I have dogs of different ages and they all love to sniff for the treats. The game pieces move as easily for my smaller dogs as for the larger ones. Everyone can't wait for a turn at the treats -young and old alike. My pup is just a year and my senior dog is 13; I have more dogs aged in between. Plus when the kids come by with their dogs, they have played and enjoyed it too.

I hesitate to give this only three stars, because it is definitely a high quality product. All the pieces are nice solid plastic, and they slide around as they're supposed to. My dogs have no trouble moving the tiles.

And therein les the problem. Every dog I have tried this with is vastly entertained--for about two minutes. My Golden, two German Sheperd puppies, and a Havanese all mastered this toy almost instantly, so it does nothing at all to keep them occupied on their own. Even still, I would probably still give it four stars for its fun factor, but the price is too high for its function.

If you are going to sit around and refill it over and over again to let your dog play with for longer than two minutes, use a Manners Minder instead. Premier Manners Minder Remote Reward Behavior Training System for Dogs You can use it to train all sorts of things and dogs think it's Christmas with a remote control. If you want something to keep your dog busy on her own for a while, use a kong or a bone.

I own the Nina Ottosson Dog Brick and the Tornado. This puzzle is made of good quality durable plastics. The removable white bone pieces are durable, but should be well supervised for play. The bone pieces are only 3 inches or so in length and could be a choking hazard to larger dogs.

There are 12 insets to fill with food, and the 4 in the middle are covered with the removable bone pieces. These are shallow and the puzzle does not hold an entire meal (1 cup for my pet).

I agree with the intermediate rating of this puzzle, considering the Busy Buddy toys and the Kong Wobbler are easy and the Tornado is a bit more challenging. Once the dog figures it out, the puzzle can be completed in just 1-2 minutes. This toy is a little pricey considering the limited play time, but it is absolutely adorable watching them figure it out.

Overall, I recommend the Brick if you are willing to spluge. If you are looking for an intermediate food puzzle and are a bit more budget minded, consider the Buster Cube. Of all of the different puzzles we have tried, the Buster Cube still ranks at the top.

The puzzle arrived on the earliest estimated day. He loves this alot. His nose goes into overdrive when I bring this out. My only tiff with the puzzle is that it is too light. Oliver is only 15 lbs and I have to hold the puzzle down the whole time. Otherwise it's great, he uses his nose and paws to manuver the bricks to get a treats.

I initially got this toy to keep my normally active dog occupied during the 8 weeks of inactivity following her knee surgery. It's supposed to be of moderate difficulty, but is very easy for my Rottweiler.

The plastic Dog Brick is sturdy, well made, and dishwasher safe. It would be better if it was a bit heavier so it didn't move around so much, though if your dog is small, this shouldn't be a problem. The compartments slide open way too easily. When my dog removes the middle bones with her paw (which must be removed before the compartments slide open), it jostles the entire game and causes some of the compartments to slide open on their own.

I found that using a bit of peanut butter in each compartment instead of a dry treats, works VERY well. She works more methodically this way, and licking the peanut butter keeps her occupied a lot longer. However this toy still doesn't occupy her for long.

Another plus is the holes in the "bone" pieces which fit between the sliding compartments. You can knot a rope into it if you'd like to give your dog an extra option for removal of the piece, and would maybe work well for a small dog.

Although fun, this toy won't keep your dog busy for long at all. If you'd like to occupy your dog for longer, I'd recommend the Bob-A-Lot interactive toy.

I bought this for my 90 lbs Catahoula American bull dog. He is very strong, and he broke it in few minutes. Moreover, he eats about anything, but he was not too thrilled with the stuffing inside. He didnt even eat it and went back to playing with his kong. So, honestly, my dog eats everything, its not worth the price. I would pay $2 for it, if I had too.

Cosequin Plus is the best option I have found to relieve the pain of arthritis in my Golden Retriever. Almost three years ago Digger could barely get up from laying down. I can't remember how long it took for me to notice his improvement, however, it wasn't long and it was unbelievable! He gets Cosequin Plus every day and is now as flexible and playful as a puppy. Now that he can move freely without pain, he has more energy, is happier and now has overall good health (better movement allowed him to also shed some unwanted weight).

I use this product for my 14 year old dog to help make her more comfortable with her arthritis. She loves the flavored tablets and often eats them first before her regular dog food in her bowl. It's important to be consistent with dosage, and it helps over time. I would recommend this product because it is affordable and safe supplement for pets.

