The Dog Days Of Winter

Your dog has spent the past few weeks living one of two lives.

LIFE 1: Your dog has been shut away, shushed, and generally forgotten. It started on Thanksgiving, when your family hosted a big meal and your dog had to be sequestered to the dank basement to keep the chaos to a minimum, or maybe to appease some canine-phobic aunt or uncle. Or worse: maybe poor Fido was imprisoned within his own house because said aunt or uncle is not canine-phobic, but, in fact, is a canine lover. Except, their love extends only to their own canine friend who they refuse to leave home, and who spent the duration of the holiday sitting on their lap or yapping obnoxiously. And yes, Thanksgiving was only one day, and your dog was eventually set free from their basement exile, but even then they did not receive the appropriate level of attention as you hustled to meet all the holiday potluck/concert/bake sale requirements. Then, come Christmas, they enjoyed a nice long weekend in a kennel while you lived it up with your extended family.

LIFE 2: Your dog was not shut away, but rather, was given full reign from Thanksgiving straight through to Christmas, going unnoticed as they hoovered up whatever happened to fall off a plate or a tray and then taking whatever scrap you provided them at the end of the day without a second thought. As such, they’ve consumed a month-long smorgasbord of foods that tax even the most diligent of human digestive systems, and have been fogging your house, filling the rooms with a cloud invisible to the eye but not to the nose.

In the case of the first scenario: your dog deserves a treat. So you should buy them some. Like these.

In the case of the second scenario: your dog should probably get reacquainted with food and treats that are actually for dogs, lest you want to spend your winter burning incense and struggling to breath. So you should buy them some. Like these.

Basically, they’re crunchy dog treats that get strong reviews on Amazon where they usually sell for about $56-$70 for a 4-pack. And we’re selling them for just $19.99.

So get some for your dog, whether they could use a treat or need to come down from a tryptophan high.
