I used to give Cheerios and 100% Natural Salmon Snacks (dehydrated wild pacific salmon sticks) with no additives/preservatives by Snack 21 Changing the way you "treat" your pet!! (Canadian) but it's gotten more dry and hard to the point where I was afraid it might irritate my girl's throat for swallowing it without chewing. I also gave up on Grandma Lucy's Organic Baked Blueberry biscuit treats. They turned stale quick.

Then I started on the NRG Pet Products Smart Nutritional Research Group Ltd dehydrated pet food dehydrated dog food "Dehydrated with 100% Pure Canadian Rockie Mountain Air" Salmon Trixx Bitz (Ingredients: 100% human grade wild salmon, cider vinegar, herbs and spices) but I really did not feel comfortable with their "12 secret herbs and spices" (is that even legal???) and not sure if that's what triggered a series of itchy scratchiness so I'm ready to toss the rest of the bag out (which is most of it). I also fed something that resembled bird feed (with flax seed & molasses) and couldn't stand the acidic yeasty "aroma" so I stopped that, though my girl liked it just fine.

Now I've settled on a couple I like, and my girl absolutely loves to no end. The new flavour of Organic Buffalo Mini's with Blueberries (small soft/chewy treats in bone shape) Wild Bites™ - nutritious, healthy and natural dog treats and cat treats. Love at first bite!. I'm going to pick up the Venison & Cranberry next! I give her that along with Products : PureBites.com which even tempts me with its aroma (can you tell I'm a fan of liver?

) but am still too nervous to try something packaged for non-human consumption even if the only ingredient listed is pure liver.

It was especially great when over the weekend, I went by PetSmart and came upon a coupon scan/sale where you get $5 off of $10+ purchase. They sold this there, so I stocked on another bag which was $9.99 at another chain store I originally bought from but was marked at $10.57 (or some odd number like that) at PetSmart so it just made it for the coupon deal! That costed me $5.5x for the one bag! I was tempted to buy more but was too lazy to go through the hassle of multiple $10/$5 transactions just to get the deal since it wasn't an auto $5 off of every $10 increment.