Cosequin was recommended by my dog's vet as the best supplement for joint health, so I have been buying it for a couple of years. This product was offered at a competitive price. It was well-packaged and arrived quickly. I am completely satisfied with the product and would recommend it to anyone.

*********************************************************

UPDATE: READ THE UPDATE BELOW FIRST. Thanks. (June 15 and August 3, 2012)

*********************************************************

I WAS, BUT NO MORE (actively anyway). We have four cats: two ("normals") who eat about anything, one with kidney disease (CRF/CKD) and accompanying reduced appetite, and one that has picky (and weird) tastes. In the process of trying to find an appetite stimulant for the mom-cat (with CRF/CKD) I tried out several products on her and the others (the kids) as well.

Here are the results of this less than scientific (or definitive) survey:

Drs.Foster&Smith Shrimp Snappies Treats (ground to powder)-----------ALL REFUSED.

Freeze-dried powders (Prowl and Ziwi Peak)----------------------------NO EFFECT. All but one (Ms. Picky) ate them.

Seafood juices (tuna, oyster, sardine, etc.)-----------------------------NO EFFECT. All but (same) one ate them.

Dry (ground to powder) cat food (Halo, EVO, Blue Fuffalo, etc.)---------NO EFFECT. Ditto acceptance.

Canned cat food (gourmet brands & renal diets)------------------------Ditto.

Hairball tube lubes (usual suspects & Cat Grass)------------------------Ditto.

Mark&Chappells De Furr-ums treats------------------------------------Ditto.

Calming chews & liquid (Pet Naturals)----------------------------------Ditto (except Ms. Picky accepted)

Brewer's yeast(powder)-----------------------------------------------Dulled all appetites a bit; all accepted

Barley Cat (GreenFoods; powder)--------------------------------------EFFECTIVE on mom-cat; others liked except...

Drs.Foster&Smith Tuna Treats (ground to powder)----------------------EFFECTIVE on mom-cat; all others liked

Bonito Sprinkles (Cat-Man-Doo)----------------------------------------EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE; ditto

8in1 Dingo Anchovy Fillets (ground to powder)--------------------------Ditto (effect & acceptance)

Tropical Fish Food (Sergeants Atlantis)---------------------------------Ditto (except Ms Picky liked; 2 normals NOT)

Purina Whisker Lickins Tender Moments (Chicken flavor)-----------------BEST (effect & acceptance)

Whiskas Temptations Treats (crumbled by hand)------------------------BEST (effect & acceptance)

Most of the products were accepted by most of our cats but their appetites were not helped noticeably until I found the last seven: Barley Cat (separate review), Drs.F&S Tuna Treats, Cat-Man-Doo Bonito Sprinkles (reviewed here), 8in1 Dingo Anchovy Fillets, tropical fish food (I did not test the "regular" or "beta" but ingredients were similar and loaded with fillers and dyes; no reason to suspect that the brand is critical), Purina Whisker Lickins Tender Moments and Whiskas Temptations Treats (only "regular" Salmon and Chicken flavors tested). Only the Whiskas Temptations were effective to the point of bringing all our cats' appetites back to the "relish" or "enthusiastic" stage. None of the products were "perfect": most lacking in some degree of effectiveness or acceptance and the regular Whiskas Temptations (?the "natural" versions?) lacking in quality ingredients and difficult to crush by hand. I have avoided brands like Whiskas for years on nutritional and ethical grounds but I will reluctantly use them in a flavor enchancer role until I find a more suitable alternative. Three of our four cats had weird responses to the tropical fish flakes: our two "normals" were absolutely repulsed and our Ms Picky licked her bowl clean. Go figure.

