Well, we tried Heart to Tail too for our Great Dane, Bruno. As much as the natural ingredients appealed to me, Bruno seems to have a different opinion. He sniffed it once and then completely lost interest. The smaller size of these treats also didn’t seem to attract this large fella as much as the grossly oversized ones from other brands do. So, if you have a larger dog that loves monster-sized treats like Bruno does, you might want to consider options with larger proportions. We switched over to Old Mother Hubbard’s Large dog biscuits which are not only big in size but are also filled with all-natural ingredients. A win-win- Bruno happy, mom happy! Any other suggestions for natural large-size treats?
Agree 100% with the size issue! I tried the DIngo treats with my Maltese mix, who’s not exactly the biggest dog on the block either. He struggled to get through one of those ginormous treats, which was kind of a downer, especially since he seemed to love the taste.
I ended up breaking them into smaller pieces, which worked pretty well – he still got to enjoy his treat without any struggle. Though, it’d be so much better if they would offer various sizes to suit smaller breeds too.
Has anyone else been breaking them up, or maybe found a different brand that offers similar taste in a bite-sized format?
I couldn’t agree more about the size of these Ol’ Roy dog treats. They’re absolutely perfect for my big fella, a Saint Bernard named Cooper. Coop’s a pretty picky eater but he goes nuts for them – even learnt to ‘sit’ quicker in anticipation of his favorite treat! The value for money is another big plus! The price is great and these treats last awhile, reducing frequent trips to the store. But like always, keep an eye on their intake, don’t want them getting too chunky! However, if you have smaller dogs or pets with dietary requirements, it might be worth consulting with your vet on suitable treat options. Anyone else with giant breeds noticed how much their dogs love these?
Well, as a proud dad of two rambunctious Border Terriers with a never-ending appetite, I couldn’t resist trying these Hollywood Stars treats either. Got to admit, they’re massive! You could easily think you’re treating your doggos with a full meal! Once, I gave my boys one each before heading off to pick up the Sunday papers. Returned to them peacefully napping on the couch, belly-up and smiles wider than an Oscar winner’s!
In terms of their price, sure they can be considered pricey but it’s a luxury treat and sometimes our four-legged buddies deserve it too, you know? Definitely wouldn’t suggest these as an everyday reward though. As for the material and durability – well folks, lets just says if chewability was an Olympic sport, these treats would get gold!
As a tip – I prefer breaking em down into smaller bits for training purposes or to make ’em last longer. That might solve fellow Yorkie owner’s issue maybe?
Those with mini breed dogs like Shih Tzus or Yorkies ever tried supplementing their diet with smaller-sized treats? Which ones did you find worked best without being so oversized? Do share!
I’ve also been using Wholehearted treats for a while now. Our golden retriever Bruno seems to be quite fond of them and quickly responds to commands anticipating his tasty reward. Love their size to be honest, they’re small enough that I can give him a few during our training sessions without overfeeding him. However, I’ve had some trouble with the packaging, it doesn’t seem very durable so storing after opening can be bit of a hassle. Does anyone else has this experience, or perhaps any suggestions for better storage options?
Totally on the same page about Wholehearted dog treats! They’ve been a hit in my house too, especially with our chocolate lab, Bruno. He can be really picky with his snacks, but he chows down on these like there’s no tomorrow. Plus, the treat size is perfect for his rather large mouth to avoid any potential choking. For those with smaller pooches, you might wanna pay attention to the size tho and maybe break ’em down a little bit. But beyond that, thumbs up for being so budget-friendly considering thier quality! Anyone else find they’re dogs are preferring these over other high-end treats?
Couldn’t agree more about the ideal size of Full Moon treats. My Goldendoodle, Daisy, loves them too. However, don’t overlook the crumb situation that comes with this treat. Every time Daisy has her mouthful, she leaves quite a mess around which can be tedious to clean up. It might help to feed your pooch these treats outside or over an easy-to-clean floor mat. Just my two cents from my experience with these goodies.
Oh, boy, Full Moon treats? Tell me about it! My pug, Flossy, could probably power a small city with the energy she gets from those things. Nice size for her little mouth and they actually seem to last longer than other treats we’ve tried. Material seems more durable and firm which is great for her teeth, I guess. Paid through the nose at the boutique downtown though…anyone know where to get them on discount? FYI, if your pup has sensitive tummy issues you might wanna consult your vet first before switching treats.
