Be Mine...Feline Every Day is Valentine's Day --- And Tiger Update!!

According to a recent survey, twenty percent of Americans are spending millions on Valentine Day gifts for their pets!  After all, Valentine's Day is a holiday to share your love and affection with those that you love.  Last year American shoppers spent about $18.2 billion on Valentine's Day gifts.  And, about 20% of US consumers are going to give their pet or pets a Valentine's Day gift -- or gifts this year.  And, yes, did I get some great inspirational ideas from chewy.com for Valentine's Day and every day and one great item I had to try is Wishes Filets by Honest Kitchen.

Even though I consider every day Valentine's Day because it is always important to show appreciation to our four-footed (and two-footed friends) -- each and every day...  I am really excited to share a very special treat from chewy -- they really find such great things at such great discounts.  So, this Valentine's Day, I wanted to show the gang of five just how "pawsome" they are and  Wishes Filets is a "Fishtastic Treat"!  Once opening the package, my gang of five wanted to dive right into it -pity I could not get a photo of that chaos!

Human Grade

What impressed me most is that Wishes Filets by The Honest Kitchen is 100% human grade which means that the entire supply chain and production process has been reviewed by the FDA on two separate occasions, earning the Honest Kitchen and Wishes Filets human grade status.  The long and short of it is that wishes filets are fit for human consumption and my Tonkinese thinks it is scrumptious!   I also like the fact that Honest Kitchen is a family-owned company out of California that makes food for dogs and cats from minimally processed human grade ingredients that provide pet parents with a more natural option.

The Snap Perfect for Multi-Pet Households!

I love the snap and crackle of Wish Filets that are light, crispy and easy to break apart so you can use tiny morsels of this deliciousness for a cat's smaller mouth...dogs love these treats as well and gobble them up too.

Wishes Filets are made of dehydrated white fish that is rich in protein and Omega-3s that is so important to improve the overall health of your cat or dog.  Interestingly this dehydrated treat also includes skins.   This treat is made from a variety of sustainable wild caught white fish so the company, Honest Kitchen can help maintain a healthy ecosystem in our oceans.  I really like this philosophy, so it is a win-win in my mind when purchasing this treat and watching the Tonks dive into them!

• Omega -3 fatty acids acts as an anti-inflammatory and will help with arthritis.
• Omega-3 will help to ease inflammation due to allergies and reduce itchy skin and dandruff.
• Like other fat supplements, it promotes a shiny healthy coat and reduces shedding. For cats, this also may mean fewer hairballs.
• Omega-3 is important in brain and eye development in puppies and kittens. Feeding a nursing mother can also benefit babies once they are born.

STAR Quality

Looking at www.chewy.com  reviews this high protein snack got  89% of those that bought this product recommending it!  The only complaint was that this treat has a strong fish smell... I can assure you... that smell didn't bother my Tonkinese... they loved it!  And, truth be told, the smell of these treats is no stronger than any of the other dehydrated treats that we have reviewed.

Connecticut Beardsley Zoo Tiger Update

The two rare Amur or Siberian tiger cubs were born in November at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport have received worldwide attention. Unfortunately, the Tiger cubs, Reka and Zaya are too young to be viewed by the public, however, a Connecticut Company, Blue Buffalo has sponsored a live streaming webcam in their nursery and chewy.com sent these two stripped sweethearts Valentine's Day treat!  

The webcam offers animal lovers a close-up view of these two stripped sweethearts at play from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Watching the live feed also gives the public a chance to see how hard the zoo staff is working to care for these little ladies that are genetically so important to sustaining their breed. The Beardsley Zoo is an accredited zoo that does much more than just display animals. Accredited Zoos play an important role in conservation, saving animals and breeding them that are on the verge of extinction in the wild, like Amur Tigers. In late spring, the Beardsley Zoo will move the tiger cubs to a new tiger exhibit where the public can actually watch them frolic... but for now get ready to ohhhhhh and awwwww when watching the webcam!
