On a regular basis, it is a challenge to figure out where they are delivering our package. There have been times when I find it in the middle of the sidewalk or driveway. The latest delivery was literally right at the end of our long driveway. It was a good thing I saw it when pulling out rather than pulling in. The latter would have mentioned I would have run over the package. I love chewy as they make taking care of our 4 leggers easy, but they really need to work in the delivery procedures

Picky dogs when eating

I finally found a food for my dog that he loves and never left anything in his bowl. He is so picky and I’m relieved he’s eating and loving every bite!

I've been branching out on my dog's food, as with age she is getting pickier and I don't have the energy to try to fight with her about eating twice a day every day. I've bought a bunch of low carb canned options, this being one of them. She's now had a couple of these in her rotation, and it seems to be going as well as it can be, and that's good enough for me!

I got asked to try out Backcountry Real Chicken Dinner recipe. I am all about testing out food. They gave me this can for free and asked me to give my opinion on it. This recipe is a pate or loaf style recipe. I am more of a stew girl, I like licking up the tasty broth. This was very tasty though! It has chunks of meat in the pate, which was very good. Mom can tell how much I like something based on how fast I can gobble the food down. It was gone within a few minutes. Part of me ate it fast because the kitties were trying to see what I was so interested in. The rest of me thought it was very yummy. The ingredients make mom happy, which means she will buy it for me again. If you are looking for a pate recipe that will not disappoint your pups tastebuds, then give this one a try.

I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #ad #freesample My fur baby Chihuahua is pretty picky so it's hard to get him to want to eat his food at times. He prefers to eat different food and flavors every day and play with his food if he doesn't like it. When I added the Merrick grain free wet food to his bowl, he actually seemed curious and excited! He smelled it and gobbled his food up and then went sniffing around to see if there was anymore. He comes running eagerly to eat now and is a happy dog! I love the ingredients they use and how they are fully transparent with what they add. Compared to other types of wet food, you can tell the quality in the chunks of chicken each can has. Highly recommend!

When my picky eater got a sniff of this food she was wagging her tail in excitement. I put a spoonful alone on the side and mixed some with her dry food and well she licked the bowl clean. No upset tummy, yay!! It has an appealing texture and it’s made in the USA how wonderful is that. I am pleased that it provides my girl with complete nutrition and it’s good for all breeds.
