Dog Food for Pets with Allergies + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this product review and giveaway is brought to you by Brothers Complete. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love.

Brothers Complete Allergy Dog Food and Treats Review + A Giveaway

As you may already know, my buddy Trooper and I have been on a rotational diet since we were just wee pups, meaning we’re always rotating the foods we eat. We’re always on the lookout for new foods to add to our diets, and recently I was introduced to the dog food brand Brothers Complete.

Brothers Complete Allergy Dog Food and Treats Review + A Giveaway

Brothers Complete is a family owned and operated business that believes in making the most nutritious and healthy dog food. They are committed to making an ultra premium dog food that is exceptional at rebalancing and restoring a dog’s health and maintaining a vibrant state of health throughout it’s life. Since I plan to live FOR-EVER, this is great news.

Brothers Complete Allergy Dog Food and Treats Review + A Giveaway

Not only do they make a line of dry pet food, but they also make their own biscuits and jerky too. The Brothers Complete line of treats contain no grain, no white potato, no sweet potato, and no sugar in any form. And as I’m informed by the people who monitor my food intake (aka mom), sugars = bad.

Brothers Complete Allergy Dog Food and Treats Review + A Giveaway

Trooper and I loved sampling their line of treats and mom loved that their biscuits included a special blend of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients for a treat that is nutritionally complete and balanced.

The Brothers Complete Biscuit Treats are formulated to compliment and work effectively in conjunction with all the Brothers Complete Advanced Allergy Dry Dog Food Formulas. Trooper and I found that they were a great crunchy size to clean our teeth after meals too.

Brothers Complete Jerky treats were only made from a single ingredient and just like all the Brothers products they are sourced and made right here in the USA.

Brothers Complete believes that a poor diet is primarily responsible for 95% of the allergy and skin conditions that dogs have nowadays. While neither Trooper or I have any food allergies (other than I have a sensitivity to dairy), I decided to let my buddy Trooper test out this food first since he has a history of fatty tumors. These fatty tumors (aka Lipomas) are non-cancerous and can be hereditary, but some studies have shown that a poor nutritional diet can attribute to them as well. While Trooper has always been fed the best, we figured letting him chow down on the Brothers Complete line can only help! Even if your dog doesn’t have allergies, Brothers Complete can be a great choice for making sure your pet gets a nutritional diet.

Key Features of Brothers Complete Dry Dog Food:

  • Does NOT use any grain, potato, or sugar in any form in any of it’s formulas
  • Uses human grade ingredients and sources ingredients from the USA
  • Their Dry Dog Food comes in 4 different limited ingredient formulas for dogs with allergies to certain foods
  • Food is made in small batches on a more frequent basis so it is always fresh
  • Contains high levels of the best quality protein derived from human grade sources and is low in fat. Over 90% of the protein in Brothers is derived from animal protein

You can read their full ingredient list on their website as well as more detailed information about the quality of their pet foods.

Brothers Complete Allergy Dog Food and Treats Review + A Giveaway

So after nearly a month of eating Brothers Choice (the Venison formula) twice a day Trooper reported back that he was more energetic and playful and his coat was extra shiny and soft! I will definitely be adding Brothers Choice into my diet as well and my pal Trooper is looking forward to continuing to eat this great food too.

You can pick up the Brothers Choice Dry Dog foods in 4 great formulas; Chicken and Egg, Lamb and Egg, Turkey and Egg, & Venison and Egg from the Brothers Choice Website.

Dehydrated Pet Food from The Honest Kitchen + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by The Honest Kitchen. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

As you may have read on my blog last week, I’ve recently taken the plunge into trying dehydrated pet food. Since I’ve been on a rotational diet since I was just a wee pup I’m always excited when mom finds a few food for me to try. This time around I got to try the Revel Chicken Recipe from my friends at The Honest Kitchen!

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

If you’re unfamiliar with de-hydrated dog food, it is essentially raw foods that have been dehydrated to lock in the nutrients. It’s less processed than dry food, and typically needs water to “plump up”.

The Honest Kitchen’s dehydrated pet food, treats and supplements are made from 100% human grade whole foods.

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

The Honest Kitchen makes several varieties of pet food including grain free, whole grain, and even limited ingredient foods for sensitive pets, or pets with allergies.

Revel is the food I started out with, and had been eating over the past few weeks. It’s a whole grain chicken food with Free-range chicken, organic barley, potatoes, organic flax, organic oats, green peas, carrots, bananas, parsley, organic kelp, celery, tricalcium phosphate, choline chloride, zinc amino acid chelate, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, potassium iodide, potassium chloride, iron amino acid chelate, copper amino acid chelate, thiamine mononitrate.

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

A 2 lb. box of Revel costs $15.99, and if you consider that I eat 1/3 cup twice a day, a 2lb. box (which contains about 8 cups of food) would end up costing me $1.33 a day and would last me 12 days (and there is even bigger savings when you buy larger quantities).

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

Now let me just say, I’ve never been much of a morning dog, but ever since Revel showed up at my door I’ve been an early riser because I just cannot wait to get my breakfast! No joke, I’m the first one out of bed now ready and waiting to be served my Honest Kitchen meal.

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

I’ve been eating about 1/3 cup twice a day for the past several weeks – and loving every minute of it.

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

The hardest part about eating dehydrated is having to wait that agonizing 3 minutes while it “puffs up” after mom adds hot water. I have to say though, after about a month I’m starting to get a bit more patient for my meals now, and mom likes how it’s teaching me to have more self control (as if dachshunds have any of that!).

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

The aroma of chicken noodle soup (which is what mom says it smells like) fills my house at mealtime, and I scarf that puppy down! After a month of eating dehydrated food from The Honest Kitchen mom even noticed that my coat seemed shinier and softer too.
