Kong Rope Squeezz Toy Review

Posted on by

Product Review: KONG Squeezz Ball with Handle Dog Toy

Rescue Dog, Blue Belle, is happy to feature her video review of the toy we received from Chewy.com. We are playing inside today because the fires in Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho are bringing smoke into our beautiful sky. Not too much fun playing outside in the bad air.

Blue Belle loved playing with the Kong Squeezz Rope toy. The toy has a soft handle, which is perfect for dog lovers to play with their pooch.   There is a soft squeeker ball on one end and a durable rope ties it all together. The Kong Squeezz Rope toy works well as a toss toy, tug toy, and a toy for retrieving. The toy comes in a variety of colors. We received a blue toy, our favorite color.

Blue Belle loves this Kong toy. We recommend it.

Posted on by

3 year old Shaelee shares a video review of the dog dental treats Greenies. Blue Belle waits while we talk with Shaelee about the dog treats, Greenies. Shaelee is wearing gloves because she is allergic to dogs.

Blue Belle is the same age as Shaelee and we love the fact that Blue Belle is so gentle with her. We were not too thrilled when we realized that Shaelee is allergic to dogs, but we figured out how she can still enjoy being with Grandma and Grandpa and our dog Blue Belle.

When we adopted Blue Belle we tested her people skills.  She was so very gentle when we played with her and when we gave her a treat.  We wanted to make sure that our new forever dog would be a good fit for our family, including our one year old granddaughter.

Here is Shaelee and Blue Belle’s Review – Greenies

We were really excited to have the opportunity to review greenies, they have been a favorite of our family for years. It doesn’t take long for Blue Belle to gobble up a greenie, but I do think they are in her mouth and teeth long enough to freshen her breath.

We received a 12 pack of grain free Greenies from Chewy.com.  They arrived packaged in a box, the mail man brought them to our door.  Greenies say they are the total oral health solution.

  • Fights tarter buildup & plaque
  • Freshens breath
  • Maintains healthier teeth and gums
  • Naturally helps clean teeth

Blue Belle does likes the taste, and we are glad that they are low in calories and fat. An interesting fact that I wasn’t aware of – they have added vitamins and minerals.  Key to us, they are Made in the USA!

Shaelee, Blue Belle, Murry and Julie all recommend Greenies Dental Treats.

Dog Toy Review – The Odin A Geometric, Puzzle Dog Toy

Posted on by

Blue Belle, the Canine Dog Blogger reviews the Odin, a geometric puzzle dog toy.

Information about the Odin:

The Odin is a dog toy designed to look great in your home, while being a full featured puzzle toy. You place dog treats into the toy and then your dog tries to get the treats out by playing with the toy. It gives dogs the mental and physical stimulation they need and stays interesting to any dog who loves food.  The Odin was a kickstarter campaign reviewed by our dog blog.

Product:  The Odin by Up Dog Toys

Website: updogtoys.com

Discount for our Readers: Our readers can take 10% discount before 8/30/15 with the code DOGBLOG10.

Key features:

  • Modern, geometric design looks great in any home and stands out from other dog toys.
  • Geometric shape also makes the toy more fun and enjoyable because it prevents the toy from rolling around excessively and causes the toy to bounce unpredictably when thrown.
  • Male and female interlocking pieces allow The Odin to be chained together to offer more challenge and versatility. We plan to create new toys to attach to it as well.
  • Tough and large enough to not be swallowed by big dogs but light enough that small dogs can roll it around.
  • Dishwasher safe, non-toxic and phthalate free.
  • Four differently sized holes to allow treats of varying sizes to fall out. Smaller treats come out easier, while larger treats increase the challenge for skilled dogs.
  • Flaps to allow treats to be easily placed inside without falling out. Flaps also are a way for dogs to try to lick the treats instead of rolling or tossing the toy to get treats out.

We received two of the toys.  Blue Belle was so excited to see that the treats we placed inside the toys can easily drop out as she rolls the Odin around with her paw and nose. We do recommend this toy.  We will let Blue Belle tell the rest of the story.

