We have two vastly different treat eaters in our house.
Mr. Picky Sampson who has been known to accept a milk bone and then drop it in my purse because it wasn’t to his liking.
And I’ll eat a rock if you tell me it’s a treat Delilah who will eat almost anything you hand to her.
Sara at The Mellow Mutt started carrying an Australian line of dog treats and I picked up some Kangaroo.
It comes in three or four different flavors but Sampson absolutely loves the Kangaroo. In fact the couple of times I’ve used it to lure him into his spot on the bed, I thought he was going to do flips for it.
I’m always on the lookout for new, high value treats which can be used on our walks to work on our recalls. In one of my recent posts I asked you all what yummy, low carb treats you used and I got a lot of answers. I plan on putting a post together for anyone else who might be interested in the same thing.
Saturday I headed to the pet store armed with your treat suggestions and came up empty. Pfffft!
I did however find this one which looked somewhat appealing to me. So I picked it up.
Usually I’m pretty good about reading the label to see where it is manufactured, but I dropped the ball on this one. The distributor is in CA but the treats are a product of China. 🙁
I did check out the websites and looked at recall lists and I could not find anything negative on them, so I figured big dogs/small doses we should be ok. These treats are really soft and easy to break into smaller pieces.
Mr. Picky Sampson LOVED them!
Hubby and I have an agreement, I get up with the dogs on Saturday and he gets up with them on Sunday, this way each of us gets a day to sleep in…..unless Hubby has to work on Saturdays. Then my Sunday becomes his, which was the case this past weekend.
So at 6:15 am Sunday I was up with Delilah. Sampson decided he didn’t want to get up, so he climbed up on the bed next to Hubby. But I know how his mind works…..he will lie there for a short while then Hubby will roll over and since he can’t sleep with his mouth closed, will blow his stinky morning breath out and Sampson will start licking at that stank his mouth.
Most days when I need to coax Sampson out of the bedroom I will use a carrot, but Sunday I thought, let me try these new duck treats. I fed one to Delilah and told her to stay, then went into the bedroom where I stuck the treat in front of Sampson’s nose.
Have you ever seen a big old alligator move like lightning? YUP that’s what my puppy turned into. He took the treat out of my hand faster than Shiva snarfs mud. In fact, I had to reach in and take it out in order to coax him from the room.
I would have to say, these treats are a hit in my house. I’ve been dishing them out sparingly and if Sampson knows I have them on our walk, he keeps running back like Delilah does.
Considering they are a product of China, would you have tried them with your pup?
