In my experience as a dog owner for the past ten years, I’ve tried Good Lovin’ treats myself annd they seem to be really hit or miss depending on the dog. My labrador Cooper isn’t picky and absolutely adored them, polished off a bag in no time! On the other hand, my little terrier Daisy was completely uninterested. They’re definitely on the affordable side, which is a plus, and seems to be of high quality judging by their ingredients. Has anyone seen a pattern in which breeds or temperaments might be more into these treats? Would love to compare notes here!
I agree that Pet Pride isn’t the best option out there. Despite their fairly affordable price, the treats are pretty large size-wise. My Pomeranian, Lily, struggles to chew them properly which was a bit concerning for me. I had to chop them into smaller pieces to make it easier for her. So perhaps if you have a smaller breed like mine, this might not be a good pick unless you’re willing to do some extra prep work. I’ve found that Zuke’s Mini Naturals works well for smaller dogs and they really seem to enjoy them too. Always worth checking with your vet before changing diet though!
Well, hats off to everyone singing praises for Happy Dog Dry Food. I gotta say, my experience sings a different tune. I moved Buster, my five-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, onto the Happy Dog stuff and it wasn’t pretty. The food bits are just too small for his jaws and the dish was constantly a mess – food shooting out left and right with each enthusiastic chomp. Not to mention that it’s not exactly easy on the wallet if you catch my drift. After three chaotic weeks, I switched him over to “Big Chompers Supreme” dry food; larger pieces designed for broader-jaw breeds. Life’s been less messy since, and my bank account is happier too! Of course, every dog’s different so you might have a different luck. But always consider size & breed specificity before committing to a brand, folks! Anybody else here has experience with “Big Chomper Supreme”?
Been snacking my 3 Boxers on Plato Dog Treats for several years now and trust me, they’re never short of excitement when they hear me popping that bag open! Love the quality-quantity ratio these treats offer without being outrageously priced. One day, I took out a treat and pretended to eat it. My oldest boxer Blaze made such a comical sad face, I almost felt guilty! Quick tip to new users, if you have multiple dogs, make sure you’re giving equal attention while distributing. Those cute doggy eyes can make anyone feel like they’re playing favorites. Just remember each dog has its own personality and way of reacting to treats! Have any of you tried this sneaky trick with your dog to see their reactions? Share your stories!
Couldn’t agree more with the love for Iams Dry Dog Food! We’ve been feeding it to our pug for a good 3 years now. The small kibble size is just right for his little mouth, and we’ve noticed his coat looks shinier too. One tip I learned along the way was introducing a new food gradually over several days by mixing it in with their old food, to help them adjust. This really helped when we first switched over. But as always, if you have concerns about your dog’s diet do check in with your vet.
Oh, so I’m not the only one experiencing the ‘Alpo Prime Cuts standoff’ with my pooch! My stubborn Shih Tzu, Daisy, literally did a sniff annd walk away routine when I first introduced Alpo Prime Cuts to her. Even enticed with a little bit of cheese sprinkled on top (her favorite), she simply wasn’t having it. With the price being quite affordable compared to some other brands, I honestly had high hopes that this would become our new go-to. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
Anyone else try any luck by mixing Alpo Prime Cuts with another brand? If so, what kind? Can’t help but wonder if there’s some kibble out there that might play nice with these prime cuts. Meanwhile, looking to find another nourishing yet budget-friendly substitute for Daisy. Suggestions welcomed!
Well, talk about all bark and no bite. Tried giving my Golden Retriever, Zeus, Alpo Prime Cuts Dry Dog Food, big mistake! It’s bulky chunks were a total turn off for Zeusy- he had trouble even chomping down on them. I ended up wasting more money than saving with this “affordable” choice, because we threw out half the bag.
Funny thing, though- the neighborhood raccoons loved it! So, if you’re really looking to adopt a racoon army… this could be your golden ticket. Serious tip: For the pickier eaters like my Zeus, try switching it up sometimes. Different flavors or switching between dry and wet food can do wonders.
Anyone else have a fussy Fido when it comes to kibble size? Or were you lucky with a pup that swallows everything whole like a vacuum cleaner?
