#AboundPet Gives Winners Something to Bark About

What a great time we had last night at the #AboundPet Twitter Party, sharing tips on healthy and tasty food and treats for our dogs and cats. ABOUND is the new premium brand of dog and cat food available at the Kroger family of stores.

Everyone who attended learned about the healthy, natural ingredients that make up ABOUND, like chicken and salmon, blueberries and cranberries, and carrots and sweet potatoes -- the same healthy ingredients you might buy for your family to enjoy! 

As usual, we also had lots of fun seeing and sharing adorable photos of everyone's pets. Here are a couple of the cuties!

Review: Abound Dog Food and Treats #AboundPet

Remember this yummy looking dish? It's the pan roasted chicken I made during my recent blogger trip to Kroger, where the folks behind the ABOUND brand unveiled their brand-new line of dog and cat food and treats available exclusively at the Kroger family of stores.

Rocco keeps his head in the game in a bag of delicious
ABOUND dog food. 

So what does cooking with healthy, natural ingredients for you and your family have to do with dog and cat food? Plenty, we learned!

The folks behind the ABOUND brand believe that our dogs and cats should have access to the same kind of quality nutrition that the rest of our family members do.  (And so do we, by the way!) So they set about developing a line that includes all-natural ingredients, high-quality proteins, wholesome whole grains and nutrient-rich fruits and veggies. 

A few more things we like about ABOUND:

• Contains NO wheat, corn or soy fillers, NO animal by-product meal and NO artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. 
• A commitment to rigorous quality control in sourcing and processing foods to help ensure food safety.
• Lamb, chicken or salmon is the No. 1 ingredient in ABOUND's dry food
• Available at a great price at Kroger stores where folks shop for their family everyday

We also love that ABOUND believes that every cat and dog deserves a loving, forever home. That’s  why they are partnering with Best Friends Animal Society (BFAS) to help spread the word about BFAS's  Save Them All  mission, printed on all ABOUND pet food packages. 

For 30 years, Best Friends Animal Society has been focused on saving the lives of homeless dogs and cats. 

Rocco got the chance to sample ABOUND Chicken and Brown Rice dry food (it also comes in Salmon and Sweet Potato and Lamb and Brown Rice) as well as wet foods in the same flavors.

He loves both the dry and wet food and the dry food is motivating enough to use for training treats! (So is the wet food, but that would be kind of messy in my pocket!)

Rocco says, "more yummy food please!"  

Rocco also eagerly sampled the ABOUND Grain Free Jerky Bites dog treats that come in three flavors: Duck and Potato; Salmon and Sweet Potato; and Turkey, Pea and Berry.

Rocco snags a treat after waiting patiently

You can easily tear the Jerky Bites Treats into tiny pieces, making them a great option for training. Rocco LOVES these treats!

You can read more about ABOUND dog treats in this DogTipper review and about ABOUND cat food at CatTipper.
