My Review:

Although my dog Daisy is not an older dog, she does occasionally have aches and pains from hunting birds in the Fall and Spring.  I thought I'd have her try out the Achy Paws™ Pet Mat to see how she reacted to it.  She normally loves to have a blanket on her when she is resting or sleeping, so I figured it would be similar.

At first she refused to lay on it, except when I gave her a treat.  But I finally was able to get a photo of her laying on it.  She does occasionally lay on it but only if it is on top of one of her beds.  I don't know whether she likes it or not, but she doesn't seem to mind it anymore.



I lay on it myself to see if I could notice a difference - and did find that it seems to make my skin warmer wherever it is in contact.



I do think this would be a great warming Mat for older animals that suffer from arthritis or joint pain.  It would ease their pain and help them rest.  For now, we just use it as needed for when Daisy is sore from hunting.  Or for times like in this photo where she just wants some snuggle time with her blankie - LOL

Daisy is a 7 year old German Shorthair Pointer - Chocolate with Chocolate Speckled Coloring.  She is high energy, loves to run and point and chase rabbits, squirrels and birds in the backyard or Dog Park.  Her favorite activities are running and playing chase and fetch with the kids, taking walks with "Dad", and going Hunting with "Dad" and "brother" for pheasants!



Enter below for a chance to WIN one of these great Achy Paws Pet Mats for your furry loved one.  Open to US only - Must be 18 or older to enter/win - blah blah blah - Winner has 24 hours to reply to claim prize - blah blah blah - Good Luck!

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!
