Description:  Benebone's Wishbone Chew isn't your average chew toy.  Made with real bacon and durable nylon, the ergonomic wishbone will keep your dog chewing and each prong has deep flavor grooves to keep 'em interested!  Along with your purchase, you will also be supporting animal welfare nationwide, as a portion of all Benebone sales are donated to animal support organizations.

Benefits:

~ Made of super strong nylon and food grade bacon

~Deep grooves and ergonomic curves allow pups to get a good bite and increased surface area for improved scent and flavor.

Please keep in mind that Benebones are not edible.  They are for chewing only.  Should you notice your dog has gotten any chunks out of the bone, please take the bone away immediately.

Unfortunately, this product was not a hit for my three.  As you can see in the photos, Romey gave the bone a little taste...as did Juliet, but they truly were not interested.

Head on over to Chewy.com and check out their selection of chews!

We were provided with the Benebone Wishbone at no charge from Chewy.com for our honest review.  We did not receive any monetary compensation.

#PetSafe Raises Awareness for Pet Hydration with the Drinkwell Sedona Fountain

~Disclosure:  PetSafe provided me with this fountain for the purposes of review.  No other compensation was received  All opinions are my own and PetSafe is not responsible for the content of this review.~

Did you know that your pet needs one ounce of water per pound of body weight each day?

 Are you aware that 

many pets instinctively prefer to drink moving water? 

PetSafe^® is sponsoring Pet Hydration Awareness Month to help educate pet parents about the importance of proper pet hydration.  We are checking out the new PetSafe Drinkwell Sedona Fountain!

“These hot summer days can cause even the healthiest of pets to suffer from dehydration, heat stroke or sunburn,” said Willie Wallace, CEO of Radio Systems^® Corporation, makers of the PetSafe brand. “Therefore, it’s extremely important that pet parents take extra precautionary steps to help keep their pets healthy and hydrated this summer.”

Essential to a pet’s overall health and well-being, water supports vital organ functions and is responsible for important bodily functions including digestion and waste removal.

 A pet’s body is made up of 80 percent water, and can result in serious health issues if a pet becomes dehydrated.

To help pet parents understand the health risks of dehydration, PetSafe brand has developed an infographic outlining important facts about pets and proper hydration. The infographic illustrates the recommended daily water intake for pets – one ounce per pound of body weight – as well as the steps to take if a pet becomes dehydrated.

We also have the PetSafe Drinkwell Pagoda Fountain in Blue...you may remember we reviewed it last year.  Chloe has to "check" out the new fountain to see if it is the same as "her" other fountain.  Once she realized it really has AWESOME tasting water...she took to it right away!!

Go ahead and pick up one of these fountains for your furry friend today...you will love the simplicity of cleaning it and assisting with your pet's hydration as well!

Personally, I love the fact that it is so quiet...it is almost silent!
And just as a reminder...here are a few MORE tips regarding Pet Hydration from PetSafe!!

We Trust the Experts in Quality, Safety, and Nutrition #WeBelieveInNB

**This post is sponsored by NaturalBalance® and the BlogPaws® Professional Pet Blogger Network™.  I am being compensated for helping to share our thoughts about why we believe in Natural Balance as a quality food for our dogs.  Bichonpawz only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers.  Natural Balance Pet Foods is not responsible for the content of this article.**

One of the reasons we chose to begin the journey with Natural Balance® back in November 2016 was because we discovered after researching all the different brands that Natural Balance shared many of our own values!  Their "Buy With Confidence"® promise comes from many years of experience creating premium pet food.  It means a lot to us that they believe every bowl should be nutritious and safe...yet taste great too!!

Natural Balance crafts their premium foods out of quality ingredients.  Chloe and LadyBug just love the taste of the Wild Pursuit™ Trout, Salmon Meal, and Tuna Dry Dog Formula.  Natural Balance Wild Pursuit is a grain free diet with elevated levels of protein.  It resembles what our dogs would eat if they were out in the wild.  We absolutely will continue to feed Natural Balance for several reasons!  The flavors are derived from nature...NO artificial flavors.  Natural preservatives such as fish products and oils are included in the food...NO chemical preservatives.  Many food sensitivities are caused by corn, wheat, and soy.  Natural Balance guarantees they never use these items in their food.  They also guarantee that they don't use chicken or poultry by-products.  Some pets can be extra sensitive to grains and Natural Balance has taken that into consideration also by offering lots of grain-free choices in their food product line, as well as their treat product line.

