Wellness Gravies from Chewy.com!


Aleister is excited to bring you a new review featuring a wet cat food from the Wellness brand. When it comes to food Aleister knows when it is time for his daily wet food bowl and will become quite vocal to let you know if you are late giving him his food. When we get to test out new wet foods he is over the moon, because to him testing out new brands is like a person getting to try out new desserts.

 
This month we are trying out the Wellness Healthy Indulgent Gravies food pouches which come in a case of 32  3oz pouches through Chewy for $37.96. Instead of one giant case arriving containing all of the pouches you'll be sent four smaller boxes that each have eight pouches in two different flavors. The two flavors included are Chicken/Turkey and Tuna/Mackerel and both are grain-free, the first we opened was the tune/mackerel and it smelled just like a can of tuna being opened. Each pouch is easy to open and we had no issues getting the wet food out since the pouches were easy to squeeze.



Typically when you think of 3oz of food you might not think it equals out to a lot of food especially because a lot of cat food brands put only small amounts of food in their pouches. That wasn't the case with Wellness, I was quite surprised how much food as packed into each pouch, although I did expect a bit more gravy since they are called "Gravies". Aleister normally finishes most or all of his wet food but he was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of food in the pouch so he only finished about half of the meal. Cutting back to half of a pouch is more beneficial for us so the other half we keep in a sealed baggie and put it in the fridge for the next day so technically with a case of pouches we can get 64 days of food instead of just 32 which helps lower the cost of cat food even more! If you are searching for a new brand of cat food, a new toy or even medications Chewy has hundreds of products for sale at great prices.

Aside from pet food, what is another pet product you like buying online? What kind of pets do you have?

Purina Muse cat food review with Chewy.com!

**This was not a paid post. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy for the review  free of charge.**


There are a few surefire ways to tell if your pet is spoiled, it could be a giant pile of toys or it could be getting fancy foods. This post is about the latter and a rather special box of cat food Aleister received from Chewy. We received the Purina Muse creatables variety wet food pack which retails for $22.24. As always my shipping was extremely quick, I ordered on the morning of the 7th and I received my package the following evening.



This variety pack comes with four bags of crunchy bites, six pouches of gravy sauce and six containers of tender filets. It also comes with a small recipe book which you can use to customize your cats meals or you can customize your own. If you follow along with the recipe book two of them will include just the sauce and meat, however if your cat prefers it mixed in with dry food you can always cut the dry food portions in half or add it to the dry food you already have on hand.


All of the food in this pack is grain free and made with real fish + poultry, there are no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives and it is also free of corn, wheat and soy. Each item can be used together or you can give them to your cat as a treat or meal topper such as adding the sauce to their favorite food. For it being cat food it doesn't smell all that bad and if you were to just look at the meat cups without knowing it was cat food, you could mistake it for just a cup of shredded taco chicken. Aleister has been getting a bit of the royal treatment and won't eat it until everything is stirred up to his liking which gives us a chuckle. By the way is tail swishes from side to side as he eats and from the noises he makes while eating, we can tell he has a fondness for this cat food.

This pack is easy to use and Aleister is eager to try each of the flavors included in the pack. Price wise I don't think it is too bad if the pouches are spaced out a bit, though if you use all three pouches together as a meal you'll get six meals which comes out to about $3.66 a meal which can be a bit much on the wallet after a while. Aleister has enjoyed this brand quite a bit but I think we will stick with something a little more wallet friendly for now.

Do you have any pets? If yes, have you tried out Chewy.com? Their prices are pretty great and shipping is quick plus their product selection is massive. If no, what type of pet would you like to have if you could?

Chewy.com Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy.com for the review free of charge.****


Considering that we get a box from Chewy almost monthly to review with our pooch you would think he would be used to having to take pictures by now! He is slowly coming around to having to snap a few shots before getting his treat but you can see from the look on his face below that he isn't all too happy about it. In our latest box from Chewy we receive Purina Beyond Cutlets Chicken Dog Treats & a Nutro Kitchen Classics Loaf Variety Pack wet dog food for Dogs.




 Nutro Kitchen Classics Dog Food: This comes with two different flavored dog foods, they are grass fed lamb with brown rice & slow cooked chicken with rice and oatmeal. The price isn't too bad good on this set, you get six 12.5 oz cans for just $10.79 making the cans $1.80 each. The dogs looked like they enjoyed the food, they didn't leave any behind and they didn't seem overly picky about eating it. Looks wise it looks similar to other dog food brands and smelled about the same as well.





