Well I want to do reviews is because, I have just known this recently supermarket dog food is not that healthy for dogs. Online have so much reviews, sometimes its helpful but sometimes it's really hard to find information and advice on some things! And reviewing does sound fun especially when you have a good partner. My Siberian Husky pup, Misa.
First I want to review is these biscuits.
Zuke's mini bakes biscuit
Chicken and cherry flavoured.
Ingredients: Ground oats, rice bran, chicken, cherries, potatoes, oat fiber, blackstrap molasses, oil blend (sunflower, olive and canola), natural vegetable flavours.
On their website it is stated "That means the finest meats, premium grains, fruits, vegetables and oils available. All natural ingredients, all sourced in the USA (except our rabbit and venison which come from New Zealand), with final products made in the USA . "
On the box it says chicken for protein and cherries is antioxidant rich. But from hearing a lot of people, since chicken and cherry is 3rd and 4th on the ingredient list, and there's no percentage next to it so I doubt there's a lot in the wee biscuit.
It cost £8.06, think it's quite expensive for a box of snack biscuits. Had this box of biscuits and I'm nearly finished with it, well the dogs are nearly finished it haha.
Crystal and Misa doesn't mind eating, I mean, it's a snack, of course they will eat it. But they aren't going crazy for it. I didn't find it that helpful for training Misa. She isn't that bothered if I don't give her it, so it was hard to use it to train her to do tricks and when we are out for a walk. Crystal is already old so training on her was just pointless, she will eat anything thats edible haha. Also, I found it really difficult to break the biscuit in half even though it have the wee dent in it. And it will crumble to tiny bits, so don't like using this for training. But recently, near the end of the box, about a month later, it's fine to break the biscuits now haha, think it's not as hard and crispy.
These biscuits don't crumble easy unless you break the biscuit in half purposely of course, so its good to take a handful of them to put in your pocket and won't leave crumbs. It doesn't have a big smell so for people who hate treats with strong scents this is good. I don't think it smells like chicken or cherry. I actually really like the smell, it smells like Horlick, the malted drink, so if u hate horlick then this probably won't be good for you haha.
There is three flavours in total
Chicken n Cherryz, Turkey n’ Taterz, and Peanut Butter n’ Blueberryz
And there's other types of treats. Mainly for dogs and a couple for cats.
Zuke's been open for a long time and it is quite popular among dog bloggers. They donate 5% of their sales to Dog % Cat cancer fund. They do sound like a very nice caring pet business.
Their company is in USA, and I live in UK so it is annoying to buy. I bought it from Amazon and it is nice to treat your love ones with nice treats. =)

The company is dog friendly. Misa is fine eating it. A bit expensive. But I might try another product from Zuke, maybe a different flavour or a different type of snack. But having Crystal gone, will take ages to finish one box, so high chance I will try a different type of snack. They also do moist snacks for dogs not too keen on dry snacks. The fillets looks quite interesting too.
