Our puppers Alfred and Sadie turned 13 years old last month. They're in pretty good shape for their age, but they aren't as active as they used to be, so we have to be a bit more choosy about what treats we give them. Oat flour and rice flour are the second and third ingredients, respectively, and I understand there are different schools of thought about giving dogs grains and flours. Some say dogs should avoid grains as much as possible. Others say whole grains are a good source of dietary fiber.
Fortunately, we'll only be giving them a couple of these treats each day, so such a small amount of flour won't really affect them either way. The product even specifies on the bag that these are dog treats as opposed to dog food. They shouldn't represent more than ten percent of your dog's daily calorie intake.
Bone broth contains collagen, which is perfect for helping older dogs maintain healthy fur, skin, and joints. It can also boost their digestive and immune systems. It's even known to detoxify the liver.
The doggies seem to like taste of the treats well enough. Anything with chicken is usually a hit with them. There's even molasses in these mini morsels. Bonus points for being chewy and bite-sized even for our chihuahua-mix mutts.
$3.99 for the 6 oz resealable bag, found in the pet section. Would buy again. Alfred and Sadie give these treats eight out of ten paw prints.
Bottom line: 8 out of 10.