Purina Beyond Cutlets Chicken Dog Treats: I don't usually like starting reviews off with the negative of the product first but yuck! These treats stink.  I know they are meant for dogs and that they shouldn't appeal to our senses but not all dog products smell that bad but this wasn't one of them. On a more positive note each treat was pretty large and thick vs being thin and easily broken into two. The dogs loved these and couldn't get enough of them! You can see how he is giving me the stink eye in the photo above, he just wants the treat instead of taking photos. This sells for $9.49 on their website.

Chewy.com Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy.com for the review free of charge.****

When it comes to my pets I like making sure they are well taken care of, they are part of the family so why shouldn't they be treated the same as any other family member that you love? We are always picking up toys and treats for them, At food time they get dry food but we also mix in a bit of wet food with it to make it taste better. It is no surprise that I am naturally drawn to Chewy.com because they carry one of the largest selections of pet products all at great prices and I am sure you've seen their adorable commercials.
Every so often I receive the chance to work with Chewy to review some of the products they carry, this month I was sent Cesar Dry Dog Food + Variety Case of wet food and Fancy Feast Poultry & Beef  Feast Variety Classic Pate Canned Cat Food. As soon as I walked into the house with the package Sulley Monster knew what it was right away and was excited to test out the food. Our review of the three products we receive are as follows:


Cesar Dry Dog Food -  We received was a 2.7LB bag, the dog food smelled decent and the dogs really seemed to enjoy eating it, I like that they offer a few different flavors and that the bag can be resealed to keep the food fresh. This bag of dry dog food sells for $5.49 on their website or $5.22 if you have an Autoship with them.

Cesar Club Variety Cube Dog Food Trays - We received a 24 count of wet dog food, the portions may look a bit small but they are actually the perfect size for our two dogs since they get it along side a portion of dry food. Sulley Monster was quite happy to eat it right out of the container in order to snap a few photos as you can see above. The lids are easy to get off but with most wet dog foods the smell isn't too pleasant but it can easily be washed off if you get any of the gravy on your hands. The package contains four different flavors this way your dog won't get bored of the same flavor over and over again. This sells for $16.88 per case ($0.70 per can) or $16.04 ($0.66 per can) if you have an Autoship set up.

Classic Pate Canned Cat Food - We received a 24 count of wet cat food in three different flavors, each portion size is perfect for a daily meal for any cat. If you want to watch out for how much your cat is eating at once you can even give them half in the morning and the other half in the evening that way they are spacing their food out a bit and aren't feeling sick from eating to much or too quickly. The cans are easy to open and the smell isn't too bad. This sells for $12.74 on their website so $0.53 per can and you can get free one day shipping on any orders over $49.

Shipping is always speedy and everything is packaged well to keep it safe during it's travels, being able to order my pets food through Chewy is quick and convenient plus for those who are sometimes forgetful you can set it up to where it will automatically send you a new shipment on a certain date that way it can arrive even before you run out of food or treats.

Gather - Petcurean Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by for Petcurean the review free of charge.****

When it comes to your pets you want them to be just as healthy as you so picking out the right food is important. Petcurean has a pet food brand called Gather that is crafted from certified and organic ingredients including free-run chicken, peas and more.



I was sent a small bag of Gather cat food along with several smaller samples bags of the different dog foods they offer. Some cat and dog foods have an odd and sometimes unpleasant smell to them but this pet food actually had a pretty decent scent to it. A bit off topic but a amusing thought I had because the pet food smells fresh and almost sweet I'd say if you were in a zombie apocalypse type situation where you had nothing but pet food to eat and you had a choice between this and a competitor brand based off the smell you'd want this one.

My step-dads dog "J" has a very sensitive stomach and isn't able to eat a lot of foods or even treats without getting sick so they generally stick to one specific type of dog food but we figured we would test this out.  J loved the dog food and didn't have any negative side effects from it which was a very positive sign that the ingredients were gently on his stomach. This company has even found a way to make their bags more biodegradable by making their bags with 30% “bio-based plastic” produced from sugarcane, a sustainably-produced and renewable raw material. Gather is sold in retailers all across the US and Canada. Over all we are very satisfied with this brand.

Chewy.com Reivew!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy.com for the review free of charge.****



When it comes to my pets I am one of those people who treat my pets like they are one of my kids, all of my pets are spoiled and loved.I am always willing to test out fun new products with my pets, especially with my newest cat Hook (the little orange cat) who is 11 months old and is either teething or was a dog in a past life because he chews on everything. Chewy.com sells a wide selection of pet products for all of your furry, feathery and scaly needs, I was recently given a list of products to select from to do a review on and I selected the Temptations Tubs Cat Treats w/ Snacky Mouse, and
Purina FortiFlore.





