Trader Joe's Beef & Sweet Potato Recipe Stuffies Dog Treats

Nobody really pays any attention to these dog treat reviews. Even the video reviews get very little traction and I'm not sure why because our dogs are freaking adorable. So why keep doing them, you ask? Well, our dogs need treats and we shop at Trader Joe's, and putting our thoughts about their products online is just kind of a thing we do...like for the past 15 and a half years...to the tune of 2,600 products, give or take. But I digress...

Trader Joe’s has a knack for surprising us with quality products, and their Beef and Sweet Potato Recipe Stuffies Dog Treats have quickly earned a permanent spot in our treat drawer. As the proud humans of two very small, senior dogs—Alfred and Sadie—we’re a little picky about what makes the cut. These treats check all the right boxes.

First and foremost, we really appreciate that beef is the number one ingredient. When it comes to dog treats, especially for older pups, ingredient quality matters. Seeing a recognizable, protein-forward ingredient right at the top of the list gives us peace of mind that we’re not just feeding filler. The addition of sweet potato is a nice bonus too, adding flavor and a wholesome touch without overcomplicating things.

Another huge win for us is the soft texture. Alfred and Sadie are both small dogs with aging teeth, so crunchy or overly hard treats are a no-go. These Stuffies are soft and pliable, making them easy to break apart into smaller pieces. This is perfect for portion control and for making sure neither dog struggles to enjoy their reward. We often break one treat into two or even three bites, and the dogs never seem to mind.

Practical details matter too, and Trader Joe’s didn’t overlook them. The resealable bag is genuinely helpful. It keeps the treats fresh, prevents that dreaded stale smell, and makes it easy to grab a quick snack without transferring everything to a separate container. It’s a small thing, but it makes daily use much more convenient.

Most importantly, though, the dogs absolutely go nuts for these treats. The moment the bag comes out, both Alfred and Sadie are suddenly very alert and very motivated. If we’re being honest, Alfie might love them just a wee bit more than Sadie, but it’s close—and she certainly isn’t complaining. Tails wag, eyes light up, and treat time instantly becomes the highlight of the moment.

All in all, Trader Joe’s Beef and Sweet Potato Recipe Stuffies feel like a thoughtfully made treat that balances quality ingredients, senior-dog-friendly texture, and real-world convenience. Most importantly, Alfred and Sadie would wholeheartedly recommend them—and that’s the opinion that matters most. 🐾

$4.79 for the 14 oz resealable bag. We'd buy this again. Alfred will go with four out of four paw prints for Trader Joe's Beef and Sweet Potato Recipe Stuffies Dog Treats. Sadie will go with three and a half. Sonia and I will add on a bonus paw print for the convenience factor.

Bottom line: 8.5 out of 10.
