Zuke's 16-Ounce Mini Bakes Dog Treats

It may sound crazy but from time to time I do taste what I feed my dogs especially when they are made with all natural ingredients.(no I don't taste test can food or their normal dry food) You can actually taste the blueberries. I always wonder if a pet product says it tastes like peanut butter or filet mignon, or jerky, does it? etc. I certainly wouldn't want to do more than my taste experiment but I think my dogs are getting what you pay for and they like them(my dogs love everything). Also I feel the price is reasonable and you can split the treats in half which makes the box stretch. I have found that even big dogs don't care about the size of the treat as long as they get one.

No corn

No wheat

No artificial colors, flavors, or by-products

Made in the USA

I've always liked the Zukes offerings and so do my pooches. When I noticed they made a product called turkey 'n taterz, I had to buy it so my girls could try it. Evie the bichon loved them right away and gobbled several of the flat-bottomed, oval treats in short order. Ever the fussy one, Piper the shih tzu had to be cajoled and had to see if Evie liked them. After her first taste, Piper was a convert soon begging for more.

The crunchy treats come in a convenient small size, but have an indentation in the middle so that one can more readily break them in two for dainty dogs who like small bites. (Namely Piper the shih tzu)

Made with USDA turkey and fresh potatoes, these wholesome treats are bound to get the attention of spudophiles everywhere. Give them as treats or rewards or sprinkle them on the dinner plate for those reluctant fussy eaters. (See Piper above)

Buy Zuke's 16-Ounce Mini Bakes Dog Treats Now

We switched over to these after seeking out some natural treats. We were growing tired of the poor quality of ingredients in mainstream products. Our dogs took to these treats immediately. We started with Turkey and Taterz and have also given them the Chicken and Cherries. The mini bakes are bite sized, so they are great for training. If you have a smaller dog, the treats have a mild indentation so they can be split in half.

**Well, I'm amending my review... in the negative. 10 more dogs found it completely unappetizing. Some wouldn't even pay attention to me when I held it out. The few who tried seemed to spit it out in confusion, like, "Why does a cookie taste bad? I don't understand this." Have to return. Wholly disappointing.

As a behaviorist at a local shelter, I need lots of different types of treats to keep dogs' attention. I trust Zuke's to make non-reactive yet enticing doggie snacks and had success with their moist "mini naturals", so I thought I'd give this a shot. I bought the Blueberry flavor. So far, 5 dogs have informed me in varying ways that they couldn't give less of a flip that these are edible. I've had them spat on the ground or flat-out ignored. I have no idea where Zuke's went so wrong with this treat, but 5 otherwise treat-motivated pups give it two paws down.

Risking disgusted stares, I will venture this information; I occasionally taste a crumb of a dog treat. These were entirely bland and tasteless, and frankly reminded me of the insides of a vitamin pill. No hint of blueberry or peanut butter... and downright sandy. They may be starting to sell old stock from the back of the warehouse, as others had good experiences earlier with this treat. I can't explain this shelter's unanimous population down-vote any other way.

Want Zuke's 16-Ounce Mini Bakes Dog Treats Discount?

After reading the reviews I bought one of each Zuke's mini bakes flavor. I have offered them to my own dogs as well as several training client's dogs. The reaction varies between dog smelling treat and turning away, dog taking treat and spitting it out, and dog taking treat reluctantly and eating it but not looking for more. All three flavors have a stale sawdust smell. No, I will not buy them again.
