I gotta jump on the bandwagon here. I have a four year old Golden named Daisy and she’s kinda fussy with her treats. Tried Pet Pride becuase hey, the price is fantastic…and we all know those treat costs can add up! Daisy wasn’t really enthusiastic about them though. And they also seemed a bit hard for her to chew. I think these might be better suited for dogs that enjoy a tougher chew or are perhaps a tad less picky than my sweet girl. They do seem pretty durable, but Daisy typically prefers something a little softer and tastier. Anyone else find this situation with thier furbabies?
Couldn’t agree more with everyone about the Fromm dog treats! I’ve been using them myself for a good few years with my Border Collie. They’re not only nutritous but also the perfect size for training sessions, allowing us to practice several commands without overfeeding. My pup just can’t seem to get enough of them! Plus, their durability means they don’t crumble in your pocket like some other brands I’ve tried. Worth every penny, in my opinion. Anybody else use them specifically for on-the-go training?
Just wanted to share my two cents on the Old Mother Hubbard dog treats. I’ve been using them for my German Shepherd, Bella, for about a year now. The size is just right for her, and I’d say they’re reasonably priced when you look at the quality.
However, these treats can be a bit tough in terms of hardness. In fact, I remember Bella had some difficulty chewing on one when I first introduced it to her. So, if your dog prefers softer snacks, they might take a while to adjust to these.
That being said, Bella absolutely loves the flavor! And they’ve been excellent as training treats. But remember, always observe how your dog responds to new treats and food items – if there are any issues or changes in behavior, it’s best to consult with your vet. Any other folks have experience with thier pups adjusting to the hardness of these treats?
While it’s clear that there’s lots of love for the Stewart dog treats in this corner of the dog-owner world, I feel like I need to bring attention to another great option. In my experience of 14 years with pups, I’ve come across Cloud Star Crunchy Tricky Trainers. They come in a similarly bite-sized form which is perfect for small dogs or training rewards, plus they’re nicely priced too.
My labrador, Buddy, was initially super into Stewarts but eventually seemed less enthusiastic. When we swapped to Cloud Start Tricky Trainers, his interest spiked again! Maybe it was the change itself or perhaps he prefers their flavor. Either way, variety seems key in keeping Buddy engaged.
However, remember that all dogs are different – what works for Buddy might not work for every pup. It’s always worthwhile trying out a few different treats until you find your fur baby’s favourite.
It’s interesting reading the different reactions to Happy Hips. For me annd my Shih Tzu, Pookie, it’s like a godsend. She’s super picky about her treats, but she took to these immediately. Remember, the size especially matters when it comes to small breed dogs. I cut down one treat into three pieces to set portions for her throughout the day. It saves me some pennies too! However, understand every dog has unique tastes & digestion preferences, so always introduce new treats slowly and always keep clean water readily available. And if any concerns come up, consult with your vet sooner rather than later.
Totally agree with you folks on the love for Iams Dry Dog Food. I’ve personally been a fan ever since our family’s energetic Aussie, Dexter, refused anything else we presented to him – quite the fussy eater he was! He simply loves his kibbles and it’s a joy to see him attack his food bowl each time. I found that it’s great value for money too especially when you consider the quality ingredients they use and the serving size needed. For newcomers, I suggest introducing the food gradually over a week or so just so your pup gets accustomed to its new diet. Also, remember that every dog is unique so keep an eye out for any changes in appetite or behavior while switching food – consult a vet if in doubt!
Has anyone tried the Iams Proactive Health line? Curious to know what your pups think of those flavors!
