Opinions from a Canine Critic

On the Menu: French Country Cafe
(Duck, brown rice, carrots, Golden Delicious apples & garden peas)

Bonjour! This flavorful meal made me long for a vacation in dog-friendly France. It would have been even nicer accompanied by a glass of fine wine (my human said "no" to that request), but even with plain old water, c'est bon!

On the Menu: Bully Sticks (12-inch size)

My human jumps into the Wayback Machine sometimes and talks about how things used to be.  "Back in the day" she could only buy bully sticks imported from Germany, but they've been available in most stores since I was born.  Now you have to worry about "safe" countries.  These are made right here in the USA and are individully wrapped so they stay fresh. A tasty, challenging chew. My mouth was tired after 45 minutes!
On the Menu: Smothered Comfort
(Chicken with barley, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples and blueberries)

My human was leery of whole chicken thighs, but the bone is so soft you can mash it with a plastic spoon.  I was leery of the fruit and vegetables.  Pretty sneaky to mix them in with meat and potatoes, but you know what?  I like it!!  I guess I'm a foodie now!
On the Menu: Merrick Flossies Tendon Dog Chew

The twisty shape is supposed to create a natural chewing friction to help keep dog's teeth clean.  It was fun! Not a challenging chew for a big dog -- only took about 15 minutes to eat -- but a great taste!  Don't my teeth look nice?
