Product Review: Zesty Paws Pet Conditioner



Product Review: Zesty Paws Oatmeal Anti-Itch Pet Conditioner


Product Link: https://zestypaws.com/collections/our-collection/products/pet-conditioner


With the summer heat, and the bugs that plague the entire outdoors - our dog has managed to rub the fur off her backside trying to scratch the inevitable itch. So, I am always on the look-out for anything that will give her a bit of relief from the "skritches". 


This conditioner is from Zesty Paws, not only helps soothe the itchy skin that many pets feel at various times during the year, but it also smells fantastic. Ingredients include aloe, oatmeal and shea butter - all of which are fantastic for soothing, moisturizing and healing irritated skin. 

The conditioner is thick, as you can see in the picture below - this product is not watery and therefor it's high quality and a little amount goes a long way.


The results are great, leaving my dogs' fur soft and smelling like sweet oatmeal. Her skin seems to be softer as well, and she didn't try to scratch herself at all after her bath! 

One more side note:  This product is specifically made for PETS. Although, my daughter loves the smell so much - she wants to use it on her hair.

Product Review: NolongerWild Dog Treat Bag



Product Review : Dog Treat Bag from NoLongerWild

Amazon Link: Here


Pros: 
  • It holds a ton of stuff! *see all the pics below*
  • Various straps and a belt clip. 
  • It's cute, but not girly.  
  • Room for doggie potty bags. 
  • A little mesh bag in front that is "breathable".

Cons:
  • I couldn't find any!! 




Firstly, I honestly love this item. It's a handy product to have for travel, or for taking your dog for a walk. A lot of people multi-task these days and walk their dog while doing other things (checking the mail and running for health, are a couple examples). This bag helps you keep the items you need and a few you might just want - all in one place. 


There are some really handy pictures on the Amazon page HERE that show in detail all the features that this small bag has. 

It looks small, but I put both of these cans of 13 oz. dog food in there. With room at the top to spare. 



In the picture below you will see the bag with a regular size water bottle and 2 bags of treats. This bag has plenty of room for whatever you may want, and a drawstring at the top to keep it all snug inside.


The handy places for all your necessities, including the white mesh in the front for a cell phone. It's a "breathable" fabric, so it wont muffle your ring tones! There are also two strap options and a belt clip, which gives you the choice of having it hang from your own belt, using the belt strap, or using the long strap as a shoulder strap. There is a place to put potty bags in the back, with a dispenser for grabbing one as needed. . 



This bag is a real 'must-have' for anyone with pets, it's not just for dogs!

Product Review : Zesty Paws Joint Support



Product Review

Zesty Paws Join Support - Mobility Enhancing Formula. 

Item Link: HERE


My dog, Lyla is only 2 years old...but she has some hip issues, she whimpers at times when she jumps up onto the sofa. There are times when she doesn't feel like running or being a playful pup. This supplement is made for pets that have had an injury in the past or like my Lyla- any pet who may have a genetic disposition to joint issues. 

This supplement from Zesty Paws is specifically formulated to help improve pets mobility. The webpage says these chewables "are all-natural chews made with glucosamine chondroitin for joint mobility and a host of other wholesome nourishing ingredients including vitamin E and flaxseed meal" (ZestyPaws, 2017). 


Pros:
  • They have a duck flavored 'coating' on them, so my dog was sniffing these things like she wanted to eat them whole. 
  • Chewable means crushable, so they can be easily smashed up and added to foods. 
  • For both dogs AND cats, so you only have one bottle for both pets. No worries of mixing up the wrong supplements for the wrong animal. 
  • Also promotes heart health. 
Cons:
  • These are a bit large for MY dog, and much too large for a cat. HOWEVER~ your dog may gobble them up whole, and/or they can be broken smaller or crushed. I smashed them up into canned food, they ate it with no problems at all.  


Overall, these are fantastic. I really like that the chewables have a flavor to them, since a lot of animals will "pick out" the foreign ingredient in wet foods (which is how I always sneak pills and medicines, it works on kids too...haha). The duck flavor makes my pets want to eat them, and not leave them in the bowl. 

I have been giving these to my dog for only 3 days, so I can not judge how well they work on a long term basis...but I admit I DO notice she is happy to jump around when she usually doesn't. 

Try them out and see!
