The end of February is around the corner...and soon spring will "march" in - pun intended. In the cold winter months, I love a hearty stew, you know, the kind grandma used to make or the kind you make on a New England "snow day" when the kids are home from school and the roads are shut down, the kind of day when you light a fire in the woodstove and start to cook.
Cats, come to find out like a good hearty stew as well... who knew -- that this stew was totally a treat for my cats...Thanks to chewy I found out that my Tonkinese, Sabu, especially loves stew, it is his favorite and I was excited to try Hartz Delectables Stew, Tuna and White Fish from www.chewy.com.
First of all the packaging says "lickable" and I can assure you...that is just what Sabu did...he licked that scrumptious deliciousness all up. I liked the fact that it comes in a single serve pouch that is easy to open and throw away. I did add a bit of water to this just to make sure I got everything out of the package. Hartz Delectable Stew is also a good alternative for a senior cat that has a hard time eating solid or dry food.
The thick (lickable) sauce is mixed with real whitefish, imitation crab meat and real tuna that has loads of protein for your cat. It is the perfect (wanted to say purrfect) reward for the end of the day when winter is almost over and Sabu cannot explore his kingdom on his leash. Looking at the chewy.com website this product got 4.7 stars out of five with most people noting that their cats loved this "stew". As you can see Zivaha is stepping out for stew!
My cats love this as a treat and as a supplement to their dry food. My advice, don't "stew" on it... check out Hartz Delectables Stew!
According to a recent survey, twenty percent of Americans are spending millions on Valentine Day gifts for their pets! After all, Valentine's Day is a holiday to share your love and affection with those that you love. Last year American shoppers spent about $18.2 billion on Valentine's Day gifts. And, about 20% of US consumers are going to give their pet or pets a Valentine's Day gift -- or gifts this year. And, yes, did I get some great inspirational ideas from chewy.com for Valentine's Day and every day and one great item I had to try is Wishes Filets by Honest Kitchen.
Even though I consider every day Valentine's Day because it is always important to show appreciation to our four-footed (and two-footed friends) -- each and every day... I am really excited to share a very special treat from chewy -- they really find such great things at such great discounts. So, this Valentine's Day, I wanted to show the gang of five just how "pawsome" they are and Wishes Filets is a "Fishtastic Treat"! Once opening the package, my gang of five wanted to dive right into it -pity I could not get a photo of that chaos!
Human Grade
What impressed me most is that Wishes Filets by The Honest Kitchen is 100% human grade which means that the entire supply chain and production process has been reviewed by the FDA on two separate occasions, earning the Honest Kitchen and Wishes Filets human grade status. The long and short of it is that wishes filets are fit for human consumption and my Tonkinese thinks it is scrumptious! I also like the fact that Honest Kitchen is a family-owned company out of California that makes food for dogs and cats from minimally processed human grade ingredients that provide pet parents with a more natural option.
The Snap Perfect for Multi-Pet Households!
I
love the snap and crackle of Wish Filets that are light, crispy and easy to break apart so you can use tiny morsels of this deliciousness for a cat's smaller mouth...dogs love these treats as well and gobble them up too.
Wishes Filets are made of dehydrated white fish that is rich in protein and Omega-3s that is so important to improve the overall health of your cat or dog. Interestingly this dehydrated treat also includes skins. This treat is made from a variety of sustainable wild caught white fish so the company, Honest Kitchen can help maintain a healthy ecosystem in our oceans. I really like this philosophy, so it is a win-win in my mind when purchasing this treat and watching the Tonks dive into them!
- Omega -3 fatty acids acts as an anti-inflammatory and will help with arthritis.
- Omega-3 will help to ease inflammation due to allergies and reduce itchy skin and dandruff.
- Like other fat supplements, it promotes a shiny healthy coat and reduces shedding. For cats, this also may mean fewer hairballs.
- Omega-3 is important in brain and eye development in puppies and kittens. Feeding a nursing mother can also benefit babies once they are born.
STAR Quality
Looking at
www.chewy.com reviews this high protein snack got 89% of those that bought this product recommending it! The only complaint was that this treat has a strong fish smell... I can assure you... that smell didn't bother my Tonkinese... they loved it! And, truth be told, the smell of these treats is no stronger than any of the other dehydrated treats that we have reviewed.
Connecticut Beardsley Zoo Tiger Update
The two rare Amur or Siberian tiger cubs were born in November at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport have received worldwide attention. Unfortunately, the Tiger cubs, Reka and Zaya are too young to be viewed by the public, however, a Connecticut Company, Blue Buffalo has sponsored a live streaming webcam in their nursery and chewy.com sent these two stripped sweethearts Valentine's Day treat!
The webcam offers animal lovers a close-up view of these two stripped sweethearts at play from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Watching the live feed also gives the public a chance to see how hard the zoo staff is working to care for these little ladies that are genetically so important to sustaining their breed. The Beardsley Zoo is an accredited zoo that does much more than just display animals. Accredited Zoos play an important role in conservation, saving animals and breeding them that are on the verge of extinction in the wild, like Amur Tigers. In late spring, the Beardsley Zoo will move the tiger cubs to a new tiger exhibit where the public can actually watch them frolic... but for now get ready to ohhhhhh and awwwww when watching the webcam!