Right away both of my cats were curious to see what I was doing in the kitchen as soon as the heard the jingle of the cat treats in the tub. As you can see Hook was trying to help himself to some treats but could not quite fit his paw into the hole to get a treat out. The cat treats are very aromatic which is sure to get your cats attention, the tub is has a lid that seals shut when not in use to help keep the treats fresh when not being devoured. The Snacky Mouse actually came with a small bag of treats inside of the box as well, which I thought was nice. The head of the mouse twists off which allows your to add treats to the inside of the mouse, after filling it simply place it on the floor and as your cat knocks it around treats will slowly fall out of it one by one or if you have a toddler it will get shaken and treats will end up all over but that is half the fun isn't it? The Purina FortiFlore I wanted to test out because my mom's dog has a very sensitive stomach and always has digestive issues and I've heard lots of good things about probiotics for both humans and pets so I thought I would give it a shot. So far it has seemed to help he seems less agitated after meal time and doesn't seem to be having any issues with getting sick. I am very happy with both of these products and thank Chewy for carrying both these items plus hundreds more!

Chewy.com Pet Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others. The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy for the review free of charge.****

 In most families pets are like furry children and as so they can be just as spoiled as human children are, and that is no different with my pets. My cat can be pretty picky when it comes to food and toys, but my dog on the other hand loves anything you want to give him.



I recently received the chance to work with the lovely Chewy.com who offers a wide range of pet products for a wide range of pets including toys, food, medical treatments and more all at affordable prices. For my recent review I received the following products: Purina Friskies Pull 'n Play, Wellness CORE Hearty Cuts Canned Cat Food & Blue Buffalo Wilderness Bayou Biscuits. The products arrived quickly and were packaged well.





The first product I tested out was the Purina Friskies Pull 'n Play which comes with Chicken & Cheese Pull ‘n Play Strings and Original Party Mix cat treats, my cat loves toys but isn't a big fan of cat treats so I was pretty surprised that he ate the treats that came with this toy as fast as he could. Next up was the dogs Blue Buffalo Wilderness Bayou Biscuits which as you can see above the dogs loved them and couldn't wait for me to give them a few more. The Blue Buffalo treats are free of artificial preservatives, colors or flavors, corn, wheat, soy & chicken/poultry by-product meals. The golden pooch named Jack that you see above has a sensitive stomach and has issues with different treats but he had no issues with these treats so they are on our 'To buy' list for him as a brand he is able to enjoy.

Finally I tested out the Wellness CORE Hearty Cuts Canned Cat Food and I am very happy it was a shredded non pate cat food because my cat won't touch anything that is pate. My cat really enjoyed this cat food and I like the fact that it has No artificial preservatives, colors or flavors along with No wheat, corn or soy fillers. I enjoy the variety of products Chewy.com sells because there are tons of brands to select from along with a large amount of different treats,foods, and more. They offer free shipping on orders over $49 which is always a plus.

What kind of pets do you have if any?

Chewy.com Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others. The products mentioned below have been provided by Chewy for the review free of charge.****


Almost everyone you meet who owns a pet will tell you that their pet is like a child to them and thus they like to spoil them when they can, I can personally tell you that my cat is quite spoiled and part of that is because he is extremely picky about what he eats. I am always on the look for new foods he will eat that are healthy and don't cost an arm and a leg.





I was recently sent the Wellness TruFood Tasty Pairings with Chicken, Pumpkin & Turkey grain-free cat food along with Simple Solutions Cat Litter. I was whole heartidly unsure if my cat would eat this food or not, but I was pleasantly surprised that not only did he like it but he loved it and ate the entire thing not leaving a single drop of liquid or food behind in the container. I like how this cat food is packaged and it doesn't have an overly powerful smell like some cat foods do, I also like the packaging design because it looks nice. This cat food does cost slightly more than I currently pay for my cats food at $37.99 for a 24 pack of 3oz cups, however with the other cat food I purchase he never finishes the entire thing and I feel like I end up throwing away half of each one.

The kitty litter did cover up my cats scent when he used the bathroom, however our litter box is located in our bathroom and when my son accidentally spilled a decent amount of bath water onto the littler it gave off an odd smell that filled the room. I wouldn't say it was a bad smell per say because it didn't smell like kitty business but it did have a house hold cleaner smell to it. The litter was easy to scoop and clumped well, you will use less of this litter than you would on other brands.

Do you have pets? If so are they spoiled?
