Healthy Pet Advisor
is a pet subscription service that is part of a pet information
website. The site has a large information base including articles and
slideshows about common pet concerns and issues and the pet box is a
newer venture.
You can order a box for cats or small
dogs ($19.95 per month + $7.50 shipping) or a box for medium or large
dogs ($39.95/month + $9.50 shipping.) The small box includes one full
size grooming aid, supplement, treatment, or toy along with a variety of
food samples, toys, treats, surprises, etc. The large box has two full
size aids/supplements/treatments/toys along with a variety of food
samples, toys, treats, surprises, etc.
Your
box will be customized according to your pet quiz each month. If you
have some specific pet concerns, you might want to check out their
special boxes
like the "Itchy Scratchy Stinky", the "My Tummy Hurts," the "Older/Less
Active," and the "Big Boned" boxes." These boxes are still customized
for your pet, but they include specific types of products meant to
address issues like allergies, etc.

| Squeaky Dog from Mammoth(retail
$5.99): This is a sheepskin dog toy that has squeakers in the body.
Jade has been playing with this a lot and seems to enjoy it. She must
recognize that it's a dog! But seriously, Jade has a cute habit with her
toys (bragging forthcoming, skip ahead if you are tired of hearing me
brag about Jade lol): Every time we get a new dog toy in a box or as a
gift, we play with it for a few minutes and then it gets placed in her
"toy box." There are a lot of toys in that toy box, since she's spoiled
rotten. Jade always likes to get her newest toy out to play with first.
It's amazing to me how she sorts through all the toys and then selects
her newest acquisition first every time! She does of course play with
all her toys, but the first toy to play with each day has to be the new
one. |

| Grandma
Mae's Country Naturals Dog Food (14 oz, retail $2.49): This is a
chicken based kibble that we will be trying out soon. While some people
have the kind of dogs that actually eat their food when it's put out, I
do not. If I am lucky enough to get Jade to eat a food, she will only do
so enthusiastically for a week or so. Then, hunger strike. |

| Grandma
Mae's Farmhouse Blend (14 oz, retail $2.49): This is a dry kibble with
primary protein sources of fish and pork, so it's meant for dogs who
don't like or can't tolerate the more common sources like
chicken/beef/lamb. We are trying this tonight and I have high hopes.
Jade does have a tendency to like fish based foods, so she may deign to
eat some of this. I'm probably always going to be on the hunt for the
holy grail food that she likes, at least till I bite the bullet and go
raw. But, in the meantime we enjoy trying new things. |
 |
| Two
Stickers: These are meant for your doors, windows, etc. They will alert
emergency personnel that your furkids are inside and need to be rescued
in case of fire, etc. |
 |
| Richard's Organics
Anti Bacterial Shampoo(12 fl oz): This is a full size bottle of anti
bacterial shampoo with tea tree and Neem oil. Have yet to try this but I
enjoy the fragrance of tea tree, so really like it so far. Greyhounds,
as a short haired breed, don't need super frequent bathing so it will be
a while before we try this out. |
 |
| Supreme Healthy Max Dog Treats (4
oz): These were a big hit. They are made with salmon, and the smell is
definitely pungent. The "smellier" the better for Miss Jade, who would
gobble the whole bag at once if I would let her. I like that these are
formulated to help with skin and coat. |
 |
| Kong Squeezz Ball
($6.99 retail): This is from the awesome Kong company, which makes all
kinds of toys that you can conceal treats in. This had a small area in
the middle that is hollow. It can be filled with a stuffing or with
treats that the pup then has to work out of there. Jade enjoys her Kongs
and we've been having fun with this one. |
 |
| Yay, new Kong for me! |
 |
| Thanks for reading my review! |
This was a nice pet box, and it was especially
interesting because it puts the focus more on food, pet products, and
grooming type products rather than the treats that most pet boxes seem
to. I think some of the special focus boxes look like really good
choices for people who want to have more control over box contents, too.