The Cat-Man-Doo (CMD) "sprinkles" I bought from HealthyPets.com for just a bit less than the price on Amazon. These are the only dehydrated bonito in "sprinkles" form (there is a TUNA DASH product out there but more expensive) that I could find. Other bonito products typically are large flakes and more expensive. Although the CMD product comes in a shaker jar it is not a "sprinkles" form like salt or pepper and does not shake out as easily or evenly; the "sprinkles" are still flakes, just a lot smaller. If you decide to further reduce the size of any of the products it is not necessary to pulverize them to a fine powder. Generally they come out of a shaker container a little more uniformly if left slightly course. The Whiskas treats, because of their soft center, are best crumbled by hand. The Whiskas products present the best value: about 300 servings for about $1.80 on sale at PetCo (and a bit less at Walmart). Purina Whisker Lickens come in several flavor varieties and, though equally effective, contain about 150 servings and are more expensive even on Amazons best terms (multi-pack and free shipping). Purina WL (3 oz) would have to sell for under $1 per pack off the shelf or with free shipping to be competitive. I found several of the products (DrsF&S, 8in1, Sergeants, Purina WL, and Whiskas) at a discount store (BigLots). Among the dried fish products, the CMD sprinkles do offer good value: about $2.80 per ounce (before shipping, taxes) and provide so many servings that I could not attempt to count or even estimate. If your pet gets turned on by CMD then, because of the prodigious number of servings, the CMD could be the better value. A word of caution on the CMD quantity: The listings and ads stated that the sprinkles jar contains 8 oz. NOT TRUE. The company used a fluid ounce (volume) measure rather than a weight measure for this particular product. The sprinkles jar contains at least 2 1/2 oz by weight. Even so, the price still beats other brands of bonito (and tuna) products that I ran across. Credit to the company, however, since they packed the jar about as full as possible and they responded positively to my complaint about the choice of measures and confirmed that the labels, ads, and other marketing materials will be changed ASAP to state the 2 1/2 oz weight measure. Will they pack the jar as tight? Cat-Man-Doo also is introducing a chicken sprinkles product (2 oz size). I wonder: would our Ms. Picky take to that?

CONCLUSION: Effective appetite enhancers are out there and probably one that matches the pickiest/weirdest of tastes. The problem, as I discovered, is finding it. As far as I can tell, there is no logic, no rhyme, no reason to use as a guide. Individual differences among cats seems to be the norm and consistency of preferences does not appear to be of any evolutionary value. Cases in point: our Ms. Picky. She does not like flavors OF meat and fish but loved the food flakes FOR fish; our "normals", who rarely refuse anything, were sorely offended by the same offering. Personally, we now have reasonably priced go-to flavor enhancers for all our cats (Whiskas Temptations) and back ups (Cat-Man-Doo Sprinkles) for all as well, even Ms Picky.

SIDE NOTE: I powdered and combined the 8in1 Dingo anchovy product and the Cat-Man-Doo sprinkles, which suggests that other closely effective products may be mixed successfully. I did it just to use down the anchovies since they are relatively expensive and I probably would not purchase them at full retail price.

So until their tastes change (again) we are no longer actively searching for appetite boosters. Hope this review helps (with products or ideas) ANYONE ELSE (even dog companions) WHO IS STILL SEARCHING FOR A PET APPETITE ENHANCER.

****************************

UPDATE: AND THEIR TASTES DID CHANGE--REPEATEDLY. AND I ACQUIRED A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE after trying over four dozen flavor additives over the past year. There are two approaches to re-stimulating pet appetites; ON food or IN the pet; that is, from the outside in or the inside out. I WAS TAKING THE WRONG APPROACH, assuming that all I had to do was find the right product to add to my cats' food and Valla!, problem solved! The following are my personal conclusions after many months and conversations with several vets:

1) Diminished appetite may be difficult to distinguish from strong preferences (picky-picky) and preference changes.

2) Normally healthy pets experience swings in appetite (like, seasonal or during hairball buildup) and do not need extra appetite stimulants or treats (although you would never guess that from the explosion of treats on pet food aisles). Even pets that play or perform only expect approval, attention and affection. Everyday pet feed should provide an adequate level of sensory interest. If not, then find an appropriate formula (or mix of brands and wet/dry) that does. Affordability may be an issue but "treats" are not cheap and I have not done the math to get a fix on the pricepoint at which treats would become more expensive. In any event, off-the-shelf enhancers/treats may have a role in case of genetic or age-related sensory loss, as a short-term aid, as a palliative after a rough experience/day, or as a "last resort".

3) Pets with known or suspected medical issues may need the inside-out approach. Additive appetite enhancers may not be much help if the reduction in appetite is due to a medical case. The short term benefit from (even the best) appetite additives (anywhere from one meal to several months), may be long enough to keep them going while the underlying medical issues and related appetite symptoms are resolved (or not). Some inside-out Rx appetite enhancers also may only work short-term (maybe up to 6 weeks); others may work if administered continually; the best (but not typical) outcome would be a jumpstart of the pet's natural appetite.

4) Pets on a special diet (like calorie restriction or Rx) have fewer choices of feed and MAY benefit from added (outside-in) appetite enhancers to even the most palatable available special diet formulas. Expect short term results and anticipate having to cycle through various enhancer products frequently.