Strict safety testing in accredited laboratories is performed on each and every single batch of food and treats that carry the Natural Balance name.  They actually perform NINE safety tests on each batch of food and treats.  I guess if we really think about it, how else could they guarantee that these premium quality ingredients would stay that way from the factory to our kitchens??  Every single test is conducted by chemists and microbiologists.  I won't go into all of the details of what each of the tests entails.  Suffice it to say that in-depth testing is performed for Aflatoxin, Cyanuric Acid, Vomitoxin, Shiga Toxin Producing Escherichia Coli, Fumonisin, Melamine, Ochratoxin, Salmonella, and Zearalenone.  Now, if all that doesn't make you feel as good about purchasing Natural Balance as we do, we're not sure what will!!

The results of all of these tests are available publicly...just go to their website and enter the product date code and info and you'll get the results right away!

The Natural Balance Buy With Confidence guarantee is based upon four core beliefs:

1) Premium Quality Ingredients

2) Nutrition Experts

3) Safety Testing

4) 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed

There are several different varieties of Natural Balance that Chloe and LadyBug consume on a daily basis.  Among their favorites (besides the food) are Belly Bites, Delectable Delights, Dental Chews, and Mini Rewards.  The Mini Rewards work great for inserting in their indoor puzzle games...the pieces are very small, chewy, and fit nicely in each of their games!

It is very difficult, if not impossible, for us to pick the most important core belief we share with Natural Balance because it is not just one thing.  It is a combination of all of the core beliefs that Natural Balance has.  It is SO important, especially in today's world, to KNOW for sure that the food we are feeding our furry family members is the exact food that is guaranteed to be safe and nutritious and is backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.  Thank you, Natural Balance!!  We wish more companies felt the same level of commitment to their customers as you do!

We are currently rotating between Wild Pursuit, Delectable Delights, and the Dog Food Rolls.  Chloe and LadyBug are fans of all three...and they do prefer variety in their diet!!

Head on over and show our sponsor some love...

Be Confident in the Natural Balance Nutrition Experts #WeBelieveinNB

This post is sponsored by Natural Balance® and the BlogPaws® Professional Pet Blogger Network™. I am being compensated for helping to share our thoughts about why we believe Natural Balance is a quality food for our dogs and cats.  Bichonpawz only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Natural Balance Pet Foods is not responsible for the content of this article.  All opinions are my own.

Natural Balance® believes in hiring experts to answer any questions their customers may have in regard to health and nutrition for their furry family members.  Every SINGLE member of the Natural Balance Customer Care Team is a bonafide Veterinary Technician with a degree in Animal Health Science from an accredited institution.  Natural Balance is absolutely dedicated  to providing top notch nutrition. Their dedication to health and wellness is unmatched!

When it comes to feeding Chloe and LadyBug, it is important to me to consider all of the options...and with Natural Balance, there are many!!  The Natural Balance website is extremely user friendly with filters to choose life stages, type of food, size of the animal, and which category of food your pets prefer.

I consider myself lucky as my bichon frises are fairly consistent in what they can and cannot tolerate in different types of foods.  I went to the Natural Balance website and selected the filters pertaining to my dogs.  Life Stage is Senior, Type is Dry, Size of Animal is Small, and I was looking for High Protein food.  The chart narrowed our food selection down to three choices:  all three of them were from the Wild Pursuit line.  Now, since Chloe and LadyBug both LOVE seafood, I chose the Wild Pursuit Trout, Salmon Meal, and Tuna Dry Dog Formula.

Let me point out that there are certain ingredients that you will NEVER, ever find in Natural Balance foods...and they are:  artificial flavors, chemical preservatives, soy, wheat, corn, by-product meals, and refined grains.  Some of the tastiest and most nutritious ingredients in their foods are green peas, sweet potatoes, brown rice, whole grains, salmon, chicken, venison, lamb, bison, buffalo, taurine, salmon oil and NATURAL preservatives...just to name a few!!

One of the main reasons I am confident feeding Natural Balance to my dogs is the Buy With Confidence 100% Satisfaction Guarantee Policy.  Natural Balance is aware that not all foods will work for all pets...so they offer the assistance of their Certified Veterinary Technicians to assist in determining exactly which type and flavor of food will work best for your pet.  If you are not 100% satisfied, they make it very easy to obtain a refund by simply returning your purchase to the store along with your receipt and the unused portion of food.  Yes!  It really IS that easy!!

Natural Balance knows that not only does the food have to be healthy, it must be SAFE!!  Every single batch of their food is tested in their state of the art laboratory before it leaves the factory.  Not only that....the results are available to the consumer so you can ALWAYS be totally confident that what you are feeding your pet is safe.

Not only do the girls like the taste of the Natural Balance foods, they also like the taste of many of their treat choices!!  

Please visit the Buy with Confidence Page on the Natural Balance website.  The Natural Balance Guarantee and Safety Testing made ALL the difference to me!  Talk about total transparency!!

I am so very glad I made the switch to Natural Balance and Chloe & LadyBug agree with me!  I want my dogs to lead long, healthy lives and they will...with the help of Natural Balance!!
