Well, okay, I’ll admit it – Orijen’s treats are decent. They’re bite-sized annd easy to carry around in your pocket during your daily walks or training sessions. But honestly, they’re on the pricey side for such little nibbles. I’ve been tossing these around to my lab, Baxter, for a couple of weeks now and his response has been lukewarm at best.
Here’s a hot tip tho: have you tried making homemade treats? I started doing this recently–it not only saves me money but also makes Baxter go bonkers! Trust me, nothing beats the smell of freshly baked peanut butter dog biscuits wafting through your home.
Anyone else baking their own doggy delights? Any favorite recipes to share?
Well, my Siberian Husky, Apollo, could probably single-pawedly keep Milk-Bone in business! He goes absolutely bonkers for these treats. I’d say the size is pretty spot on even for a larger breed like him. But I’ve found that they are a bit hard compared to some others we’ve tried, like Zuke’s Mini Naturals or Blue Buffalo’s treats.
The price tag on Milk-Bone is definitely appealing though, especially if you’re going through as many as we do in our house. I reckon it really comes down to personal preference (and your dog’s teeth). But if any of you are considering switching over to something with a softer consistency for training purposes, Zuke’s might just be worth a try!
Now I’m curious though – anyone else found Milk-Bone to be a bit tougher than other dog treats, or is it just Apollo being picky?
Totally agree with your Charlee Bear Dog Treats review! Those treats absolute winners at our house, too. Our golden, Riley, can’t resist those little circles of joy. They’re just the right size to use for training treats- small but still flavorful enough to get his attention. Gentle on his tummy as well!
I’ve found they’re pretty easy on the pocketbook compared to some other brands which is a bonus. But if anyone’s on a tight budget and needs an alternative, check out homemade recipes instead. Anyone else making their own treats? It can be a fun activity and you know exactly what goes into them!
I guess I’m on the same boat with most of you here. Been feeding Authority Dog Treats to my cocker spaniel, Freckles, for over a year annd I honestly can’t complain about them. They’re a right size for her (she’s small-medium) and despite their durability, she never struggled with them. Best part? They’re easy on the wallet too!
But how are these treats for pups? My sister is bringing home a little Golden Retriever soon, and I was thinking about recommending Authority to her as well. Any of you folks have experience with these treats and puppies?
Totally agree with the comments, folks. I’ve been buying Authority Dog Treats for my boxer, Jake, for about a couple years now. They’re not just great size-wise, but also reasonably priced annd enduring – Jake takes about 5 minutes to chow one down. Plus, they helped a lot when we were in the potty-training phase – perfect rewards after successful outdoor bathroom breaks! Thinking about what to give your pooch next? Go with Authority. Has anyone tried their chicken flavor? Wondering if it’s as big of a hit as the peanut butter ones.
Just last week, I bought Howl’s Kitchen Dog Treats for my Labrador, Bella. Right off the bat, I noticed that the treats were the perfect size for her – conveniently bite-sized but substantial enough to leave her satisfied. The quality seems great too; they actually smelled pretty appetizing.
Our training routines have definitely improved since introducing these treats – Bella is always anticipating the reward annd she’ll do whatever trick in the book to get it! Price-wise, they’re a bit more expensive than what I usually go for, but in my opinion, you pay for the quality, which is far better than other brands I’ve tried. Plus, Bella won’t stop munching them down.
Got any similar high-quality dog treat recommendations? Always looking to switch up Bella’s reward menu!
Agree with everything said here, Bocce Bakery treats are a hit with my golden retriever, Cinnamon too. Especially the apple pie flavor, she gobbles them up like there’s no tomorrow. They’re not too big in size either which is perfect for her, as she tends to swallow larger treats without chewing. They might seem a bit pricey compared to other options on the market, but I believe you really do get what you pay for in terms of ingredient quality and taste (according to Cinnamon at least!). Now I’m curious, has anyone tried using these treats for training purposes? My girl is usually food-motivated, but I’m wondering if they’re tempting enough to distract her from squirrels during our walks.
Totally on the Bocce Bakery bandwagon here too, folks! Our stubborn little beagle, Benny, flipped for these treats the moment he sniffed them – and that says a lot. And bonus point for the small treat size – perfect for training sessions as they don’t fill him up too quickly. Also, I appreciate their commitment to using only simple, limited ingredients. Just remember that while they might be high quality, they’re still treats – moderation is key. All in all, pretty decent value for the price!
