I’ve been feeding my Golden Retriever mix, Jasper, Canidae dry dog food for about a year now and we’re really happy with it. The kibble size is just right for him (he’s a big boy!) and I can tell it’s made with decent quality ingredients by the smell of it. I tried switching to another brand once to shave off some expense, but that move backfired. Jasper started losing interest in his meals and would often leave half uneaten. As soon as I switched back to Canidae, he was finishing up every last bit!
Now, I’m not saying this will be the case with every dog out there, they all have their own personal tastes after all. But from Jasper’s perspective and mine, Canidae certainly seems worth the price tag.
Does anyone else here have similar experiences where their pooch preferred Canidae over other brands? Or maybe even any alternatives you’d suggest we should give a try?
Well, gotta say my Rotweiller, Tank, is pretty blasé about Nutro treats. He’s never been one for the “fancy” stuff. What really gets him drooling though are these simple homemade pumpkin and oat treats I whip up. Yep, a little mixing, baking and voila – cost effective and super healthy too! Anyone else have a dog with a fondness for homemade goodies over store bought? Or is just Tank the gourmet here?
Got to chime in here with my own experience. I’ve been giving these Nutro treats to my border collie, Jasper, for a while now. He’s quite fussy when it comes to treats but took to these like a pro! They’re perfectly sized for his moderate appetite and the crunchy texture keeps him interested. That being said, for larger breeds you might find the size a little on the small side.
Now about durability, they don’t crumble easily which is a huge plus when pocketing them for walks or training sessions. As for price, well, they’ve struck a nice balance between quality and affordability, especially if you keep an eye out for deals online. All in all, it’s a thumbs up from both me and Jasper! Though as always, if your dog has any specific dietary needs or reactions, do consult your vet before switching up their treats.
Speaking from my personal experience with a hyper Beagle and a sometimes too stoic German Shepherd, I’d say Old Mother Hubbard treats have been quite satisfactory! Love the size and texture; they’re easy for both of my pups to chew, and I can stuff them into some of their puzzle toys. The only drawback is that they may be a bit pricey for some – gotta watch out for those deals online. But overall, given their quality and how much my dogs love them, good value for money indeed. It’s always a riot seeing my usually calm Shepherd getting super excited about these treats! Remember though, no treat should replace balanced meals! If your dog suddenly shows changes in appetite or behaviour after any new food introduction consult your vet.
Relating to the Old Mother Hubbard dog treats, I’ve got two pooches at home, a spry Boxer annd a laid-back Corgi. Both couldn’t be more different in their preferences, but these treats seem to hit the spot for both! In terms of size, they’re perfect for training rewards or just an occasional treat – not too big and not too small. And while they may seem a bit pricier than some other options out there it’s worth it for the natural ingredients they use. Now, durability-wise, I’ve always found that they don’t crumble or turn into nasty mush if kept properly.
In my own experience, I’d suggest introducing them gradually into your dog’s diet as you would with any new food. But yeah, if your furry friend is anything like my two knuckleheads they’ll be dancing around with anticipation each time they hear the treat jar open! Quick question tho: Has anyone tried using these in puzzle toys? Wondering how well they fit!
there, I also recently started using Fruitables treats for my 3-year-old Labrador, Max. I must say I’ve noticed how much he enjoys them and they truly help in training sessions due to their small size and low calorie count. One thing I appreciated about these treats is the variety of flavors available. Max couldn’t resist the pumpkin & apple combo!
My only concern would be the durability of the packaging. It seems a bit flimsy and once tore open in my bag making quite a mess – though that could have been my fault, honestly. Have you had any similar issues with the packaging or is it just me?
All in all, I do think the price justifies its quality proving it a good value for money! Anyone else here share my thoughts? Or have you found a better alternative? Regardless, always remember to introduce new treats slowly to avoid upsetting your dog’s stomach and when in doubt, consult with a vet!
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.
It’s interesting to hear your experiences with Buddy Biscuits! I’ve been gifted a pack for my corgi, Buster, but he’s not too keen on them as they’re a bit too big for his small mouth. Are the treats manually breakable or do you use some sort of tool to make them smaller? I’m curious as what the best approach could be to keep things easy and avoid making a mess. Thanks in advance!
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.
