True Drool - Pet Gift Box for Dogs

Good Evening Everyone,

Today, I would like to take the opportunity to review True Drool. True Drool is a pet gift box for dogs. They can be found by visiting: http://truedrool.com .



True Drool has many different gift box options to accommodate a wide array of budgets.  Depending on the type of box you select, you will receive 4-5 items.



True Drool also offers cool looking t-shirts in their apparel section, so we hoo-mans do not feel left out on the fun. :)


 Here is the contents of the True Drool box that I received:




Included in my box was a letter from True Drool:


What I really like about True Drool is that all of their treats are made in the USA or North America. That is a huge bonus considering the bad stuff that comes from China and other places.  True Drool also gives 10% back to rescues and non-profits, which is great because these organizations need all the help and support they can get!  In addition to giving back, they also make the customer feel special by allowing them to do a good deed by the "Paw-it-Forward" program. Here is what True Drool has to say:

GIVING=GOOD:

We pledge to give back 10% of our annual profits to RESCUE groups and SHELTERS in need.

PAW IT FORWARD

You can make a difference in the life of a rescue dog.

"With our Paw It Forward program, you can buy a box for a rescued dog. You purchase the box - we see that it goes home with a rescued dog as a "Welcome to your Forever Home" gift. You can simply add a Paw It Forward box to any transaction when you check out.
We adopted our dog Oslo from a rescue organization. In doing so, we found out how wonderful and selfless these people are. They not only saved our boy and hundreds of others, but they loved and cared for him until he found his Forever Home with us. These organizations run off of donations and, what money they don't raise, comes from the pockets of those foster families. So giving back only makes sense. 10% of our annual profits will go to help these organizations continue to operate. You can also make a direct difference by our Paw It Forward program. By purchasing/donating a Paw It Forward box, a Forever Home will have a True Drool box donated by you for their new family members. Sounds like a great way to welcome them home!"

Now for the individual items in the box, and Shadow's review of each one.
1. Crinkits

This item is a "Crinkit".  It is made to hold a 16.9 oz plastic bottle in which your dog can then roll around, squeeze, and make "crinkle" noises with. I was quite surprised at how this item smelled when I took it out of the box. It didn't have the normal "plastic" smell that I was expecting. Rather, it had a very pleasant "vanilla" type smell to it. I'm not sure if this is on purpose to entice your dog to play with it, or if it is just a random thing. Either way, this toy smells really good (the smell seems to last a little while).  Shadow did not seem interested in this toy. The bottle was placed in the toy (by the directions shown above), and then "crinkled" and rolled around to try and gain Shadow's attention. I think she sniffed it a couple of times, and that was that. I have tried to introduce her to it several other times by letting her sniff it, roll it around, and "crinkle" it slightly, but to no avail. I am starting to think that Shadow is more into the plush toys (so she can "de-fluff" them) and treats more than anything else. 

For those of you who have not read my other reviews, Shadow is my German Shepherd/Border Collie female mix. She is approximately 5-6 years of age, about 60ish or so pounds, and very playful/active.

2. Sojos Simply Lamb Dog Treats.


This is a 100% raw freeze-dried lamb product. It contains no preservatives. The one and only ingredient is 100% real lamb. This product is made in the USA. After a minute or two of sniffing this product, Shadow gingerly took a treat from my hand. She then discovered that this treat tastes delicious and kept coming back for more! I gave her 4-5 treats and then had to put the bag away, as I think she would have liked to finish the entire bag in one sitting!

3. Exclusively Dog - Cheesy Bacon Flavor bone shaped treat.


This product is made in the USA from natural ingredients, and is wheat, soy, and grain free! I like this treat because it is "filler free".  Shadow liked it because of the flavor. :) It was gone in a few minutes. 

4. "Texas Taffy" dog chew. 

This product is a natural beef jerky for dogs. The size of this jerky is good for both small and large dogs. The jerky has a natural texture to it. The only thing that I would mark off on this product is that it seemed on the thin side. Shadow enjoyed this treat as well and it lasted several minutes. 

5. Fruitables - Bio Active - Complete Joint Care. 



This product is made in the USA and contains Omega 3's and Glucosamine, which are great for maintaining healthy joints. The number #1 ingredient is chicken! I have to be honest, I was very happy to see this included in the True Drool box! Treats and toys are great, but preventatives and health conscious products are awesome too. ;)  Shadow has not sampled this product yet, as she has another item she is finishing up. I am sure she will love these with the ingredients that are listed. I am looking forward to her reaction. 

Should you find that your dog really enjoys the products in his/her box, you can always go to the "Limited Time products" and order the product a la carte! 

Shadow and I would like to thank Keith and True Drool for their time and generosity!




True Drool did not pay me to write this review. They did send me free products to sample and review.  This review is in no way biased, and all of the statements are 100% my own.
