So I was happy to try out Newman's Own Hip & Joint Snack Sticks from Chewy.com.
We compared labels and found that the Newman's Own beat our old brand hands down for healthy ingredients. An unexpected bonus is the cheeky review, on the back, of Paul Newman's dog's tell-all memoir.
I use a lot of Newman's Own products. Their dark chocolate is Rainforest Action Network approved, their spaghetti sauce tastes great, and all the profits go to charity. I expected Toby to love the chicken flavor - he wasn't disappointed.
The photo shoot was fun, doing a riff on the glucosamine/chondroitin for joint health. Toby's pretty active. We want it to stay that way. There's only a little of the supplements in these snacks, but they can't hurt! He's happy to impersonate Superman to get these treats as a reward.

I take a supplement fur MY joints and think it really HELPS to keep me Diggin like a Young Dachshund. SO it is good to know that there is Another Brand that would do the same good thingys. AND it can EASILY and QUICKLY received when ordered from CHEWY.COM.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to me that veterinarians recommend this supplement but human doctors are quick to say it's useless. Regardless, you're so right about Chewy.com!
DeleteWe tried a different variety of these and loved them too. You sure looked like a super dog in your pictures. BOL!
ReplyDeleteI ordered other varieties of the same brand because these were sold out at Chewy! But of course they had other flavors available to try :)
Deleteoh that sounds as if you got some magic sticks... I will note them on my wishlist asap...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'd like them :)
DeletePropylene glycol in your old kind? Isn't that poisonous? I'm so glad you tried this new kind. They sound great.
ReplyDeleteAnd those photos of Toby are truly fabulous. He looks so happy, young, fast, and HAPPY (I know that I repeated it). Those treats must be super good!
I tried to do some quick research on propylene glycol because I wanted to provide a factual link, but studies appear to have mixed results and not much seems known about safety on this substance. Still, any chemical needs to have a darn good reason to be in food and I couldn't find a single one for this chemical. As for Toby, he's 6 now but we still get asked all the time if he's a puppy!
