    Wow, you hit the nail on the head with your review of “The Bear and The Rat” treats! Even my finicky Shiba Inu, Max, couldn’t resist them. The size was jsut perfect for him and I appreciated how well they held up without crumbling—no mess to clean up later. Sure, they might be a little pricier than some other options out there, but in my opinion, it’s definately worth every cent considering the quality and Max’s joy.

    On another note, I found these treats super helpful during training sessions too—the flavor was a huge incentive for Max! Now that’s not saying ditch all your training methods though—using these as a high-value reward worked wonders alongside regular commands and praise.

    Has anyone tried using these treats for agility or advanced training exercises? I’d love to hear about what kinds of “tricks” your pups have picked up with the help of “The Bear and The Rat”!

    Absolutely agree with you there, the “Bear and The Rat” treats are a hit in our home too. I’ve got 13 years of pup parenting behind me and these treats have proved to be some of the most popular amongst my crew. Starting from their size, they’re just right for both my larger retriever, Ben and the new dachshund pups.

    I really appreciate that they’re not tough or tuggy, makes it easier on their teeth and jaws. And you don’t find pieces everywhere which is a plus! Also worth applauding is their pricing – in light of the quality ingredients used and knowing they prioritize safety & health, it feels fair.

    Quick tip for other owners out there – try using these treats as training rewards. My fussy eater, Bella has been pulling all her tricks trying to earn more.

    Curious though, anyone else tried their cooling yoghurt variety yet? Always looking for ways to help my pals beat the summer heat!

    I have to jump in here and share my two cents on The Bear and The Rat treats. With around 18 years of canine companionship under my belt, I’ve come across quite a lot of dog food products, but this one stands out for me. At first glance, these treats really tick all the boxes – they’re a comfortable size for both small and larger breed dogs, but what completely won me over is their composition. Made with top-tier ingredients, it’s clear the manufacturers prioritize our furry friends’ health.

    Admittedly however, these are not exactly cheap treats when you look at the price per unit. Yet if your budget allows and if you often manage to score one during a sale (like I do!), it’s a worthy expenditure considering the joy and nutrition it provides for our pups.

    On a lighter note, let me recount a quick anecdote about my golden retriever, Dicky. A pretty selective eater he is Dicky – gives me side-eyes for even the faintest change in his kibble brand. But with “The Bear and The Rat”, there were no such complaints! It surprisingly became an instant hit right from day one; watching him eagerly pounce at every treat toss has been a real delight to see!

    But always remember guys, regardless of what kind of food or treats you give your pets, regularly consulting your veterinarian for diet consultation is key for maintaining optimal health.

    Absolutely agree that “The Bear and The Rat” treats have rocked our dog’s world as well! As someone who has maybe 13 years of doggy experience under my belt, I’ve tried a slew of treat brands but this one undoubtedly stands out. Maybe it’s the size or the material used, these treats seem to last much longer and get my little Yorkie engaged for quite awhile than those other brands.

    Speaking of Yorkie, he totally loves to munch on them outdoors during our park visits. Though at $30 for a pack, I sometimes have to reel in his enthusiasm a tad bit. 😅 Have you folks noticed that dogs with particular dietary needs respond better (digestion wise) to these treats? Again, if it’s about health concerns, do consult their vet but was just curious about your personal observations!

    Completely on board with the positive experiences of The Bear and The Rat treats here. Our Husky, Max, a picky eater, took to them immediately. I also love how they’ve managed the size – small enough for our pooch to handle comfortably but still substantial enough to feel like a real reward. One tip I’d offer is to surely use these treats as training aids and not just as a snack; they make an excellent motivation for your dog’s learning sessions! Just remember, goodies should not exceed 10% of your dog’s daily intake; ensure a balanced diet is maintained. Anyone else using them this way?

    I have to agree with the chorus of praise for The Bear and The Rat treats! My trusty Beagle, Buster, is notoriously picky about his snacks – but since we’ve introduced these treats into his routine, he’s been positively wagging his tail off. It’s a beautifully balanced blend of size and crunchiness, making it an ideal reward during trick training. As far as price goes, they’re a bit on the higher side but I consider it well worth every penny for the quality you get. My advice for any hesitating owners out there – give these a whirl and see how your canine companion reacts. You might just be swept up in the trend like us! Of course, if your dog has unique dietary needs or concerns, it’s always best to check in with your vet before introducing new foods.

