Be Pawsitive June 2013 Unboxing & Review!

I was recently sent the first box from the lovely people over at Be Pawsitive! Be Pawsitive is a new treat box for dogs that also helps dogs as well! When you purchase a box of treats, they give a box of treats to shelter dogs! I love it when companies giveback with a purchase that you make! It makes the purchase that much more worthwhile. Each month you receive a bag of approximately 55 treats in a new flavor, all made in the U.S., updates on how the treats are helping sheltered dogs, and a sponsored product, gift card, or discount code. This box costs $24 a month, $66 for 3 months or $108 for 6 months.  Lets get into the first box of this service! :)

060This months box came with a bag of Original Be Pawsitive Oven Baked Biscuits, a notice telling about the first month of Be Pawsitive and what their goal is, and what the program is about, a beautiful Logo Decal (my mom wants to put it on the car!), a business card, and a Rover.com gift card.

061This months biscuit was in the Original flavor! They are baked in a small batch with all natural, healthy ingredients. Most importantly they're made with LOVE! The package says that these are natural nutritious treats with organic ingredients, they're flavors that dogs love, they reward shelter dogs, supports communities, and are made in the U.S.A.! They're also USDA Organic. They're made with all Organic ingredients including Whole-Wheat Flour, Canola Oil, Wheat Bran, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Non Fat Dry Milk, Honey, Rosemary, Garlic and Rosemary Oil. This is kind of weird, because I thought garlic was toxic to dogs? Is this just one of those giant myths? These treats are baked and distributed by Wagatha's in Vermont! I'm not sure if every bag will be baked and distributed by them, but I love that it's made in a close state! The back of the bag reads:
"Our treats do more than reward your pup. They also help bring happiness to dogs in need of a little extra love. We created Be Pawsitive to wag more tails- at home and in animal shelters across the country. While your dog enjoys this bag of healthy, delicious treats, know that a shelter dog without a family is doing the same. Thanks to you."

I'm going to be honest, when I opened the bag, wanted to eat one! They smell SO good, like a mixture of graham crackers and oatmeal cookies! When I received the box, I instantly opened it first and gave one to my 150+ lb dog! He didn't really care for it at first, taking it and laying down with it. But it's almost like he wanted to get comfortable to eat it, he then chomped away on it, and it seems that it's his ritual with these treats. He is a very healthy dog, loving his fruits and vegetables (carrots, apples, bananas are his favorite) so he seemed to really like these treats. I know some dogs that won't even go NEAR anything that doesn't smell like meat! I really love that these are made with all organic ingredients and not made with fillers or gluten. We've been giving him a couple a day (he's a big dog naturally) and we still have more than half a bag! With my recent loss of my 16 year old dog, I feel that this really gave him some happiness, he's been down and out without her. I also feel she would have really enjoyed these too :(

This is the AWESOME decal! Look at how cute and creative the logo is! :) It's a pawprint with a heart as the pad. So cute and clever! It also feels like a super high quality decal, and hopefully my mom and I can get it on our car without my dad finding out ;)

064Lastly was this Rover.com $25 gift card. This is for dog sitting. We are not in the position financially to go on vacations or even day vacations at that, nor are we in the position to pay someone to sit our dog. Even if we could, our dog is so anti social with people, there's no way he could be brought to a strangers house. That being said, I do have a cousin (who has my dogs sister) that loves going on day trips, vacations ect, that I think could benefit from this, so I'm going to share the love with her :) One thing I'm not crazy about is that on the back it says "for new customers only- previous Rover customers are not eligible for this gift card." which I don't think is fair. A gift card shouldn't have a limitation on who can and can't use it. I like that this card pays for the whole box itself.

 

Overall I like this pet box! I think that it has some potential, but feel the price is just a tad bit high. I think this would be a good box to get once in a while, but I don't think I could afford it every month. I really like the all natural, organic aspect of the dog treats, and I like that there is finally a company that offers a healthy, organic treat made right here at home! I'm sick of the items coming in from overseas that make our dogs sick and possibly toxic to them. I also like that this box has an extra item that comes with it each month, although this month wasn't a usable product for me, I'm excited to see what there is in the future. I also love that when you buy a box, they give a box to a shelter or organization! It's good to help all the sad puppies in anyway you can, especially bringing them happiness and joy until they go to a loving furever home.

Big thank you to Be Pawsitive for sending this box my way! You cheered my pup up :)
