While "The Dog Days of Summer" haven't descended upon us quite yet, the impending hot weather and long days are all too exciting for this summer-loving family. Some people just despise heat and while I can respect that, I just don't get it.

I love spending time outdoors with my husband and my dogs, just enjoying nature and all the beauty it has to offer. We all love to spend all day outdoors during the summer; soaking up the sun at the dog beach, running around the trails, or just having a barbecue together! They're our little best friends, so taking them with us on our adventures sometimes is a must!

Luckily, it's warming up so the first barbecue of the season officially took place this weekend! We celebrated in style, making delicious Hawaiian burgers for my husband and I.

Since we didn't want the dogs to feel left out, we served up treats fit for kings (and queens)! The NEW, Doggy Taste-Tested & Approved Nudges® Grillers & Sizzlers are our dogs new favorite treats for life!

My dogs are pretty obsessed with treats in general, but Nudges® Dog Treats are just different, in a good way. Gnarly, my rambunctious but usually respectful of boundaries little poodle, decided to steal the treats off the table while we were preparing the BBQ. I guess you could say he likes them, more than a little bit.

He'll be happy to find out, Nudges® Grillers & Sizzlers come in several different flavors so his appetite will always be satiated! With the Grillers offered in Chicken and Steak flavors and the Sizzlers offered in Chicken Bacon and Beef & Cheese flavors, I think Gnarly and Pow will have a tough time deciding on a favorite from the bunch!

I'm just happy knowing my dogs nutritional needs are being met with real meat, since it's the #1 ingredient! We feed ourselves only real foods, I feel they deserve the same. So the fact that they also include no artificial fillers or flavors is a huge bonus in my book!

Giving my dogs something natural (that they love) is an awesome way to feel like I'm really spoiling them, but in all reality they are getting a part of their diet they need! They deserve the best, since they're our best friends after all. I'd love to hear how you spoil your furry best friends! Do you love to treat your pups to something special? How do you plan to spend the dog days of summer?
