I was invited to try some new healthy dog treats for my fur baby, Daisy. I agreed to get the chicken jerky for dogs after I found out they are made in USA dog treats. You can check out my shopping experience on my GOOGLE+ album! (Bonus: You’ll also see a product that I was VERY EXCITED to find back in stores! Something back from the dead!)
My dog always wants to be where I am. When I get up from my desk and walk in to the kitchen, she gets out from under my chair and trots right beside me. When I go downstairs to switch the laundry over, she patiently waits by the bins until I fill them up, and we head back upstairs together.
It is sweet and sentimental, but can be a problem at times too.
What I mean by this, is that when I have to leave the house for an extended period of time, I have to leave her home. She loves riding in the car with me, being my furry co-captain. But in the Summer, when it can get upwards of 100° in Colorado, she can’t come with me.
A hot car is not a good place for a dog!
So when I grab my car keys and she thinks she is in for a fun road trip, I have to disappoint her by telling her to stay put. I quickly see her eyes get sad. She just wants to tag along!
I mean, she does the rest of the year… you should see the amount of dog hair that is covering my backseat. But in the summer, it’s not a good plan.
So instead of leaving her broken hearted and alone while I am gone, I fill up her dog toys with treats. That way she makes a little game of it, digging out the tasty treats until I get home again.
I found Nudges to be a great treat for when I am gone. They tear easily and slip right into the dog toy. She rolls the toy around and fishes out the small torn up pieces until she’s discovered them all. Of course, she loves the whole pieces of chicken jerky for dogs too.
Then when I get home from my day, I make sure to spend a lot of quality time with her right away. We often play in the backyard, throw the Frisbee and visit the dog park.
She is trained pretty well, and we are always working on that too. I can tell she always enjoys testing out her tricks, because she really, really enjoys the reward!
As far as the reward of the Nudges, she loved them! She would do anything for them! She’s always been a chicken jerky fan, but sadly it’s hard to find healthy dog treats that are made in the USA!
I thought I found one in the past, bought it, brought it home and then realized it was not made in the USA, but only designed in the USA! I was tricked. Then, the treats got recalled!
Clearly, I was upset.
But now with Nudges as an option, I no longer have to worry about this! I know these are dog treats made in the USA. They are high quality, safe, have no fillers, have no artificial flavors, they are all-around a great healthy dog treat.
And of course… my dog likes them! She was happy, I was happy.
When I am about to leave my dog at home, and she gives me those “take me with eyes”, she gets the best dog treats: Nudges. It is a little “Nudge of Love” I am able to leave her for when I am gone.
If I was going to share my #nudgesmoment in a nutshell, I would say that my #nudgesmoment is making sure my pet feels loved even when I am not around. I always try to give her a treat before I leave, so she is happy when I am gone.
