My GSD has many food allergies, so finding treats she can have is a challenge. She loves these Whole Life Beef treats and since they are one ingredient (that she can have), it is simple and easy. These are great for stuffing in her Kong toys, crumbled over her food for variety and added protein and make excellent, not messy training treats! They come in a wide variety of flavors, so my dog has more than one choice. They are a bit expensive (price could be lower), but are very light in weight, so they last pretty long. We will buy these again.

Synergy Xtreme Catnip Leaf
A quality product. It's like I grow when I have the time. Nice clean, potent leaves and flowers. NO STEMS or other junk.
Even if you have a kitty that's not partial to catnip, he or she might change their mind when given a whiff of this stuff.
Hint..fridge storage best. Good for catnip and cats usually can't open one. And they WILL try to get at it. Trust me on that one.
P.S. I have a kitty sanctuary and at this writing, I'm talking about 19 kitties. Only two don't respond to it, but they don't like any brand of catnip.

Weruva Asian Fusion with Tuna, Rice & Shirasu Canned Cat Food
We tried this cat food on a recommendation from our vet. Our cats are picky eaters and only liked the cheap foods. They especially did not like any "healthy" canned cat foods, until now. They love this stuff! Their bowls are spotless after they eat and cats are not normally known for being plate cleaners like dogs.

My 18 month old Greater Swiss Mountain dog has had issues with loose stools since I got him at 9 weeks old. After many expensive vet visits, the vet had no answers other than a possible food allergy. He was having cow-pie like stools several times a day and bad gas. He also licked his feet and chewed himself and scratched a lot also indicative of a possible food allergy. The vet said to try hypo-allergenic food.
I tried about every premium dog food known to man, including the weird ones like salmon and potato and venison and rice. No improvement. After reading the reviews on here, I decided to try the Prozyme. What the heck? I'd already spent thousands on vet visits and dog foods! What's 30 more bucks?
His stools firmed up within the first week of using it! It has also helped with his gas issues (he used to stink us out of the house) and he is not licking his feet anymore and the scratching has been reduced quite a bit. The feet licking/scratching issue took about a month to clear up, but his poop became normal within a week. He is about 120 lbs and I give him 2 teaspoons twice daily. The big bottle (454 grams) lasts me about 2 months.
I love this product and will continue to keep him on it. Thanks Prozyme!!
Friskies Classic Seafood Entree for Cats (24/5.5-oz cans)
Suki loved the new vitamins and minerals last night when I gave her a few nuggets at a time. This morning, however, when I put the rest in her crunchies bowl she continued to wait for her regular morning Classic Seafood Entrees breadfast.

I don't know how it is that my cats can discover that Sea Captains pate's being served when I barely have the lid off. They're right there chomping at the bit. There are never any leftovers from this flavor.
NATURAL BALANCE 236410 12-Pack Lid Rabbit and Rice Can for Dog
My dog has food allergies. The vet recommended I try a limited-ingredient diet for him. This rabbit and brown rice formula has been perfect for him and he thrives on it.

This set looks VERY good in our kitchen, and is infinitely better than the cluster of human food bowls it replaced. If you have a messy critter who scatters food served in a shallow bowl, not having to sweep daily and fight ants back is enough to make this a worthy purchase.
The price is a bit high for my frugal POV, but this is a well-made product. The base is thick, sturdy plastic with a matte finish that makes it look more refined than glossy plastic. The curve gives the design a sense of flair that goes well in our artsy home. The steel bowls are of moderate thickness, and the cutesy pattern on them is subtle, so I can handle it even though usually I don't like that stuff.
My only complaint is that it's not very tall and the bowls are VERY deep, which negates the supposed health benefits of raised food bowls. In the end, my cat is bending over just as far as she was before to reach the goods at the bottom of the bowl. If you change water daily (as you should!) then you'll see it's even a bit big for daily water needs and could have been reduced to 1 cup capacity... or maybe the legs should just be taller. Hard to say.
This would easily be a 5 star purchase with just a bit more height, but as it is, it is a fine addition to a home trying to keep clutter down.
Hi-Tek Naturals Grain Free Chicken Meal and Sweet Potato Formula
I wanted to switch to a higher quality food for my dog, a 2.5 year old german shep mix. She had stomach digestion issues as a pup, and although she is past that she still tended on having loose stool quite often. Consistency varied often, as did her regularity.
I mixed with her old food (Hills Science Diet) and she had no issues with digestion during the transition, which I did gradually over about 3 weeks until she finished her old food and was completely on the Hi Tek. I have just started on our second bag of this and she's been fine, with much more regular, and solid stool.
Pro's:
* She seems to like it!
* She appears to have better digestion and elimination
Additional comments not necessarily a con:
* Food pieces seem small for a mid-large dog. It does not seem to bother her, and perhaps that too can help her digestion. Just be cautioned that it is NOT the same size pellets or balls as the mid to large dog food that I had been used to.
* While it in no way affects the quality of the actual product, the packaging is very plain and very unremarkable so it does not catch your eye if you were buying in a store.

