Pets are an important part of my life. They’re my family, just like everyone else. I treat them the same way I would with my own children. I want to make sure they’re getting enough exercise and they eat what’s right for them. It’s so important that they get what’s right for them so they can live long and happy lives. My dog love to be outside, and she’s always full of energy. I love that she likes to be outside often, because that means she getting enough exercise. Do you ever check to make sure the food you’re feeding your dog is the healthiest option for them?

With the IAMS Visible Difference products I know my dog will get what she needs. By feeding your dog these products, you’ll see noticeable improvements in energy, skin, coat and digestion. These products are 100% proactive nutrition with 0% fillers. There are many of these products to choose from too. I went to Walmart and picked up a package of  IAMS grain free naturals for my dog.

I chose this dog food because it sounded like something my dog would enjoy. I really loved that it had no grains or chicken by-product meal. This food was for dogs who are 1 year or older. One of the main reasons I liked this food, was because of the packaging and the ingredients. The flavor was salmon + red lentil. I knew this was going to be a great quality dog food. I honestly wasn’t to sure on whether my dog was going to like this brand, but since it did have the salmon in it, it was the one I had to try for her. I know she loves that flavor, so I figured she should love this dog food too.

Do you ever do something nice or relaxing for your dogs? I think they deserve to have a nice day just like everyone else. Since my dog love to be outside, I thought the perfect setting for her would be a nice picnic. As long as she gets to play outdoors, she’ll be very happy. I laid out a blanket with some of the IAMS dog food on it along with a bowl of water. Our dogs name is Trixie, and she loved the food. She ate it so quickly, which is why I knew she loved it. It’s a great thing to know when your dog actually enjoys food that is good for them. It’s not often that my dog will like something I put in front of her. She can be very picky with her food. She normally picks out the smaller pieces if there are a mix of smaller and larger pieces of food. She ate every piece of food from this dog food. I’m happy to say she is a big fan of the IAMS grain free naturals dog food.

Since we decided to have a picnic with our dog, we laid out some of the IAMS dog food for her along with some water. My daughters wanted to join in on the picnic. We all had a lot of fun having a nice picnic with Trixie. She enjoyed being able to play around and have some fun outdoors on our blanket. My girls were petting her and playing around with her on the blanket. She loved it so much! Thanks to IAMS for making our picnic a huge success!

WP_20151101_15_14_32_Pro

My daughters and I are excited to plan another IAMS picnic with Trixie. We all had so much fun that we knew we’d have to plan another one. We were happy to plan this special day with our dog. They deserve to have a fun day as well. What’s really great is that it turned out to be fun for everyone! Have your friends and family join in on the fun with their dogs. What kind of special day would you like to plan with your dog?

WP_20151101_15_08_50_Pro

Has your dog tried any of these IAMS Visible Difference products yet? If so, what did they think of them? It’s amazing how a switch of dog food can help out your dog. My family and I are excited to continue to feed this food to our dog.

    We have two pups and we absolutely love them; they complete our family. As such, we treat them like the family members that walk around on two legs and feed them IAMS, let them rest (a.k.a. hog) on the couch, they get hugs and lovins, walks, and much more. Did I mention that they get special treats on their birthday and Christmas too?

    Hehe … what I really intended to say was we love IAMS and our pups. It’s a match made in heaven. 🙂
