Nala, my furry sister, will be 13 in about 3 months. In the past year, she’s become quite the picky eater. Mommy usually has to ‘pretty up’ her dinner in order to get her to eat it. So mommy is on a quest to find a food that she’ll enjoy eating.
\n
\nBut that’s not gonna be easy! She’s very <\/em>picky. Most of the time, mommy includes a small cookie in our food (Breath Buster<\/em>, by Pedigree). Nala was previously eating Pedigree food for senior doggies, but she suddenly decided that she didn’t like it anymore. She had no trouble eating other foods, so mommy knew she wasn’t sick.<\/p>\n

Mommy went to the store with Taylor, and was overwhelmed at all the different kinds of doggie kibble! How were they to choose? <\/p>\n

Then mommy spotted something different on the top shelf. There were a few different packages of kibble from Rachael Ray, called Nutrish<\/em>. Who knew that Rachael Ray even had <\/em>her own doggie food line? <\/p>\n

Mommy took a bag off the shelf and read the package: “Simple & Natural Ingredients. Real chicken is the #1 ingredient. No chicken by-product meal or fillers. No artificial flavors or artificial preservatives. 100% complete and balanced nutrition for dogs.” <\/p>\n

It also said, that proceeds from Nutrish go to “pet charities and other organizations that do good for animals.” To learn more about Rachael’s Rescue<\/em>, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look below for the Good Stuff vs. the Not-So-Good Stuff…<\/em><\/p>\n

As you look at the doggie food in the following pictures, you’ll see a few different colors: red, light brown, and dark brown. The red, light brown and some of the dark brown are from the Nutrish<\/em> with “Real Chicken & Veggies,” the product I’m reviewing. The other dark brown kibble is from Rachael Ray’s Just 6<\/em>. Mommy had to buy Just 6<\/em> on a recent store visit, ’cause they didn’t have any Nutrish<\/em>. She’s mixing in the Just 6<\/em> with the Nutrish<\/em>, because it’s healthier, but Nala didn’t seem to prefer the Just 6<\/em> as much. So this way she gets to have both!<\/p>\n

\nNala really enjoys it, though she doesn’t eat as much as she used to.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nMommy puts some Nutrish over the top of my Pedigree puppy food.
