Why We Love Sam's Yams Dog Chews | Special Birthday Giveaway

First of all, I have to start by saying Happy Birthday to a very special doggy - Shiner! She is officially 11 years old today. It's hard to believe that she's 11 now, but I guess time flies. I have already been calling her 11 anyways. This birthday is an estimate that I made when she was found as a puppy. I decided that March 3rd would be her "birthday" when I first got her, and so it has been ever since then.

So how is Shiner celebrating her special day? Well, the nice folks over at Front Porch Pets sent her their full line of Sam's Yams products! And if you keep reading, you can learn how to win the same for your own dog.

Front Porch Pets, the makers of Sams Yam's, is a company that is dedicated to providing dogs with a delicious alternative to commercial dog chews and treats. The ingredients in these treats are simple. There is nothing artificial, no sweeteners, colors, or processed food items.


Their variety of sweet potato dog chews are made in the USA from human grade sweet potatoes. There is only one ingredient - "Sweet Potato". How awesome is that? So what makes Sam's Yams unique if it's just a sweet potato?

Veggie Rawhide

The answer is their dehydration process. The chews are dehydrated in a way so that they resemble the texture of a rawhide chew. I know many dog parents are apprehensive about giving their dog rawhide chews and I think that Sam's Yams are the perfect alternative for them. The texture is not quite crunchy and very chewy. They are still hard, but easy to bend and perfect for chewing on. And they are thick! Shiner loves these chews!

Check out all of the drool action going on!

There are a variety of Sam's Yams Sweet Potato Chews for dogs of all kinds. Here is a list of all of them:

• Bichon Fries - Good chew for smaller sized dogs. Or can be given as a treat to larger dogs. 
• Veggie Rawhide - Perfect for dogs of all sizes!
• Big Boyz - Shiner's personal favorite! Designed for larger breed dogs, but all dogs would enjoy them.

Sam's Yams Calmly Chamomile

There are also "Calmly Chamomile" dog chews. These chews really piqued my interest. They smell divine! I loved the smell so much I couldn't stop myself from having a nibble. And they were very tasty. These chews are cut into the cute shape of a dog bone and soaked in Chamomile, which is said to have calming properties. Shiner loves these treats too. 

Have a dog that's not into sweet potatos? Front Porch Pets also makes some very tasty Cookies with a wide variety of flavors. All of Sam's Yams Cookies are grain-free and gluten-free. 

• Green & Clean 
• Berry Yammy
• Hoppin' Good Carrot Crunchies
• Cranapple Orange Crunchers
• Pumpkin Cruncher

Sam's Yams Cranapple Orange Crunchers

The Sam's Yams Cookies have more ingredients than just sweet potato in them, but the ingredient list is still very limited and healthy for your dog. Shiner really enjoyed the Cranapple Orange Crunchers which have Sweet Potato, Apples, Water, Cranberries, and Oranges in them. And that's it!

Guess who else loves these treats? Nibblet, our pet rat, has really been loving the Sam's Yams Cookies. She couldn't be left out of the pawty today.

Gimme that nom!

It's easy to see why we love Sam's Yams. They're made in the USA, support American family farms, have a 100% money back guarantee, make limited ingredient healthy treats for dogs, and the dog loves the way they taste! I love the fact that the Sweet Potato Chews are a healthy and safe alternative to traditional rawhide chews.
