Merrick Hungry Dog Value Pack Assorted Dog Treats

My name is Nougat and I am a little over a year old, and I am a Border Collie mix. I have had my first bag for several months now and it is time to reorder, so my human mommy and daddy asked me to help give a review. Now to the important stuff, I give this bag of treats 4 paws because as I told my mommy, "There is always room for improvement, from my viewpoint anyway and I didn't have any of my doggie friends with me to add another paw." I don't get to have these treats too often, only once or twice a week (and no that did not go into my ratings, no really, it didn't). My folks and I really like that these are not your standard rawhide chews, the ones made from that inner skin layer of beef, which can upset my tummy, so we try and stay away from those.

But for methodical chewers of any size, these are an excellent value, and the Merrick brand is very trustworthy, based in the US, and as far as I know never subject to a food recall.

For reference, I have a chihuahua and a pomeranian, who are between 7 and 9 pounds. They can barely lift some of the cow hocks and hooves, but it doesn't seem to keep them from chewing them and enjoying them. I also gave a bag as a gift to my parents' 90-pound Lab/shepherd mix, and she enjoyed them as well.

Facts and figures: Rawhide pieces have been between 2x2" and...Read more
