Well, well, in my nearly two decades of playing fetch, grooming, and serving as the perennial poop-scooper for my motley crew of furry friends, I thought I’d seen it all! Then along came Aldi dog treats. Picked a pack up on a whim – the price was hard to ignore- and boy, what an unexpected surprise. As for size, they’re perfect for both my regal Retriever and puckish Pomeranian. Somehow manages to tempt the picky palate of poodles to the ravenous Rottweilers – quite a feat I tell ya!
While these aren’t the sturdiest of chews (don’t expect them to double as dental cleaners or occupy your pups for hours), they do seem to have a Homer-Simpsonesque “Mmm, donuts” effect on my lot. They practically levitate at the rustle of the packet!!
In terms of nutrition though, remember they are treats, not main sources of sustenance. Always balance out with wholesome food. Any tummy troubles – straight to the vet you go!
Just outta curiosity… anyone else got furry kids who think these are manna from heaven? Or got any DIY dog treat recipes?
Totally see why you’re loving DreamBone Dog treats – they are incredibly popular in the canine world! However, I personally prefer using Yak Snak Dog Chews for my energetic Lab. They’re all-natural, long-lasting and perfect for dogs who are strong chewers (if you’ve got a Lab, you know what I mean!). Even better, they don’t splinter like some other treats out there. Just make sure to keep an eye on your dog while he’s chewing on them. Anyone else tried these yet? Let me know your thoughts if you have!
I have to chime in as I’ve been using DreamBone treats for my 7-year-old Boxer for over a year now. Absolutely agree about the size being just right for medium-sized breeds, too. However, if you’re on a tight budget, these may not be the best choice, they can run a bit high compared to other stuff out there. But one thing is undeniable – their durability. My Boxer had always been quite an aggressive chewer and many dog treats would not stand a chance! With DreamBones though, it’s a different story. Even after hours of frenzied gnawing, those things still maintain their shape and keep him occupied which is something I value greatly, gives me some peace and quiet for a while! If you’ve got an eager chewer like mine, they could possibly fit the bill perfectly. Just remember, always supervise when you first introduce new treats. Though not an issue for me, every dog’s digestive system handles new foods differently so monitor them the first few times around.
Compelling conversation going on here and I can’t help but chime in! I’ve been a dog dad for just over two decades now and my Golden Retriever, Daisy, and I have tried our fair share of treats. We recently tried out Fresh Kisses Dog Treats as well and Daisy absolutely loves them. They’re a good size—just right for her to chew but not so small that she might choke. One slight downside though is the price; they are a bit on the pricier side compared to other treats we’ve used. As an alternative, you could consider making your own dog treats if you’re on a budget or prefer to completely control what ingredients your fur baby is consuming. Has anyone else tried this? What were your experiences with homemade treats?
Absolutely concur with the high praise for Greenies dog treats! I’ve had my Lab, Bailey chomping on these for a good while now. They come in several size options, which is super helpful, especially as she’s a rather large pooch. Durability has never been an issue as they seem to withstand her vigorous chewing session pretty well.
In terms of cost, Greenies may seem pricey compared to other treats but the quality truly shines through and justifies it. If you give them during training sessions, they work wonders because dogs really seem to appreciate the taste and texture. Just be sure not to overdo it – moderation is still key even with treats that have added health benefits!
Have any one else found their dogs’ overall energy level seems improved after introducing Greenies? Bailey certainly seems to have more pep in her step after she started having them regularly. Might just be a coincidence, but wanted to hear other owners’ perspectives on this! Be mindful though – if you see dramatic changes in your dog behavior or health, better reach out to your vet just to be safe.
I’ve got to say, I have a slightly different experience with Ollie’s dry dog food. My Border Collie, Rocket, is usually picky about his food, but he took to Ollie pretty quick. The small kibble size was perfect for him and the ingredient label looks great – no questionable content. But I did notice the bag isn’t resealable which is a bummer – ended up using clips to keep it fresh. On the price aspect, it’s not exactly budget-friendly especially if you’re feeding multiple dogs. Anyone else noticed these things or just me? Also wondering if there’s any other high-quality, lower-cost alternatives you guys would suggest?
I’ve got to say, my beagle, Baxter, loves the Good Lovin’ too, particularly the chicken flavor! However, I found that they were bit on the large size for him. I started breaking them into smaller pieces which seemed to help. Also, while the price is somewhat steep per bag, you’re really getting what you paid for in terms of quality. Is anyone else doing something similar or has tried a different but just as high-quality treat? Just curious for Baxter’s sake!
I’ve been giving my Labrador, Max, the Good Lovin’ treats for a few months now and he is absolutely smitten with them. They’re the perfect size for larger breeds and seem to be made of quality ingredients. I particularly appreciate how durable they are; Max is quite a powerful chewer and these treats hold up under his enthusiastic gnawing. Price-wise, they may be a bit more expensive than some other brands, but in my experience, it’s worth it for the quality you’re getting. One tip I’d suggest – introduce these treats slowly if your pup has a sensitive tummy to avoid any digestive issues. Anywho, in Max’s view – and mine – Good Lovin’ treats are definitely worth the hype! Keep us updated on how Daisy and Bella enjoy them!