    Hands down, The Bear and The Rat treats have been fantastic for us too! Especially impressed with the small size of these treats, they’re the perfect portion for my little doxie, Fidget. For anyone out there with smaller dog breeds, you know how hard it can be to find treats that are easy for them to manage.

    When it comes to durability, these have a great crunch that really seems to satisfy her. I’ve noticed fewer crumbs left over compared to other brands we’ve tried in the past. My one tiny gripe might be the price point – it’s a bit steep but honestly considering the quality ingredients and Fidget’s clear love for them, it feels worth every penny.

    We first introduced The Bear and The Rat treats to Fidget during training and boy did they help grab her attention! Would definitely recommend giving this strategy a shot if you’re looking for a new motivational tool during obedience sessions.

    Has anyone else found other training uses for these treats? Or maybe even hidden benefits like improved coat condition? Of course it could purely be coincidental, but since we’ve started using these specific treats, I’ve noticed Fidget’s fur looking healthier and shinier than ever before. Could be wishful thinking…or maybe I’m onto something?? Would love to hear about other pup parents’ experiences!

    Absolutely agree with all the love for The Bear annd The Rat treats! Our Golden Retriever, Sammy, utterly adores them too. They’re perfectly sized and super easy to carry around during our walks or trips to the park. Plus, they have shown commendable durability even after a month of daily use – none of them have broken or crumbled apart!

    Speaking from personal experience, these treats have made training sessions way more effective. Sammy just can’t resist them and he’s learned new tricks in no time; it’s like magic! As for the price, they might seem a bit steep initially but considering the high quality and benefits, I’d say they’re worth every penny.

    Ever tried using them while teaching your dogs to swim? Our Sammy was apprehensive about water before but ever since we started using these treats as incentives, his fear has noticeably reduced. Just remember not to replace professional vet advice with treats when it comes to addressing your dog’s specific issues.

    Has anyone noticed their dogs becoming more active after introducing these treats to their diet? Is it just me ntoticing this bost in Samy’s energy levels or could there be relevant experiences amng you guys too?

    Absolutely agree with all the chatter about The Bear annd The Rat treats! I’ve been serving these goodies to my Lab, Marley, for over 6 months now, and he literally does a happy dance each time. However, I’ve noticed these treats are a tad on the smaller side – perfect for regular-sized or small breeds but perhaps not as satisfying for our larger furry friends. Has anyone tried breaking them up and using them as training rewards? I wonder if they’d retain their crunchiness that way. Also keen to hear any insights on price variations across stores – the budget-friendly aspect is definitely part of its appeal!

    I gotta chime in here: The Bear and The Rat treats have been pawsome for my Border Collie, Noodles. We love the size of these treats – they’re jsut right for her and she doesn’t make a huge mess munching on them. Plus, they’ve shown great durability, even survived the infamous Noodle crunch test (let’s say it’s rigorous). The price is a bit steep but totally worth it given how eagerly she waits for her treat time!

    One tip I’ve found helpful – I use these treats amidst playtime as a reward and this has actually enhanced our training session success rates. Who knew Noodles would learn ‘spin’ so fast? But again, all dogs are different containers of cookies, what works with Noodle may not necessarily work with others.

    As for alternatives, we also liked Lilly’s Kitchen Organic Bedtime Biscuits. Slightly cheaper and equally loved by pooch pals! Of course, if you ever have health concerns about your dog’s diet, do consult your vet.

    While I’m not disputing the rave reviews The Bear and The Rat treats are getting, I’d like to toss another brand into the mix: Pup’s Delight. Their ingredients are just as impressive, made with all-natural ingredients (no cheaper fillers like corn or wheat). When I switched Max, my terrier, to these, he took an instant liking to them and didn’t experience any upset stomach issues that can sometimes happen with a sudden treat swap. Plus, they’re a bit more budget-friendly, which is always appreciated. They seem to last longer too! However, as always consult with your vet if changing treats causes any issues. Anyone else have experience with Pup’s Delight?

    Oh boy, The Bear and The Rat treats, where do I even start? Scooby, my lovable mutt, basically scoffs at them. He wouldn’t even give one a sniff! They’re a bit small for his taste (you know how it goes with big dogs). And when it comes to durability – ha! It’s like watching a giant eat mini marshmallows! While I totally get the appeal if you have smaller pups or dogs on the pickier side of the spectrum, I’ve found Old Mother Hubbard Biscuits hit the spot for my big guy. Plus they last a little longer which is handy. Substitute ’em in and watch your dog wolf ’em down like hungry tiger! That said, has anyone tried other snacks from The Bear and The Rat? Are they consistently this mini-sized?
