Neoh & Nobo

Firstly this review needs to begin with a BIG apology. 

Neon & Nobo (and a few other brands) kindly sent us some goodies for review. Unfortunately mum had a fracture just after they were sent and then went to see her surgeon who has put her on the waiting list for her femur operation, so we have spent lots of time at the hospital. That coupled with having a new adapted car, and Lottie having a lump on her tail has meant mummy has been rushed off her wheels! We are slowing getting round to them though! 

Anyway back to the review. 

We were so excited to discover we were one of the first doggie blogger to receive the brand new treats from Neoh & Nobo.

Wellybix Dog Biscuits Review - Malted Milk with Oats

We have reviewed one of Wellybix products before when we were sent the Bake-A-Bone to review, however the lovely Alison kindly sent us a new line of their biscuits for Lottie to taste test. 


Now when it comes to biscuits, Lottie is their straight away. What dog doesn't love a good biscuit. However, you can get biscuits and then you can get good quality biscuits and thats exactly what Wellybix biscuits are. 

Who are Wellybix? 

Wellybix are a UK company based in Teeside. The company, who is run by Alison, and of course chief taste tester Welly the Jack Russell. They sell a range of handmade dog biscuits, their Bake A Bone boxes as well as a range of accessories all dogs need. All of her biscuits are homemade, and some of the ingredients even come from her own garden. All the ingredients contain no artificial colours, preservatives or flavour enhancers and have been approved by a veterinary laboratory. 
What did we receive? 

Wellybix currently have 11 different flavours of dog biscuits for you to purchase, so there is sure to be a flavour to suit your dogs taste buds. 

Their newest flavour is Malted Milk with Oats which is what we were kindly sent. 

Each bag of biscuits contains 110g and are currently priced at £3.55 so they are great value for money. 

They are handmade with simply ingredients - Wholemeal and plain flour, rolled oats, wheatgerm, malted milk, honey, skimmed milk powder, sunflower oil, water. 


The biscuits are fairly large so are great for all breeds of dog, for smaller dogs like Lottie I simply break them in half, meaning you get even more for your money. 

As soon as you open the packet you can really tell they are Malted Milk (they even smell like malted milk biscuit! Yum). 

What the taste tester thought? 

As soon as we received the package from the postman Lottie could not wait to open it. 

She was not best pleased when I had to stop her taste testing them to take some blog photos (the life of a pet blogger hey). 

Once she finally got her taste buds on them, she loved them. Lottie can be a little fussy at times but she took to these straight away and in fact wanted more. Greedy guts! 

Lottie would highly recommend these hand baked dog biscuits and gives them a 5 out 5 in her paw rating. As for her human she also give them a 5 out of 5 rating, sometimes it's great when Lottie loves a product but then you find its full of the nasties, where as with these I know she loves them and I know they are great quality at the same time, that a winner in our book! 
You can sniff Wellybix out of social media and their website as below:

Wellybix | Bake A Bone Review

Now if you are anything like me, you just love when the Great British Bake Off starts on the TV again. So when Wellybix said about reviewing their Bake a Bone range we just had to say yes. 

Who are Wellybix? 


Wellybix are a UK company based in Teeside. The company, who is run by Alison, and of course chief taste tester Welly the Jack Russell. They sell a range of handmade dog biscuits, their Bake A Bone boxes as well as a range of accessories all dogs need. All of her biscuits are homemade, and some of the ingredients even come from her own garden. All the ingredients contain no artificial colours, preservatives or flavour enhancers and have been approved by a veterinary laboratory. 

What did we receive? 

To tie in with the Bake Off, we really wanted to try out their Bake A Bone range. I always find it really fun baking for Lottie, as I'm not a keen baker having all the dry ingredients needed, really made things easier. 


The idea is that by having the dry ingredients (flour, oats etc) all you have to do is add the wet ingredients which in this case is egg (and water if needed). 

We received their Bake A Bone box, in the Cranberry with Oat and Thyme variety. They also two other varieties which you can check out here

In each box you receive two bags of the dry ingredients and a bone shaped cutter, along with full instructions. 

The instructions are as follows - 
  • Take 1 pack of dry ingredients and stir in 2 whisked eggs - add a little water if needed
  • Mix together to form a dough and roll out onto a floured surface to around 5mm thickness
  • Cut out with cutter provided and place on a lined baking tray
  • Bake in the oven at (160c/140c fan) or gas mark 3 for around 20 minutes, turn carefully over and bake for a further 10 minutes. 
  • Take out of the oven and allow to cool before storing in an airtight container. 
As you can see from the instructions they are really easy to follow and carry out. We managed them with very little problem (apart from adding a little too much water, but that was soon rectified by adding some flour). See our video below, for the full process.



What did we think? 

If you have watched the video above, you will know we loved them! They were super easy to make, and made our kitchen smell divine. Its great to be able to see the ingredients list in the dough. I was also really impressed by the amount of biscuits the dough made, I managed to get around 54 which is great value for the price. Ok, they may be a little more expensive than shop brought biscuits, but at least you know what is in them and we had great fun making them, much better than driving to the shop. 