5) One reason for the loss of "magic" of appetite enhancers is pet intelligence: they may eventually figure out that they can "cherry pick" the tasty additive and leave the relatively unappetizing food; or "wait out" your first offering in anticipation of tastier follow-up offerings. BUT the flavor additives work better as sprinkles and tend to lose their magic if mixed in with the food. I found this to be the case even if I "marianated" their regular food with the flavor enhancer in water prior to meals.

6) I have used the phrases "flavor enhancer" and "appetite stimulant" interchangeably. There probably is a substantive difference but my interest was the end result (a hearty interest in meals and increased consumption).

For those readers who are interested in further lists of products I have tried, I set out the items I have researched/used since the last report. They are organized a little differently, hopefully in a more useful fashion. Besides the specific items, you may find the list helpful in generating further ideas to experiment with. Unless noted otherwise, the off-the -shelf products were crumbled or pulverized if not already in powder form. Prior consultation with your vet would be advisable if not required, for the INSIDE-OUT types and may prove helpful before venturing even into the realm of off-the-shelf and DIY flavor enhancers.

THE INSIDE-OUT TYPES (do not depend on the senses but work internally, if at all, to stimulate appetite):

Vitamin B-12 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dexamethasone (Rx injectable steriod)

Pro-biotics ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Depo-Medrol (Rx injectable anti-inflammatory )

Pre-biotics ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mirtazipine (Rx anti-depressant pills)

Exercise ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cyproheptadine (Rx anti-histamine/serotonin pills and compounded liquid)

Charcoal (medical/food grades) ^^^^ Cerenia (Rx anti-nausia/inflammatory pill)

Pepcid AC ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Zantac

Oral Electrolytes (Non-Rx fluids like: Pedialyte, Caravet, Ions, Pets&Vets, and DIY recipes)

Rx injectable Electrolytes ("Sub-Q" fluids)

Rx Oral Electrolytes (like: Rebound OES)

THE OUTSIDE-IN TYPES (depend mainly on the senses of smell/taste to get the attention of the appetite):

Hills Science Diet AD (Rx) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Pet Vitamins (Sargeants)

Dental gel ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Liver (raw, sauteed; chicken & beef)

Garmon VetClassics Cranberry chews (crumbled)^^^^Liver (human-grade dessicated/dehydrated; capsules/powdered)

Natural Balance Perfect Bites (rabbit)^^^^^^^^^^ EVO Wild Cravings

VetsBest Right Bites Health Management (dogs) ^^^Mixins (Variety Pet Foods)

PureBites (Pure Treats Inc)freeze-dried liver puffs ^^

MOST/LEAST EFFECTIVE Rx PRODUCTS: There are differences; but best sorted out between you and your vet.

MOST EFFECTIVE OF THE NON-Rx PRODUCTS:

In addition to the better ones (according to our cats) noted in the original list (Barley Cat thru Whiskas Temptations), add these to the BEST class::

Dessicated/dehydrated Liver (human grade) capsules/powder (go easy, may cause the runs)

Seared/browned Canned Pet Food (regular and Rx)

Vienna Sausage (chicked meat & broth)

Catty Shack treats (crumbled)

Natural Balance Platefulls-sardines

Pet Greens Freeze Dried puffs (liver)

Natural Balance Perfect Bites (rabbit)

My Little Lion (salmon)

EVO Wild Cravings (herring & Salmon)

VetsBest Right Bites Health Management (dogs)

Mixins (Variety Pet Foods)

LEAST EFFECTIVE NON-Rx PRODUCTS:

In addition to the originally listed ineffective ones (again by unscientific poll of our cats): F&S Shrimp Snappies thru brewers yeast powder, add these:

Vita Gravy (Petsmart)

Bench & Field treats (Trader Joes)

ALL OTHER NON-Rx PRODUCTS

Most were accepted by all four cats but were not particularly effective as appetite stimulants in our trials. Your pets, especially the healthy ones, may respond more favorably.

