there dog lovers! Proud parent of a petite Pomeranian, and we’ve been using the Pawfit 3 for about a month now. It’s solidly built and fits my little fluff ball just fine with the adjustable settings. Though it’s a bit pricier than some alternatives, the added peace of mind is compeltely worth it. A little tip – if you’re worried about size, mabye put it on your pup’s harness instead of their collar, that helped us get a better fit. I hope this helps you with your decision making! Any others out there using the Pawfit on smaller breeds?
While I’ve heard great experiences about Merrick dry dog food and used it myself at one point, my dog, Max, actually didn’t adapt well, having an upset stomach more often than usual. The main ingredient in most of their formulas – bulky protein sources like chicken and beef – might be a bit heavy for dogs with sensitive tummies.
So I switched to Canidae Pure Dry Dog Food, which has a diverse range of novel proteins like bison or duck besides the usual ones and includes plenty of vegetables too. Smaller kibble size also helped Max’s digestion. It is slightly more pricey than Merrick but seeing Max healthier made it worth it for me.
Has anyone else here tried feeding their fur babies Canidae or other easily digestible foods especially when dealing with sensitive stomach issues? Remember that each dog reacts differently to different food brands/types, so a vet consultation is always beneficial before any drastic food switch.
I’m right there with you guys. Our Boxer, Max, absolutely loves his Good ’n’ Fun treats too! They’ve been especially great for training; the size is just perfect for rewards and they really keep his attention. Sometimes I worry about the rawhide element of the treats though. No problems yet, but if anything changed we’d surely head straight to our vet. Anyone else had any long-term experiences with this product? How do your pups react to them over time?
I’ve gotta agree with you there, I had a similar experience with Good ’n’ Fun dog treats. My pooch Rhett, an exuberant Lab aged 5, also took to these treats like a bee to honey. They’re the perfect size for him, not too big annd not too small – just right for a quick reward during training sessions or a special treat after bath time.
Price-wise they certainly won’t break the bank, which is always a win in my book. Durability though is a double-edged sword; they last long enough to keep Rhett entertained but can produce quite a mess if left on carpets or fabric surfaces.
Just my two cents worth: it’s best to give these treats in an easy-to-clean area! We usually stick to the kitchen floor or his outdoor run spot. Anyone else have any tips or tricks for keeping treat-time tidy? Or perhaps another type of fun, engaging dog snack you’d recommend?
Absolutely, couldn’t agree more with all the wonderful things you’ve all said about Charlee Bear dog treats. They’re super convenient because of their small size – no need to break them into smaller pieces, which is a big plus. But I have a question. My stubborn Bulldog is not particularly interested in them unless there’s some kind of high value treat involved, like cheese or chicken. Has anyone else faced this and do you guys have suggestions for making these treats more enticing to picky eaters? This problem typically doesn’t arise with higher priced treats, which can be tough on the wallet!
Couldn’t agree more with the reviews here about Nature’s Promise Dry Dog Food. It’s been a game changer in my household too. My picky German Shepherd mix, Luna, would often turn her nose up at other brands, but she dove right into this food. Of course, every dog is different and what works for one might not work for all. If you have any doubts or concerns about your dog’s nutrition, I’d recommend consulting your vet. But as for us, Luna and I are Nature’s Promise fans now! Anyone else have similar experiences with other dry dog foods?
Totally agree about Charlee Bear treats, they’ve been a life-saver in my house! My boxer, Rocky, is usually a bit picky when it comes to treats but he always seems excited when he hears the package crack open. Honestly, I think the small size is perfect – great for training sessions and portion controlling. They’re not very crumbly either, which is a huge plus as far as clean-up goes. And looking at the price point, Charlee Bear gives us a good bang for our buck, wouldn’t you guys agree? Has anyone tried using these treats with puppy training? Would love to know more!
Oh boy, have I got a tale for you all. Picked up the Fi Series 3 Collar for my rambunctious Golden, Fido. Size and fitting was perfectly straightforward, well except for Fido’s non-stop tail wagging excitement. Funny enough, he seemed chuffed with his new “bling-bling.”
Material-wise, it’s pretty solid but still lightweight which is a plus in my book. Been using it for a few months now and hasn’t scratched or lost any gloss, even when ol’ Fido decides playing fetch involves more rolling than fetching.
Now durability and price – definitely worth the investment. Fido has tested its ruggedness several times, including an unplanned spring into the lake (he spotted a duck) and yet this collar pulled through like a champ. Gotta say though, if your not ready to part with a bit of your wallet, then you might want to look at cheaper options.
Lastly this new fitness tracking feature — man oh man! You ain’t seen anything until you’ve seen graphs charting pupper walks down to the minute! It’s all fun and games till you realize your dog takes more steps in a day than you do!
