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?
My Lab Loved NutriSource Treats, But Don’t Forget to Check Size
Body: I can definitely relate to those of you with large dogs. My Labrador, Bella, can chew through most treats in seconds flat. NutriSource is a game changer though – not only do they last longer, but she also really enjoys them! The size and durability are great for big breeds and they’re reasonably priced compared to other premium treats on the market. Just make sure to check the treat size before purchasing for your own canine companion. Bella is a medium-sized Lab and some Nutrisource treats were a bit larger than expected. Overall, absolutely a good buy for us!.
Wow, NutriSource dog treats. Now, there’s a trip down memory lane! My gentle giant, Hank – a Saint Bernard if you will, was absolutely bonkers for these treats. The size of these nibbles are perfecto, especially for the big boys and girls out there with a major chew drive. Believe me they’re durable enough to give ’em a good gnawing session, yet not as tough as rawhide. Price wise… well they ain’t cheap, but then Hank would tell ya that quality has a price tag (if he could talk, I should say!).
Story time: I remember this one day we were training in the park; he wouldn’t even sniff at any other treat once he had been spoiled with NutriSource! It surely made getting him learning those new tricks much easier.
Got a tip from yours truly – always have fresh water around when treat-time rolls around. You know, just cause of how thirsty they can get after savory snackin’.
Anyone else find that these treats were absolute game changers in their training routine?
Ah, the famed DreamBone treats – a true canine classic. With my rambunctious Riott, a hyperactive Border Collie with an appetite bigger than his bark, these treats have become a household godsend. His favorite is the peanut butter variety; he’s practically do a backflip for those things! The size is perfect for medium sized dogs and the texture seems to tickle him pink. Can’t beat the price tag either considering the high quality of ingredients. Just remember friends: moderation is key with any doggie delicacies as too much of a good thing can upset their tummy. When in doubt, always check with your vet!
Absolutely love DreamBone treats for my Boston Terrier! Their size fits her small mouth perfectly and she always goes bonkers when she hears the bag rustling. Not only are they long-lasting, but the price point is pretty affordable too. Plus, knowing that these chews are packed with vitamins makes me feel great about treating my furbaby. Just a word of advice – if your dog is like mine, don’t leave the bag within their reach! I once made that mistake and came home to find an empty bag and one very satisfied terrier. 😄 Has anyone else’s pup had a funny “treat stealing” episode?
I totally agree with the comments on the size of Blue dog treats! My bulldog, Bruno, also had trouble with them at first because they were quite a bit larger than what he was used to. What worked for us though was breaking them down into smaller pieces. They’re actually pretty easy to break apart and it made it more manageable for him. Plus, I like that they feel substantial and have less filler stuff compared to other treats out there. It’s not exactly cheaper, but overall a good choice if you’re willing to do a bit of extra work for your fur buddy. Anyone else doing the same thing?
Just echoing all the praises for Aldi’s dog treats! I’ve got a cuddly Golden Retriever that tends to be quite picky with her treats, yet she always enjoys Aldi’s. The size is just right for her, and the fact that they don’t turn into a crumbly mess in my pockets is an absolute bonus. The price point is perfect too; top value without compromising quality. Here’s a little nugget of advice though – make sure you store them properly to maintain their freshness! Has anyone else had particularly good experiences with them, or any other bargain treats we should know about?
I’ve gotta hand it to ya, I completely agree with your review on Wholehearted dog treats. My pug, Mugsy, is a picky eater but he’s been gobbling these up like there’s no tomorrow! They’re just the right size for his petite mouth and they don’t crumble all over.
We started using them as training bribes and boy did it work like a charm. Tip for folks with smaller dogs – break ’em in half for training sessions. Less treat intake yet it still gets their attention! Price wise, they’re quite fair too compared to some of the fancier stuff in pet stores.
Only slight concern I had was Mugsy’s digestion after introducing them (don’t want pupgo upset tummies now do we?). A quick chat with our vet assured me they weren’t an issue. Just a gentle reminder though – always check with a professional if you notice any changes after introducing new foods/treats to your fur-babies.
So, anyone else have a story about their pups loving Wholehearted?
I’m definitely part of the Full Moon fan club too. My border collie, Max, is usually a bit fussy about his treats, but he’s taken to these like duck to water. I really love that they are grain-free, which works wonders with Max’s sensitive tummy – also the fact that they’re made with real meat and are free from those pesky artificial fillers.
Sure enough, they’re not the cheapest option on the market but in my opinion, it’s well worth it for a quality treat. Pro tip: Consider dividing the pieces up if you have a smaller pooch or you’re mindful of treat portion sizes. Just be ready for those pleading puppy dog eyes asking for more!
Is anyone else’s fur friend as obsessed with the chicken flavor as Max is?
Gotta say, those Full Moon treats are a big hit with my Maltipoo, Bella. She’s on the smaller side so I appreciate that they’re not too large for her petite mouth. But let me tell ya, make sure you seal them up tight back in the bag or else you’ll get a scenario like mine: Bella nosed open the pantry and discovered them herself – treat-self-service! And as far as cost goes, they’re certainly not the cheapest option out there, but hey, seeing Bella’s wagging tail when she gets one makes it worth every penny. Anyone else had thier pooch turn into Houdini over these treats?