After having pup on Taste of the Wild and Solid Gold Barking at the Moon, did some research to find another premium grain-free food but at a lower price and found this. Excellent stuff.
My year and a half old chihuahua has been on it for a few months now and couldn't be doing any better. Both he and our two cats (who are on Purina but steal the Epigen, which they seem to prefer, out of the dog's bowl) seem to love it. And pellet size is just right for them all, very small.
Just purchased a second bag and will continue purchasing this. Very happy with the product and it's price!

Not much to say about this product but that it works great. All 3 of my bettas are healthy going on 2 1/2 years, along side feeding them omega one buffet pellets. I repurchase this same product for my conditioner. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

My dog is getting on in years, and has never been very tolerant of temperatures below 74.5 or above 75.5 (wuss), so he very much enjoys this bowl on a hot day. It visibly reduces his panting, which is nice.
EVO 95% Duck Canned Cat Food - 12x13.2 oz
I read on several websites for owners of diabetic cats, that this food was well-tolerated by diabetic felines, and could help normalize blood sugar. My 15 year old Cornish Rex has been on it for three weeks and her insulin has been reduced by almost half. The vet is extremely pleased and has OK'ed me switching from the Royal Canin diabetic chow to this great cat food.
Her energy is way up (she's a Rex, so that's really saying something), her curly-furred coat is thicker and more lustrous, and her eyes have cleared up (leaving me wondering whether she had developed a sensitivity to the grains used in the dry Royal Canin chow).
Usuri recommends this food highly! Especially at o'dark-thirty in the morning when she begins pestering me to give her some.

AvoDerm Natural Tuna & Crab Meat Entree in Gravy - 24x3 oz
I adopted two very undernurished kittens from the Humane Society, whose on-staff vet said that AvoDerm dry and canned food is the best on the market for cats. When I took the kittens for their vet checkup 6 months later, my own vet also agreed that this is the best food available and was so pleased with the health of the kittens. My older cats have also seen a huge improvement in their coats -much more silky and shiny, shedding is reduced and their weight is easily maintained on this food. I recommend trying this food if you have finicky cats or they have health problems.
My cats absolutely LOVE all the Avoderm Select Cuts (chunky-style) flavors AND all the flavors of this pate-style food. The seafood flavors seem to be the most popular among the cats, but many vets recommend avoiding too much seafood for male cats due to the urine crystals it can cause. I started feeding the beef and chicken exclusively and they eat every last drop.
Bottom line: It costs more than your average food, but it's worth every penny (buying it by the case can give you a pretty good discount from most vendors). If you consider that it keeps them healthier, which can save you from expensive vet bills in the long run, then it's worth it. Plus, think of the time you'll save not having to clean up after their shedding! Also, I've noticed that this brand does not result in the runny, smelly poo that some other, cheaper brands do. Try this food out on your cats -you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I have yet to find a superior dry cat food. I prefer to feed my cat a raw diet, but sometimes it isn't possible. An apartment doesn't have a place for an extra freezer so unfortunately a raw diet isn't feasible. This food is the closest to a raw diet you can get in a dry kibble. NO GRAIN and all meat proteins, exactly how cats want it. And like other reviewers commented, cats LOVE it. My cat always runs hopefully to his CORE storage bin when I start to open it and cries and begs until it is on his dish. My cat's coat is glossy, thick, healthy and barely sheds. His eyes are clear and bright. He has tons of energy and every year his vet is impressed with how healthy he is. No digestive problems, and no kidney problems that are so common in cats fed grain cat food.
I strongly recommend this cat food!
Tiki Cat Hanalei Luau Wild Salmon In Salmon Consomme - 8 x 6 oz
I've tried many wet foods over the last 14 years but this is the only one my cat has eaten, and she happily scarfs it down. It looks and smells just like pink salmon for people. Glad I can finally take her off of dry food.
Wellness Healthy Weight Formula Dry Cat Food 5-lb bag
I haven't tasted it, but my cat loves it. And he's got a bit of a weight problem, so the lite stuff is better for him. Stays pretty fresh if you keep the bag closed.
