<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Neoh & Nobo are a small and very dedicated
team of conscious dog owners who produce handmade dog treats derived from
natural sources! If you’re a regular reader of our social media posts then
you’ll know that we do love our natural and organic handmade dog treats! While Neoh
& Nobo officially launched on the 1</span><sup style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">st</sup><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> May 2017, we were lucky
enough to nab a sneak preview of all the goodies soon to be on offer, and even
tried some too earlier in April! Read our review below on our thoughts of this
new and upcoming company!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">The packaging is simplistic, yet effective and
contains all the information a dog owner could wish for: ingredients,
nutritional benefits, feeding guidelines and how to store upon opening.
Although these treats can last up to 4 weeks if kept sealed in a cool, dry
place, once they’re open, we don’t think the treats will last too long though
since they’re so yummy!</span><br />

friendly which shows that their commitment to sustainability goes above and
beyond the ingredients used in their treats. All their packaging is either recyclable
or reusable and they even encourage their customers to protect the environment
too with their packaging recycling incentive. When visiting Neoh & Nobo at
a trade show simply bring along your old treat packaging and you can enjoy a
lovely 10% discount at their stall! We think this is a fabulous idea! </span><br />

offer biscuits and butters in four wonderful flavours for your canine
companions to enjoy. These include: Peanut Butter, Banana X Turmeric, Butternut
X Vanilla Bean and Papaya X Pumpkin Seed. We received a box of Banana X
Turmeric treats in the mail for Louie to try. These specific biscuits
contained: banana, turmeric, spirulina, ginger, flaxseed, buckwheat flour,
coconut flour, molasses and coconut oil, all of which are combined to help
support the normal function of the digestive system.<b> </b>Since Louie is becoming an old boy now, I am specifically drawn to
treats which possess health benefits, are organic and are made using natural
ingredients. Neoh & Nobo were therefore right up my street!</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Louie’s Banana X Turmeric dog biscuits went down
a treat and were thoroughly enjoyed, perhaps enjoyed a little too much since he
was begging keenly and relentlessly for more! Neoh & Nobo recommend that
you feed up to 2 treats a day depending on the size and activity of the dog.</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16px;">Overall, Neoh & Nobo are a real asset to the canine community and provide owners with natural, organic and environmentally friendly treats for our companions to enjoy without all the nasty artificial additives seen in a lot of dog treats currently on the market. Big paws up from us Neoh & Nobo! Keep up the good work!<br /><br /><b>Head over to Neoh & Nobo's <a href="https://www.neohandnobo.com/" target="_blank">website</a> now and make a purchase or two, I promise you won't regret it!

Each year, many lost dogs are taken to shelters due to having no I.D tags attached to their collars or a microchip. Unfortunately, many of these dogs are never reunited with their owners.<br />

There are many different companies out there that produce I.D tags but one company in particular caught my eye on Instagram recently - <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SimplyHandmadeTags?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_reviews" target="_blank">Simply Handmade Tags</a>. Simply Handmade Tags is based on <a href="http://etsy.com/">Etsy.com</a> and offer beautiful handmade tags in various different designs. Louie is a lucky pup and was kindly sent the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/398437877/rustic-copper-washer-style-pet-tag?ref=shop_home_feat_1" target="_blank">Rustic Copper Washer Style tag</a> to review recently.<br />
<br />
Our tag was beautifully wrapped and presented when it arrived through our letterbox - it's always nice to see pet companies that take pride in the presentation of their products, it really shows how much they care about their customers! Not only do these tags help protect your pet from being lost and ending up in the wrong hands but they look lovely too - bonus!<br /><br />

Slumbering Hound was created by the lovely Dee Stringer and is a wonderful company that produce the most beautiful handmade products! We originally stumbled across them on Twitter and were dying to give one of their products a try! They offer personalised products too!<br />
<br />
Recently, Louie was kindly sent one of Slumbering Hound's Snuggle Sacks to try and review. Our first thoughts were regarding the packaging and how beautifully presented our delivery was. We loved the paw print tissue paper our Snuggle Sack was neatly wrapped in, it was a lovely touch that shows the true love and care put into each one of Slumbering Hound's products.<br />

