REVIEW: Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats

Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats

Where to Find: Chewy.com


2014-11-16_01-21-58

2014-11-16_01-23-32Sure, the Lapdogs carry on and on, barking like loons every time the nice man in the big brown truck shows up... but as soon as they see the familiar Chewy box, they forget all about the human intruder! 

This month we received a bag of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats from our Chewy buds.  The Wilderness Trail line has many options, including Biscuits, Wild Bits, Jerky, and Dental Chews.  Heck, they even have options for the frisky felines, but the Lapdogs say they have no use for those treats.

For our review, we picked the Grain-Free Turkey Biscuits.  Made in the USA with no corn, wheat, or soy, these perfectly sized crunchy treats are high in protein and sure to please all of the meat-loving canines of the world.... or at least that's what Tut thinks.  He says if your dog is so crazy that he doesn't like them, you can always send him the leftovers... (my boy has no shame).

Besides the fact that all Blue Buffalo treats are Made in the USA using only high-quality ingredients, this doggy Mama loves the adorable paw print stamped into each biscuit.  Seriously, how cute are these (and my old ham who still happily obliges when Mama asks him to sit still and balance treats on his head)?

2014-11-16_01-24-46

The Turkey Biscuits come in a resealable 10-oz bag, and at just $5.99 from Chewy, they are a very affordable option to add to your cookie jar! 

2014-11-16_01-24-07
Sophie and her siblings have all let me know they would like to add Blue Buffalo Turkey Biscuits to their cookie jar more often... and they think you should too!

Remember, 1-2 day shipping is always free at Chewy.com when you place an order of $49 or more.  Now's the time to stock up for the holidays... for your own pack, as well as all of the furry, 4-legged family members and friends on your Nice List this year!  



Disclosure: Chewy.com sent a bag of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats Grain-Free Turkey Biscuits to Lapdog Creations, free of charge for review purposes. I was not compensated for this review and all opinions expressed are my own.

Brrrr... Chilly Mischief

Well, it's Monday... and it's cold and wet outside.  No white stuff for us today (although they're getting it just an hour or so North of us), just heavy rain.  The Lapdogs were not at all amused when Mommy kicked them outside to do their business this morning.

Yesterday, on the other hand, was cold, but somewhat sunny.  I took the opportunity to get the dogs out on the deck for some photos.  First on my agenda was to get our Christmas card photo.  I was absolutely thrilled with one pose they got in for all of thirty seconds... and got what would have been the perfect shot, except for a little Princess doing her best "wishing for a treat" closed-eyes.  hmprf . I haven't decided if I'll still use it or not (she is pretty cute when she does that).  If it's not the main photo, I'll have to incorporate it in somehow.  

After the Christmas card shoot, the Lapdogs were then treated (literally) to a review photo shoot.  Stay tuned, we've got lots of great treats and toys to tell you about (with a few giveaways too!).  

Now, that's when the real mischief began.  While the rest of us ran inside to warm up, Zeus decided it was time for some good 'ole porch lounging.  Mind you, it was 37 degrees... but my happy old man didn't seem to mind at all.

After a few minutes, I sternly told him that if he was going to stay outside, he was going to wear his jacket.  Although he huffed and puffed at my fuss, he obliged.  For those of you wondering about the "donut head," that is his custom Neck Hug from Wag Tail Farms.  It helps with his mega-esophagus - mostly overnight, but also when things act up during the day... like when his Mama gives him too many treats during a review photo shoot.

He laid out back listening to the birds chirp and watching the world go by (his absolute favorite pastime during the warmer months) for another half an hour or so before I insisted it was time to come in.  He didn't understand what the problem was....

"Colddd?  puh-leze, iz bootiful outz here!" - Zeus

37 degrees and he insists on being outside, so Mama made him put on his jacket. #dogstagram  #instadog #seniordog #ilovemyseniordog #ilovebigmutts  He's got his #WagTailFarms #neckhug on for a bit as well because of his #megaesophagus
