Brothers Complete Allergy Dog Food and Treats Review + A Giveaway

As you may already know, my buddy Trooper and I have been on a rotational diet since we were just wee pups, meaning we’re always rotating the foods we eat. We’re always on the lookout for new foods to add to our diets, and recently I was introduced to the dog food brand Brothers Complete.

Brothers Complete Allergy Dog Food and Treats Review + A Giveaway

Brothers Complete is a family owned and operated business that believes in making the most nutritious and healthy dog food. They are committed to making an ultra premium dog food that is exceptional at rebalancing and restoring a dog’s health and maintaining a vibrant state of health throughout it’s life. Since I plan to live FOR-EVER, this is great news.

Not only do they make a line of dry pet food, but they also make their own biscuits and jerky too. The Brothers Complete line of treats contain no grain, no white potato, no sweet potato, and no sugar in any form. And as I’m informed by the people who monitor my food intake (aka mom), sugars = bad.

Trooper and I loved sampling their line of treats and mom loved that their biscuits included a special blend of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients for a treat that is nutritionally complete and balanced.

The Brothers Complete Biscuit Treats are formulated to compliment and work effectively in conjunction with all the Brothers Complete Advanced Allergy Dry Dog Food Formulas. Trooper and I found that they were a great crunchy size to clean our teeth after meals too.

Brothers Complete Jerky treats were only made from a single ingredient and just like all the Brothers products they are sourced and made right here in the USA.

Brothers Complete believes that a poor diet is primarily responsible for 95% of the allergy and skin conditions that dogs have nowadays. While neither Trooper or I have any food allergies (other than I have a sensitivity to dairy), I decided to let my buddy Trooper test out this food first since he has a history of fatty tumors. These fatty tumors (aka Lipomas) are non-cancerous and can be hereditary, but some studies have shown that a poor nutritional diet can attribute to them as well. While Trooper has always been fed the best, we figured letting him chow down on the Brothers Complete line can only help! Even if your dog doesn’t have allergies, Brothers Complete can be a great choice for making sure your pet gets a nutritional diet.

Key Features of Brothers Complete Dry Dog Food:

  • Does NOT use any grain, potato, or sugar in any form in any of it’s formulas
  • Uses human grade ingredients and sources ingredients from the USA
  • Their Dry Dog Food comes in 4 different limited ingredient formulas for dogs with allergies to certain foods
  • Food is made in small batches on a more frequent basis so it is always fresh
  • Contains high levels of the best quality protein derived from human grade sources and is low in fat. Over 90% of the protein in Brothers is derived from animal protein

You can read their full ingredient list on their website as well as more detailed information about the quality of their pet foods.

So after nearly a month of eating Brothers Choice (the Venison formula) twice a day Trooper reported back that he was more energetic and playful and his coat was extra shiny and soft! I will definitely be adding Brothers Choice into my diet as well and my pal Trooper is looking forward to continuing to eat this great food too.

You can pick up the Brothers Choice Dry Dog foods in 4 great formulas; Chicken and Egg, Lamb and Egg, Turkey and Egg, & Venison and Egg from the Brothers Choice Website.

What to Do When Your Pet Has Seasonal Allergies

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s Springtime. The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, and the pollen is flying. And just like you, I have seasonal allergies too!

My sneezing has been keeping everyone up at night, and that’s no fun for anyone.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

Thankfully my vet recommended I take a dose of Zyrtec (I’ve been using the generic version of it) each night before I go to bed.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

And thankfully my mom knew I needed something extra special to “help the medicine go down”. These Wellness Core SuperFood Protein Bars from Chewy.com are the perfect addition to my allergy med dose.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

These nutrient-dense protein nuggets are packed with quality animal protein, without fillers or grains, and with wholesome superfoods. Their chewy size is easy to break apart into smaller doses to take my medication each night.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom cuts one of my Zyrtec pills in half  – I weigh 20lbs and she’s been giving me a 5mg dose once a night – although my vet said I could take 10mg.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

She then hides my pill inside my Wellness Protein Bars. I’m none the wiser (although don’t tell mom I’d probably eat anything she handed me) and mom feels better knowing I’m not only eating a 100% natural (made in the USA) treat that I go crazy for, but that I won’t be up all night sneezing either.

So if you’re in need of a good wholesome treat, that can also double as a pill disguiser I recommend checking out the Wellness Core Grain-Free Protein Bars from Chewy.com!

They smelled so delish that I couldn’t even keep my paws off them long enough for mom to snap a few photos.

Wild Salmon is high in protein and low in calories and saturated fat. Great to give your pets with food allergies and they’re also made in the USA.

Evanger's Wild Salmon Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Made with just one ingredient (Salmon) these treats tasted like they were fresh out of the stream! They were a bit too crumbly to be used as a training treat when we are out and about, but made for the perfect after dinner snack!
