Holy Holistic, Batman! #chewyinfluencer

I look good

It's so hard to maintain this fabulous physique. I have to SLEEP right, PLAY right, and most of all I have to EAT right. It is really difficult sometimes to find a food that makes you feel good, that tastes good and doesn't make you gain weight.

The June newsletter by Chewy.com contained the answer to my weight prayers -

Holistic Select Adult Health Duck Meal Recipe Dry Dog Food By Holistic Select

The manufacturers of this food, Holistic Select, claim that their recipe promotes BETTER digestion, BETTER nutrition and BETTER life. I am not sure how eating can lead to these three things but I am always willing to TASTE and SEE. So I selected it to see if maybe I could be a BETTER ME.

First off, let me tell you the DUCK formula is yummy. It has the right savoriness along with a very satisfying crunch. And the AFTER-TASTE in the bowl is supreme. I spent a good 10 minutes AFTER I had eaten just licking every taste molecule from the bowl. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

I chose DUCK because - well, Mommy said so. She said all we ever get it CHICKEN and it was time to venture out. I don't care. It's meat, after all. It's protein. That is all I care about.

About 2 weeks after I started eating the food, Mommy noticed I was losing weight. She was a little concerned because she wasn't actively making me DIET. Not only that, but I looked downright GOOD - all healthy and stuff. My coat looked good, my eyes were bright. She could find nothing to be alarmed about other than my looking thinner. So she upped my rations a little. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! More food! She reasoned, and has noticed in the past, that really good food means I can eat more (note: by more I mean closer to the suggested portions and not my usual TINY portion) without gaining weight. This is so important for a pug. When I went to the DOGTER shortly after Mommy noticed this, he was so happy with my weight and he called me

P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!

My SEXY sit

Note how nothing is manufactured or a cast-off, by-product, if you will. This is why it tastes so good and is so good for a pup.

I really liked the Holistic Select Duck Meal and I highly recommend it to my pug furiends who are trying to keep their weight down. They will feel fuller and look better than they would on those so called D-I-E-T foods.
