Orijen Alberta Bison Treats from Chewy.com Review

Happy Caturday everyone! Meadow and her Kitties recently became Chewy.com Influencers,
and we received our first item to review - Orijen Alberta Bison Treats, 2 oz. (approx. $9.49). 

Disclaimer ~ we received this item for free as part of the Chewy.com Influencer program in exchange for our honest opinion. 

We have had Orijen treats in the past ~ we love the fact that they are 100% protein and sourced from meat raised in Canada and the USA. Their line of 100% protein treats are great for both dogs and cats! Our diabetic cat Eddie can even have these 100% protein treats!

Orijen is a Canadian company that makes biologically appropriate food and treats for dogs and cats. All of Orijen's products are made from locally sourced ingredients, including free range poultry, whole nest-laid eggs, whole wild-caught fish, and ranch-raised meats.

These Alberta Bison treats are 100% protein - made only from freeze-dried bison, bison liver, and bison tripe. The bison meat is sourced from bison that are raised free-range on Alberta's Rolling Foothill Farms.  The treats themselves are a good size for training treats. They are not super dense or hard, but they are firm enough that they don't crumble or turn to dust in a training treat bag. They are crunchy but soft enough for Eddie, our diabetic cat, who has had several teeth removed, to eat, and enjoy! There's about 45 treats in the bag, and each treat is 7 calories. For dogs or cats with sensitivities to grains, poultry, fish or other ingredients, these are a great choice! Bison is also a "novel protein" for most pets, meaning that they probably have not eaten that protein in the past which can be an option for dogs or cats with digestive problems.

Eddie trying Orijen Alberta Bison Treats

Orijen is a brand I trust! While there's lots of options for healthy treats out there for dogs, one of the reasons I love Orijen is their variety of 100% protein treats that are healthy, and sourced in North America - that our cats can enjoy, too! Both Meadow and Eddie sampled these treats, and both of them enjoyed them! Orijen Alberta Bison Treats can be purchased at Chewy.com. The only downside to Orijen is that they are a little spendy as far as pet treats go. But, I'm happy to splurge on an item like this, knowing that I'm getting a very healthy, high quality product that my pets will love.

Many Pastures Chicken Liver Pet Treats Review

Happy Mother's Day! Today, Meadow and Her Kitties are going to share a review of a new brand of treats we found at Chuck & Don's - Many Pastures Pet Treats, 3 oz. ($8.79).

These are 100% Freeze-dried Chicken Liver Treats that are suitable for both dogs and cats. What is really cool about this company is that their products are sourced from local livestock. On their website, they note what farm the livestock came from to produce the product. The Chicken Liver Treats are noted as having been sourced from chickens at the Heartland Hutterite Colony in Pipestone, Minnesota - which is actually near my hometown. What a cool bonus to be able to find a quality pet treat - and support a local small business!

For Meadow and Her Kitties, these treats are especially cool because they are suitable for both dogs and cats. In fact, I think these might primarily end up being a cat treat. We are super picky about cat treats, because one of Meadow's kitties - Eddie - is insulin-dependent diabetic. That really narrows the range of treats that are acceptable for him to eat. Most big-name treats available specifically for cats are completely loaded with sugar or carbs. These 100% single-source protein treats are perfect for him.

And, now on to the sampling pictures. First up, Meadow's Kitties volunteered to sample them. Blueberry, Eddie, and Slimey showed up to taste test as soon they heard me open the bag. They were a resounding hit! Note that the chunks in the package are fairly large, but they are not super-dense, so you can easily break them up. For the kitties or smaller dogs, I'd recommend breaking them up into smaller pieces. For bigger dogs like Meadow, they're the perfect size for a treat.

Blueberry couldn't wait for me to distribute them. He tried to take them out of my hand while I was taking pictures.

Meadow also got to sample one. She definitely gave these healthful treats her paw print of approval.

These Many Pastures Pet Treats are definitely on our "do again" list. The price is comparable to other more widely available 100% protein treats with the added bonus that the meats are sourced locally.
