These nutrient-dense protein nuggets are packed with quality animal protein, without fillers or grains, along with wholesome superfoods. Each tender bite delivers an incredibly healthy and exceptionally tasty way to treat your dog. Grain-free, gluten-free, tender, bite-size bars
Perfect pairings of hearty proteins and delicious superfoods
No meat by-products, wheat, corn, soy or artificial flavors, colors or preservatives

What can Gambler do besides balance a box on his head? He can balance a Wellness CORE Grain-Free Protein Bars Turkey & Duck With Kale without eating it first. The taste test.

When he did get to taste test it you didn’t have to tell him twice, he snatched it up quickly, being a hunter of turkey and duck he could smell the goodness right away. He did have to chew it a bit as it was a thick jerky like treat before he gobbled it right down. The bars were scored so you could give just one part of the bar or the whole bar.

FullSizeRender PicMonkey Collage2 Gambler works his core when he is out training for his hunt test competitions. After training Gambler winds down with a Wellness Core Protein Bar. Core Protein bars are on sale right now at Chewy.com a 5.5-oz bag is $6.81.

The gang gives the SmartChips a A+ and 16 paws up.

Gambler loved them so much he had to help himself to more.

Chef Gambler’s King Cake~Tasty Tuesday

Posted on February 17, 2015 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

Happy Fat Tuesday! Today Chef Gambler will be making King Cake. He would like to thank his buddy Miss Harper Lee for making this yummy cake in January and was happy she shared her recipe with us all. You can view Miss Lee’s fun post and recipe here.

Check it out it’s Miss Lee.

The ingredients.

Ingredients: (I modified Miss Lee’s a little bit)

2/3 cup bananas, mashed

1/2 butter, softened

3/4 cup water

3 large eggs

2 cups whole wheat flour (I used regular flour)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon dried ginger

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Frosting: instead of using Miss Lee’s yogurt and honey frosting, we made really runny powered sugar and water frosting and we couldn’t make the cool purple color instead did dark green, green and yellow.

Glory thinking she needs to help out since Chef Gambler gets to make the cake.

MK not missing out on the fun.

Before we start I best taste the butter and make sure it is ok.

Chef Gambler here, checking to make sure the ingredients are correct.

Lets get down to business.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside. Beat together the bananas and butter in a medium bowl until creamy. Beat in water and then eggs one at a time. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine. Pour the batter into a prepared Bundt pan and bake for 35 minutes. (per Miss Lee)

Beater licking time.

Miss Lee says we should hide a treat instead of a plastic baby in the cake.

Nellie stepping in to make sure I’m doing it right.

Yup I agree Nellie, it is done right.

This cooking is hard work, I best sit a spell.

Ta Da, time to frost.

I think you missed a spot with frosting.

It’s ready for the taste test.

Are we ever going to get out of these giddy ups and eat the cake?

Nom, nom, nom.

More nom, nom, nom.

Cousin Oakley trying it out.

Cousin Chloe eating her share.

Thank you Miss Lee for your recipe again. We had fun making this cake and so far it is 3/4 the way gone and no one has gotten the “treat” yet. What would make this even better is if we were down visiting you during Fat Tuesday and all the festivities.

Tasty Tuesday~Brothers Complete-USA Dehydrated Sweet Potato

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

I was contacted by Brothers Complete and asked if they could send me a care package to try out a few of there products and write a review on them.

I jumped at the chance as I had never heard of them and I liked what I saw in there advertisement explaining the company. Clients that come into the clinic are often talking about using grain free food and treats as they feel their pets do better on them. Some clients animals have allergies so they feel to help out the allergies would be to feed a grain free product so I thought it would be nice to try out this company’s treats and have another source to refer clients to as well as myself.

The end of May I reviewed some of their Brothers biscuits treats you can read about them here. Today I am going to review their USA Dehydrated Sweet Potato.

This is what Brothers Complete says about their USA Dehydrated Sweet Potato:

These 100% natural, dried sweet potatoes are a healthy treat your dog will love. A delicious alternative to rawhide chews, they are fat free and rich in beta carotene, antioxidants, potassium, vitamins A, B6 and C. There is no added coloring so they won’t stain your carpets.

Ingredients: Sweet Potato

Feeding Guidelines: Brothers Complete dehydrated sweet potato can be used as a once a day dog chew. Please monitor your dog during feeding.

Time for the taste test:

Glory being the first one to try.

Next big piece for Gambler.

Nice big piece for Nellie.

Glory thought they were super great.

Nellie taking her time to enjoy the goodness.

Gambler savoring his treat.

There were really great treats, I want more!

These USA Dehydrated Sweet Potato treats were the bomb with my gang. After I let them smell the open package they jumped up and down and begged to get some. Each one crunched on them and enjoyed it so much they came running back for more. There were some big pieces and some small pieces so would be good for a house hold with big and small dogs all to enjoy a treat out of the same bag.

A bag of 6 oz treats sells for $9.99 on the Brothers Complete website. Great price for some tasty treats. I would defiantly get these treats in the future.

All Products purchased at http://www.BrothersComplete.com have a 45 day

100% customer satisfaction guarantee with a hassle free return policy.

