Oh, absolutely agreed on the Happy Hips dog treats. I have two Dalmatians who are known for their love for food and they just devour these so eagerly. I specifically love the size – they’re quite substantial, making them great rewards for training sessions. Plus, they’re pretty durable too! They don’t crumble easily unlike some other brands we’ve tried before (won’t be naming names and souring this post though!). The price may be a touch above average, but considering the high quality and how much my Dalmis adore them, it’s a value in my opinion.
Just a word of caution to those introducing their furries to these treats: maybe start off with smaller bits until you’re sure their digestion handles it well. Even though my dogs have cast-iron stomachs, I always take a cautious approach with new food items.
I’d definitely recommend any dog-owner out there to give ’em a go! Curious to know – do any of you guys use them as meal supplements occasionally or strictly stick with them as treats?
Experience: My Fido absolutely loves these Stewart dog treats! He’s a tough one to please, but from the first bite, he seemed to be utterly smitten. I appreciated that they are made of 100% pure freeze-dried liver – it appeases my penchant for healthier treats. They’re sized perfectly for his medium-sized mouth and he can chew through them smoothly – no worries about choking.
Advice: One little tip is that they do have a strong aroma—akin to real liver. If you have a sensitive nose, be sure not to leave the bag open too long!
Question: Has anyone tried using these as training rewards? I’m starting obedience classes with Fido soon and wondering if they’d make effective motivators.
Agreement: I completely agree with the original poster about the price; they run a bit pricier than some other options on the market. However, seeing how much my pooch enjoys them, I’d say they’re worth every penny!
Alternative: For those looking at more budget-friendly options, Zuke’s Mini Naturals Dog Treats could be a good alternative. They’re smaller in size but work equally well as rewards or simple treats. I’d love to hear anyone’s take on them vs the Stewart treats!
Absolutely agree with you about Happy Hips dog treats. I’ve been using them for my golden retriever, Simba, for about a year now and he practically does backflips when he hears the bag crinkle! The size of the treats is just perfect, they’re big enough to keep him satisfied but small enough so that it doesn’t ruin his meals. They hold up pretty good in durability too, not like some other brands that would crumble just from being in your pocket. These are worth every penny if you ask me.
Now this may sound weird, but I noticed that they can make your fingers a bit greasy after handling them. A good old-fashioned napkin comes handy in such times, nothing too concerning though!
But hey, have any of you guys tried their Duck Jerky flavor? Would love to hear thoughts on that!
Just wanted to jump in on this thread about Happy Dog Dry Food. I’ve been feeding my German Shepherd, Luna, this food for quite some time now and she absolutely adores it! She’s been thriving on it, and her coat appears glossier than ever. But I’ve noticed the kibble size is slightly larger compared to other dry foods. Has anyone else noticed this with their pups? Does your dog struggle to eat it or do they enjoy the challenge of bigger kibble pieces? Love to get some feedback on this aspect!
Totally get where all of you are coming from with the Alpo Prime Cuts dry food. I have a Beagle named Daisy and she wasn’t a fan either; barely even sniffed it before deciding to walk away. From a dog owner’s perspective, I did appreciate the size of the kibble pieces – not too small, not too big, seemed just right for medium-sized pooches like mine. But at the end of the day, palatability matters a lot when it comes to food, right? Luckily no health issues noted but quickly switched to another brand after Daisy’s reaction. She now enjoys Hill’s Science Diet Adult Advanced Fitness formula and seems to absolutely love it! Always remember what our dogs prefer can sometimes be trial and error. If your pup is finicky about this one, maybe consider trying another option. And if there are any digestion problems or pickiness that worries you, definitely worth checking in with the vet’s office.
