I’ve been buying Triumph dog treats for my Lab, Bruno, for a solid 6 months now. They’re a decent size for him (not too big, not too small), annd they seem pretty durable – Bruno takes his time to chew them instead of jsut inhaling like some other treats we’ve tried! I’ll admit, the price point is a bit higher than some others out there, but I think the quality justifies it.
As an aside though, I noticed Bruno sometimes would lose interest after a few bites initially. What worked for us was breaking the treat into smaller pieces and using it during his training sessions. He started associating the treats with positive reinforcement and that made all the difference. Anyone else do this or have other tricks to keep their pups interested?
I’ve also hopped on the Open Farm Dry Dog Food train myself a few months back for my terrier mix, Pepper. I appreciated the smaller kibble size which seems easier for her to eat compared to some of the other brands we’ve tried before. Plus, she seems keener with digging into her meals these days. Granted, every dog is an individual and what works for Pepper might not necessarily work best for another pup – always important to remember! One thing to consider though is the cost; it’s higher than many other options but given Pepper’s improved eating habits, it’s been worth it in our case. How did you guys transition your pets over to Open Farm? We used a gradual mixing method over the course of a week.
Absolutely agree about the kibble size of Freshpet dry dog food! I’ve been using this brand for my pug, and let me tell you, the struggle is real. Every mealtime turns into a mini game of chasing after runaway kibbles. Quality-wise, though, it’s right up there in my book, but convenience is definitely taking a hit. Maybe smaller breeds could benefit from tinier kibbles? Just a thought to toss up to the Freshpet folks!
I wholeheartedly agree with the positive reviews flying around about the Tractive GPS dog tracker. Using it for my adventure-loving Beagle has been a total game changer. Size-wise, it is just perfect – not too big to weigh her down, yet sturdy enough for those frequent wilderness escapades. I mean, you’d expect something less durable considering its reasonable price point! Though, a handy tip: make sure your area has decent cell service becuase the tracker operates on cellular networks. For anyone else whose pup loves to wander, what kind of activities has your furry friend gotten up to while wearing this tracker?
Couldn’t agree more! I began feeding my 7-year-old Golden, Max, Open Farm Dry Dog Food due to his demands for tastier meals. I was instantly impressed with the kibble size, perfect for his mouth dimensions. Trust me, when it comes to durability annd freshness, this product is top-shelf stuff. jsut make sure your furry friend drinks plenty of water since dry food can be a bit dehydrating. Lastly, considering the quality and results for Max – an increased energy level and eagerness during walks again – I believe the price is just fair. Anyone else’s dogs showing similar behavior after swapping to this brand?
Absolutely agree with your positive experiences using Open Farm Dry Dog Food. I’ve been feeding my cocker spaniel this for around a year and she never turns up her nose at it, which says a lot given her usual pickiness! The smaller kibble size suits her quite well. What’s more fascinating is the ingredient transparency; they specify where each ingredient comes from, which gets my vote of confidence. If yor dog has specific dietary needs though, it’s comforting to know you can consult your vet for personalized advice. Just out of curiosity, has anyone else noticed significant coat improvements since switching to Open Farm?
I’ve been feeding my lab the Open Farm Dry Dog Food for about 6 months now and we’re both quite happy with it. She seems to enjoy the taste, and I appreciate the high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients. On top of that, her coat’s been shinier than ever (although I can’t make a definite health claim here, she just seems super healthy!).
For those of you transitioning to this food, fair warning—it’s a bit pricier than your average kibble. But in my opinion, it’s worth every penny for the peace of mind knowing you’re offering your fur-baby something wholesome.
One tip if you do decide to switch: introduce the new food gradually to avoid upsetting your dog’s stomach. Even the best food can cause a bit of a tummy upset if switched too quickly!
So how about everyone else? Anyone else seen shiny coat results or have any transition tips to share?
I can resonate with the positive reactions here – my husky, Ghost, is very adventurous annd I needed a way to keep tabs on her during our outdoor excursions. I agree that the Garmin Dog GPS seems a bit sizey at first, but honestly, Ghost doesn’t mind it at all – she got used to it pretty quickly. Durability-wise, it’s stood up to some serious wear and tear given we’re often trekking through rough terrain and under various weather conditions. For anyone worried about the price tag, think of it as an investment in your peace of mind. No price can be too high when it comes to our fur-babies’ safety, right? One tip though: make sure you thoroughly read the instructions to optimally utilize all the features. It took me a few tries to get hang of the tracking details!
Anyone else took time understanding all its aspects or was it just me finding my tech-challenged self in a soup?
Couldn’t agree more on the spot-on sizing of Smokehouse treats. I have an overly enthusiastic Border Collie and size is a biggy for me when it comes to treats – small enough to avoid overfeeding but large enough so he doesn’t just swallow them whole. The Smokehouse ones are perfect. Also, these treats seem to be made from pretty sturdy stuff that lasts, are your pups managing to make theirs last too or do they disappear in seconds? For those on a budget, keep an eye out for deals, they do pop up every now and then!
