Product Review – Canidae TidNips

Posted on by

Brent from chewy.com asked me if I’d test out some new treats – Canidae TidNips. You know me, I’ll always try something new! So I said, “yes!”

Here’s some info chewy.com sent me about Canidae TidNips:

Felidae is known for their holistic, healthy and delicious cat food and treats.

Their all-natural formulas are made in the USA in a human-grade facility using only the highest quality ingredients: Chicken, Turkey, Lamb & Fish. There is no corn, wheat, soy, grain fractions, glutens or fillers in these products. Cats prefer round! Felidae has officially changed the shape of their kibble to the one cats prefer!

You’ve probably heard of Canidae’s TidNips™ treats by now. Soft and tasty, these treats are not only fun to feed; they are good for your doggie too! Canidae Natural Pet Food company was sure not to leave out cats, when making this yummy treat.

Felidae TidNips is available in a tasty Chicken & Rice formula.

We have TidNips™ (from Canidae) available in three great varieties:
• Lamb & Rice,
• Chicken & Rice
• Chicken, Turkey, Lamb & Salmon
Tasty treats! Try ‘em, we want to know what you think!

Here’s what’s in them: Chicken, Brown Rice, Ground Barley, Tapioca, Vegetable Glycerine, Chicken Meal, Natural Flavor, Molasses, Brewer’s Yeast, Fish Oil, Cranberries, Salt, Sodium Bisulfate, Sorbic Acid, Taurine, Citric Acid, Mixed Tocopherols, Rosemary. Sounds good, right? Mom was sure they’d be a hit with us. She’s tried to feed them to us several times, but Candy’s the only one that will eat them, and sometimes she won’t eat them either. So I guess something being good for you doesn’t guarantee that you’ll like it and eat it. Also, it comes in a bag that’s supposed to zip shut, but the seal came loose on one side and the bag won’t seal. So two of us give these treats paws down and one of us gives it a so-so.

Disclaimer: We received the bag of treats gratis from chewy.com. We received no other compensation, and as always, our opinion is our own.

Product Review: Kitty Hoots Big Mamas Scratchy Box Double Wide

Posted on by

Hi everyone! Did you miss me? MOL I had a pawsome vacation and did all kinds of cool stuff, but that’s gotta wait. I’m long overdue on writing this product review. *embarrassed* So I gotta take care of business.

The people at Petsupplies.com sent me a couple of things to try out. They sent a Kitty Hoots Big Mamas Scratchy Box Double Wide and a Contempo Vena Cat Food and Treat Dispenser. The scratcher is a double wide (great for lounging on) and it came with pawsome catnip and a catnip toy. The toy got played with for about 10 minutes and no one’s paid any attention to it since. The scratcher is about the same as other scratchers we’ve had and has held up ok. Candy likes the tassles in the corner. Mom was afraid they’d come apart, but so far they haven’t.The cat food and treat dispenser got batted around a bit when mom first put it out, but we couldn’t get it to flip over enough for the treats to spill out. So it kind of flopped with us. No one plays with it and mom finally emptied the treats out of it and just gave them to us.

I looked around the site a bit, and their prices compare favorably with other places. And they have $4.99 flat rate shipping on orders over $49 up to 20lb. That’s great for lightweight stuff like toys or treats. So Petsupplies.com looks like an ok place to shop. I’m gonna be keeping track of this site.

I told you I had something special cooking for our big Gotcha Day celebration coming up in the next few weeks. Well, here’s the scoop. Do you see what’s in the picture below? That is a Tillman skateboard deck! And I’m gonna be giving that skateboard deck away in about a month, so spread the word!

Good news everyone! If you haven’t yet gotten your copy of ‘Summer at the Lake with Petie‘, it’s now available as a PDF for $6.99.

That’s it for today. Have a great week everyone!

Product Review – Kitty a go-go litter box

Posted on by

Happy Sunday everyone! The nice people over at Kitty a go-go sent me a litter box to check out. So here’s how it went.

The Kitty a go-go boxes come in many stylish colors and designs. They have a rake for pulling the waste and clumped litter forward. As you can see, the drawer pulls out and has a plastic liner for easy clean-up. The box is very sturdy.

Since the tray comes out and is lined, the box can be cleaned without having to take the whole thing apart, although it does come apart so you can clean it thoroughly from time to time. But mostly you just need to clean the pull out tray. It has lots of venting so it doesn’t hold smells.

Mom was thrilled when the box arrived. We have a litter box in the downstairs guest bathroom and mom thought it would be great to have something pretty instead of a regular ugly litter tray in there. Well, things didn’t work out quite as she would have liked. We use crystal litter that comes in premeasured packages. The rake didn’t work well with the crystals. Rather than going through the crystals, it pushed the crystals into a big pile. Mom wound up having to take the rake out.

Also, the tray is much smaller than our other litterbox. I don’t know if you can see it in this picture, but Mom put the plastic liner from the Kitty a go-go in our regular litterbox, and it’s about two inches smaller in each direction. It’s also very shallow, which makes sense since the box is covered and that keeps the litter from spilling out. But it’s too small to hold all the litter in the pre-measured package. And since we use the downstairs litterbox so much more than the upstairs one, being smaller (and holding less litter) it wasn’t quite up to that much use by three cats. We gave it three weeks of trying and decided it wasn’t for us.

I think the design and quality of the box is very good. I think the box would work better with scoopable litter. I also think that the box would work well for a one cat household or a house where the boxes get more even use. But for three of us using predominantly one litter box it just wasn’t up to the job. And because the box is on the small size,  I’m not sure I’d recommend this box for the bigger kitties out there (bigger than 15 or so pounds). Mom gave the box to a friend that just got a new kitty and we went back to using our bigger box. It will be interesting to see what Mom’s friend thinks of the box after she’s had it a while. We’ll let you know how it goes.

Next weekend is EK’s and my birthday. I’m gonna be 3, and EK’s gonna be 2. My new, custom made harness should be here this week so I’m hoping I get to go to the park for my birthday. Cross your paws that I get to go. See you next week everyone!
