Our pup is a picky eater and we’ve spent a lot of time, money and worry on her diet. Rachael Ray products are such a great brand in every other category and we knew her dog food would be the same. Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Peak™ Wetlands Recipe™ with Chicken, Duck & Pheasant is not only tasty for her but has caused our dog to gain a bit of weight back that she had recently lost. She has never been a big eater but since we switched to Rachael Ray’s Nutrish Peak she now nudges me once her bowl is filled so she can devour it. PEAK is a protein-rich food for dogs with nutrient-dense meats.

Our pup Lexi always wants to play. She’s a German Shepard Chow Chow mix with lots of enthusiasm and personality. Thankfully we have a 4 year old daughter who is the same energy-wise and they are best friends. We love camping, hiking and playing at the park with them both. Right now I am pregnant so we’ve been doing walks any day the weather allows. My daughter rides her bike and Lexi and I jog behind.

Lexi and our daughter both have so much more energy and strength because of these regular walk/jogs and are always tired at bedtime. Staying active is incredibly important no matter your age or situation (or species). We make taking walks, visits to the park, hiking and camping part of our regular routine to keep active and learn about nature. One way we’re able to keep our dog’s energy up with all this activity is to have a dog food she enjoys and has nutritious ingredients.

Three Ways to Make Being Active Part of Your Routine

1. Family Walks – As the days get longer in the Midwest we will be doing more walks as a family after dinner. For now, my daughter, dog and I go for walks before Daddy gets home. This is a great way to start our habit before the baby comes.
2. Weekend Hikes – We are so very lucky to have beautiful parks all over Indiana. Each of us likes being outside and we hit the trails for fun on the weekends whenever possible. Even better if we find a creek to stomp in!
3. Camping Trips – Our family makes it a point to schedule camp sites with lots of trails several times throughout the year. We have a camper so booking ahead is key but it allows for inexpensive family mini-vacations that makes us all happy.

We added Lexi to our family in 2010 after finding her at the Humane Society. As many others have said, we didn’t save her, she saved us. She is always there for us when we need love or a snuggle and makes us happy every day. We always encourage others to shop at a shelter or rescue for their pets. This is also a big reason why I decided to purchase Nutrish Peak for Lexi.

A portion of proceeds from each sale of Nutrish is donated to The Rachael Ray Foundation, which helps animals in need. Through December 2017, more than $23.5 million dollars have been donated to animal charities and other organizations that do good for animals. The funds are used for food, medical supplies, treatments, and more. Many more animals around the country need help, and through The Rachael Ray Foundation, together we can make a real difference in the lives of many four-legged friends. Check out the Nutrish PEAK website for more information and where to buy this wholesome and delicious product for your dog!

We love that Nutrish PEAK dry food for dogs contains 30% high-quality protein and 0% grains, glutens or fillers. If your pup likes wet food, every Nutrish PEAK wet food recipe is made with real chicken, combined with protein–rich duck, beef or lamb for a flavor your dog will love. I purchased Nutrish PEAK at PetSmart and used this coupon for additional savings! PetSmart had Rachel Ray’s pet line in the center aisle as soon as I walked in as well as in the Natural Food section of the dog food aisle. Let me know some activities you like to include to make being active part of your routine!