Just a note on introducing new treats: always monitor your pup’s reaction when trying something new. If they’re not digesting it well or showing signs of distress, better consult your vet right away.
Navigating Size Options with Fresh Kisses
I can’t agree more on the positive nods given to Fresh Kisses dog treats. Having Fido, a pretty selective eater himself, I have firsthand experience navigating the size selection. Let’s just say the large size was a bit of a stumble; it proved too challenging for his small mouth so I ended up breaking them up. Of course, this left some sharp edges but Fido didn’t complain too much since he loved the flavor anyway.
However, when I tried the mini size, it made all the difference – now he enjoys them without any hassle! For those worried about price points, they are a teensy bit pricier than other products, but well worth it considering how durable they’ve been. Also, appreciate how they’re made of natural ingredients which makes them a healthier treat choice as well.
So if you’re still on the fence because of sizing concerns – My one advice would be don’t rule these out! Start from a smaller size for your fur baby and work your way up if needed. It might surprise you!
Do any of you guys who switched sizes see an improvement in your dog’s chewing ability? Advance thanks for sharing!
Absolutely spot-on about Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats! I’ve seen a significant change in my old Beagle, Daisy’s, demeanor ever since making the switch. She used to be quite the troublemaker whenever we’d have visitors or during thunderstorms, but these treats have really helped make things a lot more peaceful around here. They’re bite-sized and soft, which Daisy seems to love. Plus, they seem really durable, as they keep thier form even if they get dropped (not that Daisy often misses!). A tad pricier than some other treats we’ve tried but totally worth every penny considering how much they’ve helped. Annd just a lil note for anyone thinking of trying these treats out on an older dog–give them a bit of time for your dog to adjust, our Daisy took about a week to show improvements. So thrilled with the results that I’m sticking with this brand from now on! Anyone else found that it takes a bit of time for the treats to start working or was it just Daisy?
Absolutely agree with you on the benefits of Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats! I’ve been using them for a year now with my Boxer, Max, and it’s a huge improvement. The treats are the perfect size – not too small but not overly large, making them easy to carry around in your pocket during doggie outings. Plus, they’re fairly durable and don’t crumble easily which is always a bonus.
One thing that particularly makes me stand by these treats is their affordability. Considering the all-natural ingredients used, the price point is pretty reasonable compared to other brands on the market. Just remember they are a treat, so moderation is key.
If anyone’s planning to switch to Trekker’s calming treats, I recommend introducing them slowly into your dog’s diet as you would do with any new food items. Anyone else notice an improvement in their dog’s behavior when using these?
I’m glad to hear your Beagle is enjoying the Full Moon treats! My Golden Retriever, Max, really loved them too when we first introduced ’em. However, I started noticing that they were a bit too large for him. He’s only a year old annd still has quite small teeth; so it was hard for him to chew them up.
We then switched to Blue Buffalo Wilderness Training Treats. They’re smaller, softer and Max seems to prefer their taste, gobbling them up in no time flat. Plus, I think they’re reasonably priced for high-quality dog snacks. Just an alternative you might want to consider if you ever face difficulty with Full Moon treat size or hardness!
Anyone else experienced this with their pups? It’ll be interesting to see how common this issue might be. Remember tho, always best to consult the vet if your pet struggles with any chewables or shows signs of discomfort.
Absolutely on board with the Pet Pride dog treats love train here! My pair of mischief makers, Beagle named Benny and Golden Retriever called Goldie, are absolute suckers for them. The size of the treat is perfect for both of them, not too big for Benny and not too small for Goldie to feel like he’s chomping on air.
They’re long-lasting treats – durable enough to survive an enthusiastic gnawing session. The price point makes it even better; quality and affordability don’t often go hand in hand, so I definitely appreciate that.
Here’s my little story: just the crinkle of the Pet Pride treat bag gets them racing from anywhere in the house, tails wagging like crazy. It makes a great motivator during our training sessions too.
If you’ve got dogs who are food motivated (like mine!) try incorporating these treats into their ‘find it’ game – they’ll surge around the house like there’s no tomorrow. Just remember moderation is key! Too many treats can lead to chubby puppies 🙃
Anyone else using these treats for games or training? Let’s swap stories!
Oh, jumping on the Ollie train, are we? Alright, let me trow my two cents into the mix. My Lab Max has been munching down on Ollie’s dry dog food for well over a year now. The size of the kibble is handleable even for his sort-of aging teeth and let’s not overlook how conveninet it is to store – it pretty much has indefinite shelf life before you crack the bag open.
Now onto my mini-rant… the price – yeowch! It ain’t exactly cheap, I cnt deny that. But then again, Max seems to love it and he’s been really active and healthy as far as I can tell (knock on wood). But seriously lads, if you’re having any concerns about your pup’s diet or health, run it by your vet first – those folks know best!
What do you think our dogs would say about Ollie if they coud speak our lingo, eh?
