These jerky strips have a VERY strong odor to them. Now if you’re a dog like me, a strong odor like this is FANTASTIC, but if you have a weak human nose, well then you might not enjoy the odor as much.
Despite the strong odor, they were soft and chewy and as far as this dog’s tastebuds are concerned, delicious.
Because of the strong smell I was able to sniff these bad boys out even after mom put them away in her bag. Lets just say I tracked them down and ate a few more than I was supposed to before mom noticed.
It’s no secret that I’m no stranger to being in front of the camera lens. And frequently I’m asked how my mom gets me to pose so well for a photo – and honestly, it’s quite simple…
….COOKIES!
I’d do pretty much anything for a taste of cookie!
So next time you want your dog to sit still for a photograph, make sure you have your pockets filled with cookies! Your dog will thank you!

My pals over at Chewy.com recently offered me the chance to test out some of Nature’s Variety Instinct Rawboost Minis Treats in the chicken flavor. I’ve secretly always wondered what eating raw was like – as it seems to have become a trend within the dog community – and trying out these raw treats seemed like a great way to jump into it.
Mom’s a bit too “chicken” to let me eat all my meals raw, but with these Rawboost treats I can have a taste of raw meat without needing to eat my main meals raw. These Rawboost treats offer up real, all natural chicken and pure raw ingredients – in a freeze dried treat form.
These tiny treats boast only 2 calories per treat, perfect for us dogs that like to watch our figure, and they are a great size to use as training treats too.
Of course when I smelled that burst of raw chicken flavor I dropped everything and came sprinting over. Cricket better watch out, because when I smell chicken nothing is going to get in my way!
Nothing is ever truly free at my house, so mom made me work for my treats, but as you can see from the video below – I’d pretty much to anything for a taste of these scrumptious chicken bites!
You can fetch your own package of Instinct Rawboost Treats HERE.

Disclosure: I received a box of Rawboost treats from Chewy.com to review. All opinions are entirely my own.
I was super excited to dive into that bag of jerky, but then I thought to myself… “self, you should let your best friend Trooper try out these Jerky treats”…. especially since mom says jerky gives me the toots, as in room clearing toots! Which honestly I don’t understand what the big deal is anyway, but I decided to hand over the product testing to my good pal just because I like him so much.
So when I told Trooper that he got to be the one to test out the Premium Jerky Cuts, his eyes got real big and he started to drool!
I mean just look how big and juicy those jerky slabs are!
Trooper’s eyes glazed over as he dug into that soft meat, and I admit, I started to regret letting him try them instead of keeping them all to myself.
So if you’re looking for some tasty jerky to share with your best friend (or just keep all to yourself), check out these yummy Premium Jerky Cuts from Chewy.com!

One of my number one missions in life is to eat – my mom’s number one missions is to make sure I eat healthy. We may not always agree on what makes for a tasty snack (horse manure on the farm comes to mind), but when I came across Smart Cookie Dog Treats, I knew my mom couldn’t argue!

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Kong Premium Treats.
I recently got the chance to take the new line of KONG Premium Treats for a spin; I’m sure nearly every dog has a kong just laying around their house begging to be stuffed with yummies – I know I do!
I was excited to try this new line of treats because they boast:
No wheat, corn or soy
No artificial colors or flavors
No animal byproducts
Made in USA
I don’t know about you, but it’s so much easier to get my mom to buy me treats when they are made from stuff that’s good for me!
First up I decided to test the Chicken Mini Meat Bites, these little nuggets looked just the right size for me.
With the first ingredient being chicken, I can attest that these soft chewy treats were oh so yummy. They’re the perfect size to use as training treats and can even can be used to stuff certain kong toys.
These were just as delicious, but took me extra long to devour because they were inside my Kong – something mom claims is an extra plus, but I think it’s just a waste of time!
For my last taste test I saved my favorite, the Chew Buddies Variety Pack, mostly because what’s not to love about these adorable cookies! They were almost too cute to eat…….but my stomach won out in that battle.
I decided to dive into the T-Rex shaped one first, mostly because I felt a kindred spirit to him since I too have short stubby arms!
Mr. T-Rex didn’t last very long, but mom said he helped me fight plaque and tarter buildup with his crunchy body. I’m not really sure what all that means, but if it gets me more cookies then count me in.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my Kong Premium Treats taste test – but the best part is that you too can win your very own taste test!!

With Easter just around the corner it has me dreaming about what delectable treats Mr. Bunny will be leaving in my Easter basket this year.
So when I stumbled across the Paw Street Barkery and all their organic dog treats I just knew I would be secretly hoping some of them end up in my Easter Basket this year.
Drooling yet? You can fetch these drool-worthy treats from the Paw Street Barkery HERE.
If you’re anything like me then you can smell popcorn from a mile away! As much as I love to beg for that delectable popcorn, mom says all that butter and salt really isn’t that good for me. So I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Billy & Margot, makers of fine popcorn for dogs!
Their Popcorn is air popped making it a healthier alternative which is lower in fat and in calories. Popcorn contains fiber and is 100% whole grain and also gluten free. Plain popped corn makes a healthy treat and Billy & Margot’s even adds a special seaweed seasoning which is rich in a variety of minerals, vitamins and trace nutrients.
Billy & Margot also makes other mouth watering treats such as Iced Treats and Venison Bones.
You can fetch your own doggie popcorn and other goodies from Billy & Margot HERE.
Being a super hero I need to have certain tricks up my sleeves and on my tool belt. Tricks that can get me out of sticky situations, help me combat evil, and well, make me quicker and more agile when shimmying down groundhog holes! It’s because of this that I have learned to army crawl!
Teach Your Dog to Army Crawl
Learn to be stealth, agile and quick on your feet! Most importantly, fit down those groundhog holes with ease.
Step 1: Place a high value treat (something your dog really loves) in the palm of your hand, making sure that he knows it is there.
Step 2: Ask your dog to lay down by placing your hand on the ground in front of him.
Step 3: Slowly inch your hand away from your dog, encouraging him to shimmy across the ground after the treat. As soon as he moves closer to your hand (without lifting his front legs out of the lay down position) click and reward. If your dog pops up out of his lay down, ask him to lay again, and repeat the process until he does it properly.
Step 4: Continue asking your dog to inch along the ground until he understands what is wanted, you can then begin adding a verbal cue, such as the word “crawl”, and asking him to shimmy across the ground several times before getting his reward.
Congratulations, your dog can now army crawl. Now meet me at the groundhog holes, we’ve got some shimmying to do!
