Primal Freeze-Dried Treats Review

I'm always in the market for tasty treats for the dogs. I received the chance to review Primal Treats for dogs from Chewy.com. With dogs as different and diverse as the five that I have, I knew this would be a great opportunity.

At First Glance

What makes freeze-dried treats stand out is that the flavor is saved through this preservation technique but does not need any additives. As a result, the beef liver treats that I gave the dogs had only one ingredient — Beef Liver. Looking at them, you can see small rectangular cubes (pictured right). They were firm but with a little give, so you could break them apart if need be. However, with the way the dogs could smell them, making them smaller was not required.

All About The Taste Of It

No matter how simple a treat can be, the true test of success is how much the dogs like it. It's safe to say, when the

dogs saw me removing these from the bag, I had their complete attention. They would stay motionless in anticipation. And when the time came, boy, did they down it. Their wasn't one dissatisfied dog in the house.

The Final Verdict

Primal Treats are an excellent choice for your dog. Although, it's a small-size package, it's good to know that you are giving your dog a healthy treat that can last awhile if you give it as an occasional treat. Like organic treats, quality is to be considered before price when deciding on this treat. However, if you're seeking a treat that is tasty and healthy at the same time, this is the way to go. A special thanks to the folks from Chewy.com for making this review possible.

Dog Treat Recall

Hi All!

Happy Friday to you guys! Today I am writing to inform you that in the news, the Makers of Merrick Dog Treats are recalling their Beef Filet Squares for dogs. In December, during routine testing they tested positive for salmonella. Upon further inspection, the cause is believed to have come from a packing deficiency.

If you purchased this product, check the date. Any package labeled with a package date of "Best By 111911" should be immediately discarded. These products are found at many pet stores nationwide as well as online. For more information, you can read the article in full at USA Today.

If any of you have run into a problem similar to this with your dogs, please drop a comment below. Well, I hope you all have a great weekend.

Dog Ice Cream

Being that August is called the Dog Days of Summer, a great way to keep your dog cool is giving them ice cream that's made for dog. You can make your own or buy some.

The recipe I came across that I liked best was from the House Dog where she came up with a recipe for dog ice cream:

• 3 cups of water
• 1 cup of non-fat yogurt
• 1/4 cup of honey

After mixing all three together, you put the mixture into ice cube trays. Freeze and then give three or four of them to your dog as a treat.

Another cool recipe is a dog pupsicle. This is from the Dog Pound.

2 cups low salt beef or chicken broth
2/3 cup water
2 or 3 ice cube trays
Small rawhide sticks

Mix water with beef or chicken broth and pour into ice cube trays R. Place in freezer and serve cold. Add a rawhide stick halfway through the freezing. This recipe is quick, easy, and fun. It's probably best to serve this dish outside.

There was a great ice cream dessert recipe from Recipe Goldmine called Doggie Dessert:

Doggie Dessert

4 cups rice milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey or peanut butter

Set paper cupcake liners into a muffin tin. In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients. Use a cup with a spout to pour the mixture into the muffin cups. Freeze.

To serve, remove paper liner and place treat in dog or cat bowl.

For a double treat, place a miniature dog biscuit in the filled muffin tin before freezing.

Although some of these recipes have yogurt, the amount of lactose in yogurt should be low enough, not to upset their digestive systems.


Also, there are some companies that make it so you don't have to do any of the work. Some of them are:

Cold Nose Creamery You can pick this up in Ayer, Massachuesetts and parts of Connecticut.

Frosty Paws This ice cream can be found in most grocery stores all over the country.

Waggs Foods in Britain also creates dog ice cream that was formulated by nutritionists. You can read more about it here.

Well, thanks for stopping in. I hope you all have a great day.
