Dog product review!

It's that time of year again, the time where it's getting too hot to take your frenchie outside! I've bought some new treats/toys to make passing the summer afternoons a little more palatable. Here they are:

Canine hardware chuckit! plush boomerang gets 5 out of 5 stars.

First off, Coco adores it. So much so that it's been a few weeks and there is no hole in it.

It seems to be made of a nylon like material

that resists chewing and is perfect for games of tug. We FINALLY have a toy we can play tug with that I'm not worried will break off her teeth or that she can't get a grip on it. So, it's not the cutest toy in the world, but as in many cases, Coco makes a toy cute just by being herself. And, dun dun dun, I bought it at the grocery store! So it was easy to find, buy, and was around 6 bucks.

Nylabone Healthy Edibles gets 2 out of 5 stars. Ok, so what are these supposed to do? You would think it would be like a regular nylabone that would be able to dissolve easier or something like that. At first, Coco just licked it and it looked like it would do just that. Then, she began to chew. And taking off these massive chunks and chomping them up and then grabbing another massive chunk. So, it's got the durability of the biscuit. And if I want a dog biscuit, I'll buy some organic dog biscuit for a $1.50 and not have to worry about chunks of stuff getting stuck in my dogs intestine. So, it's a great product for dogs who probably don't like to chew. At all. Which defeats the purpose if you ask me.

Finally, we have Zuke's mini naturals. These are little treat bites that were recommended by Ogdog. Coco is pretty mad for them. They are convenient to just grab about 7 or 2 whatever and you can keep them in your hand as opposed to breaking up larger treats and making a mess on the floor. Every morning I play fetch with Coco, and the only way to get her to drop her ball, is by giving her a treat. These are pretty much perfect. They are pretty stinky and look a little rubbery, but I am looking forward to trying a different flavor. I have the chicken flavor right now, and I am looking forward to peanut butter. These seem to be very popular because my local dog store was pretty much out of all other flavors for months. I can't give them five stars because they are hard to find and smell pretty bad. But, I'll give them 4.75 stars. :)

Hooray June! It's Coco's birthday this month. She'll be 5 years old! It's also my birthday this month. I wonder if they make cakes that dog and owner can share?

UPDATE: June 9th

Coco must have heard me typing this and ran off to read it when I wasn't looking because she tore a hole in the boomerang later that day. :)