The Snuggle Sack is so very soft! Once Louie was inside it, he didn't want to get out, and I don't blame him! I was very jealous of Louie snuggled up inside his sack, he looked so warm and cosy, I wanted a Snuggle Sack for myself! Along with our amazing Snuggle Sack, Dee kindly sent Louie a toy to play with - what a lucky boy!<br />
<br />
Overall we were overjoyed with our Snuggle Sack, Louie absolutely loved it which put the biggest smile on my face! This particular product by Slumbering Hound is truly wonderful, amazing quality and words cannot describe how soft it feels! Brilliant stuff Slumbering Hound!<br />

So, apparently I have a little obsession with buying Louie collars, but...you can never have too many dog collars can you?! Louie has collars of various colours (mostly from Pets at Home), but nothing as fancy and vibrant as the ones created by the lovely Ellie at Boots & Bones.<br />
<br />
Recently, we were sent the Turquoise Tribal Collar to try and review which we were very excited about! This particular collar is a festival inspired piece and is part of the Summer collection at Boots & Bones. As you can see, it's a very eye-catching design and is made from strong polypropylene webbing and unique grosgrain ribbon - looks good and durable too, bonus!<br />
<br />
Boots & Bones have various designs ranging from skulls to rainbows and you can even buy leads to match. A design we particularly like is the <a href="http://www.bootsandbones.co.uk/product/sunflower-dog-collar/" target="_blank">Sunflower Dog Collar</a>. With all this rain England are having right now, this design is guaranteed to brighten up yours and your pooch's day!<br />

<i>Louie and I stumbled across a brilliant company recently who bake some of the yummiest dog biscuits ever - and we can't wait to share our discovery with you!</i></div>
<br />
Introducing...Wellybix! Based in Teesdale, Wellybix is a fantastic company that produces wonderful handmade biscuits for our canine companions that are jam-packed with natural goodness! The company is run by Alison Dalton and her adorable Jack Russell Welly who is chief taste tester, lucky pup! Alison takes pride in using ingredients that are of 'human grade quality' and even uses herbs from her own garden!<br />

Recently, Wellybix kindly sent us four flavours of handmade biscuits to try: Carrot, Lamb, Beef and Peanut Butter. Our first thoughts were that we loved the packaging, a simple white paper bag - it reflects the freshness of the products contained and the simplicity of the ingredients used. Wellybix contains no hidden nasties and they smell good enough even for a human to eat - I must admit, I did consider it! On the back of the nicely designed label there is nutritional information and the expiry date, very useful information to have! We particularly like how each delicious flavour has a different colour label - Wellybix gets a big paws up from us regarding their packaging and design!<br />

My very own taste tester Louie thoroughly enjoyed his Wellybix dog biscuits and loved every mouthful, particularly the Peanut Butter flavour! Each treat is bone shaped and although they're biscuits they are fairly easy to break in half. Wellybix tick all the boxes for a perfect treat for man's (and woman's) best friend - hand baked dog treats made with no artificial preservatives, colours, flavour enhancers, salt or sugar, and they're delicious (well, that's what Louie told me)!<br />
<br />
As well as hand baked dog biscuits, Wellybix also sell a range of bathtime products, blankets and greeting cards too. You can even bake your own treats with their 'Bake-a-Bone' range - there is just so much to like about this company! Head over to their <a href="http://www.wellybix.co.uk/" target="_blank">website</a> for more information on Wellybix and the products they sell. We highly recommend giving their dog biscuits in particular a try!<br />

<i>For a while now, I've been searching for some natural dog treats that aren't full of additives, artificial colours and flavours for my 11 year old Spaniel Louie. Since joining the online dog community, we've found a huge number of companies that produce and sell natural dog treats made with our canine companion's health in mind. <a href="http://www.oliveslarder.co.uk/" target="_blank">Olive's Larder</a> is one of them!</i></div>