IF I WERE STARTING OVER WHAT WOULD I DO? (Supplementing my "perspective" points above) HERE ARE MY MAIN TIPS: 1) Get to know my pets' taste preferences in advance of any need 2) Check for medical causes 3) If no medical issues, switch to the other form (dry/wet) of the pet's regular food and try as a flavor enhancer topping and/or as a substitute 4) Then try warming or browning the wet version of the pet's regular food 5) next, your best choice of a "treat" or supplement with the pet's favorite flavor used as a topping 6) then one with a liver taste, such as Barley Cat or Pet Greens Freeze Dried 7) Then Cat-Man-Do bonito sprinkles, Natural Balance Platefuls, Catty Shack treats, Purina Whisker Lickins, or Whiskas Temptations 8) If a product meets with initial acceptance, withhold judgment on "effectiveness" until after a few meals worth of experiences 9) forego trying all the hundreds of "treats" in search of "the" one that will work after you have gone thru your best shots 10) If there are medical issues, consider off-the-shelf and Rx appetite stimulants, singly or in combination 11) If a liquid meal substitute is called for consider REBOUND and CLINICARE RF, but also CATSURE and KMR and (as a last resort?) human versions of liquid renal failure products. Acceptance at this point will likely be a major issue but at least they are there for the trying.

My apologies for the awkward columns but I could not figure out a neat way to compress the information. Hope all this helps and Good Luck.

We had been feeding our pup another premium brand of large breed puppy chow. Though early on when we first got him he would eat without a problem at times he would leave some and maybe eat it later. He finally reached a point where he became very picky, and to get him to eat we had to mix canned food with the dry. He was having some tummy problems and our vet suggested the Royal Canin. We figured we would give it a shot, none of our local pet stores carry the puppy chow so we ordered from Amazon. It arrived and we gradually switched him over, you could tell right from the start he liked it ALOT. Once we had him fully switched over to the Royal Canin there were no more tummy problems (nice solid stools) and he absolutely LOVES this dogfood! It has been a month now and when feeding time rolls around he starts getting excited, and is very enthusiastic about the meal, once he starts eating he doesn't stop and it's gone in no time! He looks good, has lots of energy. Oh, and no more smelly canned food to deal with :).

This is the only food we have fed our 1 year old female German Shepherd after the breeder recommended it. She loves it. She has lots of energy and no skin or digestive issues at all. Her coat is beautiful and shiny. We followed the feeding recommendations on the bag. She has grown to her full size and is not at all overweight like some other dogs we know that are fed the grocery store brands. Many people have commented on what a beautiful dog she is. I attribute this to the well balanced diet of Royal Canin.

Ever since I switched my puppy from Wolf Cub, she never hesitates to eat when chow time comes. She is quick to eat her breakfast and dinner, where before she would barely touch her food. She has no problem with digestion and absorption of her food, and her stools are evidence of that. Her coat is very shiny, and she has filled out and put on lots of muscle. I will certainly move her to the adult blend when the time comes.

I have 2 German Shepherds and both have very sensitive stomachs. We used to deal with diarrhea frequently. Once we switched to Royal Canin everything got better. Also, the pieces are pretty big so unlike other food the dogs can't just swallow these without properly chewing first. I highly recommend this food to all the German Shepherd owners.

Want Royal Canin Dry Dog Food, German Shepherd Puppy 30 Formula, 30-Pound Bag Discount?

I like Royal Canin very much. The design makes my German Shepherd puppy chew his food and not gulp it (like he did with his old food). I like the smell of it. It does not give him the doggy breath. His teeth seem to stay more clean. His coat has retained its shine. The ingredients are perfect (meats first!).

However, it is about $20 cheaper if you can find a retailer near you that you can buy it from. Your veterinarian might know of someone. My vet uses Royal Canin for her dogs, so I am going to buy it from her from now on.

Great product! Too pricey on Amazon though....

Several of my dogs suffer from allergies. My veterinarian instructed me to cease giving them biscuit treats as they can contain dust mites (as also does the dry food at the bottom of bags where it becomes powdery throw out at that point). It doesn't matter if the dust mites are alive or dead, they are not good for a dog with allergies.

So I, at my veterinarian's suggestion, switched to this natural beef jerkey dog treat and voila! they just love it. Of course, I limit the intake or they would be partaking of it non-stop. Can't have that!

A good alternative to dry dog bones or treats!

Take these off your website... they are made in China and unhealthy for animal consumption. Our animals are already subject to local pesticides and poisons. The only reason I gave it 1 star was to be able to post this message.

First off don't be scared by the "Product of China" label.. The duck used comes from a breed of domesticated duck used primarily for egg and meat production. It was bred from the Mallard in China.

Yes America produces Pekin Duck too, but have not done a good job at dehydrating the meats in bulk for jerky uses, only for culinary usage and it usually isn't cheap or easy to find.

95% of duck meat consumed in the United States is Pekin duck, and who knows what percentage of that is actually our own US product.

Our friendly Asian brothers have been farming Pekin Duck since the days of the 5 Dynasty, that's about 1100yrs ago or so.

