Merrick Power Bites Dog Treats, Real Beef Recipe – 6 oz. Bag

The only treat my dog never tires of. The picky little dog usually gets the larger size I break into 4 – 5 bites bites.I’ve lost track how many bags over the last few years. They smell fine to me, not stale, never unpleasant and being semisoft, they’re perfect for her little mouth. They somewhat stick to the dogs teeth so she keeps chewing instead of gulping it down like other types. This simple formulation may not sound like much, but it’s a big deal. One of these treats produces a more pleasure, over a longer time, making a much bigger impression on Doggie’s brain’s pleasure centers, and a firmer association in her memory.I used these treats to teach this (adopted) 7 year-old+ dog ‘new tricks’ and it was easy.Using only positive reinforcement, she’s gone from mistrusting and ignorant, to loving and educated, with no punishment type training and never a harsh word needed.She’s not much for chicken. I introduced her to a live chicken, she sniffed at it and ignored it. Not a gene in her reacts to birds and I don’t think they smell like food to her. She’ll chase a mouse, but ignores pigeons.I’ve also noted that even when ‘I spiced up’ her fowl based kibble and she’d eat it, she was listless and tired the next day, but when I switched to beef kibble her energy picks up.She has the treat schedule figured out. Comes home from a walk/ ride, races right to her throne, assumes the “sit pretty” position like a machine and stays there until she gets her due. If I get distracted, 10 minutes later there she is, like a stiff little statute (Look at me! Look at me! Where’s my treat?). She’d blissfully eat the whole bag if I’d comply, but I have to watch her weight – so I’m sneaking in the smaller portions.I want her short life to be a happy journey. I’d be content living tending a garden and caring for the creatures, all day, every day, forever an ever – just like Adam was supposed to do. That’s my idea of paradise, not being a stock broker/ lawyer/ politician/ banker … for all eternity.Meanwhile, I recommend these treats. In 60 years of owning and training dogs, they’re the best I’ve found. Every dog should have their day, and a good dog two!

My dog enjoys these. I have tried these out on big and small dogs. For the little one I have to split it in half but he loves them. For the big dog, he loves them but they are pretty small for a large dog. I would get these again.

Flavor? I am not eating them. I got these for training treats right before 1 of my dogs was put on a no beef diet. The other two thank him! They are just about the right size. They could be a little bit smaller, though. My dogs like more treats, not larger treats. 3 small treats are better than 1 big treat to them. My dogs are all food motivated, so small treats work wonders on them. There should be more in a package, but that is the way things are these days. Hopefully I don’t have to start eating them, then I will find out about that flavor thing!

Picky eater friendly. My pitbull is extremely picky and so is my multiple and I would say the Maltipoo is more picky for my pitbull. I need to use only be products and I must say she loves these. Maltipoo is Aiden right away. I’m happy for the products, and I am glad I found a all these products as well. This helps my pitbull with her allergies. Five stars.

Puppies love! (They’re actually older dogs). Both Husky and Lab adore these treats. I usually give them one before my husband and I head to work. Just to say love them and we’ll be back soon. They probably don’t know that’s what we mean when we give them now that I think about it lolBut they love em! All the tricks come out, and they are ready to receive this small little bites. They are SOFT ENOUGH FOR ILDER DOGS TEETH, and chewy so they last a moment longer than other treats I’ve tried. My lab will toss treats back like humans do medication, but he drools at the mouth with these. Very good treats to use when training, and found that they are pretty gosh don inexpensive.

Our dogs are obsessed. We love these treats!! I’ve been purchasing them for years now for my older dog and now our puppy loves them as well. They’re soft but still chewy and the ingredients are relatively simple. They don’t have a very strong smell but they’re still great for training! Will always have these as some of our staple treats!

Good quality ingredients and our dogs love them. Great treat item and you get quite a few in the bag. We usually treat with 1-2 depending on dog size. Never upset the tummies and have not experienced any problems or concerns with the quality of these treats. We have tried all of the flavors, but our kids like this flavor the best. Also, we use these as a chaser when giving them their medicines to ensure the pills go/stay down. Recommend.

Good size treats & gluten free. These are a good, non-messy treat for training a young dog. I keep them in a pouch in my pocket. They started making them a little larger, but I actually wish they kept them smaller (thus a 4-star vs 5-star rating). I needed gluten free so I could handle them without fear of MYSELF being exposed to the gluten.

Rabbit is pets favorite. Both the cat and dog love rabbit treats. Size is about a dime round but pretty thick. Just right for the dog and not to big for the cat. They are a soft chew.
