WELCOME TO THE FOOD GROUP - This group was started in an attempt to present well-researched and FACT-based information on the amazingly complicated and confusing issue of feeding our dogs. There are also many issues we would like to explore. We thought it would be helpful to put all of these questions, information, and feedback into one place here on DK where everyone can find it, contribute to it, ask questions, and learn together.
WE ASK THAT YOU NOT POST ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRODUCTS FOR WHICH YOU RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF COMMISSION OR COMPENSATION. THANK YOU.
IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ "FOOD GROUP GUIDELINES" BEFORE STARTING A NEW DISCUSSION.

Tired of the same food

I think this is an easy question. I think Maggie is tired of her food. She's been eating the same thing for a long time, and she's kind of blah on it. She's my most reluctant eater anyway.She's eating Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost Beef. She's…Continue

Your favorite high value treats?

Started by J and Riley (and Luna). Last reply by Kathy and Ruby Skye Aug 11, 2019. 24 Replies

Riley LOVES her kibble but she is really not super motivated by any treats we've tried.  We really haven't tried that many (just pure bites chicken and Zuke's minis, right now using a different Fromm kibble as treats) but we need a couple different…Continue

My turn to ask for advice. :)Jasper's digestive system has gotten a little bit "off" the past few weeks. I'm chalking it up to new and different treats, and too many of them; the treats were being dispensed very liberally during the weeks leading up…Continue

It really depends on your individual dog's likes and chewing styles. I would stick with individual items rather than "variety packs". 

And a reminder, we do have a list of recommended treat brands up at the top of the page, as well as many discussions about various kinds of chews. To look for these discussions, simply click "View All" right above this Comments section and then enter your search term..i.e. "chews" and you will get a list of all the discussions here in this group having to do with chews.

Comment by Carolyn & Barkley the Bear on April 26, 2019 at 10:11am

I’m looking for a good chew/treat for Barkley as well.  I see Barkworthies has many different items... bully sticks, trachea, cows tails.  Are there any that I should stay away from?  He is a big chewer and will chew up anything I give him pretty quickly!  But I do like to give him a treat now and then.

Thank you!

Only Natural Pet brand is good too.

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on April 26, 2019 at 9:59am

Glancing at some of their offerings, I see Amazon has Best Bully Stciks brand and Bravo brand. Both fine.

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on April 26, 2019 at 9:57am

Barkworthies.
Be careful with sourcing on Amazon.

Comment by Bonnie and Kona on April 26, 2019 at 9:45am

Anyone have a favorite brand of beef trachea? Amazon has so many brands.

Comment by Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle on April 26, 2019 at 9:16am

Yep, in those kinds of stores, I never even ask about the brands of the bulk chews. They guarantee sourcing and they've already done the research. Nice.

Comment by J and Riley (and Luna) on April 26, 2019 at 9:08am

There are a few small pet shops nearby that don't buy anything with questionable sourcing.  Makes picking up nice treats easy for us :)  not even sure of the brand but this latest beef trachea was Canadian