I’ve been a dog owner for almost two decades now and I too have tried Greenies with my smart Border Collie, Scout. Don’t get me wrong, they’re great treats and Scout usually enjoys them. I would like to point out though that they can be a bit expensive and the size of the treat doesn’t last for a substantially long time. In my personal experience, I found Bully Sticks as a cost-effective but also enjoyable alternative for Scout. Always important to remind folks, it’s best to consult with your vet before introducing any new treats into your pet’s diet. Anyone tried Bully Sticks too?
I’ve got a bit of a different take on the Nutro treats. While it’s great that they’re cost-effective and available in various sizes, I found them to be somewhat crumbly for my Cocker Spaniel, Daisy. Maybe she’s a little too enthusiastic about treat time, but we ended up with quite the mess to clean up afterward. For me, durability is key so she can enjoy her goodies without leaving half of it on the floor.
I’d recommend trying out less crumbly alternatives; you might have to pay a bit extra, but it could save you from an unexpected cleaning spree! Just remember always to keep monitoring your fur-buddy’s reactions when trying new treats – what doesn’t work for one dog might be perfect for another. And consult with your vet if there are any changes in thier behavior or health. Our pups are unique after all – isn’t that why we love them?
I’m also a big fan of Fromm treats, they’ve been a regular part of my Labradoodle, Teddy’s, diet. He is on the larger side and even then, we find these treats last him a good while during training sessions. Makes it less likely he’ll gobble them up in one go like some other treat brands we’ve tried before. But my real win with Fromm’s is their ingredient list- seems pretty clean to me and Teddy digests them well. The price point might be slightly higher than some other options but personally, I believe in investing in good quality food products for my doggo. Totally worth every penny if you ask me! If anyone’s thinking about trying them out but worried about the cost, maybe think of it as an investment for your fur kid’s health in the long run?
Absolutely agree about your take on Fromm dog treats. My German Shepherd, Max, can’t seem to get enough of them. I was initially hesitant about the price tag but after seeing how crazy Max goes for them, all my doubts vanished into thin air. They’re bigger in size compared to his previous nibbles which last him a whole lot longer.
However, you mentioned your pup having some digestion difficulties afterward. It’s interesting because Max never had those issues after switching to Fromm. I wonder if it could be specific to certain dog breeds or dietary preferences? Have you tried consulting your vet? They might provide some helpful insights into this.
By the way, anybody else noted that these treats do wonders for bad breath? A reason more for me to stick with ’em!
Absolutely joining the chorus of Stewart dog treats fans here! I have a feisty little Jack Russel, notorious for turning his nose up at most treats, but he absolutely adores these stewarts. The bite-sized pieces are perfect for someone like him whose small size doesn’t deter his huge personality. Plus the resealable bag? Genius in my book; keeps ’em fresh and tasty. No more dealing with stale treats here! So yup, big thumbs up from this corner for Stewart dog treats!. Has anyone else noticed their dog showing more enthusiasm during training sessions when these treats are involved?
I have to admit, my Goldendoodle pup loves Grandma Lucy’s treats. The size is excellent for training sessions; not too big that he gets full too fast, yet satisfying enough to keep his interest peaked. One thing I’ve noticed, however, is that they can be a bit crumbly – well, at least when they’re handled by over-excited puppy paws! For smaller pups or those on a stricter diet, always consider a dog’s overall calorie intake and portion these accordingly. The price does lean towards the high end, but in my opinion, it is absolutely worth it considering the quality and how much my fur baby enjoys them!
So, you’re talking about Happy Hips, huh? Well, let me tell ya something. My Bulldog, Gertie, isn’t very picky but she snubbed Happy Hips dog treats like they were last month’s kibble. They are a bit pricey in comparison to others out there and the size wasn’t the best fit for her grande jaws. So if you have a large breed, maybe consider that. Plus side – durability is quite something; those things survived several rounds of ‘hide & seek’ around the house (a game we play where I hide treats and she finds them). If your pooch is a petite one with a love for long-lasting snacks, sure! Give ’em a go. But those things are getting dusty here with my ol’ Gertie! Consult with a vet if you have any concerns about dietary changes and always monitor new foods/treats.
