{GIVEAWAY} Innova Pet Food

Back in May, we were given the opportunity to visit the Natura pet food plant in Fremont, Nebraska.  We were thoroughly impressed with the facility, as well as the company’s commitment to providing high-quality pet food using wholesome, natural ingredients and their dedication to ensuring our pets’ health and longevity.  So when we were asked to participate in a feeding trial for Innova’s new formula, we didn’t hesitate to jump on board.  Unfortunately, Wally was unable to participate in the trial because the formula we were given contained chicken and Wally is allergic to chicken.  However, Lu has no allergies and was a very enthusiastic participant.

Innova recently reformulated their kibble by removing potatoes and white rice and adding more meat, as well as whole grains like brown rice, barley and oatmeal.  I have been a die-hard grain-free feeder, but I kept an open mind.  In the past, when I had tried to feed my dogs kibble containing grains, they became gassy and had issues with yeast, so I was not expecting to have the wonderful results that we had.

Lu has now been eating Innova’s NEW Adult Dry formula since the beginning of July and has done remarkably well on it.  She has had absolutely NO issues with gas or yeast.  Her coat is shiny and soft, her teeth are clean and her breath is fresh.  Call me a convert!

Innova’s NEW Adult Dry dog food is nutrient-dense, wholesome nutrition with high-quality protein from turkey and chicken.  It contains:

  • Farm-fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots and green beans
  • High-quality protein from real turkey and chicken
  • 100% whole grains with higher levels of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber1
  • High levels of Vitamin E to help support the immune system, plus antioxidants from apples and blueberries
  • Important fatty acids to help nourish a healthy, shiny coat

Now for the best part – you can try Innova’s new formula for yourself! 

We’re giving away one voucher redeemable for ANY SIZE bag of Innova pet food!

This giveaway is open to US residents ages 18+. To enter, just complete the requirements in the rafflecopter widget below.  Entries will be accepted through November 2, 2012.

Wally absolutely adores the squeaky squirrels in the Hide-a-Squirrel.  They drive him nutty!

Lu uses the Hide-a-Bee hive as a binky.  She was so excited when we pulled it out of the box.  She had to break it in right away!

Leave me ‘lone.. I’m binkin’.

Poor squirrely doesn’t even stand a chance.

We Had A Party!

We had a great time at our Nutro taste-testing party yesterday!  It was a great success!

Our guests had a chance to taste test Nutro’s new small breed kibble, as well as their crunchy treats and their small breed biscuits.

Nutro Natural Choice Small Breed Info

Nutro Small Breed Biscuits and Treats

Our guests arrived and the party was in full swing!

Miss Jasmine, the miniature Dachshund

Miss Bella, the Shih Tzu

Mr. DaVinci, the miniature Schnauzer

We were fortunate enough to be able to host our party at a local dog training facility, so we had access to some great agility equipment.  We taught the dogs some new tricks using Nutro’s crunchy treats as rewards.  All the dogs loved the crunchy treats in both banana and pomegranate flavors!

Wally can fly!

DaVinci was a little unsure about the tunnel..

But Miss Bella conquered her fear of the tunnel..

…and showed off some of her tricks!

We decorated some really pretty

frames for our doggy’s photos.

 And gave away some great prizes!

Miss Bella won a 15lb bag of Nutro Natural Choice Small Breed Dog Food!

And Mr. DaVinci has such a big smile,
because he was the winner of our Grand Prize -

A one-year supply of Nutro Natural Choice Dog Food!

Each dog left with a goody bag filled with a 5lb bag of Nutro Natural Choice Small Breed dog food, a bag of Nutro Crunchy Treats, a photo frame, a food bowl, a collar, a squeaky toy and a tennis ball toy.

We wish you could have joined in on the fun, so we’re giving you a chance to get your own goody bag!  You can enter for a chance to win a goody bag here:  http://www.lifewithlulu.com/?p=5710
