Product Review: Zukes Mini Naturals

I am on a constant lookout for bite size treats. Every treat I've come across, I either thought was too large and/or too much work/too messy to make into bite size pieces. Then I found a bag of Zukes Mini Naturals in a store, which are by far the most perfect tiny bite size treats I've ever come across.



These treats are fabulous in many ways. The treat is tiny enough where I can grab a handful and put them in my pocket. In addition, these treats are "wet" as in soft, moist, and most importantly STINKY enough to catch a dogs attention while outside. But at the same time, they aren't moist to the extent of hot dog juice or cheese so they are way cleaner and easier to work with.

These treats come in three flavors: peanut butter, chicken, and salmon.

Our first experience with Zukes wasn't actually all that pleasant. We tried the peanut butter flavor, which of course induced some major barfing from Ender. Not sure what brought that on, might have been too many treats, too much peanut butter, or the fact that Ender was still young.

Then we tried chicken flavor and although Ender ended up being fine with with it, the chicken flavor did not sit well with Barksdale and propelled us into epic poo/barf territory. Again, this might have been that we gave her too many treats, chicken allergy, or her age.

Anyway, as third time's the charm, we are currently using the salmon flavor which seem fine with both dogs. I have yet to find similar treats this size but if anyone knows of any, pass them this way!
