#ChewyInfluencer - Nutramax Cosequin Joint Health Supplement Review

Good Day Furiends!  I have another #ChewyInfluencer review for your viewing pleasure.  If you have been a reader for a little while you know I have some slight knee troubles.  Per my veterinarian it is a good idea to stay on a GCM supplement.  Well my last bottle of GCM chewables was just running out when I got the news that Nutramax Cosequin was on the list to be reviewed.    This is the brand Dr. Wurster recommended that made my tail wag wif joy.

Lets look at the info on the bag:


Cosequin plays an important role in maintaining optimal joint function. Healthy articular (joint) cartilage is crucial to joint utility. Cosequin helps support cartilage production and protect existing cartilage from breakdown. Cosequin is the only glucosamine sulfate supplement that has been shown safe, effective, and bioavailable in peer-reviewed, published, controlled, U.S. veterinary studies.
Key Benefits
  • Cosequin maximum strength with MSM contains glucosamine and chondroitin for mobility, cartilage and joint support, as well as omega-3’s for a healthy skin and coat
  • Supports cartilage production and protects existing cartilage from breakdown
  • Use Cosequin to help your pet be healthy to climb stairs, rise, and jump
  • \#1 veterinarian brand for joint support
  • Moist and tasty soft chews that your pup will love

Impawtant information about ingredients.  This is the max strength formula which has:


Glucosamine 600mg; Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate 300mg; MSM 400mg; Omega 3's 70mg; For puppers my size a whole treat is recommended daily to start then a whole treat every other for maintenance.

I am excited to dig right in!

Wow!  These look like giant training treats!  You sure dis is medicines?

Size comparison.  They are larger than my training treats but that makes them great mid morning snack size! YES!!!!

*Sniff Test* Oh my that made my tummy go rummbly!

Squirrell!!!!!


Sorry about that, now it's time for the most impawtant part!  Are you ready fur-kids?

....accepting.....

...processing....

Well this photo just speaks for itself!  Cosequin is lip lickin' good!!!!!


Through out my time testing this product at home I never turned down one down. I eat them on my couch, on my table and even on my new patio bench.

In conclusion I give Nutramax Cosequin Joint Health Supplements a 5 star (*****).  They are quite tasty (especially for a PICKY pups, momma's term not mine.), are not too large for a small breed dog to chew, and so far have continued to help my knees feel better.  Momma likes that it has quality ingredients, is palatable, is a trusted brand by veterinarians and conveniently available on Chewy.com.

So if you are needing vitamins, supplements, food or toys, check out Chewy.com and remember they AUTOSHIP for easy ordering.  Plus you get the latest catalog for your pawing pleasure!


Smooches,

Earning My TKP Title

After much success with my TKI and TKA titles I decided to go for my TKP.  With TKP (AKC rules as of May  2018) you have a pawrent film the tricks with or without a story and submit to the AKC for evaluation.  Side note: rules and regulations are now (as of June 1, 2018) different so please view the AKC website for that information.


I took brought some props out to the park so we could film.


I ran around got my ya-ya's out and got into the zone!

Ready Freddy!


We filmed 10 previously learned tricks from Novice, Intermediate & Advanced levels (Paws Up, Hup, Touch, Puzzle, Bell, Open, Wave, Shake, Jump for Joy, and Tap).  Sent in the paperwork and video in via email.  I can't wait to hear back from the AKC!!!!

Pupdate: I did hear back from the AKC via e-mail.  They approved my video and I have offically earned my TKP. 

Smooches,
Lucy

New Furcut Photoshoot

When we got home after grooming I wanted to get some Instagram Photos with my new hair do.  The "H" complex just recently did some spring time landscaping and put in a rock garden...and some nice large rocks that are conveniently poodle sized!!!!! So here we go:



Momma's favorite!




Then I decided to take a rest break on the pic-nick table.



Momma continued to shoot while I was relaxing.

*Yawn*




Momma, I'm ready to head in for the ac now.  Are you done?



Smooches,

Growin' Back My Bracelets!

While I LOVED having less fur to keep combed (it's one of the un-fun things I make momma feel bad for doing...what...I don't like it!) and being more aerodynamic.....I MISSED MY BRACELETS!!!!!! They were my trademark so I am growin' them back.   I wrote a note to Miss Faith and here is my before picture at Margot's Grooming Shop.  I was a tiny bit distracted by Pepper the shop cat.  I gave her lotsa kisses when I got inside.


Ta Da!  They may be petite but they are cute-ite...Ok that doesn't rhyme but you get it right?!?!

#ChewyInfluencer - Product Review - StarMark Bob A Lot

Welcome Furiends!  Today I have a wobbly good review for you!!!!  Does your pet LOVE puzzles?  Does your pet LOVE a challenge?  Does your pet LOVE treats?  Well if you answered yes to any of these or all of these your pet will love the StarMark Bob-A-Lot treat dispensing toy.


It wobbles, it bobbles, it tosses treats, but it never falls down!!!!!! I chose the small to medium size and as a 12 pound poodle girl it was the perfect size and weight for me!  Don't worry big fur-kids, there is a larger version available for you as well! 

Info for the Pawrents eyes only:

The Bob-a-Lots yellow lid unscrews and inside is a trap door.

This slides open for easy filling of treats or kibble.

Once filled with yummy treats you will adjust the dispensing door for different difficulty levels.


Start with all the way open so treats come out quickly and easily.

As your pet becomes a pro-bobber only open half way to make it more challenging.


On to the bobbing! Where ever shall I begin?

Inspecting the treats inside.  Yes smells of Bil-Jac Training Treats. 

Lets get this pawty started!!!!! *Queue the fun boppy music*







All empty now!  My work here is complete!

After multiple rounds of research (and treat eating) I give this StarMark Bob-A-Lot a grand 5 Stars (*****).  It's unique in shape, size, and in the way the treats are dispensed.  It makes puzzle time even more fun and enjoyable!  I also love that if your ready for more of a challenge your pawrent can easily adjust the dispenser door. I would recommend this for any puzzle loving dogs! Mom loves its engaging, easy to clean and easy to fill.  Happy Bobbing!!!


Smooches,
Lucy
