Halo's Liv-A-Littles Freeze-Dried Salmon Product Review

 

Sandie (my 12 year old Sharpei Mix dog) loves loves loves SALMON.  I was given a free treat container of the freeze-dried salmon by Halo!  My dog could smell that salmon on the outside of the shipping box, she knew it was for her!

I like the small treat because it is perfect for treating her while we are eating dinner (to keep from giving her food we are eating which is a big NO) and she definitely wants MORE.

I would order this all the time but the cost is ineffective for me.  I realize that this cost is very good for this product considering what other places are charging for it.  It's something I would consider for a birthday gift, the day she was adopted, Christmas gift.  And I will buy it again!

I decided that I will buy this again for the mere reason that I learned on the directions that you can push the treat (dehydrated salmon) between your fingers and add it to the meal to encourage eating.  Sandie needs this right now because as a Senior she had blood work done and a urine pull.  They have her on a special dog food to treat the crystals in her urine.
I did that today and she ate all her breakfast! 

I would highly recommend this treat to other dog companions (aka "owners").  I think if Sandie could talk she would recommend it to others too as long as they aren't taking from her supply!

ps... TO THE CAT PEOPLE: This product is for cats too!  Meow!

List of Hobbies

In today's fast-paced and stressful times, indulging in a hobby is a much-needed breath of fresh air. When it comes to hobbies, the sky is the limit. Anything that interests you and makes you feel relaxed and happy can be cultivated as a hobby. Our section on hobbies has a wide range of areas that you can browse through if you're on the lookout for something different to take up as a hobby, or to nurture the hobby you already have. What's more, there are some hobbies that you can even make money from.

 

I have many hobbies and some things I find that when I see them from friends online or offline, I start them for the challenge and then I keep some as hobbies and others I do once in awhile.

Though we all may have similar appearances outwardly, our mind is but a bundle of complex interests and imagination, not possible for all to understand. A hobby is a way to escape from doing what is 'expected' from us, to doing what we 'like' to do. Maybe I would never be able to understand why Johnny Depp likes playing with Barbie dolls; maybe you will. If you like doing something, just do it! You don't have to think about the others; there are a plenty of things you are doing for them anyway!
