Petzi
Petzi was founded in 2013 with the mission of bringing pets and their owners closer together through today's most popular trends and technologies. Petzila is a leader in internet of thing (IoT) pet solutions with a broad array of patents pending, it has created a platform of technology solutions promoting interactivity, health maintenance, training, and overall well-being between pet parents and the animals they love.
Petzi Treat Cam ($169.99ARV) allows you to connect with your pet and give them treats no matter where you are! The Petzi is an app-controlled, wife-connected remote pet treat dispenser and camera. It allows you the check-in and interact with your pet from any smart phone or tablet. You can see your pet, speak to your pet, snap a picture of them (if they are w/in camera view) and of course give your pet treats when you are away from home. The Petzi has a wide-angle camera with night vision and high-quality audio. The universal treat launcher is good to use with any dry, crunchy treat that is smaller than 1 inch.
The Petzi comes with two small packs of dog treats which are mini Milk-Bones and a small pack of Irresistibles from Meow Mix for the kitties.
Worried about your pooch or sassy kitty knocking it over and causing the Petzi to break? This has a sleek, safe and durable design. It was designed for our furry friends after all. Not to mention that there are many mounting options making it simple to place it anywhere that suits your needs. Set up with the app is very easy. It has a dedicated iOS and Android app that controls the device and allows content to be shared socially.
With a single push of a button 1-3 dog or cat treats are playfully ejected into the viewing area. As you can see in the video below, the pup has no issue with finding where her treats have landed, bounced to and/or slid to across the hardwood floor.
We love the Petzi! Even the cats come running now for some treats. It is absolutely adorable to watch Sammie Jo (our Boxer pup) cock her head at the camera when you speak to her. Any pet owner should have a Petzi!

Ezio loves when our fruit drawer is full! I'm surprised he hasn't turned into an orange yet.
And... not so fond of the veggies that were nearly over flowing in our veggie drawer. He's not a big fan of many veggies, which we're working on and since receiving these Door to Door Organics boxes with a larger variety of veggies in them, I have been able to get him to try some new and different veggies.

Ezio took great pride in helping me unbox all three boxes, including our second box which we have an unboxing video of! You can view that right down below.
We received a Red Bell Pepper in every box we received and Ezio insisted that every one of those peppers was actually an apple. So I let him have at it and while he did attempt to bite into the pepper he did not eat it as I had sort of hoped. I guess once he broke through the skin of the pepper he realized it tasted different. However, he still calls them apples. It's rather cute.
A medium mixed produce box lasts us not quite a full week! All of the kids as well as myself mow down on fruit and veggies more so then we have ever done with candy! Unless it's chocolate. Everyone LOVES apples and I managed to get my picky eater, Cade, to try a pear by cutting them both up and sort of mixing them together. He didn't think that was very clever of me, took one bite and immediately knew it was not an apple, after that he knew which slices were apples and which were pears. "Breaks the game", as my grandfather used to say. Ezio and Jada on the other hand will eat apples and pears like they were the last food on the Earth. Jada eats much more veggies then the boys which is awesome! She has always loved salad and typically will eat a salad before a "meal" or other sorts.
Jada and I had a delicious Spaghetti Dinner with Red Leaf Lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and of course bacon. We also had a side of cucumbers, cause well, we just love cucumbers. Jada mostly ate her salad and cucumbers of course.
Blood Orange!
Honestly, I don't ever remember having had a blood orange growing up so this was a first for me as well as Ezio (my little orange boy). I was quite nervous that he wouldn't eat it due to it's dark purple color, but after a quick ew, he tried it and loves them!
Ezio ate all of the blood oranges and also "scared" his sister with the "Ew!". Jada thought the orange was rotten and that's why it was a purple color, she refused to try it.
All of the fruits and veggies we received in our three boxes were delicious and of great quality. Some of the leafy veggies did have tiny little red bugs on them, but they are normal and due to not having harsh chemical pesticides sprayed on the produce. They washed off rather easy and you couldn't even tell they were there. We did not receive any rotten or molding produce and my favorite part is that we didn't bring any fruit flies into the house! EVERY time we go to our traditional grocery store for produce we typically end up bringing home fruit flies.... and it's impossible to get rid of them with how much fruit and veggies we have in the house at any given time. We had no issues at all! Making a huge plus for DTDO from my point of view.

McDonald's will start giving Happy Meal Books, above is a video of one of the books read. All three of my children love reading, they don't get happy meals from McDonald's very often, but I'm sure it will a great surprise when they see a book inside of their meal!
