Reading the comments and i have noticed the ignorance regarding a plant based diet for our fury friends, whilst meat is a middle man for nutrients it also contains harmful chemicals and pesticides that the animal was subject to and after being processed, meat is also a known carcinogenic according to the fda, who and cancel councils.
I have a twelve month old bullmastiff, yep a vegan showdog who is lean and mean on a 100% plant based diet, i suggest you educate your selfs on plant based foods. You can’t really say you love animals if you exploit them for food and byproducts yep that’s aimed at you ya filthy veterinarians

Hmm, interesting…as dogs are omivorous just like humans. Dogs thrive on meat-based diets, they are meat-eaters.

Yeah, it actually kind of bothers me when people try to force vegan or vegetarian diets on their pets. (I’m a vegetarian. My dog and cats are not.)
That said, I have heard of vets prescribing that Natural Balance vegetarian food as part of an elimination diet to try to diagnose allergies (with the idea that it will be temporary). And I think it is probably OK to give a dog a vegan treat every now and then. But I would not feed a dog vegan/vegetarian food long term.
If they ever did this for cats, though, I would have to protest. Cats are obligate carnivores. They can’t properly digest plant-based foods. (Never mind the lack of taurine.)

I have received that same flavor Yaffbar in a Bulu box before, and my dog wouldn’t touch it!

While I am a vegetarian, my dog is not…
At any rate, she has a mighty sensitive stomach and I’d be better off not messing with what has been working for her (which is Natural Balance Duck and Potato).
Am thinking about getting a cat subscription box, though, but am not sure which one to choose.

My little dog (my only dog since my Penny died last month) eats Natural Balance moist food, but the only flavor she doesn’t like is Duck and Potato! She is finicky about her food. I saw somebody do a review of the Kitnipbox on youtube. It looks pretty cool! My old girl is 14 and not in good health, so I am going to wait to subscribe until she passes and we get kittens.

I’m with you. My dog is my child. I pay closer attention to what I put into her than I do myself at times! It took several years to find the right diet that didn’t upset her stomach or trigger her weird skin allergies. I just am so afraid of ordering one of these boxes and rocking that boat!
The cats, on the other hand… in case they weren’t spoiled enough already, may need this box.

I don’t know if you’ve come across this to, yet the boxes all seem to have food samples. I don’t mind treat samples. Yet my cats and dog are all on Blue Buffalo I don’t want to switch foods. I’m hoping to find a cat box with treats, health items and toys ( no real food ). It would be great if a company did a combo dog and cat box =v=.

One of my cats is a garbage disposal. I can feed her anything and it won’t upset her stomach a bit. (Plus, she’s on steroids for her asthma so she’s extra hungry all the time.) And I have two other cats I want to switch to wet food but they’ve been resistant, so I’m open to trying new foods. (Sadly, my fourth cat has inflammatory bowel disease and can only eat lamb, which is $3 a can!)

Liz: Thank you for showing the products in your post. When I noticed it this morning, I did not click the link on the email they sent. Some of the stuff you have listed sounds pretty good. Especially the : Miss Sarah’s Botanicals – All Natural Flea & Tick Repellant — I’m really finicky on pet products I use because they have to much icky stuff, so I’ve been using natural stuff. This box seems like it is put together nicely. For me it will really come down to value, because all the products seem great.