Cheerios,
Dale & FidoP.S – If anyone out there knows how to clean this thing without messing up the tracker – let me know.
I’ve been using Trader Joe’s dog treats for my Boxer, Rocky, for over 6 months and you bet he can’t get enough of them. The size is just right – not too big and not too tiny to be a choking hazard; a point that really mattered to me when picking out a treat for him. As for the price, these treats don’t break the bank which is definitely a plus.
Here’s a cute little tidbit… whenever Rocky hears the crinkle of the package, he leaves whatever he’s doing and dashes straight to me with those expectant eyes! That’s testament enough for me that he loves them. One tip though, always check the ingredient list if your pup has specific dietary needs or allergies. All in all, Rocky and I have had a good experience with Trader Joe’s dog treats so far! So yeah, we’d recommend giving ’em a try. Maybe anyone else here has tried other flavors? I’ve seen there’s quite a range at Trader Joe’s but only stuck to one thus far.
While I can’t dispute the popularity of Tracki GPS, I’d just like to throw Whistle Go Explore into the mix here. In terms of durability, this GPS device is also top-notch annd even waterproof! And don’t get me started on battery life, it’s amazing. My adventurous Daschund Mix once ventured off into the woods for a day trip and her Whistle stayed powered up throughout. Additionally, it offers comprehensive health monitoring features that are a big plus. Anyone else got experiences with Whistle?
While I’ve given Wet Noses dog treats a try in the past, they didn’t quite hit the mark for me personally. Particularly, the size of the chunks seemed too large for my smaller breed dogs, which led to some messy and potentially hazardous eating situations. Cost-wise, they were also a bit steep compared to other options on the market.
On the flip side, we recently switched over to Zesty Paws Calming Bites – smaller sized treats that are much easier for little jaws and also boast natural ingredients. Plus, the price is more budget-friendly! Perhaps it could be a suitable alternative for any pup-parents who are grappling with similar chunk-size or cost concerns as I did with Wet Noses. Has anyone else encountered this issue or am I alone in this boat?
I’ve been using the Airtag with a pet case for my Lab mix, Bailey, and overall it’s been a decent experience. Size was spot on and material seemed durable, although after a few weeks of rough play, some scratches became evident. The price point is reasonable too, considering the peace of mind it provides in terms of tracking. However, I found that Bailey was initially quite interested in the new addition to her collar and tried chewing on it, so a slow intro may be beneficial. But hey, no solution’s perfect right? This one comes pretty close though. Has anyone else noticed the same issue with their dogs showing interest in the Airtag?
Well, isn’t life just full of handy surprises? Indeed, my bull terrier, Muffin, wasn’t exactly a fan of the Howl’s Kitchen Dog Treats initially. (Mind you, she’s pretty picky.) Then, we switched to the Savory Bacon & Cheese variety and oh boy, no looking back since! She demolishes them like a mini tornado on four legs. All bets are off if I try to swap out these treats for anything else now.
While their size is perfect for Muffin (she’s hefty but at the smaller end of Bull Terriers), I’ve been hearing some complaints about the material being a little too tough for smaller breeds. If that’s any concern for your pup, maybe try breaking them into smaller pieces? And as always – keep an eye on them while they’re chomping down.
Contrary to what people usually think, price-wise it’s not bad at all when you compare it with other premium dog treat options available in the market. It’s definitely worth giving it a shot if you haven’t yet.
But hey, it’s probably a great thought to switch things up sometimes – has anyone tried Chewy’s Waffles Biscuits or Barking Bakery Cookies yet? They can be another hit with our fussy four-legged buddies!
all, I’ve been reading these positive reviews about Authority Dog Treats annd thinking of trying them out for my own fur buddy, a hefty golden retriever named Max. Although many of you mentioned they’re a good size for smaller breeds, do you think they’d still be satisfactory for a larger dog like Max in terms of both portion size and satisfaction? As I find some treats are simply not filling enough and he ends up begging for more. Appreciate your insights!
I’ve got a tale to tell about my Springer Spaniel and Yummy Combs! My Spaniel, being an active breed, had some dental build-up even though he’s only two. A friend of mine suggested Yummy Combs, and now they’ve become our go-to treat. The size fits perfectly (we chose the medium size) and as per my observation, it seems pretty durable too – lasts more than just a few chews. Plus, I can’t omit that it’s comparatively affordable than most other specialist dental treats. My dog absolutely loved the honey flavor! Just remember folks, this isn’t an alternative to regular teeth cleaning or vet visits for dental check-ups. Overall, Yummy Combs has been worth every penny in our house, and I’ll recommend them for any pup parents out there. Has anyone else found a particular flavor their dogs like more?