 

Fantastic All Natural Dog Biscuits – Nutro Ultra Review

We Took These Great Dog Treats on Our Vacation

Dog Treat Review By:  Blue Belle, DogBlog Canine Contibutor

Canine Vacation - Road Trip

Canine Vacation – Road Trip

Blue Belle here, your dog blog canine contributor. There are two things I absolutely love – going for a ride in the car on a super vacation and snacking on yummy dog treats. My FurEver family took me on a great vacation to beautiful Washington State. We saw rocky mountains and stayed at our favorite pet friendly motel , The Aster Inn, in Cle Elum. We saw a cool waterfall at Snoqualmie Falls, and fields of flowers in the Skagit Valley. We even saw some funny looking kritters.

Nutro Ultra Dog Biscuits and Our Vacation

Nutro Ultra Dog Biscuits and Our Vacation

I must say my favorite part of the trip was eating the scrumpdillyicious dog treats from Nutro Ultra – All Natural Biscuits with Wild BlueBerry and Pomegranate. How did I get to experience such fine delights, you ask. Well let me tell you.

The doorbell rang, I barked (of course). Julie and I went to the door to see a delivery box left on the step. The parcel was from Chewy.com, one of my favorite websites for dog treats. We brought the package in before the stupid squirrels could even think of coming to investigate. I sniffed the box – ooh something smelled so good. Julie opened the box and sure thing, it really did smell good. It smelled like blue berries!

Nutro Ultra Wild Blueberry Dog Treats Arrive

Nutro Ultra Wild Blueberry Dog Treats Arrive

We decided they were the perfect treat to bring on our fun-filled doggie adventure to the great northwest. Every time we opened the package to snatch a treat, we would get a whiff of delicious wild blueberry and pomegranate. The aroma would fill the car and we would smile. So glad we chose to bring these treats on our fun and furry vacation. I totally think you and your pup will enjoy these flavorful dog biscuits, and if you can swing it, hop in your car and take your family on a trip to the Northwest.

Here’s what my dad, Murry, has to say about the biscuits: “I liked the dog treats because Blue Belle really loved them, and I like the smell of them.  They smell so good, I even wanted to eat them.  The Nutro Ultra Biscuits are easy to break apart, about the size of a quarter.  They really get the attention of your dog. One of my main concerns is feeding my pet good quality food and treats.  These treats have lots of antioxidants and a blend of three different kinds of protein, which is ideal for your dog.  So I would highly recommend them.”

The FabuLeash – A Dog’s Eye View Review

DogBlog: A Dog’s Eye View Review FabuLeash

Fabuleash Fabulous Collection of Pet Accessories

Fabuleash makes pretty beaded dog leashes and collars for small to medium sized dogs.

Dog people know that there are many different dog personalities.  The cute little dogs are usually owned by cute people.  Cute people like cute accessories for their fashionable pets.

We have been contacted to review a dog leash.  This is our first review for a dog leash.  I was rather surprised to see this beautiful little leash with such a sturdy design.

The leash we reviewed is the FabuLeash (FAB) FUCHSIA.

FabuLeash Dog Leash

FabuLeash Dog Leash

“Blue Belle – You look marvelous!” 

Some dogs are athletes, some dogs are hunters, some dogs are guard dogs, and some dogs are couch potatoes.  If you want your dog to look like a movie star, this leash is for you.  The FabuLeash is a little small for our dog, Blue Belle, but it actually is strong enough.  The clasp is very sturdy.  It has a smooth, double-riveted handle.  It is durable, comfortable and stylish.  The leash is made of acrylic beads on a steel cable line that has been pull-tested to over 100 pounds.

“Put a little catwalk in your dog walk. . . and be the envy of the dog run, park or city streets with our doggy dazzler of a leash.  Now walking your beloved pet is more fun n’ fashionable than ever!”

The leash is recommended for dogs 25 lbs and under.  Blue Belle is over 50 pounds, so it is not really a leash for her.  I think it would be great for a smaller dog who wants to be the fashionable talk of the dog walk.

There is a warning that this leash is not for children under 3 because there are small parts, so it can be a choking hazard.

The DogBlog thinks this is a winner of a dog leash for fashionable pooches.
