The Honest Kitchen Bone Broth Review Starring Cousin Sebastian #chewyinfluencer

OMD, look what Chewy.com sent me free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.  It's The Honest Kitchen Bone Broth Pour Overs!
Gimme gimme gimme ....
... seriously, I WANT NOW!
But mean mom said no, we have to show you the product first.  Boo.
Human Grade - check; Made in the USA - check
All kinds of yummy stuff but then I already know that because I can SMELL it!
Cousin Sebastian has been with us for the week because the son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter are away.  So Cousin Sebastian, you want to get out of your nest and join us for the review?
Waiting on Cousin Sebastian while mom gets the kibble ready.
Finally, here he comes.
So opening this carton is more painful for me than for mom - me for having to wait and mom for trying to open it without spilling any.  PLEASE don't spill it up there where I can't reach it.
So after folding it back and forth and finally tearing it, mom gets it open.
Jumping leaps of joy!  Let's eat!
It's all stirred into our kibble and we are ready to roll.
Sebastian doing the WAIT torture.
And he digs in.
Al doesn't wait but then he doesn't attack his bowl like we do, BOL.
Me doing the WAIT torture ...
... and in I go.
So the mom says no matter how hard she tries, she makes a mess of it.  There is no good way to close the carton to save any.  Each carton contains two servings so one serving has to be saved in the fridge if only one dog is being fed.  Our solution to that is to just share with other dogs so mom doesn't make a big mess trying to close the carton to save for the next meal.  (Although I would gladly let her pour an entire carton on my kibble each meal.  Just sayin')
And the mom drives herself crazy trying to get it all out of the carton because so much stays behind.  The only thing mom likes about the carton is that it is recyclable.  But hold on now mom, we can work with this.  Just give me that carton...



Of course the mom watches me very closely and steals the carton from me before I can eat it but I get every single drop out of it.
So no matter how mom feels about the carton, we ♥♥♥♥♥ The Honest Kitchen Bone Broth Pour Overs and I will lick that carton (and her fingers) clean any day!

Dr. Lyon's Supplements Review Starring Guest Blogger Cousin Sebastian! #chewyinfluencer

So earlier this month the postal man brought a SURPRISE package from Chewy.com!
Chewy.com sent me the Skin & Coat Support and Liver Support free of charge and asked that I let them know my thoughts on these products.
I was especially excited to try more Dr. Lyon's stuff because Chewy.com once sent me the Hip & Joint Support to try and I still take it to this day because I love it so much and mom things that because I am a high performance athletic hiking dog I need it and who am I to argue? (And PS the mom says the price is right, MUCH less costly than what she used to give Shawnee but with the same stuff in it.)
So I am going to try the Skin & Coat Support, formulated with key nutrients chosen for their coat-enhancing properties including salmon oil, which is rich in omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids as well as EPA and DHA. 
Hmmm, smells of treats.  Good start.
OMD, I get THREE of them every day. Oh, and mom says to tell you the ingredients because it's not clear in the picture: Salmon Oil, Brewer's Dried Yeast, Vegetable Glycerin, Dried Cheese, Liver Meal, Corn Starch, Natural Flavors, Water, Calcium Silicate, Soy Lecithin, Maltodextrin, Yucca Schidigera Extract, preserved with Calcium Propionate and Sorbic Acid, Gum Arabic, Disodium Phosphate, Vegetable Oil, Mixed Tocopherols added to retain freshness, Rosemary Extract, Green Tea Extract.
Three.  Every Day.  Three.  Count them ...
Woof
Woof  Woof
Woof Woof Woof
Delish and the bonus is I get a handsome coat of furs.
So because my Cousin Sebastian had a bout of liver problems a while back that made him go to the V-E-T (YIKES) many, many times, I thought I should let him try the Liver Support so he doesn't kick my hiney because he is my cousin and I loves him.  Take it away Cousin Sebby....
 Chewy.com says these are formulated with herbal extracts and key nutrients known to help maintain a healthy liver, including silymarin—a natural compound found in milk thistle—plus turmeric extract sourced from turmeric root, and n-acetyl cysteine—a naturally occurring amino acid. N-acetyl cysteine is added to help promote normal liver function including detoxification, to support overall health for your dog. Plus, these soft chews are naturally flavored with cheese and chicken liver so they’re a delicious treat you can give as daily maintenance.
Rut roh.  Is this more medicine?  It says "Dr" on the jar.  Hmmmm, I don't know about this.  Is Cousin Brodie trying to trick me?
Well smells delicious.  Is she going to give me one already?
Checking to be sure it's not more liver medicine pills (ACK).
Doesn't taste like liver medicine pills.
Nom.  I can tell you with certainly these are yummy TREATS!  Not medicines at all.  Thanks, Cousin Brodie, for sharing with me!
And thank YOU Cousin Sebby for blogging with me.  And thank YOU Chewy.com for letting us try these pawsome supplements that make us handsome inside and out!

Health Extension Whole Elk Antler #chewyinfluencer

Here I am on the last day of the month doing my Chewy.com review for July.  In my defense, I did have a 30-day challenge I was working on and I had to revisit this product a few times so I have been a busy dog this month.  For July Chewy.com sent me free of charge, in exchange for my honest opinion, a Health Extension Whole Elk Antler.  These are naturally shed antlers so no elk were harmed in the making of this product.  OK, let's give it a whirl after mom takes the tag off because you just know I would eat that too, BOL.

Hmmm.  I need to think on this.
Thinking...
Thinking ...
Mom put it in the car with my Benebones because chewing on approved stuff in the car keeps me from hurling.  But I went right for my Benebones and never touched the antler.  So there it sat for a couple of weeks.
Mom brought it back in and I left it in the hallway.
Where mom promptly tripped over it.
Oops.
So I moved it to my bed and there it sat.
I gave it another try.
Ho hum ...
Belly rub?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
So as you can see, I gnoshed a few gashes in it but I have to bark that it just is not my thing.  Other dogs might like them but it's not for me.
