My Cats are “Healthy Pet Happy Pet” #HealthyPetHappyPet

May 10, 2016 by Ashley Leave a Comment

Up until recently my pets have been my life and were my only children that I loved and cared for; that changed two months ago with the birth of my son though it has not changed how much I love and care for their little furry faces.  Due to my mothering instincts I have been changing up all of their diets because I feel that I need to make sure that I have a healthy pet which will then create a happy pet.  This means I have been seeking out healthy cat food that isn’t made cheaply and is not full of fillers that they don’t need.  My hopes is that my kitten will grow up strong and healthy and that we can get our older cat to lose a couple of pounds because he is slightly over weight.

I am thankful to say that this post is sponsored by CANIDAE® Pet Food and the BlogPaws® Pet Influencer NetworkTM. I am being compensated to help create awareness about the GrainFree PURE® line of pet food but we only share information we feel is relevant to our readers. CANIDAE® is not responsible for the content of this article.  It is because I am working with CANIDAE® that I am able to feed my premium fresh cat food that is grain-free and high in protein just like a cat would eat in the wild.  I could tell from the moment that I brought the CANIDAE® Grain Free PURE food into the home that it was going to be a huge hit with our cats.

My #HealthyPetHappyPet

Whenever we bring home a new bag of cat food the cats swarm the bag, but with this food they not only swarmed the bag, but begged me to open it by rubbing against my legs as well as talking to me with their sweet little meows that always make my heart melt.  It was very exciting to see the change in their attitude.  I believe that they were able to tell that this would taste so much better than their old cat food.  There were many reasons that I was excited to give my cats this food, but here are the reasons that really forced a change in the way we are feeding our cats:

  • Grain-Free
  • No Chicken by-product meal
  • 7-10 key ingredients
  • Probiotics added to kibble after cooking.

Out of these reasons the last one is the one that really sold me.  I have recently realized how important probiotics are.  At the end of my pregnancy I began taking probiotics and my newborn son also takes them because they really help with our digestion.  I can only imagine that they will help our cats out just as much as it has been helping us out these past few months.  I also love that CANIDAE is an independent family-owned business that has been around since 1996.  This makes me feel like they care about their product as well as the animals that they make their food for.  Their tagline even accentuates this point:

Pet Food Made By Pet People™

HealthyPetHappyPet

If you think you can’t afford a cat food like this you might be wrong; you can find coupons for their pet food online.  Don’t step away because of a dollar amount just yet.  Remember that you want a healthy pet just as much as I do and I have managed to find a way to buy this food for my kitties on a fixed income with a newborn baby boy.  If I can do it so can you.  It sometimes means that you have to go through your budget and get rid of some non-essential expenses, but that is okay because family should come first and your pets are just as much family as are your children.  I would also recommend that you follow CANIDAE on social media to keep up on their products as well as any deals that might occur.

Before I leave you I want to share CANIDAE’s True Story video with you.  In this video you will learn just a little more about the brand that I believe will sell you on their product.  If that is the case then you will be wanting to head over to their store locator so that you can find a store near you that sells their products for your pets.

Is your pet a Healthy Pet, Happy Pet?

Find Your Cats Some Grain Free Cat Food Thanks to #AvoDermNatural

October 19, 2015 by Ashley Leave a Comment

 

 

This post is sponsored by Avoderm and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about Avoderm Grain-Free, but Parsimonious Pash only shares information that we feel is relevant to our readers. Avoderm is not responsible for the content of this article.

advoderm logoAs you may remember I recently wrote about AvoDerm® Natural’s Revolving Diet for your dogs, well today I want to share with you a little about their Grain Free cat food lines as well as where you can find their food.  That might sound a little mundane, but believe me it isn’t.  I say that it isn’t because the health of my cats is just as important as the health of my dogs.  I would like to think that you agree and can probably even tell me stories about how excited your cats get for their meats.

AdvoDerm Natural cats

I know my two crazy cats just go gaga for meat.  There is a reason for this.  Cats are carnivores.  You can see this through big cats.  When have you ever seen a big cat like a lion or a tiger just chow down on some grass or corn?  You haven’t have you.  That is because they are carnivores and they crave their meat.  So, why would you feed your cat anything other than what they are meant to eat?  That is why I have fallen in love with both the dry grain free cat foods as well as their pouches and canned grain free options for cats.  When you look at the ingredients you will notice that they are mostly meat based, but they do still contain the Avocado superfood in them because they will help boost your feline with some great vitamins and minerals naturally.

