Final Tylee's #Chewy Influencer

 Marcus:   Does this pose make me look fat?  Jan says I'm fat. 

Merci:  Not quite, but you do need to lose some weight.  It's a shame you couldn't stay on this Tylee's human grade no grain turkey recipe dog food.  Jan has been cutting back a bit on the amount of kibble she feeds us so you just might have lost some weight.

Buddy:  On the other paw, even though we have only been getting this food as a topper on our breakfast and dinner kibble, I have gained some weight.  Jan is really happy about that since I tend to be too thin in my old age. She thinks I can better digest this food. 

Marcus:  Merci, you're supposed to stay still while Jan takes photos.

Merci:  I can't stop now.  I'm checking to see if any crumbs fell out of my bowl on the way to breakfast.

Buddy:  This is what the food looks like when Jan takes it out of the freezer to thaw.

Chewy lists the key benefits as -

•     Made with human-grade ingredients just like you’d find at the grocery store—real, whole foods you can see and identify, with nothing sourced from China.

•     These recipes are easy to serve—simply defrost and add to your pet’s bowl. Tylee’s can also be used as a topper to make any regular bowl of kibble more enticing.

•     Minimally processed ingredients retain all their natural flavors and valuable antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to support your dog’s best health.

•     Grain-free food for dogs can better suit pups with sensitive tummies. Plus, there are no fillers like corn, soy, wheat or by-product meals.

•     Chia seeds, ground flaxseed and sunflower oil are full of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids to nourish your pup’s skin and help his coat stay shiny and full.
  

Merci:  You sure look like you're enjoying that, Buddy.

Buddy: I am. We've been enjoying this for a month and this is our third post on it.  It's too bad this food review has come to an end.

Merci: I know. Jan has enjoyed feeding it to us. From the first, it helped Buddy's stools, but it is kind of expensive, so she can't afford to buy it for us.

Marcus: Hey, where's my picture? There is always a picture of me eating inside my Private Dining Car, but there isn't one today.

Buddy: That might be because the last few days of the trial you pretty much stopped eating. You would eat some or most of it if Jan put you in your PDC for a while, but Jan didn't know if you were just off your food or off this particular food.

Merci: Well, I enjoyed whatever Marcus left of his meals.

Buddy: Yes, you were quite the scavenger. Marcus lost his appetite and you found it.

Marcus:  I enjoyed the new food for a while but it was good to get back on just the regular diet.  And I am content eating less kibble now.  I wonder if the Tylee's frozen human grade food helped Buddy and me curb our ravenous appetites?


Chewy provided us with a month's supply of Tylee's as a food topper since we're bigger dogs.  We received no other compensation and Chewy is not responsible for the content.   

Positive Difference #Chewy Influencer

Marcus:  Is it time yet?  I've been waiting for days for you to open this bag and let us taste it.

Merci:  You're a fibber.  The bag had just arrived when Jan took this picture.

Marcus:  But Jan took so long to open the bag the food froze.

Buddy:  It arrived frozen, well-packed with dry ice so it stayed frozen.  It's Tylee's turkey recipe human grade whole food. 

Merci:  Here, I'll read you the full ingredient list - Turkey Heart, Deboned Turkey, Turkey Liver, Water (Sufficient For Processing), Cranberries, Zucchini, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Sunflower Seeds, Tricalcium Phosphate, Sunflower Oil, Chia Seeds, Ground Flaxseed, Potassium Chloride, Salt, Cod Liver Oil Powder, Ground Cinnamon, Dried Kelp, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Iron Amino Acid Chelate, Rosemary Extract, Copper Amino Acid Chelate, Manganese Amino Acid Chelate.

Marcus:  Isn't that what we've  had mixed in our food for the last two weeks?  I like it.

Buddy:  I begged for some from the new bag and Jan gave me a sprinkle even though it hasn't thawed out yet.  It's good.

Merci:  Well, I had enough sense to wait until dinner when the food is thawed.

Buddy:  We're supposed to tell everyone how we are doing on this food.  We're eating it as a topper mixed in our food, not as full meals, and the only difference Jan can pinpoint at this time is that it has made a positive difference in my stools from the beginning.

Marcus:  Aren't you going to elaborate?

Buddy:  No! "Positive difference" should be enough.

Marcus:  You're not going to post a picture?

Buddy:  There had better not be any pictures of my poop!  

Marcus:  Well, I'm disappointed.  I was looking forward to -

Buddy:  Enough on the subject!

Marcus:  I was just going to say I was looking forward to all of us having a second helping, but if you're going to yell at me, I'll be quiet.

