| MumMumMum's Full Review: Treats Nutro Max Puppy Drumsticks 60oz. |
Nutro is fast becoming a favourite dog food brand around our home. From dry dog food to dog treats, our dog Hobbes has made his preference for the Nutro brand clear. So it was no surprise when he showed his love of MAX Puppy Drumsticks. Nutro brand dog foods have become a trusted name to us after a lot of research and discovering that they’re one of the few brands that guarantees no chicken by-products are used in their products. No feet, no heads, no guts, no chicken by-products whatsoever. That’s important to me and to my dog. When I give my children treats I try to make sure they’re healthy and appropriate for their age and size. I also want to be sure I’m giving my dog a healthy treat, not junk food, and something appropriate for a puppy. Nutro MAX Puppy Drumsticks offer up the nutrition, digestibility, and good taste that I insist on for my growing puppy. They’re fortified with vitamins and minerals and made with chicken meal, rice and lamb meal, and they don’t use ground yellow corn in theese biscuits either. But does the goodness end there?
MAX Puppy Drumsticks aren’t just a treat, a healthy biscuit, a cookie to say “Good Boy!” No, they’re more than that. Your dog has dental needs as well, and one of the ways to prevent bad teeth and gums, to keep a dog’s mouth happy and healthy, to stave off “doggy breath”, is to give them a treat that helps prevent plaque development.
The benefits of MAX Puppy Drumsticks (from the packaging):
Real chicken and lamb proteins
All natural with vitamins and minerals
Easy-to-chew size
Available in 23oz size
No chicken by-products or ground yellow corn
Hobbes loves these little drumstick shaped treats. They’re just the right size for him, and they provide him with the nutrients and health benefits to help him stay fit and strong and without that dreaded “doggy breath”. He does a little “Happy Dance” whenever he sees me reach into the box of MAX Puppy Drumsticks, so I know he loves them, and that’s a great way to sneak added nutrition into our newest family member. And he doesn’t have “doggy breath” which is always a bonus! Of course we do brush his teeth as well, but any way to keep those teeth and gums happy and healthy is a good thing. Use these biscuits as a snack for your small dog or puppy three to four times a day as an added nutritional supplement, and as a way to say “Good Dog!” MAX Puppy Drumsticks are a great way to give your dog a treat, to show them you love them and approve of their behaviour, and a great way to help keep them healthy. Hobbes gives them two paws up!