Lottie defintely gives them a 5 paw rating in her taste test. She just kept begging for more! Ive made her biscuits in the past and she just wouldn't touch them, so clearly these must be very tasty. 

Wellybix are also on social media so be sure to check them out below:

Yummy Treats and Chews | Green and Wilds Product Review.

Food, I just can't get enough of the stuff what doggy doesn't love something yummy! Therefore I was really exicted to receive some new yummy treats and chews for me to review from the newly named Green and Wilds. What dog doesn't love receiving present.

Who are Green and Wilds?
You may have noticed their new name popping up on their online shop and labels? With lots of great new natural products coming along, they wanted a name to embrace this, the old "Antler Dog Chews" name just didn’t cut the mustard! So they changed it. We say what a great idea and much prefer their new name, it definitely makes the products sound more natural. Green and Wilds is an independent business that supplies healthy, natural, unprocessed, completely sustainable dog chews, hand baked luxury dog biscuits and natural eco toys. The company is based on solid ideological beliefs, run on ethical principles by ethical and caring people. They are committed to looking after our planet and living in a world where we treat others as we would like to be treated. They produce chews from whole antlers, naturally shed from healthy, free ranging deer and hold large stocks so no animal are ever harmed for the chews. All their chews are free from chemicals, preservatives, colouring and additives, just pure and natural as nature intended.
The goodies we recieved.
We really are not keen on rawhide in this house so are always looking a tasty alternative. Hence we have brought many antler chews before. We haven't however tried there brand new range of baked treats. Training is such a big part of mine and Lottie life we are always on the look on for some new training treat, luckily for us they sent us a box of their brand new Salmon and Kelp Training Treats as well as some Carrot and Apple bakes, a medium original antler and a fallow strip. I was one very lucky dog! Firstly the baked treats, they are all wheat, preservative and artificial flavour free, and have no added salt and sugar. Only natural ingredients are used. They come in two varieties which are both avabibale in two sizes small as training treats and a larger size as a dog biscuit. They both come in two flavours, Apple and Carrot and Salomn and Kepl.
Antler Bakes Dog Biscuit , Apple and Carrot (£3.29) - these wholesome biscuit are baked in the UK with love and are free from all the nasties, NO shameful flavourings, flavour sprays or preservatives, no artificial colourings, sugar or salt added just wholesome ingredients that dogs love. So not only do they taste great they are also great for your dogs health. They contain the famous Green and Wilds ground antler powder as well as a great mix of other naturals ingredients including carrots, apple, parsley, rosemary, garlic these have a range of health benefits including improving your dogs circulation and metabolism as well as reducing cholesterol. They are also high in minerals and nutrients which can help strengthen bone structure, muscles and joints, maintain healthy cells aiding the immune system as well as helping to prevent inflammation from arthritic conditions. After a ruff day give your friend a treat, you know they're woof it!

Crunchy Baked Training Treats, Salomn and Kelp (£2.79) - it's not just the dog biscuits that have all those added health benefits these great sized training treats do too. Containing carrots which is a great source of vitamins A and E which are great for healthy skin they are sure to keep your dogs coat looking great. They also contain salmon, kelp, flax seed and rosemary. As a result these training treats can help bad breath, are high in fibre and are a excellent source of Omega 3 and 6 fish oils. If your going to use clicker training to train your dog why not treat them with the healthiest training treats around.
Essentials Antler Dog Chew, small (£6.59) - These chews are 100% natural, long lasting, are fantastic for teeth and full of great minerals for good health. Vets recommend them and dogs just love them, finding them exciting and irresistible. Being a totally natural product, it's free from additives, colours and preservatives, it's hypoallergenic, low odour and non-sticky too! All chews are hand washed and cut and then sand finished on all edges. Size - medium is suitable for medium sized breeds from Cocker Spaniels to Border Terriers. It will be around 11cm long, depending on circumference and density of the antler. Other sizes available include medium, large and x large.
Fallow Antler Dog Chew (£5.08) - These softer superior antler chews are great for older puppies and softer chewers (Particulary breeds such as Westie's who tend to be soft chewers). These chews have the same added benefits as the original antler chew as they contain a number of good minerals and are long lasting. All their Antler chews are from naturally shed/dropped, sustainable, free ranging, deer antler, 100% guaranteed.
  • Verdict and Where to Buy.
Two main focuses in our household are training and weight, both of which are not a problem with these great products. They are high value so Lottie will work extra hard in training as well as been low in fat. We also says a BIG no no to rawhide so are always on the look out for a tasty alternative that aren't high in fat, both chews are an ideal alternative to the dreaded sloppy rawhide. The training treats and biscuits Lottie's loves. The apple and carrot dog biscuits smell extra yummy and are almost good enough for me to eat (although I did resist, I don't think Lottie would of been to impressed). We find a lot of high value treats often leave a lot to be desired in there ingredients but as these are all 100% natural we love them!
Lottie gives all the goodies that were provided a big 5 out of 5 woofs, they are also at a great low price and for the biscuit and training treats offer a variety of four boxes for the great price of £11.99 what more could you possible ask for! All of the great goodies are available on Green and Wilds website and they offer free delivery for orders over £39. They also sell to trade so you may find them in your local pet store, vets and farmers market and all manners of traders.