Merci:  That would be a first!  But I'm sure you will have more to say when we do our third and final post on our 30-day trial of Tylee's.

Healthy Eating #Chewy Influencer

Marcus:  Hey, why are we putting this picture of Merci eating first in this post?

Merci:  Oh, I'm sorry.  I didn't realize everyone is watching me eat. 

Buddy:  You have a bit of sweet potato stuck to your nose. 

Marcus:  Here, let me!

Merci:  We are so pleased to be able to do a 30-day review for Tylee's, the new Chewy exclusive Human-Grade Dog Food.  We chose the turkey recipe.  Someone asked if, since the food is human grade, is Jan going to join us for the taste test. 

Marcus:  No way!  She doesn't share her food with us unless we steal it.

Buddy:  This is what it looks like in the bag.  You can see the cranberries, sweet potato, zucchini and spinach.

Marcus:  We will be making three posts during the 30 days.  This first post is to give you our first impressions of the new food.  It is moist, not dry and crunchy, and has lots of taste.  Jan likes that the food is healthy for us.

Buddy: The original plan was for all three of us to dine on the new food for 30 days, but after a weekend of portion confusion - "too much", "too little", we're going to STARVE ... 

Marcus:  I'm not the one who didn't buy us kibble because we were supposed to eat the new food! 

Merci:  It was a bit too close but Miss Johnnie saved the day when she stopped at the store after church so Jan could run in and buy a big bag of kibble to go with the rapidly dwindling supply of the new food.

Buddy:  Even though Jan thought she had the new food portions figured out correctly, her estimation of how long it would last was way off and the bag quickly approached empty.  To keep our 30-day momentum, we have enough to get through with partial servings until another bag arrives. 

Merci:  Then Marcus and I will get 1/4 of the new food and 3/4 of the kibble.  Buddy will get half and half.

Marcus:  That's not fair.  Why the change?

Merci:  Miss Natalie said whatever Jan wants to do and Jan decided that would be the best and easiest way for her to do it.  There are other people who use it as a topper or feed a portion in kibble.

Marcus:  Why does Buddy get more of the new food than we will?

Merci:  Jan wants to see if this food will be beneficial to Buddy's health. She is also interested to see if it has any affect on your hyper behavior.

Buddy:  We'll let you know in a couple of weeks how we are doing on Tylee's.

Victor Grain Free #ChewyInfluencer

Marcus:  Hey, you guys are looking a little green around the ... well, everything.  What happened?

Buddy:  It's almost time for the wearing of the green for St. Patrick's Day, so we thought a little green would be appropriate for the occasion.

Marcus:  A little green?  You couldn't just wear a green collar for the occasion?  Er ... where did you get the green food?

Merci:  From Chewy.com.  Where else?  They sent us some Victor super premium dog food to try.

Marcus:  We're doing a review of green food?  I think I'll skip this one.

Buddy:  No, this is what the food actually looks like.  Chunks in gravy.  But if you don't want any, that means more for us.

Marcus:  Not so fast. Jan has already spooned some over our breakfast kibble. Since it isn't green, I'm in.

Merci:  Chewy lists the key benefits as -

•     Natural, wholesome recipe with added vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients to keep your pup in peak health.

•     With premium ingredients that include chicken, beef broth, beef, carrots, peas, egg, and flaxseed.

•     Highly palatable: even the pickiest eaters will love the taste and texture of this delicious grain-free meal.

•     Supports healthy digestion, enhanced bowel function, and muscle health.

•     Omega fatty acids found in flaxseed contribute to healthy skin and a shiny, lustrous coat.

Buddy:  It's grain free, too. 

Merci:  Uh ... who is this little guy and what's he doing in my bowl?

Buddy:  He's a leprechaun.  Just eat around him. 

Merci:  Good, he's leaving.  I think he got a bit soggy from the water Jan adds to our kibble.

Buddy:  I hope his mom knows how to wash gravy stains out of his clothes.

Marcus:  I don't know whether to feel relieved or slighted.  My breakfast wasn't served with a leprechaun.

Merci:  You should be relieved. Your nose is too broad to eat around anything in your bowl.

Marcus:  I thought before I finish my Victor beef and vegetables, I should dress for the occasion.

Buddy:  You're dressed for the wrong occasion.  That's a Dr. Seuss hat.

Merci:  Oh, Marcus, you remembered.  You're so sweet.

Buddy:  He is?

Merci:  Yes, Marcus promised to take over Angel Sam's role as the Funny Farmer who is usually dressed for the wrong occasion.
