The way my readers responded to this giveaway, I may be able to skip taking pictures for my winners' posts. This is certainly quite a fun way to wrap up, don't you think?

I wish I could share all the photos here, but there simply is not time or space. Feel free to visit my Facebook page and scroll through, enjoying the scenery. Thank you to everyone who participated in this giveaway so energetically. I speak for NatureNosh and myself when I say, "We love your enthusiasm!"

Let's get down to business now and share some great organic dog treats with our deserving winners. Each recipient will receive a 4-pack of NatureNosh flavors for their dog to enjoy at home. The winning entries, drawn by Random.org, are: Anna Galanos, A. Jones, Joann, KelLani, C. Richman, and Cynthia. Congratulations to you all.


Your treats will be shipped by NatureNosh as soon as I receive all of your addresses, so please handle this ASAP. Send your shipping address to AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. If you're in Canada, you may want to include a phone number for the paperwork. This information will not be used for any purposes other than to ship your treats. No spam; that's our promise.

Dog Treat Review: Nature Nosh Scores Big with Treat Review Team

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

The results are in and our Treat Review Team has sent 2 Paws Up for Nature Nosh's USDA Organic treats. We especially enjoyed that they were not your typical, chicken, liver and beef flavors. After all, our pups deserve a little variety, even though we may know too much variety isn't good for our fido's tummies. 


While Beef  Liver "Wellington" was certainly a hit, the Chicken Liver Parmesan made my boys' eyes light up, and Pumpkin Pie was certain to pair well with Thanksgiving's Best for a November special-occasion treat. Wow! I could have noshed on the Pumpkin Pie flavored treats; they smelled delish.


One interesting point is the availability of USDA Organic liver. It's tough to source and Nature Nosh is proud to be one of few that are able to sport this USDA Organic logo on a liver-based treat that is made in the U.S. That's a lot of safe, healthy ingredients built right in for your Fido.


One additional perk that appealed to me was that despite there being no artificial preservatives, the product has a great shelf life, prompted by the addition of mixed Tocopherols (a form of vitamin E often used as a healthy preservative in natural foods). I loved seeing the expiration date on each bag and knowing that my pups had a long, long time to finish them if needed. 


And guess what is NOT in them?

Oliver Enjoys his Nature Nosh

Sounds good, huh? I love that there is nothing lurking in these yummies to leave toxins in my best furry friends. And apparently, the dogs sensed this too. There were no hesitant looks or reluctant munchers. It was chow down--across the board.

Tanner Poses with Treats on Paws

When I brought the bags out to let Tanner and Oliver take a whiff, I immediately had 2 eager photo models. I've got them trained now. When they see the camera and a product come out, it's definitely time to behave and practice their "Stay". It's a clear signal that they'll be getting some rewards for good behavior and these treats were major motivation.

Nature-Nosh Pyramid

I had a little fun tantalizing them with a Nature-Nosh pyramid in front of them for a picture. I'm sure they were saying to themselves, "Hold your stay. Just a few more minutes and I'll get to eat them!" And eat them they did. 


Would your dog like to try some Nature Nosh Treats? Who wouldn't want to offer their pup an ultra-premium, certified organic treat. No wheat, no corn, no soy, no toxins. Just wholesome ingredients.
