If you and your pup are anything like us, food is one of the things in life that bring you joy. We love trying different foods and flavors, so why shouldn't we introduce this spice into the lives of our pets? With Shake It Pup, now you can! 

After Shake It Pup struck an $800,000 deal with Texas billionaire Mark Cuban on NBC's Shark Tank earlier this year, we knew we had to try to hype ourselves. 

Shake It Pup dog food seasonings are gourmet seasonings sold directly from the Shake It Pup website, or through the website of their parent company Snap Wag, a gourmet dog food manufacturer. 

We ordered two Shake It Pup seasonings — a bone and joint blend, and "Barkin' BBQ." The seasonings tout human-grade ingredients. Depending on the weight of your pet, you simply add 1-2 teaspoons of seasoning to the top of their food they eat every day.

Seasonings sell for $12.99 each and come in 3.5 or 4.5 ounce bottles depending on the flavor. At the time of publication, Shake It Pup is running at buy three get one free sale and offers free shipping on orders over $35. 

Our resident review dog Riley, a spunky 9-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, did the first tasting honors. We ordered the Bone and Joint formula specifically for Riley because, like a typical Cavalier, he experiences some joint issues.  

Riley devoured the food topped with Shake It Pup faster than he typically eats his everyday canned food. He enjoyed both of the seasoning flavors, there didn't seem to be a clear winner. But since these seasonings are made from human-grade ingredients, you know we had to try them too. 

The "Barkin' BBQ" flavor was powdery and tasted like chicken, which makes sense, as three of the ingredients are chicken, chicken bone broth and chicken liver (also lentils). The flavoring wasn't strong enough to want to use it in human cooking, but it's obvious that it's enough to spice up your pup's life. Shake It Pup's Bone and Joint seasoning tasted strongly like chicken and turmeric with a weird aftertaste (possibly from the cinnamon also in it?). While they weren't that tasty for human consumption, they are made for dogs, so the real win is if your pup loves them and ours did. We give this product four paws up.