Free UPS Ground shipping on orders of $40.00 or more to the 48 contiguous United States.
Orders under $40.00 going to one of the 48 contiguous United States will ship UPS Ground, but will incur a $5.95 shipping and handling fee.
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is available please put in your zip code on “View Cart” page to get shipping quote.

They have a reward points and refer a friend program to collect points to use for future purchases. They also offer a Troop ID Discount which I thought was very nice: We offer a 5% site wide discount to active duty, veterans, retirees (someone who retired after 20+ years), military spouse and direct dependents.

Brothers Complete is a family owned and operated business with your pet’s needs in mind. I would defiantly buy these treats in the future.

I was compensated one bag of treats for a honest review.

Tasty Tuesday~HALO Liv-a-Littles From Chewy.com

Posted on May 27, 2014 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

Ding dong Chewy.com calling. We got our monthly sample from Chewy.com.

The dogs & MK were happy this review was for both of them.

Gambler stealing the treats again, he knows they are going to be yummy.

This month they got a sample of:

Halo Liv-a-Littles Grain-Free 100% Chicken Breast Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Treats.

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q223/yojojo11/DSC_0565_zps934da0c1.jpg

And YUMMY they were. All Three dogs loved them!

They had some really nice big pieces in the jar.

When I couldn’t find MK I would shake the treat jar and she would come running.

MK thought the were great too. She had to be really fast or the dogs would gobble hers up.

When I couldn’t find MK I would shake the treat jar and she would come running.

Here I come, did I hear the Halo jar shake?

Yummy!

These treats are so good MK sat in the Chewy box waiting for more.

Thank you very much Chewy and Halo for a wonderful treat.

Here’s what Chewy has to say about the Halo treats:

Halo Liv-a-Littles Grain-Free 100% Chicken Breast Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Treats

100% pure chicken breast, plain and simple (and that’s a good thing!) Halo Liv-a-Littles Grain-Free 100% Chicken Breast Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Treats are so simple, tasty, and healthy, every pet loves ’em. They’re freeze-dried to lock in the flavor and nutritional benefits of protein-rich chicken breast, and suitable for every stage of your pets’ lives. Cats and dogs agree: one more treat, please!

Key Benefits

Suitable for cats and dogs
All-natural chicken treat
100% Grain-free
Serve on its own or crumble over food at mealtime

More treats please.

I liked these treats because they are for dogs and cats that way you don’t have to buy two different treats. They are freeze dried so they last a long time (not at my house) and I like that they are in big chunks that you can easily break into little pieces for training treats or to put on top of food to entice your pet to eat. They also come in Wild Salmon and Beef. A 2.2 oz jar is on sale now at Chewy.com for $7.29.

My gang gives these treats 4 paws up!

Tasty Tuesday~Brothers Complete Biscuit Review

Posted on May 20, 2014 by Sand Spring Chesapeakes

I was contacted by Brothers Complete and asked if they could send me a care package to try out a few of there products and write a review on them.

My care package contained many different treats. Today I will review 3 of them which are:

This is what Brothers Complete says about all three treats:

Brothers Complete TURKEY BISCUIT TREATS are part of a growing line of treats that Brothers has formulated to help define and fulfill the increasing need and demand for nutritional excellence in dog food.

The Brothers Complete line of treats contain no grain, no white potato, no sweet potato, and no sugar in any form.

Brothers adds unique and substantial nutritional value to our treats by including our special blend of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients that have been carefully balanced in specific proportion to each other. This produces a treat that is nutritionally complete and balanced and sets a new standard of excellence in treats.

Being nutritionally complete and balanced means that Brothers treats will not create a nutrient imbalance in your dog, but will instead encourage and contribute to your dog’s optimal health and well being.

Brothers Complete Treats are formulated to compliment and work effectively in conjunction with all the Brothers Complete Advanced Allergy Formulas.

First the Sand Spring Gang tried the Venison Meal Biscuit Treats. I chose this to be the first one as we are avid hunters and we hunt venison and love the taste of it. Nellie has proven to love venison also as in the winter she will run off and munch on any deer she can find so maybe with these treats I can keep her from running off.

Gambler thinks these are the bomb! He wants them all for himself!

Next up for the taste test was the Turkey Meal Biscuit Treats:

Gambler loved the Turkey treats he learned a new trick with them. Hold the treat on your nose.

Finally they got to try the Buffalo Meal Biscuit Treats:

The bags come in 1# package for $11.99 or a 5# package (5, 1# packages) for $54.99. The treats are about a 1.5 inches long in the shape of a bone, they break easily so breaking these treats in thirds is no problem to give each one of my dogs a small treat. All three dogs loved all three flavors and give this company 4 paws up.

All Products purchased at www.BrothersComplete.com have a 45 day

100% customer satisfaction guarantee with a hassle free return policy.

Free UPS Ground shipping on orders of $40.00 or more to the 48 contiguous United States.
Orders under $40.00 going to one of the 48 contiguous United States will ship UPS Ground, but will incur a $5.95 shipping and handling fee.
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii is available please put in your zip code on “View Cart” page to get shipping quote.

Brothers Complete is a family owned and operated business with your pet’s needs in mind. I would defiantly buy these treats in the future.

I was compensated one bag of each flavor of treats for a honest review.
