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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The peach blossoms in my backyard are starting to bloom.

And when the peach blossoms start to bloom, the bunnies start to come out and play.

And when the bunnies start to come out to play there are lots of smells in my backyard.

And when there are lots of smells in my backyard I start to dig, and dig, and dig, and dig some more.

And I’m pretty sure what comes next in this story involves me in a bathtub with lots of soap. Welcome to Spring!
