Petbrosia Dog Food
petbrosia

**Formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life states.**

Houston! We have a problem!  Petbrosia sent us a bag of their customized all-natural pet food for our dog Gracie to taste test, and now Gracie thinks that’s all she should eat aside from her treats.  She won’t touch the food we bought prior to the arrival of Petbrosia’s!  Psst…In case she’s (Gracie) wondering, she’s finishing the old food – it was a full big bag!

For the purpose of this review, I place the food in a clear plastic cover so that you could see the size of the morsels.  They are on on the smaller side, which suits Gracie very well even though she’s a big do.  We believe this to be because she has such an overbite.  She is also enjoying this meal lying down – something I really discourage because I don’t need her getting bloat.

What is so ironic about her wanting this food is that Gracie is NOT fond of chicken, potatoes, or rice.  She’s a pain in the butt to buy for.  That said – she LOVES this food – and she’s not the only one that loves the food – our cats do too!   This pic below would be Snapples eating it.

You ask…What is Petbrosia?

Petbrosia is Customized Nutrition for your unique pet – cat or dog – that is delivered to your door. That’s a time saver.  In addition to saving time, you’re feeding your pet food with all-natural meats, fruits, and vegetable designed just for them.

How’s Petbrosia work?

On their website where you see “Start Here”,  you fill in pertinent information that Petbrosia uses to arrive at what is the best food option is for your pet.

Let’s take a look at how it came to be that Gracie would be best fed the Chicken and Potato Formula.

After I answered these questions pertaining to her age, weight, activity level, allergies etc:

about your pet petbrosia

I was then given the Assessment Information:

Gracies Petbrosia assessment

Here’s another assessment page view.  This one includes what Petbrosia recommends (I’ve taken out the price simply because my price may be different than yours).

petbrosia recommendation

And that’s how we ended up with the Chicken and Potato Formula opposed to the formula that contains salmon.

Regardless of whether it be chicken or salmon formula – both options are made with real free-run (chicken & salmon).  They also are antibiotic and hormone-free.  There is no corn, soy, wheat, gluten, or by-product meal.  There aren’t any artificial colors or flavors and vitamins and supplements are included in the formulas, including Glucosamine and Chondroitin.

The food arrived in a bag inside this box.  Now I have to tell you this packaging has to be extremely well sealed because Gracie, nor any of our cats attempted to get into the packaging.  What that in turn means to me –  is that you’re getting a very fresh product.

black light


black light

Most all of us love blacklights.  We love how they turn whites to purple – t-shirts, pants, etc.   Well, this UV Sight Blacklight Flashlight works the same way.

Many commercials advertising steam cleaners use a blacklight showing consumers where in the bathroom the evidence of bodily fluid has been left behind; and this blacklight flashlight by UV Sight works the same way.  The difference between the ones you see in commercials and this one – is this one is easier to maneuver.  It’s super simple to hold onto and can be placed in a pocket to carry from one room to another so that you can clean what you find before moving on.

I’m not going to show you how you’d find leftover accidental bathroom mistakes – we all know how that works, but I will show you how well this blacklight flashlight detected a pet accident.  Please note that this blacklight is designed to pick up ‘mistakes’ on carpet as well as other materials, but was sent to me specifically to put to the test on carpet.

That being said, I am more than please to say that we have some good pets (13 cats and a dog), as there weren’t any mistakes on our carpet!  All is not lost though – I can show you how it works on linoleum!

Meet Mr. Snapples!  Snapples is just an ordinary house cat. He’s a BIG boy – not fat by any means – just REAL big.  He weighs 20lbs and stands approx. 17″ tall and from his neck to his tail – he’s as long as he is tall.  In fact, because he’s not your average size house cat in stature, many kids and adults are afraid of him.

 

Mr. Snapples

Well, Mr. Snapples refuses to use anything but the litter box – meaning he won’t go outside to do his thing during the good months.  And it has to be one that doesn’t have a cover.  The hurling thing about this is that Mr. Snapples sits on the edge of the litter box and doesn’t squat like a cat normally would; rather, he puts his front paws in the litter and his hind paws go on the back edge of the litter box and makes a half squat – if that.  That in turn means – it gets on the back of whatever is behind the litter box and under the litter box, not to mention the side of the inside.

To rectify having to clean up after Mr. Snapples after his odd way of using the litter box, we  keep the litter box surrounded by a box.  If we happen to run out of boxes, then there is more cleaning for us to do.  That actually happened shortly after we got the blacklight flashlight.  We ran out of boxes because I hadn’t gone to the grocery store in quite some time.

Of course – Mr. Snapples still needed to use the box and that he did…he got the door, and the floor, and it ran into the closet all because we had put the litter box so close to the door.  It was our bad – we just weren’t thinking how it wasn’t contained in a box.   Needless to say, we had cleaning to do

Take a look what was found using the blacklight flashlight:

blacklight flashlight

What you see, for what appears to be dirt above, is the cat litter the cats have kicked out of the box (another reason for the litter box inside a box).  The Purple/fushia color is the closet door.  It’s white so naturally being a blacklight flashlight, the door appears as it would if it were a white t-shirt.  The brownish yellow – that’s where Snapples missed the box.

blacklight flashlight

Now even though this is the litter box room  (a room that we don’t use often), I am very anal about not letting it smell like a litter box.  Off cleaning we went.  And here’s what the floor looked like using the blacklight after we cleaned the mess:

blacklight flashlight review

Our job was done.  The floor was clean.  The litter box was clean.  More boxes were had real soon.

