| Boomer (l) and Mlli (r) lap it up! |
I stumbled across this site a few months ago, was intrigued (by the product and the clean look of the site) so I promptly ordered some for my darlings and a couple of gifts baskets for doggie friends of mine.
I didn't order much .. the stuff is expensive! On the website you can buy 12 cans for $36 - at least there is free shipping at that quantity. The two-can trial with travel bag was only $12 but I had to pay shipping to send them to my friends, so it wasn't much of a bargain.
The taste test? Mixed reviews:My friends' dogs turned up their little noses at the stuff, but mine lapped it up like there was no tomorrow.

Honestly, aside from a gorgeous red pop-top can and a few vitamins, there's not much to recommend Petrol fuel for dogs. Except that sometimes I want my little guys drinking extra liquid (like this summer during 105-degree days). And little Milli needs a lot of fluid to keep her damaged kidneys flushed out.

Petrol Fuel for Dogs isn't widely available yet, but I did see it at a local specialty pet store last week, so expect to hear lots more about it. The store was selling it for $3.85 a can, so it is cheaper to order it from the website if your dogs like it.
My verdict? I plan to keep a few cans on hand and use it sparingly. It's a good treat for a hot summer afternoon and I feel good about providing a little extra boost of nutrition.
