Does your pet think he’s human?

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tender & True Pet Nutrition for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

As you know I recently shared with you some signs for figuring out if you are a pet parent. I also shared that Smokey recently tried Tender and True Pet Food and he loved it.  How do I know?  His tail is always wagging when it comes to meal time and he gobbles it up quickly!

So for those of us who are pet parents. How do you humanize your pet? Do you think that your pet starts to look like you?  I often hear that about pets.  I personally don’t think my Schnauzers look like me but I have heard that the longer you have a pet that they can look like the pet parent.

If your pets are like mine, they like to spend a lot of time with you.  My boys like to follow me around 24/7 and luckily for them I work from home so they can hang out with me all day long.  One of Rocky’s favorite things to do is to ride in the van.  He likes to go with me each morning to take Peyton to school and when I have other plans or errands to run after drop off and he can’t go, he gets upset with me. I sometimes take him and bring him home first.

We have two mini-schnauzers but they have completely different personalities.  One is really smart and the other “not so much”.  We lovingly refer to him as “the other brother”. He is so lovey and sweet but when it comes to being trained he beats to his own drum.

However, there is one thing that they both have in common and that is their love for Tender and True pet food.  I love it because it is the perfect “superfood” for my pets.  You know how much buzz that superfoods get online for people?  It is important to feed your pets these superfoods too. It is a simple way to show your pets how much you love them by feeding them the best pet food available. I decided to feed Rocky Tender and True and he loved it too!

Tender & True™ believes your pets deserve more from their pet food. I agree with them 100%.  Your pets deserve food that lives up to the same standards as the foods you eat. Tender & True™ has USDA certified organic varieties, free from fillers and corn and soy. With no antibiotics, no artificial preservatives, no artificial anything.  This is another way to show your pets how much they mean to you by serving them top quality feed.

They offer a balanced formula for all life stages.  I like that you don’t have to purchase a specific blend (there is no puppy blend, mature dog blend, etc). That is great when you have multiple dogs like we do.  It keeps meal time simple!

Tender & True™ believe your pet’s food should be a reflection of the love you share for your pet. All animal proteins in Tender & True are certified by the Global Animal Partnership (GAP) and are humanely raised in a reduced-stress environment without added hormones or antibiotics. This was great news for me!  I only feed my boys the best.

Each recipe of Tender & True Pet Food begins with only the best of premium ingredients, featuring U.S. farm raised Organic and Antibiotic-Free Poultry as well as Certified Sustainable Seafood. Most importantly they are Rocky and Smokey approved.  Be sure to Find Tender & True near you.

Which of these remind you of your pets?  Are they the little ones? The loud ones? The funny ones?  Or are they like Smokey?  (the trouble makers)