Now, that I have shared all of this wonderfulness with you I do not want to alarm you, but their food is only at select locations so you might find it hard to find it in a store near you.  This however does not mean that you cannot purchase it for your furry friends.  They do also sell their food online which means that you will be able to get it shipped to your doorstep.  In addition to all of this great information I noticed that you can also get a $5 off coupon just for signing up with them.  I recommend grabbing one to help you with your first purchase of their amazing grain free food.

I am a huge advocate for saving a few dollars in every way that I can.  This goes across the board and I am always ecstatic when I am able to save a little money on my puppy, Luna.  I think most parents feel that way when they find a way to save money on things for their children and my Luna is my fur-child.  I love her just as much as I would a daughter.  She is my world and if I am able to save some money that means that I can better afford the premium dog foods and dog treats for her on a regular basis!

Love A Bowl Full Of Fancy Feast® Broths

July 28, 2014 by Ashley 2 Comments

 

Fancy Feast® BrothsI love my cats, but Mr. Deimos is a finicky eater.  That’s why I was thrilled at the opportunity to try out Fancy Feast® Broths as a part of this sponsored post program.  You might be wondering why I would be so thrilled to be a part of this sponsored post program and  that is what I want to explain to you.  My Mr. Deimos is not like his brother and is crazy picky when it comes to what treats and cat food he will eat.

maka

Fancy Feast® Broths are different from any other cat food that I have ever given my two lovable kitty cats.  These broths are different for a few different reasons.  The first being the fact that they are made with no fillers and no by-products.  I love this about the food because I know that I prefer eating real food rather than food that contains fillers so why should I subject my pets to food that contains such ingredients?  The answer is that I should not subject them to such low quality food.

 

Fancy Feast® Broths Fancy Feast® Broths Fancy Feast® Broths

My cats deserve to eat food that is natural and full of nutrients. Each pouch of Fancy Feast® Broths is perfectly portioned, in a ready-to-pour pouch that includes a variety of eight lickable tastes and textures along with tender bites of high-quality real seafood your cats are sure to love just as mine have.  I was able to allow my kitty cats to sample two of the eight flavors and they both were rather ecstatic over these delectable broths.

These eight different varieties feature real seafood in vegetables served in either a classic or creamy savory broth.  I can tell you that I will be buying these little Fancy Feast® Broths for my cats on a regular basis now.  Well, actually not just my cats, but my friend’s cats as well because I do love to spoil his fur babies as well.  Do you have picky eaters in your home, too?  I would love to hear what your picky eaters will eat and won’t eat.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf Fancy Feast®.

Grain-Free Cat Food Can Be Good For Your Cat {Giveaway}

September 3, 2013 by Ashley 55 Comments

This post is sponsored by Hill’s. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about Hill’s Science Diet for Cats, but Parsimonious Pash only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. is not responsible for the content of this article.

Pet health is very important starting at a young age.  Choosing the right cat food is one of those things you need to make a decision on early enough.  Mind you, you can change their diet as they age you just want to transition them into it as to not disrupt their bodily functions as it gets used to the different nutrients and vitamins that it is bringing in.  When you choose which food you want to feed your cat you need to think about what the food is made of.

Grain Free Cat Food is trending and a popular buzzword right now.  The thing is most people don’t really know what the difference is or how their cat can benefit from grain free food.  I have been doing some research for awhile on how this can be beneficial to my two wonderful cats because for a while now one of them has had a lot of skin problems that we have been fighting to fix and deal with.  Some cats have allergies or sensitivity to grains that can result in itchy, dry skin and upset stomachs. Grain-free foods can help cats avoid these allergens which makes for an equally happy cat and owner!

The first thing you need to think about when feeding your cat is think about what is healthy for you. You would not want your diet to be something that is just high in carbohydrates, right? I know you wouldn’t because you know that is not good for you. Remember this when looking at what foods you are picking out for your kitty because many of the foods out there are high in carbohydrates and a lot of the grain-free foods are even higher in carbohydrates because they replace the grains with sweet potatoes.

Cat nutrition

Hill’s Science Diet Grain-Free food does not substitute the grain from their food with products like sweet potatoes.  Instead their main ingredient is Chicken.  Yes, real chicken.  No fake over processed crap.  Real chicken with no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.  I recently was just talking about eating healthy and one of the things I know I am cutting back on is preservatives in my food.  So, the question is why wouldn’t I want to cut that out of my pet’s diet as well?  The answer is I should cut that out of their diet.  It isn’t good for us so I don’t see how it could possibly be good for them either.

I know I have shoved a lot of information down your throats all at once, but believe me you won’t regret it.  You can win 1 of 2 20 pound bags of Hill’s® Science Diet® Adult Grain-Free cat food.
