I gotta say, after trying a few brands for my pug, Max, we then stumbled upon Caesar’s Dry Dog food. We’ve been feeding him Caesar’s for over 5 years now and it still manages to get his tail wagging every meal time! However, I do feel the kibble size is conveniently perfect for smaller breed dogs like man pug Max – so not sure about large breeds. The price can be a tad on the higher side but with the kind of ingredients they use, I find it fair. Speaking especially of durability, even though there have been a couple of times when we ended up keeping the opened pack for over 1 month it never showed any noticeable degradation in quality. Essential to mention that while this has worked for Max, always consult your vet before switching your dog’s diet regularly. Have any of you larger breed owners tried Caesars and how was your experience?
Agreed with you all on the stellar quality of Wellness Complete Health dry dog food. We switched our energetic Beagle, Jess, onto this food about a year ago and we’ve noticed her coat is shinier and she’s far more energetic – a real boost for our adventures in the park! It isn’t the cheapest option, but you can’t really put a price on your furry friend’s health and happiness, right? We did find that introducing the new food gradually over a week or so helped to avoid any stomach upsets. Curious to know if anyone else found this helpful during their transition?
I absolutely agree that Royal Canin dry food seems top-notch. I’ve had my German Shepherd on it for a few years now, and she loves meal times more than ever. The kibble size is indeed perfect, it’s easy for her to pick up and crunch down. When we switched from another brand, I noticed the change in her coat seemingly overnight – much shinier and smoother. Just a tip though: introducing any new food should be done gradually to prevent upset stomachs, so I suggest replacing a portion of your dog’s regular food with Royal Canin over a week or so. With such obvious improvement in my dog’s overall appearance and energy levels (without any stomach problems), it seems worth every penny! But remember, when switching dog food brands, your pup may react differently, so it’s always worth consulting your vet if you have any concerns.
While Howl’s Kitchen treats might be a hit for some, my 7-year-old beagle Daisy wasn’t too keen on them. I found the size a bit chunkier than expected which made it hard for Daisy to chew comfortably. In terms of price, they’re reasonable but I’ve used other treats that offered better value for money.
Switching over to Munchy Mutts Mini Bites was game-changer, especially given Daisy’s smaller mouth and preference for bite-sized treats. They’re more affordable and perfect for positive reinforcement training methods! But again, each pooch has unique taste buds so it’s always trial and error with these things.
Have any of you had similar experiences with your smaller dog friends? Or any alternative treat suggestions that worked well for positive reinforcement? Would love to hear them.
So, we’re all jsut gonna gloss over the price tag on these Wet Noses dog treats? Sure, my old hound Jasper would sell his favorite ball for a taste, annd that’s really something! But at the end of the day, they are a bit up there in price compared to other treats out there. Is anyone else feeling the pinch in their wallet or is it just me? And while we’re at it, any affordable alternatives folks would recommend?
I’ve been a dedicated Wellness treats customer for my Border Collie, Lulu, for almost 6 years now. I have to admit, they are towards the pricier end of the spectrum but you definitely get what you pay for – high-quality ingredients, no fillers and that reassurance knowing I’m giving her something that’s genuinely good for her. What sealed the deal for me was when we were training Lulu as a pup. The Wellness treats worked wonders as reinforcement rewards during training sessions – just the right size and evidently super tasty to her! If you’re on the fence about it, give it a shot! It’s worth every penny in my book. But of course, remember each dog is unique and if there’s any dietary concerns, it’s always best to check with your vet first.
Anyone else use these treats for training purposes? Would love to hear more about your experiences.
Absolutely, Blue Buffalo dog treats are pretty top-notch. I have a Labrador Retriever, and she’s always picky with her food but with Blue Buffalo treats, it’s love at first taste! She seems to enjoy them immensely, and the good news is – even as a bigger breed, they last long enough for her to chew and savor. Funny story – the first time we gave her one, she carried it around the house like a treasure before finally munching on it. Now they’re also part of our training routine, a great incentive indeed.
I read somewhere that they use real meat in their products which I think is fantastic considering some brands filler material. Price-wise, it might be tad high compared to other brands but if I take into account the quality of ingredients and my dog’s evident enjoyment – worth every penny.