UV Sight’s Ultraviolet Blacklight Flashlight Specs:

  • Has 12 bright LED  Black Lightbulbs
  • SIMPLE & EASY TO USE – Perfect for Revealing Dry Dog, Cat and Rodent Stains and Favourite Spots That YouOtherwise Couldn’t See With the Naked Eye
  • SUPER BRIGHT, CORDLESS & LIGHTWEIGHT UV FLASHLIGHT – Your Carpet Will Light Up Like A Neon Sign. You Won’t Need to Crawl Around Sniffing the Floor Any Longer
  • SAVE TIME & MONEY – There’s No Need to Steam Clean the Entire Carpet, UV Sight Will Pinpoint the Areas With Ease

I’m very pleased with this light.  With having so many uses – you can’t go wrong with this blacklight flashlight.

UV Sight Ultraviolet Blacklight can be purchased at Amazon.com

If you’re in need of a non-toxic, eco-friendly carpet cleaner – I highly recommend you read my review on Genesis 950 Concentrate.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Welcome to the

Hydrate Your Pet Sweepstakes

Organized by Budget Earth

Sponsored by Petsafe

Do you have a pet who isn’t the best when it comes to staying hydrated throughout the day? Like humans, it is very important that pets stay hydrated throughout the summer, especially if spend quite a bit of time playing outdoor with their family. This can sometimes be challenging for some families who have picky dogs and cats who don’t want to drink their water unless it’s ‘just right’ in their eyes. In most cases, however, dogs and cats alike love drinking from running water sources, like the hose or even a bathroom faucet. Wouldn’t it be great if there was something indoors like that both dogs and cats would love? Luckily, we know a perfect solution – the Drinkwell Pagoda Pet Fountain from Petsafe!

What makes this fountain so great for pet owners? Unlike your pet’s traditional water dish, this Drinkwell fountain not only circulates water, but filters it as well, guaranteeing that your pet always has access to clean water. With an upper and lower drinking area, dogs and cats alike have their choice of drinking areas, making it comfortable for pets of all sizes. Best of all, this fountain is very quiet, allowing you to enjoy the relaxing sound of running water throughout the day. Want to learn more about this fountain? Make sure to check out Budget Earth’s Drinkwell Pagoda Pet Fountain Review here!

To LOVE THE WAY YOU LiSTEN

August Audio Fest at Best Buy

Experience JBL!  You’re going to love the brand once you do!

A couple of really cool audio products that you may just fall in love with, as did my daughter and myself, are the JBL Reflect Sport Headphones and the JBL Clip Portable Bluetooth Speaker.  Take a look at these awesome audio devices:

JBL headphone black

The JBL Sport Headphones will drive you closer to your goals. They are the ultimate workout partner.  The Synchros Reflect in-ear sport headphones combines cutting-edge style with innovative features.Providing legendary sound in a workout-ready headphones design, it puts you well on your way to achieving your athletic goals. Designed to stay secure in your ears, these ergonomic, stay-put ear-buds are engineered to withstand the rigors of your most energetic workout, delivering on the soundtrack to push you to drive harder.

JBL-Clip-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker

JBL-Clip-Portable-Bluetooth-Speaker

With Bluetooth technology, this JBL Clip speaker enables wireless music streaming and phone calls when paired with a compatible device. The built-in carabiner creates a ready-to-wear design, making it easy to take the speaker on the go.

As the name implies, the Clip is meant to be mated to your backpack, bike, pants – pretty much any clip-able locale – with an integrated carabiner, so it can throw down a soundtrack for your travels. And with summer on the way, hopefully you’ll be going a few places where having a bit ofmusic (or, you know, audio books, if that’s your thing) might make a pleasant addition to your journey.

You ask, “What did you think of these products?”

Let’s just start by saying that the JBL clip on Bluetooth Speaker rocks!  It has a decent battery life – a 5-hour rechargeable battery.  You can answer calls with the built in microphone.  Listening to music is fantastic.  There is a LOT of boom to this little device.

There’s so much boom that I’ve had to ask my daughter to turn the volume down when she used it while doing the dishes.  I’ve had the pleasure of using it all of one time.  After that, it disappeared from my radar and comes out when my daughter does chores or goes outside…she’s claimed it as being “hers.”  She’s just going to have to get over herself and share it, because I know I would like it while basking in the sun.

As for the Synchros Reflect Sport Headphones we really like those too.  The sound is great.  They fit in the ears really well.  In fact there are 3 sets of ergonomic earpieces that come with the headphones.  This allows you to get a great fit.

To test them out for sweating purposes – they are suppose to be sweat-proof  – my daughter mowed the lawn with them in her ears on a hot humid day.  I asked her if they provided the sweat-proof experience they are suppose to live up to.  She told me that they did!  I have to say that I was impressed.  I wasn’t convinced that they would stay in if one was sweating like a pig – the weather really was that miserable that day.

A really cool feature of these headphones is that they  have magnetic cable management.  This  is great for when you only want to use one earbud.  All one has to do is take the one that’s not in use and attach it to the other – they magnetically connect.  Plus, there’s a clip to help with cord management and a built in microphone, which makes it easy to accept calls.  These headphones are truly a great buy with all the features and the ways that they can be used.

Don’t miss the fantastic deals happening at Best Buy’s August Audio Fest – head on over to see what Audio Fest brings your way.
