Hi Dopers, Cooper the Portie again, this time I wanted to bark about my favorite doggie treats, maybe give some other Doper Doggies ideas as to what to ask for…
Free treats…
Sticks!, I like apple tree sticks best, closely followed by sugar maple sticks, they’re crunchy, make fun noises when I break them, and there’s a never ending supply of them in the yard, Dad likes them 'cause they’re free
Store bought treats…
Milk Bone “scooby snack” biscuits; meh, they’re okay, nothing special, I pretend to like them because niece and nephew got them for me and I don’t want to hurt their feelings
Greenies; Blech! These are icky, how could anyone like them, I think they’re designed to trick humans into buying them thinking that we dogs like “healthy” treats, nope, Greenies are Grossy
Crumps Naturals freeze dried beef liver chunks; or as I call them, Puppy Crack! These are so nummy I could eat an entire bag all at once, but no, dad is stingy with them, I guess that makes them more special
Tricky Trainers salmon flavor nuggets; these are also nummy, and soft and chewy too, I don’t know which ones I like better, the Crumps liver treats, or the TTC’s, I know, BOTH!
…and my favorite of all doggie treats…
NutriSea Sea Jerky sticks, these are super, super nummy, and I wish I could eat an entire bag, but Dad only gives me one a day, I practically do backflips of joy when I see that bag in his hand, I can easily get about two to three feet in the air jumping with joy, these are the tastiest dog treats I ever had, they’re made with a mix of beef and sea cucumber, and they’re just awesomely good, plus, they’re made right here in Maine, Dad sent the company a nice letter telling them how much I liked them, and the nice owner lady wrote back the next day, thanking him for the nice letter, and even better, sending me a FREE BAG of the nummy Sea Jerky, he wrote the letter last night, the owner lady responded this morning, and the package is already on the way, should be here tomorrow, my first very own mail package, I’m excited!
And the best stuff, the stuff I’d KILL for? (Well not really kill, but you get my meaning), it’s the sausage treats they sell at a local sporting goods store, it’s made for humans, but Dad shares it with me, one of them is made with venison (deer meat), and the other is made with alligator meat (tastes like chicken, actually)
Dad told me that he will only feed me the good jerky treats that are made here in the USA, because some jerky treats from China have been making dogs and cats very sick and some have even died due to contaminants in the treats, why would these companies do such mean things to us?
Dad’s promised me that no pet product made in China will ever be brought into our home, no jerky treats, cookies, food, or toys, he says the only Chinese stuff I could eat is Chinese food from the local restaurants that is made for human consumption anyway and has to conform to USDA standards…
