmartBones®. SmartBones from PetMatrix are a healthy alternative to Rawhide. They are easily digestible and will help your pet to maintain healthy teeth and gums. And because Shadow actually ate them, I know they must taste good too!
Before we learn more about the treats here are a couple of things about rawhide and why you should look for alternatives to rawhide bones and treats. Rawhide is the inner hide from a cow or other animal that has undergone chemical processing to remove hair and other materials. The rawhide is then ground or used whole, and is formed into various dog chew shapes. According to vets, dogs who eat rawhide, may face certain health risks such as stomach & intestinal blockage and potential ingestion of toxic chemicals used to process rawhide chews.
SmartBones® have several products available, and each product line has several flavor choices for you and your pet.. Shadow received the following:
- Stuffed Twistz. Shadow received these with real peanut butter and pork flavor chew inside.
- Classic Bone Chews. Shadow received their vegetable, chicken and beef chew. It has vegetable & beef on the outside and real chicken inside.
- Butcher’s Cut Long-Lasting Mighty Chew. Shadow received the vegetable and chicken chews with a pork center.
Shadow’s favorite was the Classic Bone Chews. They seem to be just her size, and she has a great time running around and hiding these in her “special places” before eating them!
I also love these products for Shadow because they are vitamin and mineral enriched, and I like to give her something to help her maintain healthy teeth and gums.