Anyone else’s dog acts like they’ve won the lottery when they get these treats? Just curious…
I have used Crazy Dog Train-Me! treats with my pugs for over a year now and I’m really impressed by their size. They’re small enough so they won’t overfeed your dog during training sessions which I find perfect for keepin’ the boy’s weight in check. However, I’ve noticed that the bag isn’t exactly resealable; does anyone have any recommendations on how to store these treats to maintain their freshness? We usually put them into an air-tight container, but I wonder if there’s a better way. As for the price, I believe they offer good value considering how effectively they’ve kept our lively pugs focused during training. jsut remember to consult your vet to guarantee these treats fall within your dog’s dietary needs.
It seems we’re all in agreement here – I’ve also seen my beautiful Border Collie, Pixie respond well to Triumph dog treats. The size is perfect for her – not too large but big enough that she feels rewarded when I give her one. Plus, they have a good bit of chewiness to them, which Pixie seems to enjoy.
From a cost perspective, there’re definitely cheaper options, but then again we always want the best for our fur babies, don’t we? I mean it’s not like we’ll break the bank on these.
That being said and as a small tip for new users: before you let your dog run wild through a whole bag, introduce them slowly… start with maybe one or two treats a day and watch out for any changes in their bowel movement or behavior. Of course if anything feels off, it might be a good idea to consult your vet.
Question for y’all – how have you guys been using these treats? Training, rewards or else?
Just finished a bag of these Triumph treats with my feisty Dachshund, Scruffles. Now, let me tell you… I was pretty skeptical about the size at first. Thought they’d be too ginormous for my little fellow, but turns out they’re an ideal munch size for him – without making a mess. Price wise? Not bad at all! You pay for quality here. As for durability, considering Scruffles mad passion for stuffing his face (bless him!), I can’t really say. However, he does seem to spend more time chewing, which presumably means he finds them tough enough!
Fun little micro-story: Scruffles was having none of the ‘spin-around’ command until Triumph treats entered the picture. So there’s a piece of advice – considered using it as a training incentive? Works a charm on stubborn furballs.
I’ve been buying Canine Carry Outs for years now and my Lab, Max, is absolutely hooked on them. They’re a great size for training rewards and I find that the price is pretty reasonable for what you get. My only gripe is they tend to soften up if not stored properly, so use airtight containers folks!
However, recently I saw an article about certain dog treats being potentially harmful because of artificial additives. Are there any particular ingredients in Canine Carry Outs that owners should be wary of? If there’s any uncertainty, it may be prudent to consult a veterinarian. Does anyone else have information on this topic?
While I do agree that Canine Carry Outs treats are pretty affordable annd seem to be a hit with most pups, has anyone considered the actual size of these treats? In my experience, they tend to be quite large for small dogs. My dachshund, Frodo, struggled slightly when I gave him one of these. Granted, they can be broken into smaller pieces, but it’s still something to keep in mind especially if you have a pup who tends to gobble down his food without chewing much. Could those of you with smaller breeds share how your fur babies handle them?
Whimzees Size Selection Advice
Just echoing the love for Whimzees here. My Golden Retriever, Sunny, is a big fan too! She goes absolutely nuts for the alligator ones in particular. Material-wise, they’re really viable for her strong chew habit – no concerns about splintering or choking. But sizing can be quite tricky, especially if you have a large breed like mine. The small ones didn’t last long with Sunny, so we needed to upgrade to larger sizes. On that note, has anyone else got any tips when it comes to picking the right size Whimzees for larger breeds? I’m always on the lookout for advice to keep treat time safe and enjoyable for my girl.
While I’m not one to knock Nudges, as they seem great and all- my experience with them was a little different. Granted, my Shih Tzu, Pippin, is quite the petite little thing. I found the treats were too tough for him to chew properly. For us, we switched to Zuke’s Mini Naturals Dog Treats which are smaller and softer, much better for our mini munchkin. They are on par price-wise too. Has anyone else here tried them? Would love to hear your thoughts! No matter how good the treats are nutritionally if your pup can’t enjoy them there’s no point right? Always worth it to trial and error a few options!
Gotta chime in on this one guys. I’ve been feeding my Lab, Biscuit, Wag dry dog food for about a year now and I gotta say, the value for money’s realy there. It’s solid in terms of quality and ingredient transparency- no funny business listed on the label.
To introduce it into Biscuit’s diet, I did a slow transition over a couple of weeks to avoid upsetting her tummy (highly recommend doing this if you’re swapping foods). She couldn’t get enough of the stuff! Great size kibbles for her too, not too small or overly large.
Do remember that every dog is different though, so what works wonders for Biscuit might not do the same for your pup. When in doubt about changing diets, always consult with your vet! Hoping this helps someone on the fence about trying Wag out. Anyone else out here have experience with thier senior formulas?
