 At our house our dog bowls are an uncoordinated mix-up of vintage souffle pan, and a couple of cute dog bowls. All are ceramic pottery which means taking some extra care to not crack or full-out break one. So when I was offered a Robusto dog bowl from Loving Pets, I happily agreed to give it a try. Loving Pets says their Robusto dog bowls are nearly indestructible. In fact, they survived a true test of durability. They ran one over with a 6500 pound truck and there was no damage! Seriously, no dents or scratches.  Robusto Bowls feature solid heavy gauge aluminum with cute creamic-like, bacteria resistant interiors. Reasonable prices from $9.99 to $19.99. Key Benefits:
We received a large size Robusto Bowl in ivory with scarlet dog bone interior pattern and I love it!
Though Jeffie and Rudy are not messy eaters or drinkers, Rosie seems to send more water onto the floor than she manages to get in her mouth. So I was delighted that we also received a Bella Mat to try, too.
Bella® Spill-Proof Dog Mats prevents splashes and retain spills. They have raised edges for maximum spill capacity, a slip-resistant, dog bone embossed surface, plus anti-skid feet to prevent slips, slides, nose and loor damage. They are non-toxic and BPA free. Great for indoor or outdoor use. Priced from $10.99 for the small size 18.25 x 13.25 x 1.5 high) and $13.99 for the large size (21.25 inches long by 15.5 inches wide by 1.75 inches high.)
Key Benefits:
 Our Verdict: All paws up! The Robusto bowl is definitely sturdy and easy to wash. Plus, it's very attractive. The Bella Mat is wonderful and saving our floors from Rosie's enthusiastic water lapping. Fetch Loving Pets Products website for more information and to purchase your own. * We received one large Robusto Bowl and Bella Mat from Loving Pets Products in exchange for our honest review of the products. We received no other compensation - financial or otherwise. Talking Dogs only shares information about pet products we believe our readers might enjoy. |

Science Diet Fruity Snacks for Dogs from @Chewy.com | Tasty Tuesday
Available in several varieties, we received the Apples and Oatmeal dog treats.
This attractive ziplock package contains quit a quantity of small, crunchy dog cookies. They really do look like little (human) cookies and have a good wholesome smell.

Naturally preserved, with no corn, artificial colors or flavors. Made with apples, natural sources of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Jeffie, Rudy and Rosie really love these treats. After the first sniff, even picky Jeffie was eager for more.
 |
| After one taste, Jeffie was eager for more of these tasty, crunchy treats. |
I like these treats because they're small enough to be great training treats. They're crunchy and good for my dogs' teeth and gums. They're made in the US with natural ingredients, too.
 |
| Jeffie and Rudy waiting their turn for another. They love doing dog treatreviews! |
I also like the story behind Hill's pet food:
The Hill's® pet food lines began in 1939. Dr. Mark L. Morris Sr. believed certain health conditions in pets could be managed through carefully formulated nutrition. His ideas were visionary in veterinary medicine, and he soon had the chance to prove his theory.
A young blind man named Morris Frank asked Dr. Morris if anything could be done to help his guide dog, Buddy, who was having kidney health issues. The result of Dr. Morris' efforts was the nutritional formulation that became the first product in the Hill's Prescription Diet line of therapeutic pet foods, and the world's first pet food designed for kidney health. Soon after, Hill's Pet Nutrition was founded and the field of clinical nutrition sprang to life. That first therapeutic dog food evolved into Hill's® Prescription Diet® k/d®, which is still sold today.
We frequently order from Chewy.com. I love their selection of over 300 brands of pet food, pet treats, pet toys and other pet supplies. In fact, I got a little carried away with their holiday sale on dog toys, but that's another blog post! Though Chewy.com is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they have warehouses located throughout the US, so usually orders are delivered in just a day or two. Plus, I love Chewy.com's Shelter and Rescue Network.
We're pleased to give Hill's Science Diet Fruity Snacks and Chewy.com our highest recommendation!

Natural Balance Jerky Dog Treat from Chewy.com: Product Review
As always, Chewy.com shipped our order speedily and before we knew it, Jeffie had the thrill of scaring the UPS delivery man.
That's always a bonus for Jeffie.

Natural Balance LIT Limited Ingredient Treats Jerky Bark Chicken and Sweet Potato Formula Dog Treats. These dog treats are designed with a limited number of protein and carbohydrate sources. Formulated to provide high quality nutrition and optimize skin and coat.
According to Natural Balance, these dog treats are highly palatable for picky dogs. They are grain-free and contain no corn, soy or wheat. In addition, they're made in the USA and contain no artificial flavors or colors.
Ingredients:

Product Review: Rubit Dog Tag Clip
 |
| Small Rubit.. |
Need a Christmas stocking stuffer for a dog lover? Have we got a great product for you!
In August I read about the Rubit Dog Tag Clip on the Chronicles of Cardigan blog. Elizabeth and Corgis, Jon Farleigh and Dewi, were testing them. I was definitely intrigued. You see, once the dog's tags are attached to the split ring on the Rubit, you can easily move all tags at once from one collar to another. No more broken fingernails, no more frustration.
Living beyond the sidewalks has it drawbacks. Though one of the farm supply stores in "our" town said they would be carrying them, time passed and they didn't actually appear.
Once again we were assisted by Chronicles of Cardigan. We were the lucky winners of a Rubit Dog Tag Clip from their Happiness is... pet photo contest.
 |
| The large round Rubit Dog Tag Clip we won. |
We received a large round clip in black as our prize. We loved it so much that we headed straight to the Rubit web store and ordered Rubit Dog Tag Clips for each of our dogs, plus some to give as gifts. The smallest one is perfect for my mom's Lhasa Apso.
The Rubit (roo-bit) Dog Tag Clip is so handy! When you want to change collars, just unclip the Rubit from one collar and clip it to the next. They're available in small, medium, and large sizes, plus a nice variety of colors.
We give the Rubit Dog Tag Clip our highest recommendation.
