Well, ain’t it the truth that our four-legged pals simply can’t get enough of Grandma Lucy’s. My Basset hound, Lulu completely goes gaga over them no matter the flavor it seems. From a human point of view, I do appreciate their convenience in size and that they’re easy to break apart for making portion control easier during training or when you just want to treat your pup without overdoing it. On the flipside though, they’re ain’t exactly cheap – but hey, anything for our beloved poochs right? Anyone else feel the shiver run down their wallet every time their dog drools at these treats?
Completely on board with the positive experiences of The Bear and The Rat treats here. Our Husky, Max, a picky eater, took to them immediately. I also love how they’ve managed the size – small enough for our pooch to handle comfortably but still substantial enough to feel like a real reward. One tip I’d offer is to surely use these treats as training aids and not just as a snack; they make an excellent motivation for your dog’s learning sessions! Just remember, goodies should not exceed 10% of your dog’s daily intake; ensure a balanced diet is maintained. Anyone else using them this way?
Absolutely agree about the high quality of Plato Dog Treats. We’ve been witness to their high quality for quite some time as well. My lab, Molly, is seventeen and I’ve been giving her these treats since she was youthful. Especially love the fact that they’re sustainably sourced and quite substantial in size.
One thing I would add to the discussion is a note on ease of breakability. Though they are a decent size, they tend to crumble easily which means less mess but also smaller nibbles for our larger furry friends. Price-wise, you do indeed get what you pay for: high-quality ingredients your dog will love and a company that cares about sustainability.
As an alternative, we’ve also had luck with “The Honest Kitchen” dog treats. They’re also made from natural ingredients and hold up better without crumbling. Also worth giving a try! I’d be curious if anyone here has compared the two brands?
Oh, Plato Dog Treats, eh? What a fancy schmancy choice for your fur-babies! Size? Well, they’re certainly not meant for the teacup poodles. Trust me on this one: last year, tried giving one to my tiny little Biscuit and it was like watching him trying to devour a watermelon. As for the material and durability, well, people talk about its ‘real ingredient’, but what’s that exactly… sketchy chicken from who-know-where? Price-wise these snacks need their own savings account! But hey, must admit my stubborn old Buster just goes nuts for them. Ever tried anything else like healthier homemade options maybe? Just curious!
Hearing your stories reminds me of when my Cockapoo, Benny, first tried Alpo Prime Cuts. He’s generally not a picky eater, but this one just didn’t do it for him. I found the kibble size was a little too large for him and he didn’t seem to enjoy the taste much either. For any smaller breed owners out there, just something to consider before picking it up at the store. Lastly remember, if your fur baby continually rejects a certain food, it might be worth a trip to the vet to ensure there aren’t any underlying health issues!
Absolutely agree with these positive comments about Iams! We’ve been using it with our Bichon Frise, Bonnie, for a good few years now. She’s always been quite petite and picky about her food, but she seems to really enjoy the small size kibble from this brand. Plus, her coat has never looked better – not that you’d expect anything less from a Bichon!
However, I’m curious: has anyone tried mixing in some wet food with the Iams dry food? I’ve read it can provide a bit of variety and make mealtimes more enticing for finicky eaters. Although Bonnie hasn’t shown signs of boredom yet, I’d love to hear experiences or recommendations for good wet dog food to mix with the Iams dry one we’re currently using. Always good to keep things interesting for our furry friends!
