pilarzmom's Full Review: Newman's Own Organics Dog Treats Medium/Large Pean...
My pug loves to eat - he'd eat 3 square meals a day if we let him. But we can't as we know this breed of dog is prone to overeating and packing on the pounds. However, I have a kind heart and try to have treats on hand to help him make it through the day. One I tried recently was Newman's Own Organics Peanut Butter Dog Treats.
Product Details
I've purchased Newman's Own Organics canned dog food before and been pleased with the ingredients. These treats prove to be equally good, with no corn fillers or wheat. The ingredients include barley flour, natural peanut butter, carrots, apples, ground chicken, and rolled oats. A bag of treats with a zip-lock closing weighs 13 ounces and costs around $4.
The treats themselves are a flat heart-shape, roughly the thickness of a human wafer-type cookie, and measure about an inch and a half at their widest point. When I bought them, I hadn't noticed that the bag said "medium sized." However, the treats are easy to break and my pug has no problem eating them. A whole one is a little large but he still can break it in half with his teeth and eat it.
Spanky's thoughts
Although these don't really smell like peanut butter, Spanky still seems to love them. He'll come running when I shake the bag and do pretty much anything I need him to do as long as a treat is involved. Sometimes he'll stall and not want to go outside in the cold to go potty. But if I toss a treat out, he'll run out and go sniffing for it (even it's a tiny piece) and eventually take care of his business. Likewise, once he's outside, he decides he likes it there and doesn't want to come in, so one of these treats can easily coerce him into returning to the house.
What I think about them
I like that there are good wholesome ingredients in these treats. Some treats are filled with a lot of questionable ingredients, but there's nothing in here that I wouldn't eat myself. I've found that even a small amount of bad stuff can make Spanky gassy and make his poop a bit runny. While Spanky couldn't care less, I, as his mom and one on the receiving end of the gassiness, sure do. I also try to make sure he eats healthy stuff so he'll be with us for a long time.
Although these might be a little small for a large dog, I think most small and medium sized dogs will find Newman's Own Organics Peanut Butter Dog Treats satisfactory. 5 stars.
