I look for many things when it comes to treats for my dogs.
- Where it’s made
- How many ingredients are in it
- WHAT the ingredients are
- Who makes it.
Believe it or not, those things are all factors. I could find a treat that’s made in the US, has two limited ingredients such as duck and pea flour and if it’s manufactured by a company I don’t trust, I will pass that treat up.
Oh yes I will.
Luckily for me, Jones Natural Chews meets all the requirements I look for in a treat.
So when my friend Flea asked me to review Jones’ new treat, the Frankenwoofer, I jumped at the chance. First because it’s made right here in the good ole’ US of A. Second because Jones’ is a family owned and operated business. And third because I can pronounce all the ingredients in this treat. (Except for tocopherols…does ANYONE know how to pronounce tocopherols? If so, please spell it out for me in the comments.)
Here’s what the treat looks like.
Basically it’s a beef patty wrapped around a Rocky’s Roller and baked. It’s doggie Nirvana.
And here are the ingredients: Beef Woofer 100% beef; Chicken Sausage (a.k.a. Rocky’s Rollers) – chicken, rye flour, glycerin, brown sugar, salt, liquid smoke flavoring, natural mixed tocopherols (preservative), rosemary extract in a collagen casing.
One of the things I love is the total versatility of this treat.
I mean, as far as treats go, it stands alone. It’s a ‘hot dog’ and a ‘hamburg’ all rolled into one. What dog wouldn’t want that?
AND if you get creative, you can make three treats out of one by cutting the ends off and giving your dog the woofer part. Then later on, give them the ends. You look like a total hero to your dog.
OR if you’re super creative, you can cut the ends off and then snip them into little treats and use them for training purposes.
Which is what I did.
Then I used the little snips and put them in the treat jar I keep by the back door. In a future post, I’ll show you WHY those treats are by the back door, but until then, remember, a dog’s nose knows Jones.
But how do the dogs like it? Let’s see if I can get a picture.
Sampson was a good boy and let me get a nice shot in.
I had to be quick with Delilah, she hasn’t quite gotten her Wait down yet, especially when it comes to yummy treats.
Both dogs licked the floor. (I KNEW I should have made them eat them on towels!)
We love the tender taffy from Jones, but the Frankwoofer might just be our new favorite.
How about you? Does your dog have a favorite treat?

In that one photo Delilah looks like she got a little on her chin, oh wait that’s lots of nice foamy drool 😉

Mom would saw that into about 85 treats for me!! It looks SO yummy, and I bet that smoke flavor makes it smell and taste yummy, too! My favorite treat right now is freeze dried chicken – one ingredient treat.
Love and licks,
Cupcake

We are huge Frankenwoofer fans! They are awesome. Thankfully my mom didn’t try to “short” us out of the weiner portion like you did 😉 JNC has awesome treats and chews!

I bet my girls would love those! Unfortunately, their sensitive tummies would not.
Meagan & Merlin says
Merlin loves food full stop lol. He also likes to roll around in rosemary bushes so i assume he would like the frankenwoofers too.
Flea says
I love that Jones makes your dog drool. 😀
Beth says
I love that picture of Delilah with the drool! Clearly a sign that these are delicious. Barley would probably love these–her big treats are very limited because she gets SO MANY tiny treats for training throughout the day, so I love that you were able to cut up the ends and make them multi-purpose treats!

Your pictures are great. You have captured the many moods of treat eating.
Jan K says
That certainly sounds like a treat that can’t be beat. I’m hearing grumblings from the crew now because they feel deprived that they haven’t gotten to try these yet!
Monika & Sam says
Ta-kop-fer-al. My recommendation, forget trying to say it, just say Vitamin E…it’s a natural preservative. That said, those treats look pretty pawsome and adorably cute to boot. ღ

Those look yummy. All Jones treats are yummy.
