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.

And now for the best part…

The Dog Friendly Shake Shack

The Dog Friendly Shake Shack // Ammo the Dachshund

On a recent excursion I found myself at the King of Prussia Mall, right around dinner time I might add. Not one to pass up an opportunity to dine out with my family, I decided to try out one of the local dog friendly restaurants.

The Dog Friendly Shake Shack // Ammo the Dachshund

The Shake Shack is located just outside the mall, and has establishments in other states as well. I had heard rumors that they had a dog menu, so I couldn’t wait to try it out!

I waited patiently outside under our table while mom and dad went inside to check out the menu.

There was in fact a whole section of the menu dedicated to us furry four-legged patrons!

In collaboration with one of my favorite bakeries, Bocce’s Bakery, the Shake Shack offered up some tasty biscuits and frozen treats.

But alas, they were all sold out of both when mom and dad finally made it up to the counter to order!

There was no shortage of human food though and while my parents chowed down on hot dogs, burgers, fries and shakes, I was left staring at the table like this….

Don’t worry, when you look this cute you get your fair share of burgers and fries too!

I’ll just have to hit up the Shake Shack again soon to try out their doggie menu. What’s your dog’s favorite dog friendly restaurant? Share your favorites around the country in the comments below! Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: Modern Dog Bowls

I was browsing through some of my favorite online pet product retailers the other day when I stumbled across a line of modern dog bowls that are simply to die for. So I rounded up a few of my favorites from Waggo that I’m sure you’ll love.

Friday Fetch: Dining with Dogs

dining with dogsI like dining out just as much as my Mom and Dad, but finding restaurants that are dog friendly can sometimes be a bit tricky. So when I stumbled across the Dining with Dogs website the other day, I thought it was a great resource for pooches that hate to be left out on dinner dates.

Dining with Dogs features reviews of restaurants that allow dogs to dine in their outdoor eating areas. Currently they only have reviews in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, and New York – but anyone can submit a review of a restaurant in your own area.

Sadly there weren’t any listed in my home state of Pennsylvania, but I fixed that by submitting a review of one of my favorite restaurants to dine at, the Four Dogs Tavern in West Chester, PA. (It’s also were I first met Annie, the motorcycle mama) Hopefully it will be up on the site soon!

So I encourage all my fans to submit some reviews of their favorite pet-friendly restaurants so pets everywhere can find the best places to dine!

In the Doghouse

No, I’m not grounded. Are you kidding? I’m a perfect angel ALL THE TIME, most of the time, sometimes. *wink* *wink*

Actually though, I am in the Doghouse. Doghouse Burgers that is. Yeah I know, coolest name EVER! And the best part is that Doghouse Burgers is located just across the street from my mom’s shop in town. So when I’m being an extra perfect Angel, mom sometimes takes me over there for dinner. And if I’m really really good, I even get a taste of the best burgers in town. yum yum

Is my meal ready yet?

I think I’m gonna need a doggie bag

P.S. they also have hot dogs. But don’t worry, they aren’t made from cute weiner dogs, I checked.
