Totally jumping on the Greenies bandwagon here! My golden retriever, Max, has been snacking on them for years and he just can’t get enough. I was initially skeptical about the size – I mean they look so small for big dogs like Max – but turns out they’re perfect nibble-size treats and last longer than expected. Plus, it’s quite affordable considering the durability and quality.
As for a little secret from our household, I’ve incorporated Greenies into our training time as rewards and it’s worked wonders. Maybe anyone new to dog parenting might want to give this trick a try too? Do your dogs have any funny reactions or habits around their Greenie time?In my humble opinion, the Pet Pride dog treats haven’t completely won me over just yet. I have a golden retriever named Bella and she’s somewhat fussy when it comes to treats. Sure, they’re affordable and easily accessible at local grocery stores, but the size is a bit too small for larger breeds like Bella. It doesn’t keep her engaged as much as I would like.
Now, instead of Pet Pride, I’ve found success with Rover’s Roast beef cubes. They’re made from real meat and no artificial fillers, significantly larger in size, and Bella can’t resist them! And while they are a bit pricier, the ingredient list alone sold me – it’s worth my pup’s happiness.
But does anyone else have fussier dogs? Maybe it isn’t about the treat size but what’s inside them that counts? Thoughts?
Yesterday, I decided to give the Old Mother Hubbard dog treats a shot for my pooch. To be completely honest, they aren’t exactly the most economical option out there and I was quite disappointed with the size of the biscuits. They’re much smaller than what I imagined and not particularly durable. Anyone else find these treats breaking into pieces too easily? Just wondering if I should give them another try or perhaps switch to a different brand. Any suggestions for bigger and sturdier dog treats?
Agreed. Stewart dog treats are a hit at our house too! My Bruno is a medium-sized fella and these treats are the perfect size for him, not too big, not too small. And it’s apparent that the company uses quality ingredients; he gobbles them up faster than any others we’ve tried. A bit on the pricey side but I’d say they’re absolutely worth it for the joy they bring to my pup. Does anyone have tips on where to find the best deals on them?
For anyone wondering if these might be a good fit for their pooch, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Just remember to introduce any new food items slowly into your dog’s diet and observe for changes – and of course, always consult a professional if your pet seems unwell following dietary changes.
Interesting to hear all the varied responses on Happy Hips. I’ve been using them with my Border Collie, Max, for around 6 months or so now. I find the size of these treats perfect for training sessions and they seem to be quite durable. However, has anyone noticed if they crumble or become tricky to handle in hot weather condition? Here in Texas where it’s often quite warm, I carry them around in a small pouch during our long walks and noticed a bit of crumbling last summer. Wondering if it’s just me or is this something others have encountered? Especially considering thier price, would want them to hold up well. Any insights? If it’s a common problem perhaps I should look into alternatives. As always, I’d consult my vet before introducing any new treats into Max’s diet though.
I have to jump in here and share my two cents on The Bear and The Rat treats. With around 18 years of canine companionship under my belt, I’ve come across quite a lot of dog food products, but this one stands out for me. At first glance, these treats really tick all the boxes – they’re a comfortable size for both small and larger breed dogs, but what completely won me over is their composition. Made with top-tier ingredients, it’s clear the manufacturers prioritize our furry friends’ health.
Admittedly however, these are not exactly cheap treats when you look at the price per unit. Yet if your budget allows and if you often manage to score one during a sale (like I do!), it’s a worthy expenditure considering the joy and nutrition it provides for our pups.
On a lighter note, let me recount a quick anecdote about my golden retriever, Dicky. A pretty selective eater he is Dicky – gives me side-eyes for even the faintest change in his kibble brand. But with “The Bear and The Rat”, there were no such complaints! It surprisingly became an instant hit right from day one; watching him eagerly pounce at every treat toss has been a real delight to see!
But always remember guys, regardless of what kind of food or treats you give your pets, regularly consulting your veterinarian for diet consultation is key for maintaining optimal health.
