Minties Freshen even the yuckiest Doggie Breath ~ Read the Review & Grab some discounts here!

About Minties Treats:









Minties are made in the USA and free of many ingredients that may be
of concern to you and your dog:  wheat, gluten, soy, corn, artificial
flavors and animal by-products. Minties have unique hardness, shape and
texture to keep your dog’s teeth clean and healthy as he chews while
helping reduce plaque and tartar.



Each
Minties Dental Treat contains five natural ingredients that work in
your dog’s mouth and stomach to promote fresh breath and reduce
unpleasant odors:


  • Mint promotes minty fresh breath.

  • Parsley contains enzymes that help break down odor-causing particles in the stomach.

  • Dill helps inhibit bacterial growth and helps prevent early stages of gingivitis.

  • Fennel helps control bacteria and is a natural breath freshener.

  • Chlorophyll from alfalfa balances acid levels in the stomach and helps deodorize your dog’s body.






Review:

For this review I was sent a package of Minties Treats and a package of Minties Fresh for my German Shorthair Pointer - Daisy, to try.  She loves the Minties Treats and her mouth/teeth seem to be a bit cleaner than they were previously since she has started eating them!  She loves them just as much as any other treat she has had, and gobbles it up quickly! 





The Minties Fresh she did not like at first.  She actually gave me a look - you know the one - head slightly cocked to the side - sad, questioning eyes - seeming to think "what am I supposed to do with that"

After the first one or two of them, she likes them better now, but they are still not her favorites.  I still give them to her because they seem to help her breath stay less offensive for a longer period of time (longest I checked was an hour!)



A couple of things I really LOVE about giving my furry family member Minties Treats from Vet IQ. First



they are Made in the USA!  Can't beat something healthy for your furry loved one, made right here at home!  Second, there are no
artificial flavors or animal by-products in these treats. Minties bones
are also wheat free, gluten free, soy free, and corn free!



Dogs often eat or chew on the strangest things!  My dog, Daisy seems to constantly be finding strange things in the yard or on walks to chew - but when she receives regular treats, she seems to look for things to put in her mouth much less often.



With the Minties Treats, a dog who does not cooperate to have her teeth cleaned, can have a treat that  scrubs her teeth clean of debris, food,
and whatever else she managed to put in her mouth.  With the Minties Fresh treats, her breath is much less offensive for a while after she has a few of those!



Now, a little more about Vet IQ - they not only have great Dental Treats for Dogs, but other great pet products for pet families.  They offer Vet Guard for Dogs and Cats, Prescription Medications and Health & Wellness items like the Minties as well as treats that you can put pills in to help your pet get them down.  You can visit Vet IQ online here ~  www.vetiq.com/



Minties are available in the US and Canada at Walmart!  I love that I can purchase more Minties at the same store I purchase Daisy's Dog Food and supplies!



Vet IQ also have printable coupons and discounts that you can find HERE!

Having a Fun Vacation does not mean you break the bank ~ Here are some ways to save money and still have a great family vacation

Disclosure:  This post is brought to you by Julie Brooks



How to Save Money in Your Family Holiday Break



If you are worried about how you can possibly afford to get away
on a family holiday this year don’t despair, there are plenty of
things you can do to reduce the costs of this break. Spending less
money doesn’t have to mean sacrificing fun and comfort, it often
just requires making better informed choices. So let’s look at
some of the cost-saving tips that is going to allow your family to
have a much deserved holiday break this year.



How to choose the right tour operator



A package holiday is usually the best way to go if you are trying
to save money. Low-cost family holidays can be achieved if you’ll
compare major tour
operators to find the best packages that perfectly
complement your budget. There are some amazing deals to be found –
especially if you are willing to be flexible about

destination and
travel dates. If you haven’t taken the time to compare what the
major tour operators are offering, you are probably not getting
the lowest-cost option.



Research your destination for special deals on tourist
attractions, entertainment, and travel.



A common reason for why holidaymakers end up missing out on
possible savings is they are just not aware of them. Most people
only come across discounts by accident by picking up a tourist
magazine or because of they have been handed a flyer.



If you actively seek out special deals before you arrive, you are
going to be in a much better position to make significant savings.
You can do most of your research online – don’t forget to check
out any websites associated with tourist attractions as these will
often contain information about promotions.



Cook your own meals



Eating out on holiday is fun, but you don’t have to do this all
the time. You can save money by buying some groceries and
occasionally cooking your own meals. It can also be a good idea to
prepare snacks for when you are going to the beach or on a tour.
Sometimes paying a little extra for accommodation
with cooking facilities can end up cutting your food
expenditure significantly. You could even attend a cooking class,
and then surprise your family with a local dish that you prepared.



The key to a cheaper holiday is to do your homework and take
advantage of any special deals. Don’t forget there are also likely
to be plenty of free stuff to do at your destination. One of the
other nice things about doing a bit of research beforehand, is you
can find exciting opportunities that you might otherwise have
missed.
