This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Purina®. All opinions are 100% mine.
What role do your pets play in your life? Are they your bests friends? Your fur babies? Your loyal sidekicks? I think of my pets as playing all of those roles.
Since I work from home, they are the ones who keep me company all day and keep me smiling and laughing. They say that having pets adds on years to your life and I totally agree with that statement. Not only do they add years, they make each year more enjoyable!
We recently added two new additions to our pet family. These two little gray kittens don’t have names yet, although we’re leaning toward Trouble for the boy. That definitely describes what he is!
While the other cats are taking their time getting used to them, our dog, Toby, has happily welcomed them into our home. He is already playing with them, hanging out with them and showing them the ropes of how things work in our household.
Sam’s Club and Purina are celebrating the important role pets play in our lives and are challenging each of us to take the Sam's Club Purina® Paws 4 Life Pledge. The idea behind the pledge is that a happy pet is a healthy pet. The pledge states: “I pledge to live a healthier lifestyle along with my pet. We are starting this journey together, and you can too!”

Your health and your pet’s health can go hand in hand. Besides just the health benefit of added happiness, my Toby also adds to my health by getting me outside of the house to walk several times a day. I know that the walking is good for him and he enjoys it, so it is extra incentive for me to get moving regularly.
The health of our pets also depends on how we feed and take care of them. By being a Sam’s Club member, we have the added benefit of being able to find favorite Purina® products at great prices. Be sure to head over and take the a happy pet is a healthy pet pledge and share it with your friends to encourage them to pledge too!

I had no idea they even had pet food at Sam’s Club. That is a good thing to know. I need to tell my daughter for sure!

My buddy Panda makes me smile and laugh all of the time. When I am having a bad day, he can cheer me up instantly. I adore him and I’ll do anything to ensure he is happy, healthy and loved.

My pets ARE my family. We have a sick kitty now, and I’m worried sick about her. Thanks for sharing!

Adorable furbabies you have! We have 3 dogs, and 1 cat. They are my little babies always at my side… no matter what! I think this pledge is awesome, and I’d do it!

Our dog is like our baby. He’s so sweet and loving and such a loyal companion!

Sam’s does have great prices. If we had a pet, that’s definitely where we’d go to buy in bulk!

I love your pets! They are all so cute! We just adopted our first cat and we are in love. We’ve always had a dog, but never a kitty.
Tracy @ Ascending Butterfly says
I haven’t had a pet since my last dog died, I just haven’t been able to get another one yet. These are great photos! I love the dog with the kitten! 🙂
Courtney says
Your kitties are so cute! I love that the dog is already smitten with them. There’s nothing more cute than a dog playing with cats. Especially a big one like yours!

We don’t have have any pets yet, but we’re looking into getting a dog for my son’s birthday. I’m excited
Jaime says
We have a cat (my mom has a dog) and they are truly family members! My cat eats Purina food and I may take better care of her than I do myself sometimes. 😉
Mitch says
We do not have a pet but that will be changing next month. My son has been begging for a dog. I can’t wait to see how our life changes when that happens!

My dog, Milo, is my snuggle buddy. He sits next to me on the couch while I am working 🙂