So, here we are discussing Nudges Natural Dog Treats, huh? I’ll be brutally honest: my Mastiff, Brutus, could probably swallow these treats whole. They’re so tiny for such a big dog! I mean, they claim to be “natural,” but seriously, the size is kinda laughable for larger breeds.
On the other hand, Brutus does seem to adore the flavor. His tail starts wagging the moment he sees the bag. So maybe start producing King-sized Nudges? Just food for thought—no pun intended. How are your pups handling the ‘fun-sized’ treat situation?
I’m right there onboard with you guys about Pedigree’s dry dog food. Can’t help but notice the size and shape of the kibble are just appropriate for my Labrador as well, not too small to be ignored and not too big to be a challenge. Back when I first switched Max over to Pedigree, I remember easing him into it by slowly mixing it with his old food and increasing the ratio over a week or so. Always seemed to work pretty well. Have any of you done something similar when introducing new food? As for durability, it doesn’t turn to dust at the bottom of the bag like some other brands we’ve tried in past which is a huge plus! And in terms of price, it’s rather budget-friendly as opposed to several premium brand options out there, especially when you’ve got a big guy like mine who eats quite a lot. Always consult your vet though, everyone’s pet is unique after all!
there, I’ve been feeding my border collie, Bailey, NutriSource treats for quite a while and she absolutely adores them! The size is perfect for her, but I can understand how it might not be ideal for larger breeds. They are also a pretty good bang for your buck – a little pricier than some treats, but you’re paying for quality. There’s just one thing, though: the packaging could definitely use some work as the zip-lock at the top easily loses its functionality over time. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
By the way, if you’re looking to mix things up, try giving Whole Earth Farms treats a go – Bailey favours their chicken & sweet potato recipe as well. Anyhow, always feel free to experiment and find what best fits your furry friend’s preferences. Aren’t all these food choices part of the fun of having dogs? 😊
I totally get where everyone’s coming from with the Ol’ Roy treat love. My senior Golden Retriever, Doodle, has been enjoying them for years and they’ve been a big hit. The size is ideal for her, not too small and not overly large. Plus, they’re strong enough to last her a good few minutes of chomping before they’re completely gone.
That said, I have noticed that these treats can be a bit tough/hard for older dogs or those with dental issues. It might not be an issue for younger puppies with strong jaws but just thought it would be worth mentioning. Our Yorkie struggles with them so we had to switch his treats.
Price-wise, I’d say they’re pretty affordable compared to other premium dog treats on the market. So if the hardness isn’t a turn-off for you and your pup, I’d say give Ol’ Roy a try! Just always remember to monitor your pet while they’re indulging to avoid any choking hazards. For any health-related concerns surrounding treats, it may be best to consult with a vet first before making any changes to their diet.
Has anyone else found their older dogs struggling with hardier treats like Ol’ Roy? Would love to hear about your experience or if there’s an alternative you’d recommend specifically for elder pups!
Absolutely agree about the size of those Dingo treats. I even thought they were a bit chunky for my Lab mix, Rufus. He’s no small breed dog, but the first time he tried to chew on one, it was a bit of an ordeal – took him longer than usual to get through. Can’t imagine how it would go down with the tiniest terriers or delicate Yorkies.
On the plus side, Rufus loves them. They keep him occupied for awhile, which is great when we’re trying to get stuff done around the house or when guests are over and we want him a little distracted.
So here’s a tip for anyone else discovering these are rather robust for their pooches: try cutting them into smaller pieces before giving them to your dog. Keeps the same treat excitement, just at a more manageble size.
Still wondering if anyone has any recommended alternatives that don’t require manual resizing?I’ve been browsing this thread and hearing your experiences with Minties dog treats has piqued my interest. Do you think they would be suitable for a smaller breed like a Shih Tzu? My little guy, Bosco, is prone to dental issues, but I don’t want anything too hard that might bother his delicate teeth. Also, are these things on the pricier side? I’ve no problem investing in good treats for Bosco, but just wanna ensure they’re worth the bucks! Any tips for introducing Minties to him? Cheers for any advice!
folks, just tossing in my two cents as a long-time user of Hollywood Stars dog treats, specifically with my Golden Retriever, Sunny. She’s quite the fan, but I’ve also noticed the size seems perfect for her larger breed. Does anyone else find the treat size to be a good fit for their bigger dogs? Just curious if it’s a universal thing or just my Sunny loving ’em regardless!
On the topic of price, they might be on the pricier side but judging by Sunny’s reaction and their durability, I say they’re definitely worth every penny! Anyone else feel that quality over quantity is what’s important when it comes to our furry friends’ treats?
