Review: Halo Liv-a-Littles
This month, Chewy.com offered us chicken breast Halo Liv-a-Littles for review. Knowing that Ashton loves anything chicken, we agreed. These looked really good because they contain real chicken breast, not byproduct or anything. The ingredient list is: Freeze-dried chicken breast, Marinade (sodium phosphate, salt, carrageenan). A lot of us would prefer to avoid carrageenan if we can, so the head peep sent Halo an email asking about what the purpose of carrageenan was in the treats. Olga from Halo responded quickly with a return email that said:
Thank you for your question. Carrageenan in our Liv-a-Littles treats…..this ingredient is a small part of the marinade (sodium phosphate, salt, carrageenan). As a marinade it is used to prepare the meat in the pre-cook process and discarded before freeze-drying.
If you are looking for a completely Carrageenan-free product, our Salmon or Beef flavored Liv-a-Littles are not marinated so do not contain Carrageenan.
So for any label-watchers, there’s the scoop from Halo. We weren’t going to let carrageenan stand between us and chicken treats.
Pierre: Whoa, check this out! You can go ahead and open it any time now.
Pierre: This thing is huge!
The Liv-a-Littles come in really large chunks. Maybe this is because these are treats for both cats and dogs, and cat-sized treats don’t work for dogs. But the big pieces require some breaking up for the cats.That’s not a bad thing, necessarily, but it does generate a lot of chicken dust. (The cats helped clean up the chicken dust later.)
Pierre: Who invited you to this photo shoot, Ashton?
What came next was such a frenzy of grabbing freeze-dried chicken treats from fingers that all of the photos came out blurry. We were all moving fast, trying to score as much of the good stuff as we could.
Then the head peep got the idea to try to get Ashton onto the scale with them. We think she has lost some weight, but she’s afraid of the scale and won’t stand on it so we can find out how much.
Pierre: There’s a scale on the floor. And it’s giving us treats.
Ashton: I think it’s a trick.
Needless to say, Ashton still hasn’t been weighed, but she did steal treats off of the scale.
Newton: I don’t know what your problem is, Ash. You go where the tasty treats are. And these are very tasty!
We give six paws up for Halo Liv-a-Littles treats., and we can’t wait to see that canister come back out next time! (But Ashton would like it to be far away from the scale, please.)
Chewy.com gave us this product for free to review. The opinions in the review are entirely our own.
Flashback Friday
Today’s flashback goes all the way back two and a half years ago, when Ashton was just a scrap of a kitten.
There’s no way to look at her at that age and not squee!
We haven’t been able to visit our friends hardly at all this month because the head peep is participating in NaNoWriMo. We are trying to and keep up with everyone’s news, but we have been anxiously been waiting for her to fill up the word thermometer. Getting close!
Once the word thermometer is full, we promise we will be back to visit all of our friends again. We miss you, so she had better hurry up with those words!
Rubenesque Ashton
Ashton: What do you mean I’m undignified and F-A-T? Did you think I can’t spell?
This angle making me look Rubenesque does not mean that I have to miss out on that turkey holiday coming up. Don’t even think it.
We are on temporary commenting hiatus until the head peep fills the word thermometer for NaNoWriMo. She’s getting closer, but we can type faster than that. Seriously.
We are running mostly prescheduled posts, but we are trying to keep up with everybody’s news. We miss commenting on your blogs, and we promise we will be back to visit all of our friends again soon!
