Lamb Mini-PureBites

I stumbled on this training treat at my local pet store as I was loading up for my very first time attending dog classes. I have chihuahuas who RARELY get treats, and recently adopted a mini Aussie who absolutely requires high activity and exercise… high value, low kcal and bite sized training treats are essential for training to her energy level. I HATE moist treats due to the build it up it (and dog saliva) leave on my fingers almost immediately. To go an an entire hour of class like that without being able to wash it off was a crippling thought. 1) I did not want to mass feed my dog 3kcal and higher treats every few seconds for an hour long class. This fits the bill. 2) I did not want to break apart moist treats and have that in my fingernails and all over my hands to reduce the kcal into more pieces. This definitely got the bill! 3) I didn’t want to have moist treats grossing up my treat pouches every use. These are dry, so very easy to keep pouch cleaner longer! 4) I wanted meat as the source, so a dry real jerky or a dehydrated organ meat. These are dehydrated liver, woohoo! I saw these in beef and lamb liver, and as training/dressage treats they are much smaller to keep that kcal content per morsel lower. My Aussie and even my chihuahuas all focus and listen up when these come out, they love them that much! They are dry treats, so my fingers do not get gross just handling them, and they do not get even remotely as coated after all the dog slobber as they would with moist treats. Big win for me and the dogs! They have plenty of fresh water always, even when training to make sure all the dry treats are accompanied by fluids. Finding these on Amazon was a huge win. My wallet lept out of my purse and hugged me. I go through 4-6oz of treats per week training with my Aussie, so every dollar I save on high value treats is truly a blessing. This review is on the lamb liver, but the beef is just as awesome to my dogs. We tend to avoid chicken in any dog foods as one of my chis has a bit of a sensitivity to it. We ONLY get the training/dressage treat packs and I often split those down into smaller pieces to prevent over feeding during training. I absolutely love these treats as the handler of them, my dogs love these treats as the receivers on them, and I hope to heck this brand never vanishes as no one else makes a nice dressage-sized training treats that doesn’t require extra dog-mom work to break them down. I’m saving time, I’m saving some extra money, and I we are having super successful training because the offerings are worth it to my dog listen and focus on. As another reviewer pointed out, these do get crumbly and powdery at the bottom of the bag. I use those as a meal topper and just move on to the next bag as well!

These mini freeze dried treats are a win on two fronts – perfect for training sessions from small to mid-sized dogs and brilliant as a meal topper for picky eaters. They don’t have that unpleasant smell which is a bonus for humans sharing the space. My goldendoodle loves them. She has a habit of getting bored with whatever we cook for her after a couple of months, and that’s when a little sprinkle of these over her meals work like magic. Suddenly, dinner is exciting again. Small, handy, and officially approved by a very discerning doodle 🐾.

My pup received these from a neighbour as a Christmas gift and I couldn’t believe how much she loves them. She is very picky when it comes to treats but will go bananas for these dog treats each and every time. First I checked the label and was pleased to verify that in fact they are single ingredient treat! A lot of dog treats and chews start to stink when chewed but no odor was detected with these. It’s likely because they are so tiny and easy to chew down quickly. These are the only treats I buy now and share them with all the other puppy parents in the neighbourhood.

My Jack Russell Terrier loves these.

I love that these are single ingredient treats. What I missed is the "mini" in the title. They are on the small side for rewarding my GSP Shepard; however, I also have a terrier mix and they will work well for him. Picture for size reference

My dog loves these. Freeze dried meat only, with no additional ingredients may make the difference. My dog Doesn’t like so many of the often advertised and market available treats. Helps get cooperation for vet exams/treatments and behavior reinforcement. My dog is Small. Bits are a larger size for him, easily broken or cut. Do not crumble Easily chewed. I

My 5lb maltipoo has loved these since he was a puppy and he still does. They are still the perfect size for him.

Love not having to cut them, but they are small enough to leave many pieces unusable, and crumbs. So they become a food topper.

The size of bag little smaller than thought This was perfect for my cat otherwise

Very nice

Par contre, mon chien en mange un peu

Dogs absolutely love these, the price is good too, I wish they came in bigger bags though because I go through them fast

My two Chihuahuas love these treats.
