What Do The Hounds Eat? Nutro & Giveaway!
by Rachel Tayse • May 3, 2010 • Family, Fun or Funny • 14 Comments
The hound dogs in the house, Devie and Hawise, eat a lot of things: scraps Lil drops, food they lick from the dishes, birthday cakes, chicken poop, grass, peas from the garden, basically anything they can get their paws on. I only feed them one thing: Nutro dog food.
I have fed Nutro’s Adult Lamb and Rice formula for years. It keeps the dogs’ coats looking lustrous, they eat it well, and their stools are firm. Did I just write that? Well, it’s true, and a decent measure of food quality.
Recently the fine folks at Nutro offered me a sample of their Ultra Holistic Food.
When the bags arrived, Devie approached cautiously, sniffing the bags all over.
When Hawise entered the picture, Devie claimed the bags and growled for her to go away. Neither of them could tear into the bag alone so we helped them out with a little dog food day reenactment.
The dogs love the Ultra formula as much as any food, which is to say they gobble it up as if it were their last meal. Like the lamb and rice formula, Ultra Holistic keeps them looking fine and their digestive system continues to seem great so far as I can tell from what’s coming out the other end. The Ultra formula differs most from the Lamb and Rice with the addition of nutrient rich superfoods like avocado, salmon, blueberries, pomegranates and more to support immunity, heart health, and sharp vision.
In an ideal world, I would make my own food for the dogs from all natural local humanely raised meats, whole grains and vegetables. Right now, there isn’t room in our food budget nor my busy schedule for doing so. Nutro suits our needs and my dog’s health very well.
Now for the fun part: Nutro wants to feed your pup you too! Leave a comment with your favorite dog’s name. I’ll pick five random comments at 8 pm next Monday May 10 to receive a sample bag of Nutro Ultra! Be sure to leave a valid email address so I can contact you if you win.
The contest is over! Congratulations to winners Tracie, Tara, Lisa, Jen, and Betsy!
Lucy & Buster are our favorite dogs around here
Railey is the furry-family member at our house.
Kiska is Chief of Security at our house
Beanie– she was a runt German shepherd and fit into a coffee bean can. Thus, the name
Baxter, big, and Oscar, small, are our laughable twosome of trouble.
Molly and Happy = Double Trouble
But we wouldn’t want it any other way!
I love the photos. We have four of various sizes from giant to toy. The photo of “bag claiming” reminded me of what could be in my home!
My favorite dogs names are Hazel & Homer…I may be partial though, those are my dogs names! Love your blog!
I have to admit, I love my dog’s name Loki. It suits her perfectly. Loki is the Norse god of mischief and evil…and she can be both. ha! My friends had a rottie named Tiga, and I thought that was a great name, too.
Hattie, Lyla, and Coco – the Triple Threat!
Zoe was my favorite dog, a big, beautiful St Bernard that met a very tragic end
Currently have Jethro (fav name!) and Romeo. I lOVE naming animals!!
My hound is a dachshund named Shuggie. She’s named for 70s R&B singer Shuggie Otis.
Fang was my favorite dog. He could kill a dozen rats in 5 minutes, and would even take on a snake if you told him to. About Hawise’ size, he almost died in a tangle with a trapped coon one time.
