Oh, Wag dry dog food… my Staffy, Bella, used to absolutely gobble it up! The kibble size was perfect for her medium-sized chops and she always seemed to enjoy the taste. Plus, I liked that it didn’t break the bank! Funny story – whenever we’d come home with a new bag, Bella would nudge it around with her nose like she was trying to open it herself. Always gave us a good laugh!
If your pooch has a selective palate or is a bit picky eater, it might be worth giving Wag a try. Of course, always consult your vet before making changes to their diet. To those of you who also had positive experiences with Wag dry dog food – were there particular flavors or varieties your dogs couldn’t get enough of?
Oh boy, I feel you on the Wag dry food journey. I’ve got two lovely border collies: Benny and Lucy. Both are incredibly picky eaters, so finding the right food is always a bit tricky.
Once I switched to Wag, however, both dogs took an immediate liking to it and their coats have honestly never looked better! The packaging is quite durable too. Once opened, it stays fresh for a good while – so you definitely get value for your hard-earned money.
Just a little tip from my experience though: it’s best to introduce any new food gradually to avoid digestive upsets. Start by mixing in small amounts with their current food, increasing the ratio steadily over seven days or so.
How about the other folks here? What was your experience like when transitioning your fur babies to this brand of food?
Oh, Heart to Tail treats, let me tell you, my golden retriever Susie is totally head over paws for them! Whoever’s been in charge of crafting these morsels surely knows the way to a dog’s heart. They’ve got the right size, easy for her to chew and not so tiny that they’re gone in an instant. The price? Not too shabby considering the quality and how durable the package is.
Just a heads up tho, when introducing these treats to your pooch, do it gradually and keep an eye on thier reactions since every dog is different. Got any other brand recommendations or quirky treat-related dog-tales to share? Would love to know more about what else Dick and Jane dogs out there are munching on!
Absolutely, the size of these Ol’ Roy treats realy takes you by surprise! When I first adopted my Rottweiler, Max, I decided to give them a shot. Given his build, I figured it’d be okay but even he seemed taken aback by the sheer size! Nonetheless, he grew to love them and they’re pretty durable too, which makes for long-lasting chewing sessions. For smaller breeds tho, maybe try breaking ’em into smaller pieces if you buy Ol’ Roy. It’s possibly a bit of extra effort but could be worth it considering the price. Does anyone else break up their treats? Or is there a preferable alternate that comes in varied sizes?
I absolutely agree with all the praise Ol’ Roy dog treats have been getting! My lab, Benny, goes nuts for them. They are a good size for him – not too small he might choke but not so large I feel like he’s getting another meal. And talk about durability! Benny works on those treats for a good few minutes before they’re gone, and I love that I can also use these treats as a training reward. The price isn’t half bad either, especially compared to some of the “premium” brands out there.
However, with the fun comes a bit of mess. Any other owners notice how these treats leave crumbs? Was thinking of giving Benny his next Ol’ Roy outdoors or maybe even during bath time to keep things tidy. Thoughts?
Just chiming in here to concur with everyone on the Wholehearted treats appeal. My obstinate Cocker Spaniel, Zoe, is notoriously picky when it comes to her snacks. Tried out the Wholehearted and she gobble them up like there’s no tomorrow! Besides enjoying them, I noted that they are perfectly-sized for training rewards and more affordable compared to some other brands out there. So yeah, Wholehearted treats are Zoe-approved, economically-friendly and don’t disappear in two seconds flat! Just curious, has anyone used these for advanced tricks training?
Totally agree that DreamBone treats are a hit in many households – mine included! After trying several cheesy Bargain Box options, we stumbled upon this gem. Not only did my fluffball Dalmatian pup gobble them up (size was no issue – big mouth, you see), but he also started listening even better during training sessions – score!
However, for folks with smaller breeds or new puppies, I suggest starting with something sized appropriately. Brands like “Tiny Tidbits” offer itty-bitty chews that can be less intimidating and easier to manage for these little mouths.
Just remember, every doggo is unique and may take to different treats. Experimenting might be key. Any other favorite snack suggestions for our canine friends?
Wow, I’m excited to see so many fans of Trekker’s Calming Dog Treats! My golden retriever Luna took instantly to these treats. Their size fits perfectly for a medium-sized dog like her annd she seems to love the taste. We’ve been using them during her agility training sessions and it’s made a noticeable difference in her performance.
A lot of you mentioned something that I noticed as well – they’re realy durable, especially compared to other calming treats. Luna’s quite the chewer and these treats keep her busy for longer periods.
Also, they’re so much more affordable than some overpriced brands without compromising quality. Honestly, for anyone still on the fence about trying Trekker’s, just give it a shot! Can’t go wrong with healthier ingredients and a happy pooch!
Does anyone else train their dogs while giving these treats? A curious strategy but it worked wonders for me.
I’ve got to chime in here with my two cents on Full Moon treats. I’ve got an old, fussy Basset Hound (Larry, bless his heart) who turns his snout up at pretty much anything. But Larry gobbles these treats right up! He’s never been one for the hard or overly chewy treats, so the soft texture of Full Moon hits just the right spot for him. Price-wise, they’re a touch pricier than what I’d generally spend, but hey, anything for Larry’s happiness and comfort. Just remember to check on the treat size while purchasing because they might be too large for smaller breeds – a mistake I made when I first started buying them for my Miniature Schnauzer.
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!
