LESS MEANS MORE WITH DOGWELL’S NUTRISCA LINE

Zak Gives a BIG Smile for the Limited Ingredients and a Higher Nutritional products
from Nutrisca Freeze Dried dinner bites!



Just as Hemmingway chose his words with the utmost care and thought, DOGWELL has introduced a better edited RAW Freeze Dried dinner.



They had me at Gluten Free, as my nutritional guru Lauren Kaufman www.secondnatureeats.com has helped me stay away from GLUTEN, Corn Wheat and Soy I observe her dietary intelligence for my 17-year-old dog Zachary.


I am glad to see these tenants observed in Nutrisca Freeze Dried Bites. These little nuggets are gloriously grain free and potato free and they pack a huge protein punch! The tests conducted where (a) label comparisons over other leading brands offering freeze-dried patties these puppies are higher in protein, fiber and lower in fat) and (b) the taste: to which my super allergic senior likes the limited ingredients and gobbled up the meaty aroma and didn’t have itchies after dinner.



My final vote is a big paws up! I recommend you try a small bag as a treat before you integrate into your dog’s diet. Doggie Dieters - if your pup is fighting the pudge due to inactivity – lower the amount of food and rehydrate bites – the back of the bag gives you feeding guidelines that you can play with and double check with your vet or mine if you live in NY or the Hamptons– Dr Cindy Bressler drcindybressler@gmail.com.


If your pup sticks his head too far in the food, bowl to like the gravy from the rehydrated bites – don’t forget to give a quick puppy facial with your FUR cleanser.

COMPLIMENTARY KIBBLE FROM LOTUS PET FOODS

CELEBRATE NATIONAL HOLISTIC PET DAY WITH HEALTHY CHOICES FOR YOUR PET!



SIGN UP TO FOLLOW THIS BLOG ...

I WILL SEND YOU COUPONS TO TRY THE LOTUS FOODS WET OR DRY AND MAKE YOUR KITTY PURR AND DOG WAG FOR MORE! (DRY FOOD COUPON SHOWN BELOW)

August 30th is National Holistic Pet Day and we all are looking for SENSIBLE and INTELLIGENT ways to NURTURE our fur kids! Whether we quest to find exercise classes to share with our pups like Doga or do reverse curls in the park while our old pups kiss our noses - this kissing workout is like an Olympic I LOVE MY DOG WORKOUT to me!

In today’s saturated marketplace, you might want a decoder ring to sift through the vast variety of well-formulated and enriched pet foods. WHY BE CONFUSED, just go to a better pet store where the owners are passionate and knowledgeable like I do! You get a second opinion and a friend out of working with your local dog store expert and can stay ahead of the trends. I always review with them what I learn on Vet visits and review products before I need them so I am a more informed consumer and I always look to see what is happening in the food section and how human grade ingredients are being used in better food lines.

I recently discovered LOTUS PET FOODS and I was immediately drawn to the cheerful packaging and wholesome ingredient list that contained many of my must have proteins, essential fatty acids and anti-oxidants that provide superior nutritional benefits. Once I read the label, I was ready to take some samples and see how Mr. Zachary liked it. I chatted for a bit about the line with the owner Neil Rosenblum and he said, “Mikel, you should really try this for Zachary - just look at the ingredients... “Neil prescribes to his clientele lifestyle regimes rather than sell product – so when he introduces me to something new I am always interested.

People are always amazed how wonderful my dogs energy level and overall health is and I truly attribute his shiny coat and healthy energy level to his food, lifestyle and personal care regime. I love asking Dimitri at Beasty Feast about nutrition and he was passionate about Lotus Foods. Dimitri explained more about why he loved the line: “Lotus is actually the only kibble that is baked versus and the LOTUS line is easier to digest because it is concentrated kibble.”

I was disenchanted to learn, a lot of lower quality foods spray on fat or flavor to kibble to make it more alluring to our pets. I give paws-up to LOTUS baked kibble because of the wholesome and healthy ingredients are the entire flavor they need and retains a palatable aroma because it doesn’t over cook the food. I love when an ingredient list is not only familiar but also a culmination of the very best ingredients and so does the Beasty Feast customer who well educated by this second-generation shop owner and wonderful staff!

Another guru or one of the wise men in the NYC marketplace on food and pet health products is Phil Klein. Phil reviewed the ingredients with me and like his other like-minded pet experts; he believes they work well with his Holistic Health programs. Phil sells pre and pro biotics, oils, chelated minerals and joint health and many remedies a-la-cart - so he sees this as a very good line to work with and is going to bring it in soon - so hold on to the coupon if you shop there!

Therefore, whether you want to customize the kibble or just trust that you selected a good line…. LOTUS is a good food to review. Go to any of the stores mentioned and get a sample to try. Breath deeply when you open the bag and you can enjoy the aromatic and natural chicken aroma like a light homemade broth! Each piece of kibble is lighter in color than traditional processed foods and has a cheery star stamped on it too! So go ahead and wish on the star for wholesome and delightful pet food for your cat and dog and your wish WILL come true!
