Nutrish for my first children :: Maple and Lively

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nutrish. All opinions are 100% mine.
We like to tell people our first children are our dogs.
It’s true. They really are our first children. And it doesn’t matter how many kids we end up having, Lively and Maple hold special places in our family’s hearts because they were the small things we took into our homes to care for with love, food, and plenty of room in our bed when they want to snuggle.
Yes, we let our dogs into our bed. Don’t judge me.
One of those responsibilities, feeding those first children, is what allowed me to offer you this product review today.
I was Maple and Lively were sent a special sample of Rachael Ray Nutrish just 6 dry dog food to try and offer their opinion. They even sent a special bowl for them to use, which is great because their current bowl (yes, they share a bowl) needs a trip through the dishwasher (we haven’t taught the dogs to do their own dishes yet). Having a new bowl makes the pictures look prettier.
But I digress.
The dog food bag indicates there are just 6 natural ingredients, which based on recent commercials I have seen, is the new trend in dog food. Companies are removing the extra fillers and unhealthy preservatives to offer our dogs healthier options in their food bowls. It makes sense, especially as someone who treats her dogs like children (drawing the line at dressing them in outfits… most of the time). If I try to limit my kids’ sugar or preservative intake, why can’t I consider limiting what Maple and Lively eat?
While the ingredients printed on the back do list the first six ingredients as natural, I wonder about some of the other ingredients I don’t actually know how to pronounce. But, I figured the proof would be in this:
Empty bowls are always a sign that something went right.
First: do your dogs do this? Do they take food from their bowls, put it on the floor (sometimes in another room) and then eat the food? Well, my dogs do and we find it kind of annoying. But I consider it a sign they actually like it because maybe they want to savor it and not allow something else to interrupt them while their palettes ponder the tastes of lamb, rice, and poultry fat.
I offered the bowl to Maple and see cleaned it out. Lively was a bit put off that I gave it to her second (she is the alpha dog around here), but she took to the food and eventually cleaned the bowl. It looks like the Nutrish was a success!
If you are interested in your own free sample then check out the link to find out how to get your dog their own taste of Nutrish. Maple and Lively recommend it.

Diesel likes his food on the floor too. He doesn’t take it anywhere, he just prefers it on the floor than in his bowl. After I pour it in the bowl; he’ll go to eat it and look at me. So then I’ll tip the food out of his bowl and he’ll start eating it…dogs are so funny!!