Olive's Larder is an independent family run business based in Southampton that supplies healthy, natural and unprocessed dog biscuits, as well as doggy accessories and natural eco toys. Olive's Larder try to use as many organic ingredients as possible in order to leave out all those nasty additives and preservatives found in many other dog treats.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Recently, the lovely team at Olive's Larder kindly sent some wheat and gluten free, Duck & Sweet Potato flavoured artisan dog treats for Louie to taste test! What a horrible job Louie has right?! There's quite a variety of other flavours in this range, including: Chicken & Thyme, Carrot, Courgette & Mint, Beef & Rosemary and Turkey & Apple - all of which sound very yummy!</div>
<br />
Once opened, these treats only last around a week so they need to be gobbled up quickly! While this may be considered a downside to these treats, it actually shows just how fresh the ingredients are which we think is great - no hidden nasties here!<br />
<br />
Louie can be fussy with treats, it's not unusual for him to turn his nose up at treats and biscuits. On this occasion, he couldn't get enough of his Duck & Sweet Potato treats! He could've eaten the whole packet if I'd let him! The treats can be easily broken and are fairly soft so would be suitable for any size dog. Louie's best friend Tilly May the Yorkshire Terrier had a try and even with a large amount of teeth removed happily munched them up!<br />

</blockquote>
Overall, we love Olive's Larder and their artisan dog treats! They're nicely packaged, fresh, natural and reasonably priced - £2.99 for a 75g box or £3.99 for a 150g pouch. While these aren't the cheapest of treats, these biscuits are made from 100% natural ingredients so they're worth every penny!<br />
<br />
Delivery is £3.50 (UK mainland only) or free on purchases over £30. If you're around the Southampton area, you can also collect your purchases from Teacups & Tutus or Botley Mills for free - so the money you're saving on postage you can use to buy extra treats!

Guru was founded by pet parents Lisa and Andrew who originally set out to find a healthy but convenient alternative to home cooking. After many months of research, they discovered cold pressed food and all its benefits for our canine companions.</div>
<br />
Cold pressed food is a method in which ensures that the ingredients used retain all of their flavour, aroma, vitamins and nutritional value. Guru comes in bite-size pieces, suitable for any size dog, even puppies - isn't that great?!<br />
<br />
You can grab a sample of Guru's 'Surf and Turf'' cold pressed dog food on their <a href="http://www.gurupetfood.com/">website</a>. We highly recommend you give it a try! While Guru Pet Food isn't the cheapest and ranges from £24 for a 5kg bag to £48 for a 14kg bag, when it comes to your dog's food, the cheapest isn't always best! Guru is jam packed with nutritional ingredients, it's worth the money and your pooch will definitely thank you for it!<br /><br />

The geeks of Guru are fantastic in what they do and were even kind enough to send Louie two Field Trip bones, which he enjoyed immensely! While the Field Trip bone is a delicious and mouth-watering treat, it can also be used a complete meal on-the-go (for a 4kg dog) - cool right?!<br />
<br />

</div>
<div>
Field Trip bones can be purchased on <a href="http://www.gurupetfood.com/" target="_blank">Guru's website</a>, two for £1.99 which is an absolute bargain! As well as the Field Trip bones, you can also purchase a larger Road Trip bone for £2.50, suitable for larger dogs (10kg). With the summer fast approaching, Louie and I will definitely be stocking up on Field Trip bones ready for all the adventures we have planned!<br />

1. Louie is an English Springer Spaniel and was born on the 1st September 2004.<br />
<br />
2. He was an absolute nightmare at dog training and agility. He HATED our trainer and our trainer hated him! During our agility classes he would hide in the collapsible tunnels. Everyone found him entertaining but our trainer?...not so much!<br />
<br />
3. He has competed in the Race for Life 4 times, raising money for Cancer Research.<br />
<br />
4. He has competed in various fun dog shows around East Sussex and enjoys them very much! Flopping down on his back for belly tickles when the judge comes around to see him is his favourite part!<br />
<br />
5. He HATES squirrels and pigeons! A park walk is never complete without screaming, whining and barking like crazy at the dozens of poor and innocent wildlife creatures we come across. Funnily enough, he doesn't mind seagulls or ducks though!<br /><br />6. Louie was trick trained at an early age and even at the age of 11 is still learning more!<br />
