Lend a paw spa12/23/2023 I will probably buy these again as an occasional treat, mostly because I like the shape. Sisci took almost an hour on the project and Ru managed to steal the last bit when she was momentarily distracted. How Much We Like Them: Brisbane finished his in about 15 minutes flat. dogs with potato, tapioca, pea, or bacon allergies. Not Good For: Lasting longer than a bully stick of similar size. Dogs with beef, poultry, egg, grain, or sweet potato allergies. Good For: Lasting about as long as a bully stick of similar size while being totally non-stinky. I noticed this after the fact, but Ru ate a 2" piece of Sisci's infinity chew and lived to tell the tale. The fine print on the packaging says this chew is not suitable for dogs under 10 lbs. Amazing! Boundless chews are made out of potato, tapioca, glycerin, peas, milk, bacon fat, sunflower oil, and some vitamins. It contains no poultry products, no egg products, no corn, no barley, and no sweet potato. Shockingly, the bacon flavor is safe for Brisbane's many food allergies. They were available in two flavors, chicken and bacon. The ones I bought were medium, for 21-50 lb dogs, and they were $5.99 each. They are made in the USA, but some of the ingredients may be imported. Maybe they're only available in certain test markets?Īt my local Petco, Dogswell Boundless chews come in two sizes, for medium and large dogs. With time and repetition, the animal learns to wait for the food to come to them, rather than rushing toward me to get it.Īccording to the Dogswell Facebook, "Boundless Long Lasting Chews are actually a new product and as of now are only being sold in Petco stores." Apparently they aren't particularly being advertised or promoted, either. This works surprisingly well, much better than timidly offering a treat that they could just as easily knock out of my hand as they reach for it. I took classes at a teaching zoo years ago, and one of the things I learned was to give food rewards by shoving my entire hand in the animal's mouth. Essentially, I need a way to hold food while my hand is in range of their jaws. Tossing treats also doesn't work very well when attempting to teach a new trick using a food lure. I do this with Ranger and Annie when I want to reward them very quickly, but it has the side effect of reinforcing treat chomping. One way is to use soft, lickable treats like peanut butter, spray cheese, or LeanLix.Īnother way to save your fingers is to toss treats instead of handing them. There are a number of ways to give treats to a dog that doesn't mind grabbing a finger or two. Ranger is eleven years old, and Annie is nine, so I'm not expecting to undo a lifetime of finger-chomping. Taking treats gently can be a difficult skill to learn as an adult, and is something that needs to be reinforced perpetually. I'm pretty sure Ranger is actually an Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog based on the shape of his head and his coloring.Īs adult rescue dogs, Ranger and Annie both tend to take treats roughly. Ranger was my first foster dog nine years ago, and Annie is his little sister that their family adopted a year later. They come to visit and herd sheep and hike and join us on our adventures periodically. Super cute.Ĭons: The squeaker in the star body stopped squeaking pretty quickly.īottom Line: Definitely tougher than your average cheap stuffed toy. Pros: Heavy-duty toy capable to standing up to lots of flinging and shaking and maybe a little bit of tugging. I'm not overly fond of the light color, this toy has already been through the wash a number of times because it looks dirty the moment the dogs touch it. The edge seams are all reinforced, but the connecting seam between the body and tail seems like a weak point. Obviously this star is a big hit, with it's long flappy tail. I appreciate that this one is unambiguously a celestial object. star stuffy that arrived in our June BarkBox, but I think Sisci might like this one better. It's the second star stuffy we've gotten this year in our BarkBox. This toy is actually made by Swag Company, exclusively for BarkBox. There is a squeaker in the star itself, and another in the tail. The construction seems very solid, the fabric is thick and tough and the seams are clearly reinforced. It's a fairly large toy, with a smiling star and a long tail. This BarkMade Shooting Star stuffy arrived in our September allergy-friendly BarkBox.
