I absolutely concur with your positive feedback on Stewart dog treats as well. I have a large Akita named Rocky, and they’ve worked wonders for me during our obedience training sessions. One thing I really appreciate about these treats is their size – not too small for my big guy, but easy enough for him to quick gobble down post-trick; absolutely perfect during those times when rapid-repeat rewards are crucial. They also don’t leave a greasy residue, which is a plus. When it comes to price though, they’re a bit on the costly side compared to some other high-quality treat options in the market, but thankfully Rocky seems to think it’s worth every penny! Has anyone had experiences using this brand for any of their puzzle toys?
there! I too have been using Fruitables for my high-energy Border Collie, Luna. She’s quite picky with her snacks but these treats really tickle her fancy. On the size aspect, how do you guys feel about it? I find them a tad small for Luna’s liking, she tends to gulp them down in one go and I fear she’s not truly savouring the taste. Also, has anyone else noticed that the Wilderness Blend variety seems to be Daisy’s favourite? Just curious if other dogs gravitate toward that flavor as much as mine does.
Oh, and a friendly tip: if your dog is anything like Luna who goes bonkers everytime she sees the treat bag, try keeping them out of sight. It helps maintain their excitement level – they always get amped up when it’s treat time!
Oh, Grandma Lucy’s… Been there, done that. I too was blindsided by the cool packaging and the healthy promise – until I found my bulldog, Buster, nonchalantly looking at them like they were yesterday’s news. They are little on the pricier side considering thier ‘meh’ performance if you ask me. For a treat to pass muster in our home it needs the three S’s: size, scrumptiousness, and shelf-life. We switched to Wellness Core Marrow Roasts and haven’t looked back since – affordable and consistently gets Buster drooling. Might be worth a shot for Murphy? Just remember to introduce new treats gradually to avoid any tummy troubles. And keep the treats consistent – jumping around multiple brands often backfires in more ways than one!
Absolutely agree with all the love for The Bear annd The Rat treats! Our Golden Retriever, Sammy, utterly adores them too. They’re perfectly sized and super easy to carry around during our walks or trips to the park. Plus, they have shown commendable durability even after a month of daily use – none of them have broken or crumbled apart!
Speaking from personal experience, these treats have made training sessions way more effective. Sammy just can’t resist them and he’s learned new tricks in no time; it’s like magic! As for the price, they might seem a bit steep initially but considering the high quality and benefits, I’d say they’re worth every penny.
Ever tried using them while teaching your dogs to swim? Our Sammy was apprehensive about water before but ever since we started using these treats as incentives, his fear has noticeably reduced. Just remember not to replace professional vet advice with treats when it comes to addressing your dog’s specific issues.
Has anyone noticed their dogs becoming more active after introducing these treats to their diet? Is it just me ntoticing this bost in Samy’s energy levels or could there be relevant experiences amng you guys too?
I’ve got the same experience with Happy Dog Dry Food as you have. Our Belgian Malinois, Max, was pretty indifferent to it. He ate it alright, but not with much gusto. Kind of unusual since Max is usually not picky about his food. It also made his stool a bit loose for my liking so we switched to other dry foods after finishing the bag. I’d recommend owners to be observant about how their dogs react to new food especially related to digestion; don’t hesitate switching if your pet seems uncomfortable. Definitely consult a vet too if there are any troubling signs!
As for an alternative, have you tried Nutro’s Ultra Dry Food? Max went gaga over their chicken, lamb, and salmon recipe! Hands down, Max never had any digestive issue with this product and he looks just as healthy and active as before, if not more. The price tag is slightly heavy on the pocket compared to Happy Dog, but I think the premium ingredients makes it worth investment.
I totally get where you’re coming from with your review of Happy Dog Dry Food. Our Lab, Rosco, didn’t exactly jump for joy either when we first fed him this brand. I think the kibble size could be a problem, especially for larger dogs like ours. They seem a bit small and Rosco had to cram quite a lot before he felt full. In the affordability department however, it definitively earns a few points. It’s durable that it doesn’t easily crumble and turn into dust. But here’s my question: did you notice any changes in your dog’s coat or overall energy level after switching to Happy Dog? I’m curious coz Rosco’s been somewhat lethargic recently and I can’t tell whether it’s the food or just his moods playing up.
I wholeheartedly echo the positive sentiments towards Iams Dry Dog Food. As a pet parent to a rather finicky Cocker Spaniel for the last 10 years, I’ve tried numerous brands to match her discerning palate. Eventually we landed on Iams and haven’t looked back! Plus, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t burn a hole in my wallet especially compared to some of the more gourmet suggestions. Just out of curiosity – has anyone noticed any changes in their dog’s coat or energy levels since switching to Iams? My Cocker seems more energetic but could be due to multiple factors. Always good though to consult with your vet for sure!
It’s always nice to hear about others having success with Iams Dry Dog Food. For me and my Boston Terrier, Skippy, we found ourselves on team Hill’s Science Diet. They offer great breed-specific formulas, which really help me feel confident in what I am feeding Skippy. The smaller size kibble is easier for him to digest as well.
Interestingly, I initially used Iams for a while too but ultimately changed after experimenting a bit- Skippy is picky! Have any of you guys tried Hill’s Science Diet? or perhaps have some tips on managing a picky eater? I’m always open to new ideas especially when it comes to keeping my little guy happy.
I’ve also had some good experiences with Iams Dry Dog Food. When I first started feeding this to my Border Collie, she was a little unsure about the size of the kibbles. However, she quickly got used to them and now looks forward to meal times even more than before.
What impressed me the most, besides its affordability, is its durability in terms of staying fresh up until the last scoop from the bag – quite a feat especially considering that these dry food bags can last a long while. The packaging quality is decent and doing its job nicely!
Just a tip for fellow dog lovers trying out this food: When switching your pup’s diet, remember to introduce any new type of food gradually to avoid upsetting their stomachs. Mix it with their old food initially and increase the proportion of new food over time.
How are your dogs handling the smaller size of these kibbles, peeps? Have you noticed any changes in their eating habits or favorite aspects since the introduction? Let’s discuss! Remember though, for any drastic changes or concerns you might have, always consult with your vet as every pupper is unique and reacts differently to dietary alteration!
