PetHub Tags as Low as $3.25 (After Shipping)

Today is National Dog Day and PetHub is offering a great discount on QR code dog tags. The basic tag is on sale for $1 with the promotional code NATDOGDAY. With shipping, the cost is $3.25. The basic tag offers a QR code, website address, and toll free phone number. You can also use the promotional code to upgrade to any other tag or collar. NATDOGDAY will take $13.95 off any purchase on PetHub. This promotional code is only valid on August 26, 2014.

You are able to create a free profile for your pet and the web address on the tag leads directly to your page. You can include as much, or as little, information as you choose. Benny's profile includes my name and number along with his vet's information. The website also includes a link for people to send an email with GPS coordinates of where the tag was scanned. This helps you find your missing pet faster. For people that don't have a smart phone or don't understand QR codes, the phone number directs them to an 24/7 operator that has access to all your information.

Benny has an upgraded tag with was personalized with his name and my phone number. I prefer this because if Benny does get out and the person that finds him doesn't understand QR codes, they will still have my number. The QR code gives the added benefit of the profile and GPS location if the person knows how to scan it.

Almost Free PetHub QR Code Dog Tags

Benny and I love his PetHub dog tag. Having a QR code on his collar allows me to provide more information than just his phone number. If Benny ever gets lost (although it will hopefully never happen), the person that finds him can scan the QR code and find my address, his vet's name, allergies, and any other information I choose to share on Benny's profile page.

Benny wears the small aluminum tag. I used a pin to carve his name and phone number in the back just in case the person that finds him doesn't own a smart phone. Right now, you can get up to two free aluminum tags using the promotional code MEGAMATCH. You do need to pay for shipping which is why I titled my post "almost free" but it's still a great deal. The shipping prices change based on your location. For my address, shipping for one tag was $1.95 and two tags was $2.20. For that difference, I will be getting two tags so that I have a spare.

Himalayan Dog Chews and Free Sample of Yaky Yam

I took Benny to the Super Pet Expo in New Jersey. At the expo we saw the Himalayan Dog Chew display. Himalayan Dog Chews are extremely popular because they are a natural product that takes dogs a long time to break down. Almost every vendor at the expo had these chews on their displays.

Himalayan Dog Chew is a very hard chew. Although cheese, it is sometimes popularly reffered to as Concrete, Glass, Wood and Metal. Depending on the size and eating habits of the dog, this is a very long lasting dog chew that you can find. Dogs must work the end of the treat for hours, softening it with their mouths before small parts of it can be slowly scraped off. (Source: Himalayandogchew.com)

Normally sold in multipacks or as large chews (for bigger dogs), at the expo they offered a single small chew at a reasonable price to try. When I gave Benny the chew, he carried it with him all over the house but didn't even make a dent in it. I honestly don't know if he even tried to chew it yet or was just being possessive. At one point, I threw it off the couch and noticed it was cracking. So I tried to break it in half but even with the appearance of cracks this chew was too tough to break in half. Eventually I was able to break it in half after throwing it against the floor so I placed the broken off piece in the microwave for thirty seconds like they recommend. It was larger than the pieces they showed but I tried it anyway.

As soon as it was puffy and cooled, Benny went for it again. He was able to break off a piece and was chewing on it for a while but wasn't able to break much more off. Even puffed, it's still hard and will take a while for him to chew. Since they sell all different size pieces, I think the piece I bought was too big for his tiny mouth. Benny is afterall only fourteen pounds. Now that the original piece is smaller, Benny has been chewing at it more but I still haven't seen a dent in it.

While Himalayan Dog Chews can be expensive, you can often find them on DoggyLoot for a good price. In fact they are currently being offered. They are sold on Amazon, some local stores, and you can also look for deals directly from the manufacturer like I found at the expo.

You can also currently request a free sample of their other product, Yaky Yams, through the Himalayan Dog Chews Facebook page. Just click their cover photo for the special codes. Then enter the two codes on their website. You'll also be entered to win a trip to Nepa.

Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review. I purchased the Himalayan Dog Chew myself to share with my readers. All opinions are 100% mine.

$0.99 for Bully Sticks at PetFlow

I've mentioned before that Benny loves bully sticks, but they get expensive really fast. If you go to the local store, a six inch bully stick can cost as much as $5 each. Doggyloot often offers ten for $18 ($1.80 each).

PetFlow currently has an even better price if you buy in bulk. They are offering individual bully sticks for $0.99 each. Shipping is a flat rate of $4.95 for orders under $50 so you will have to pay shipping. If you purchase at least 14 bully sticks, the price will drop below the Doggyloot's price.

Up To Free $10 Credit on DoggyLoot

Have you joined DoggyLoot yet? I have and Benny loves all the great bully sticks he gets because of their low prices. DoogyLoot is a free daily deal site for, you guessed it, dogs. Each day they put new items on sale and the sales all last for a few days.

$18 (or Less) for 10 Bully Sticks from Doggyloot

Benny is obsessed with his bully sticks. They're a healthy alternative to rawhide and keep him busy for hours. The problem is these treats can be costly, ranging from $2.50 to $4 locally for a six inch stick.

Doggyloot understands this and wants to help you out. They have brought back a popular sale item. For the next six days, you can order 10 six inch bully sticks for only $18. That's $1.80 each which is already a great price. New to Doggyloot? You get a $5 credit to use on your first purchase which makes these bully sticks only $1.30 each ($13 total).
