I’m in agreement with the Canidae dry dog food praises being that our energetic Golden Retriever, Sunny, has been thriving on it for about a year now. What really impresses me is that despite it being a bit pricier, you certainly get your money’s worth because of the ingredients quality and balance; I feel assured knowing Sunny’s getting a nutritious meal. One surprising thing we noted is less waste in our yard too which, to me, says Sunny’s really absorbing the beneficial components of the food. Has anyone else noticed less mess with Canidae? As always, consult your vet especially if your furry friend has specific dietary needs!
It’s truly great to see all the Greenies love here! I tried those with my Poodle, Ginger, a while back but found them a tad bit expensive in the long run. Switched to natural bully sticks instead – they are equally loved by Gingy, last longer and are more cost-effective! So if anyone is looking for alternatives without compromising on quality, you might want to give bully sticks a shot. Anybody else experienced with these or other treats with similar advantages?
Oh, Greenies, the green gold of dog treats, right? Don’t get me wrong, my Boxer loves them – but I gotta say, they aren’t the most budget-friendly option out there. I actually switched to Zuke’s Natural Training Dog Treats about a year ago. They’re smaller, so they last longer and they’re easier on my pocketbook! Plus, Sheldon (my boxer) seems to be none the wiser – he gobbles them up just as eagerly. Any of ya’ll tried Zuke’s? Might be a worthy alternative for those of us balancing wallets and wagging tails!
Absolutely a fan of Greenies over here as well – they’re especially great for my Shepherd mix. The regular size Greenies work wonders for his dental health while keeping him entertained.
If your dog is anything between medium and large, I’d recommend going for the regular or even the large size because they really gnaw at them, helping clean their teeth more effectively. I’ve found the durability to be impressive – it takes our guy quite some time to finish one, giving him plenty of enjoyment for his ‘treat’ time!
In terms of pricing, they may be a bit pricier than some other treats out there, but for us, it’s justified considering everything else (benefits, enjoyment). Plus I often find coupons or deals at PetSmart.
That being said, always remember to accompany these treats with a balanced diet and regular vet check-ups (especially if you notice redness or swelling in the gums after using Greenies), as it won’t solve all dental concerns on its own.
Have others found any alternative dental chews that your dogs love and do well with?
While I see why so many are raving about Ollie, my Beagle and I had a different experience. We tried both their dry and wet food for around 2 months, but my fussy little guy didn’t seem to love it as much as his previous food. Don’t get me wrong, the ingredient list is impressive and transparent which I truly appreciate, but every dog has unique tastes and preferences. On the bright side, Ollie’s customer service was top-notch when we decided to cancel our subscription. If your pup isn’t too keen on Ollie either, you might want to consider Natural Balance or Blue Buffalo, they’ve got a good range of flavors and my Beagle seems to enjoy them more! Remember though, for any drastic diet changes, it’s always best to consult your vet first.
Oh, I’ve tried these Old Mother Hubbard treats for my Maltipoo, Daisy. She seems really to enjoy them as well. Smaller in size than some other treats we’ve tried, they’re perfect for her petite mouth, and they seem relatively hardy considering they don’t break down into crumbs easily. As for the price point, they are a bit more on the expensive side compared to others on the market. However, if your dog enjoys them as much as Daisy does mine, it’s might just be worth the extra cost! Alternatively, has anyone tried Zuke’s Mini Naturals? They’re also small-shaped treats, and Daisy seems to like those just as much!
So glad to see fellow Fruitables fans here! I’ve been toggling between the pumpkin and apple flavors for my husky, Sky, for the past three years. She’s a real chewer and these treats definitely stand up to her tough chomping. The size is perfect too — not too large or small to hold their attention during training sessions. And I feel good knowing that they’re made from natural ingredients and are low in calories. They’re a little pricier than some other treats on the market, but considering the quality, I don’t mind splurging a bit. As always, if your furry pal has any dietary concerns or allergies, remember to consult your vet before introducing new treats to their regimen. Sky sends her paw of approval! 🐾
Anyone else tried out the blueberry flavor? I’m thinking it might be our next adventure!
I’ve been using Happy Dog Dry Food for my ol’ buddy Max, a border collie mix, for around 8 months now. I was a bit skeptical at first due to the slightly higher price tag, but honestly, it’s been worth every penny. Max seems more energetic and his coat is looking shinier. He also finishes his bowl faster than ever before which never happened with our previous brands.
My tip for anyone considering a switch would be to gradually introduce the food into your dog’s diet – suddenly changing foods can sometimes upset thier stomachs. It took Max about a week to fully adjust to Happy Dog.
Has anyone noticed if the food retains its freshness after opening? We’re halfway through our first bag and it still seems pretty good so far… But always looking for more insights from fellow pup parents!
I’ve got to chime in on the Happy Hips discussion too! I’ve been giving these to my Golden Retriever, Max, and he absolutely loves ’em. However, I noticed some inconsistency in treat size within the same package. While Max isn’t particularly fussy, smaller dogs might have a harder time with the bigger pieces. Has anyone else had this issue? Also curious about the price difference between online stores and local pet stores – anyone else notice any substantial discrepancies? As always, remember to consult your vet before changing your dog’s diet or introducing new treats!
So glad to hear all of the positive feedback about Plato Dog Treats! Our little Pomeranian, Fluffy, can’t get enough of the fish stick variety. I’ve noticed though that the treats seem a bit big for her – even when I break them up into smaller pieces. How do you guys manage the size for your smaller fur friends? I’m considering using a food processor to make them more manageable but worried it might affect the nutrients in some way. By the way, their price seems quite fair for the quality, don’t you think? Any tips on this would be appreciated!
Ha, oh definitely not alone! I went through the Alpo Prime Cuts journey with my good boy Charlie, and it was nothing short of a culinary sitcom. Let’s just say the look he gave me was half adorable disbelief, and half “Seriously, human?” I think the size of the kibble might have been a bit overwhelming for him.
My advice? Try transitioning your dogs gradually into new food types if you chose to switch again in the future since sudden change might put them off. Also, always remember that what works for one pooch might not necessarily work for another – it’s all about their individual preferences and dietary needs. Vet consultation is never out of place when considering such changes too.
Anyone else got any “love at first sniff” or “snubbed by snout” stories about introducing new food to your fur babies? Love hearing your experiences!
Couldn’t agree more about the benefits of Iams Dry Dog Food. It’s been a staple in my house ever since I adopted Max, my spunky Jack Russel, and I’ve noticed noticable improvements in his coat and energy levels. Plus, the small kibble size is perfect for his little jaws. Don’t even get me started on the value for price – absolutely unmatchable! A one-time caution though, always introduce new food gradually to your furry friends’ diet to prevent any sudden digestive issues. How did your pups react during the transition period? Any particular tips you’d like to share?
