Perrito Chicken Fillet

Perrito Chicken Fillet

Ingredients: Chicken.

Analytical constituents: Crude protein 60%, crude fat 1.5%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 7%, moisture 18%.



Review: The Perrito Duck & Chicken Fillet Package were included in the PetsNature product test (more information here). I think the design is very nice and the package colour suits the Chicken Fillets well. Furthermore, after opening the package it smelled a lot like chicken which I think is good and Rocky seemed to like the smell as well as he was straight away crazy about the Chicken Fillets. Accordingly, Rocky loved the Perrito Chicken Fillets and always loves to get one. I would definitely recommend the Perrito Chicken Fillets as Rocky was crazy about it.

Review: The nose2tail Salmon variety was Rocky's least favourite flavour. Rocky is not a big fan of fish which is why he didn't really like the Salmon flavour.



Overall Review


 Overall, I think the nose2tail hypo-allergen grain free dog food varieties are great! They have great ingredients and I really like that they have a high meat content while at the same time do not contain any grains.
I only wish nose2tail would offer a greater variety of flavours.

Pet Organic Chicken & Rice
 

With the Chicken & Rice Dog Food we have received a small supplement bag.
  
Description of the Pet Organic Chicken & Rice: "Includes perfectly cooked roast organic chicken, braised chicken liver, eggs and chickpeas with freshly grated carrots, oregano, thyme and parsley. Brown rice is cooked in flavoursome homemade stock.

Each Pouch serves 2 Adult Meals and it includes supplements. 

Pouch sizes are available from Toy to X-Large and can be choosen between Organic and Free Range."
 

Review: The Pet Organic Chicken & Rice variety looked and smelled really good. The ingreadients are all very fresh and it smells human cooked. I especially like that supplements are included so the meal is 100% balanced.
Rocky really liked it as well and couldn't get enough of it.
Unfortuantely we were only able to test one variety so we can only refer to the Chicken & Rice variety. Even though a description of the ingredients is given, I would prefer a 100% detailed list of the ingredients and the analytical constituents to be able to tell how much of each ingredient is included.
Overall, the Pet Organic dog food is a great food if you want to feed your dog a home cooked meal.

DogBite Rain Jacket


Description of the DogBite Rain Jacket: "The all-year model is suitable for all dogs, whether with short, long or thick coat.
The natural isolation of the dog coat is affected by many different influences.
Especially for dogs who are not kept outdoors, the natural fur is not present in the needed measures.
This model can be used an all-year. In wind, rain or colder temperatures. Especially for dogs with a fuller undercoat this jacket stood the test in winter as a thin isolation layer against the cold wind and snow.
Pleasant side effect: Your dog stays dry and clean after every walk. This safes time and means less effort.


The DogBite Rain Jacket / All-Year Jacket for dogs at one glance:
  • Wind- and waterproof functional material
  • 30°C machine washable
  • Available in the back lengths: 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 cm

We have a DogBite Rain Jacket in brown and size 25 for Rocky.

In order to keep the Rain Jacket dry, the Zipper is additionally closed via a cover with velcro.

A perfect fit is given by the two draw cords which are secured with a safety cover in order to avoid the loops getting stuck.

The Rain Jacket can be flexibly adjusted at the neck via velcro opening.

The practical hind leg loops keep the Rain Jacket close to the body at the back area.

The DogBite Rain Jacket has all round relection stripes.

Due to the Two-Way-Zipper a lead can be attached to a harness that is worn under the Jacket.

Review: I am more than happy with the DogBite Rain Jacket. It is very lightweight and thus also suitable for warmer days in order to keep the dog dry. Therefore, the DogBite Rain Jacket is also suitable for dogs with long and thick fur.
The Rain Jacket can moreover be easily dressed as it can be easily and quickly closed at the back. As it is also lightweight and thin, it adjusts perfectly to the dog body. I especially like that the Rain Jacket is equipped with sufficient reflection stripes in order to ensure safety in the dark. My favourite feature is that the dog can wear a harness under the Rain Jacket which is unfortunately not possible for many other dog jackets.
Rocky himself wore the DogBite Rain Jacket without any problems and seemed to have not really noticed it while walking. I also think the brown colour suits Rocky very well.
A great Rain Jacket for Dogs!

Review: I am also more than happy with the DogBite Softshell Jacket. I really like the Softshell material of the Jacket as it is water- and windproof, yet it is at the same time very soft and thus especially suitable for dogs that do not accept slightly rustling jackets. The Softhshell Jacket is lined with fleece which makes the Softshell Jacket also suitable for cold days and keeps the dog war. The taking on and off the Softshell Jacket is furthermore very easy and quick which is very positive for impatient dogs. The Two-Way-Zipper allows for the dog to wear a harness under the Softshell Jacket which is my personal favourite feature of the Jacket. The all round reflection stripes offer an extra security in the dark.
Rocky liked wearing the Jacket and I think it suits him very well.
A great Softshell Jacket for dogs!
   
   
   
Overall Review

I am more than happy about the DogBite Dog Jackets. The Rain Jacket and the Softshell Jacket are really great. I especially like that the DogBite Dog Jackets are completely flexible and are individually adjustable at the neck, chest and belly. Thus, they adjust perfectly to the dog's body. Furthermore, a harness can be worn under the DogBite Dog Jackets which is very positive. Unfortunately we were unable to test the DogBite Winter Jacket, but I am sure that we would be similarly happy with it than we are with the Rain Jacket and the Softshell Jacket.
Overall, the DogBite Dog Jackets are all round thought through Dog Jackets which fit well due to the Flexible System!