In 1873 nine ducks were exported from China to Long Island, New York and there are currently from what I can see only a couple of towns in Indiana that handle that predominantly for the US markets.

Not all dogs are meant to handle waterfowl, but if they do and you don't like this product then go get a hunting license to make your own duck jerky.

What can I say about this product? Strips of dried duck breast, packed in a sealed plastic bag with a cardboard label attached to the top. The dog seems to really enjoy them.

I actually ordered this for my cat! She loves,loves duck jerky! Then, it became hard to find because of the recalls.So, I ordered this brand for her. She did love it, and it smelled so good. My only problem is that it was pricey for the amount I got. Since then, I've been trying to break her from the jerky because of the expense. She was addicted, but is slowly forgetting about it. Good product, though!

The Cat Man Doo chicken treats are nothing but freeze-dried chicken. They're great if your cat's on a raw food diet or needs grain free treats. Best of all, our three cats who will eat treats love them.

They come in pieces that can be broken up or served whole. You can even crush them and put them on cat food if you're trying to encourage a picky eater to try something new.

My three cats like these well enough and I bought them because they were a more "natural" treat for them. But they seem too pricey for dried chicken.

My Golden Retriever has very bad allergies, not only is she allergic to pollen and human dander but we have figured out over the years that she reacts mostly to anything that is bird based and that has gluten in it, after trying numerous gluten free/bird free kibble, this food has worked the best, we can't get over how much better she is, no more sores on her stomach, fur issues or infections, she still scratches from time to time because of allergy season, but otherwise she's like a new dog. We are very happy we tried this food.

I'm completely puzzled they've had strong responses to the 3 different flavors. None of the three would eat the Lamb & Chickpea recipe. They loved the Chicken & Chickpea for quite a while then the youngest started getting fussy. So I bought the Salmon flavor. The 15 yo wouldn't touch it going so far as to eat the Chicken ones I'd mixed in (to transition) & spit the Salmon ones out. The youngest 5 yo seemed to relish the Salmon ones then refused them too spitting out the Salmon ones, leaving them in her bowl or walking away if there was too high a mix of Salmon to Chicken kibbles.

I can't say enough good things about this dog food. In fact, I have reviewed the Nutrisca Chicken and Chick Pea in the past and can now say, both my dogs a German Shepherd Dog and Welsh Corgi love the Salmon variety as well. Both the Chicken and Salmon are very high quality dog foods that my dogs thrive on. Before Nutrisca, I tried many high quality, limited ingredient brands but with all the others, one or both of my dogs did not tolerate them and suffered from allergic reactions, yeast issues, skin rashes, loose stools, etc. Within a few weeks of feeding this dog food, both of my dogs developed clear skin, good stools and shiny coats and I know they are getting proper nutrition. I highly recommend this grain free and potato free product for anyone struggling with a dog allergy. Give it try, like I did. It is expensive, but in the end, with all the ailments gone, it pays for itself and my dogs are healthy and happy. It is definitely worth the price and I have found I can feed a little less because of the nutrition value and quality.

My 2 year old corgi has been eating this salmon/chickpea formula for about a year now and done excellently on it. We love this kibble and the fact that we are feeding a safe, healthy protein source (wild caught salmon) rather than factory-farmed garbage found in most dog food. Couldn't be happier with this quality kibble BUT I am planning to switch him over to Orijen 6 Fish. Why? Because the company who makes Nutrisca, Dogswell, uses Chinese ingredients & manufacturing for their jerky treats and this is utterly inexcusable (to me). Why risk the health & lives of customers' pets for a slightly larger profit having your treats made in China--NOT what I expect from a premium brand that charges $$$$ for their products. Though my puppy & I love the kibble I feel let down by the company. Sorry Dogswell but you should listen to your customers, do the right thing, make the stupid jerky treats in America instead of China--why is that so hard, or do you prefer losing loyal long-time customers instead?

These treats can create a very serious problem. I just opened the new bag I bought from Amazon and gave one to each of my three dogs and TWO OF THEM GOT THEM STUCK IN THEIR THROATS. Both were choking and both had to have them pried out of their mouths by my husband and I. Very scary. I have thrown them out. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUY THESE. Based on their shape, size and the fact that when they get wet they get sticky, they can choke your dog. DON'T BUY THESE. PERIOD.

My dogs love these things. I have pair of scissors handy and cut them in two. No more problems with choking.

I have bought these in stores in small bags, but the treats in these big bags I received were very hard. My dog is small and couldn't really enjoy them...
