there, it’s so funny how experiences can differ between dog parents! I’ve been using Caesars for my lab mix, Benny, but often find the kibble size to be a bit too small for him. Does anyone else have this issue or is it just a bigger dog problem? I mean, Benny isn’t fussy at all, but I wonder if larger kibble might promote better chewing annd thus improve his dental hygiene. That aside, pricing seems fair and Benny doesn’t complain about taste (as far as I can tell), so the food definitely has its merits. Will keep an ey on his dental health thoough, perhaps a vet visit might be in order just to double-check if everything’s fine there. Happy parenting!
That’s really interesting to hear about your experiences with Nature’s Promise Dry Dog Food. My Labradoodle, Bruno, is a bit of a fusspot but we haven’t given it a go yet. Out of curiosity, what are the kibble sizes like? Bruno struggles with smaller pieces. Oh and also, have any of you noticed any changes in coat health or energy levels? I’d love to know before making a switch. Of course all dogs are different and I’ll discuss this with the vet too!
I definitely have to agree with the Milk-Bone love going around! I have two extra-large Great Danes and they think these treats are jsut the bee’s knees. Considering their size, I was initially concerned about the treat size being a little small, but turns out they could care less about that. With their durability and affordability, it’s become a staple for us.
However, as we all know, dogs can have sensitive stomachs – my Duke once had an upset tummy after indulging in too many at once. So now, it’s important to moderate their Milk-Bone consumption. But overall, these treats offer great value and get a big paws up from us!
I wonder if anyone has tried the different flavors? Our dogs seem most partial to the beef flavor but I’m curious what other pups prefer.
I’m glad to hear that your pup loves Milk-Bone treats! I got a small breed beagle last year and he’s the fussiest little guy when it comes to treats. I tried with Milk-Bone initially but he just played around with it, leaving it untouched. Then we discovered Blue Buffalo Mini Bars, and they were an instant hit! They are smaller in size and easier for him to chew which might be a reason why he took to them instantly.
Just like Milk-Bones, these too don’t make any health-related claims but my fur baby sure seems to love them. So if any dog owner out there is struggling with picky eaters, do give Blue Buffalo Mini Bars a shot – their apple and yogurt flavor is the top choice at my home! Has anyone else also had success with adopting these as an alternative to Milk-Bones? Would love to hear about your experience.
Oh Wellness treats, where do I start? My hound, Rufus the Great (Dane that is), devoured them so quick it’s like they vanished into thin air. Honestly, considering the price tag I kinda hoped they’d last a bit longer than a magic trick. Ever tried Bully Sticks? A bit sturdier and keeps old Rufus entertained for more than half a second. Plus, I gotta say, at least Miss Golden Retriever has Charlie fooled with these healthy treats…Rufus ain’t so gulliable! Anyone else play hide the health food with their furbabies or just me over here?
I’ve been using Wellness treats for about three years now with my Golden Retriever, Charlie. Initially, I was drawn in by their all-natural ingredients and the impressive variety they offer. On top of that, Charlie absolutely adores them! She sits right by the pantry door wagging her tail even before I’ve said “treat”. The size is perfect for training sessions too, not too big or small.
But on a somewhat critical note, the price point is a tad bit high in comparison to other natural dog treats available in the market. While I don’t mind shelling out a few extra coins for my gal’s happiness, it may feel less accessible to some owners? Maybe consider mixing in some more affordable yet nutritious alternatives if budget is a concern. Nonetheless, if you can afford it, Wellness treats are definitely worth trying!
Anyone else feels the same about the pricing? Or have other quality budget-friendly alternatives to suggest?
everyone, just thought I’d weigh in with my experience. My Dachshund-Terrier mix, Poppy, gets way too excited when she sees her Bocce Bakery treat bag! For smaller breeds like your Chihuahua, you might want to break the treats into smaller pieces – they are quite generously sized. However, I’ve found them easy enough to break apart. Price-wise, they’re a bit higher-end than regular dog treats but I personally find it’s worth it for the high-quality ingredients and my dogs’ happiness. As always, make sure there isn’t any ingredient your fur-baby could potentially be allergic to and for any food-related health issues, a quick vet visit is best! Anyone else tried these treats with smaller pups?
