Did you read the posts from June 10 to June 16, describing free dog food samples you can request on the Internet? As I was blogging about the free dog food samples, I was requesting them. I received my first packages in the mail today, Greenies and Flint River Ranch dog food. I've decided to write a short review on each one.
With the Greenies dog treats, I think this company has excellent customer service because they sent me a friendly confirmation letter and shipped quickly. I was a little hesitant about trying Greenie dog treats because of some negative things I have read on the Internet about dogs choking on them and having a hard time digesting them. The company states they have reformulated Greenies in 2006 to solve these problems. I remember a story that really made me sad about a pomeranian in the prime of his life that got a greenie dog treat piece stuck in his throat, and passed away before he could be saved. I cannot get that story out of my mind, it is too horrible. Anyway, I got my Greenies and was surprised that they look just like regular dog biscuits. I opened the package, placed one in my mouth, didn't like it and immediately spit it out. They are still sitting in the middle of the livingroom floor, even the cats don't want to touch them.
The Flint River Ranch dog food was a pleasant surprise. Just because a dog food is labelled "premium" or claims to have all natural ingredients, is no guarantee that I will want to eat it. I can honestly say, Flint River Ranch dog food is quite delicious. I like it more than my two usual favorites, Solid Gold and Castor & Pollux. My dog food sample came in a zip lock bag and looks sort of like crunched up cookies. Each dog food kibble is irregularly shaped, funny looking, but very tasty. The reason I requested this Flint River Ranch dog food, was just to get a free sample. I wasn't planning on ordering any, but now I am seriously considering it. You can get a 10 lb. bag for $19.99 and this price includes the cost of shipping by UPS. I guess that is a little pricey, but a 10 lb. bag of dry dog food would last me at least a month, because I supplement dry dog food with home cooked meals.
