PureBites Duck Freeze Dried Dog Treats, 1 Ingredient, Made in USA, 2.61oz

I bought these for an older small dog. Our old man is 14 yrs old and 12 lbs. At this point he won't eat anything hard. I decided to give these a try since he loves the beef liver but now is having a hard time chewing it. This is great! It's softer & he loves the taste

Mama got us these DUCK treats. We LOVE them! I am Finn, and I know what it means when Mama says "Duck, Duck, Duck!" and shakes the bag! These are THE best! I stand up on my hind feet to get my piece FIRST! I just wish they came in all BIG pieces.I am Momo, and I like the flavor of these treats, and the fact that they can be easily made into smaller pieces with just Mama's finger pressure. I growl at the other dogs to keep them away from my pieces!I am Sassy - I will eat anything that doesn't eat me first! But I like the flavor and texture of these treats.I am Mama - its great to have found a treat that all my little dogs LOVE! I am glad the bigger bag is back in stock now!

Can't beat this price! I bought smaller packages in 3 different flavors. I specifically wanted freeze-dried treats since usually they crumble easily, and I mix them into the dog's food, rotating flavors. I have seen some negative reviews on freeze-dried treats before because they are too crumbly, but that's what I wanted! These, however, are less crumbly then I was expecting, which is good for most purposes.They are still able to be crumbled or pulled apart and the dogs LOVE them. They weren't eating breakfast, and we would have to bring it to the office for the dogs to eat when they got hungry enough. My little dog is a picky eater and would pick at her food unless she was starving. I thought to myself, "if I ate the same thing for every single meal, and had 10x the smelling and tasting power than a human, I wouldn't be excited about eating either!" So I decided to add flavoring that alternates between meals. It has WORKED! They always are so excited to eat breakfast and my little dog scarfs up her dinner. I think it is also helping the bigger dog to get the nutrition he needs - he's overweight, so we cut his food amount back. Recommendations on weight loss food for dogs says that it should have a very low amount of fat, and very high protein - we couldn't afford a higher protein content dog food (literally $70+ for a 30 lb bag) so I think these treats help him to get that.

I actually have a cat, not a dog. But PureBites are basically just dried meat/liver, so I don't see any difference between the cat and dog treat; and the dog ones usually come in bigger bags and cost less per ounce.These treats are plain dried duck liver, with a medium-strong scent very typical to liver; as far as I could smell, to liver seems good quality. The pieces range from small to big chunks, but they can be easily broken up in smaller bits; most of the pieces were whole, with some dusting at the bottom. The duck liver bits are more crumbly and powdery when broken down that the meat assortments.For my cat I needed to crumble most of the pieces, I don't mind that I have to broke them into pieces (is very easy). From what I could tell, she kind of liked the taste, but not the texture (maybe); she barely touched most of the chunks, but she eat the dusting and the small pieces (the ones as small as kibbles). From the PureBites rand my cat definitely prefers more the salmon, chicken and shrimp varieties (cat or dog treats).I like that I'm able to find for my cat treats with plain, great quality natural ingredients. It's cheaper to cook her raw meat/liver, but I also like the convenience.The bag is from a sturdy plastic and the ziploc seals very well.Note: Product delivered in January 2019 has an expiration date in 2021.

LOVES THESE. as other reviewers suggested the branded dog treats are a better value than the branded cat ones & seem to be the same product. Since cats are obligate carnivores while dogs are closer to omnivores it's arguable these are better cat "toppers" for the crude protein content (still higher than necessary even for cats ~64%). These are not cheap, subjective to each animals' taste/ dietary needs, & as other reviewers have pointed out freeze dried (therefore some contaminants can remain because this is 100% meaty meat). Also let's be real- we're feeding our pets duck liver. We obviously really care about them.Overall my 9 year old, healthy, shelter cat really likes these. The liver varies in size from flattened peas to large flattened cherries. They didn't arrive crumbled but i actually crumble about 1 tbsp & mix them with her kibble. Usually she's not very picky though. Haven't tried any other purebites brand "toppers" but am sold on trying others so she can have more varied TREATS. I'd give the duck liver 4 stars because it's $8/2.6 oz.Rant/PSA : Please remember even though we care for our animals a lot we aren't veterinary nutritionists & these are marketed as treats & only treats. Even cats (relatives of lions, tigers, jaguars, oh my!) don't need 64% crude protein content.
