Our First Chewy Review

We have joined the Chewy.com #ChewyInfluencer Group of Bloggers and the boys are really going to enjoy it.  This month for our first review I picked Wellness Pure Rewards in the Beef Jerky flavor.

Here is what Chewy.com says about these treats:

Product Description

No problems motivating Rufus to roll over when you're rewarding him with a bit of beef jerky! Wellness Pure Rewards Grain-Free Beef Jerky Bits Dog Treats are made with over 90% pure, high-quality beef and are the ideal size for training. The wheat-free, grain-free formula makes them perfect for pups with sensitive stomachs, too.

Key Benefits

• Dried Chicory Root reduces the risk of worms
• Mixed tocopherols are great for the eyes and protect against common ocular diseases
• Wellness Pure Rewards Beef Jerky Dog Treats contain no artificial colors or flavors

I liked the sounds of these treats for their limited ingredients.  You know what you're getting in the treats.

Here is the list of ingredients:

Beef, Dried Chicory Root, Dried Cultured Whey Product, Salt, Lecithin, Mixed Tocopherols added to preserve freshness.

This is a naturally preserved product.

The boys are pictures below getting to try them out for the first time.  Tucker couldn't wait to tear into the package.

A great size for training

And it tears up nicely for even smaller rewards for training.

Taste testing! 

Teach gives these treats 2 paws up!  He loves them and even loved learning his freeze alert drill for nose work working for them.  We have video of that.

In this video he needs to keep his nose on the scent container while the treats are in the other hand.  We are learning this drill for nose work class.  Teach is hard to read when he is on the scent so this will help me out.  And he really loved working for these treats.  

Tucker actually didn't like these treats, but Teach said that is okay as its more for him and he's just a silly puppy who doesn't know what is good.  Tucker, recently, has become picky with things so I'm not really surprised.

I like these treats for training.  They aren't to smelly and only a tad greasy feeling.  But with the limited ingredients and knowing what my guys are getting makes it worth using.  We would recommend these treats to others.

We're looking forward to doing another review next month for Chewy.  And we're excited to have joined the Chewy Blogger family.

I was given one bag of Wellness Pure Beef Jerky treats in exchange for a honest review.  This review reflects the opinion of myself and my dogs.  Chewy.com is not responsible for anything that I wrote.

Life With a Puppy

How soon you forget what its like to have a puppy in the house!  As I've said several times over the past two weeks ... its a good thing he's cute!

Just look at that face!

Training is going good.  We're taking it slow and doing a lot of play together for bonding and some sits, a little bit of heeling and learning how to stack (that is the hardest for me!).  Here we are working on our recall which is great at.  He comes running and leaps up into my arms!

 

Teach is a saint ... he puts up with a lot and Tucker dishes out a lot.  Sometimes we have to step in and tell Tucker enough because you can tell by the look on Teach's face he's had enough.  Most of the time Tucker listens and goes to play with something else ... but it only lasts so long ... you know Puppy ADD and all.

He growing and has changed a lot since the photo up there which is just a week old.  I can see his ears are getting bigger and his legs longer.  The ears are still taped and will stay that way until he's almost a year old.  At that point I hope its all worth it and they tip.  Having them taped doesn't bother him at all.  The only hindrance is he can't play with everyone because I don't want a random paw to get stuck in the string and yank them.  That wouldn't be good.  But only a few more weeks of being tied and then they will just be taped.

We're still having food issues and trying to get that sorted out.  He loves what he is eating but it doesn't seem to love him to much.  We may be going to something else in the near future to get that straightened out.  Right now its hit or miss.

House training is going so-so as well.  I think we've taken the upswing though and hope it stays.  I can say he is 99.9% crate trained so that helps.  He doesn't mess in it (unless I don't get up when he's crying which happened yesterday morning ... my fault!  Learned my lesson on that one!).  

Tucker does seem to enjoy hiking and has gone out with Teach a few times.  Last week we also went with Gabe.  

Here are a few pictures.

Watching the big dogs play!
