Today I have my first dog product review with Pinky and Xiomy. By the way, today is Xiomy’s first birthday! I can’t believe how much she has grown.
An Orapup (c/o) is a tongue cleaner for dogs. Since it is almost impossible to brush Pinky’s teeth, I think this is the only oral health product he will be able to use. Check out how Pinky and Xiomy reacted to the Orapup in the video below.
Now, for more detailed thoughts on the Orapup.
The soft bristles on the Orapup are what actually cleans the dogs breath. When the lick the Orapup they are actually scrubbing their tongue, thus getting rid of a build up of bacteria that can be stored there.
I think the ingredients of the juice for the Orabrush is a little ambiguous. I wish they had a little more detail then “flavors” but at least the other ingredients aren’t scary. The Lickies are supposed to help with plaque as well as encourage your dogs to lick the Orapup. I assume it has something to do with stimulating more saliva in the mouth to help wash away plaque.
I’ve been using the Orabrush on my two dogs once a day for three consecutive days so far and haven’t noticed a difference in their breath yet. However, I don’t generally go around smelling my dogs breath every few hours so I can’t comment much on that. I do believe that the product is working though, despite not being able to smell the difference. I use an Orabrush (c/o, a tongue cleaner for the human variety) and see a difference in the color of my tongue so I believe that bacteria is actually being taken away from my dogs breath.
Also, Pinky and Xiomy seem excited about it. Xiomy actually tried to steal hers and use it as a toy so the fact that an oral hygiene product is fun for them makes me happy.
That is our review of the Orapup! You can pre-order your Orapup at orapup.com/rebeccakelsey. When you order one Orapup you get two Orabrushes for human’s as well. It costs $20 for an Orapup, one 30-day supply of Lickies, and two Orabrushes. That’s a pretty good value!
Thank you Orapup for sponsoring this honest review! The money generated from this post and video went straight into Chris and I‘s home savings. See my disclaimer’s page for more info on how sponsored opportunities are paid.
Do your dogs let you brush their teeth? Would you consider an Orapup? Let me know in the comments!
I believe that passing on wedding rings is like passing on love. Imagining that these objects absorb the love around them makes me incredibly happy. I have just always been incredibly passionate about the idea of saving my precious jewelry for my daughters or granddaughters. Above is my late Abuela’s wedding ring. When Chris and I finally tie the knot (hopefully sometime next year), it will be mine. You can see more views of this ring in this episode of The Rebecca & Chris Show.
Right now the ring is incredibly large on my finger so I’ll have to bring it in to be sized before I can wear it. I’m a little nervous about getting it sized and something bad happening to it because I’ve never seen a ring with this design before. It’s really interesting that it has both circle and square shaped diamonds.
You don’t see that kind of setting too often. This ring was made in Cuba and traveled to America when my Mom was really young (in the 1970s). I don’t have the date that my late Abuela got married but her first child was born in 1951 so this ring has been through many years.
For good measure, above is my Mother’s engagement ring and wedding ring. I’m currently using her engagement ring. After I get married I don’t plain on wearing it anymore since Abuela’s ring is so massive. They just don’t look right with each other. We’re not sure yet if we’ll pass Mom’s wedding ring set to our daughters or to my sister Amanda when it’s her time to get married.
Fun fact, I wore my Mom’s wedding ring all throughout high school! My parents divorced when I was really young.
When I think about what ring I would have chosen if I didn’t have my Abuela’s, I feel conflicted. Part of me wants a stand out vintage inspired ring (like the Hayley diamond ring, it’s technically an engagement ring but I’d wear it as a wedding ring) but then another part of me wants something more understated like my Mom’s. It’s so hard to decide. It’s surprising how many different kinds of wedding rings there are. According to this wedding ring guide from Samara James there is a lot of different cuts to consider as well as the diamond’s clarity.