Couldn’t agree more with the praises about Yummy Combs. My Golden Retriever, Max, is obsessed with them! You know how some dogs just inhale their treats without even chewing? Not the case here, Max takes his sweet time gnawing on them and appears to love every minute of it. I appreciate the unique design which seems intended to promote dental health (but don’t forget, regular vet check-ups are a must). Yes, they’re tad pricier than your usual doggie bites but imo, worth every penny for seeing my bud’s tail wagging delight. Do you guys find they last long enough for your pups?
I’ve also jumped on the Canine Carry Outs bandwagon and I have to say, they definitely serve thier intended purpose as treats. My Aussie loves them and their size makes them great for training sessions. One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that they can be a tad hard. My pup didn’t seem to mind, but for dogs with dental issues, this might be something to think about.
For an alternative, we’ve tried Zuke’s Mini Naturals. They’re a bit softer and also come in several flavors my dog enjoys. Like the Canine Carry Outs, these are also perfect for training because of their small size. But of course, always keep an eye on your dog while they’re chowing down treats! Has anyone else tried out other soft treat options? We’re always on the lookout for variety over here!
Oh, I couldn’t agree more about the size issue with Pedigree’s dry dog food. Tried it with my Border Collie, Rex, and he just wasn’t into the chunky kibbles. Thought switching brands might help so we went for Nutro Ultra – smaller bites and all- natural ingredients at a similar price. Worked wonders for Rex – he laps his meals up now like there’s no tomorrow! But, it may vary from pooch to pouuch so consult your vet if you’re thinking of changing diets. Has anyone else found a great alternative to Pedigree?
I couldn’t agree more about Heart to Tail treats! My Shih Tzu, Daisy, is insatiable when it comes to these. They’re jsut the right size for smaller breeds, and the ingredients list has none of the ‘nasties’ I avoid for her diet. Price point? Absolute steel compared to what you pay for similar quality elsewhere. Only slightly weird thing was, she took a while to warm up to the duck flavored ones – guess she’s a chicken kinda gal. 😉 In any case, absolute win in my book. For those considering Heart to Tail as an option, Daisy and I give it two paws/thumbs up!
I’ve been using Hollywood Stars dog treats for my golden retriever, Max, and you’re right about the size! Initially, I was worried it would be too much for him. But Max simply loves them and ends up indulging in a good chew session, making them last longer. As per the price, I won’t say they are super cheap, but considering their size – it’s worth it. An added little bonus – it seems these treats are great to keep him busy when we’ve got company over or if I am tied up with work. Just always remember that even with treats as big as these, supervision is key. Anyone else tried these with large breeds? How was your experience?
Agree wholeheartedly with the ‘boulders’ description, folks! When I first introduced these Blue treats to my Boxer, Bruce, I had a really tough time breaking them into smaller pieces. He’s a big guy but sure did struggle initially. We got used to it eventually, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend these if you have a small breed or a puppy—they might just be too hard for them. It’s best to consult with a vet when introducing new foods to make sure they’re appropriate for your furkid’s size and health condition. Anyone has suggestions on softer, healthier alternatives?
Oh, sweet blessings of DreamBone treats – truly a godsend when it comes to busy chewers, eh? Can’t help but chuckle recalling my Dalmatian, Spot (real original name, I know), who could gnaw through anything from tennis balls to his infamous run-in with my new sneaker. The durability of these delightful morsels saved both my patience and property! A word to the wise though – ensure you get the size that’s appropriate for your pup. Those tiny ones may be cute but they won’t last five minutes with bigger doggos. Anyone else have funny chew-tales due to undersized treats?
Unfortunately, my dog Rex wasn’t much of a fan of Blue dog treats. He’s a finicky eater for sure. The size annd texture were fine, but I think it might have been the flavor that put him off. Meanwhile, my neighbor’s dog can’t get enough of these treats, so yea they’re definately not one-size-fits-all.
For those trying out these treats, do remember to introduce them slowly into your dogs’ diet. And if your fur baby doesn’t take to them, don’t worry about it; there are other great options out there. We’ve had good luck with the Zuke’s Mini Naturals dog treats – Rex loves the chicken recipe!
HAs anyone else had an experience like this with Blue? Or with transitioning to another treat brand successfully?
