20 Best Treats For Golden Retrievers (2023 Updated)

Finally a treat my little girl likes. I’ve bought dozens and dozens of different treats, foods, and flavors. I’ve end up giving away; because my dog won’t eat them. She knows what she likes; the picky little bugger.

They are expensive though !. Why I get very reluctant trying different flavors. We have settled on Honest Kitchen as our favorite brand; because she likes “almost” everything I’ve tried so far. Almost.

Wish Honest Kitchen would sell sample bundles of their treats too. I know I would buy a lot more; if I knew she would like them first.

A holistic vet suggested this food when we were going on a trip with our 3 dogs. I only could bring a certain amount of the frozen raw food we had been feeding them daily. So we did have a chance to give 1/2 Honest Kitchen & half of their regular food.

They absolutely loved the food & ate it with relish. Very handy on trips. Easy to make. You can always add some crunchy toppers if your dogs like crunch. Honest Kitchen has plenty of those.

Our newly rescued dog wasn’t eating much of anything, so I wasn’t overly optimistic when I offered this treat. Surprise! He happily ate it and wanted more. These have been great in helping with training as I easily break them into smaller pieces – and I also hide them so he can find them for fun.

Thanks THK!.

Ive been using these R&R jerky dog sticks for a couple years now. They remain my exclusive go-to treat for a solid “come when called” request. I also started using a short whistle to associate with the yummy treat, so that the whistle alone will give me the same result.

I also love that the treats are soft and not greasy, so you can break them into small pieces easily and without the greasy mess that cut off pieces of hot dogs make in your pocket and hands. I started out using the beef based treats, and recently tried the gourmet chicken.

She loves both. Lola is a 3 year old Aussie, and can be quite a handful, but whatever she’s thinking about doing next, she will always respond to these. A great training treat! They are pretty pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

Danka, a 2-year-old Husky, is the newest addition to my Dutch family (11-year-old Shepherd mix). Danka requires extensive training, and both dogs are eager to please for these treats. To use for reward training, I break down the huge jerky-type pieces that these liver treats come in into very small bits.

They break easily (and are scored, which helps a lot), so a bag lasts a long time, even if I’m rewarding for several different behaviors throughout the day. They appear to enjoy the flavor, even on treats that aren’t beef, and they have no odor.

They don’t crumble in my treat container because they’re dried formed slabs like jerky rather than cubes like other liver treats, so there’s no waste. I can’t say enough excellent things about this product, and I’m glad Subscribe and Save is available since I’ll be buying it again.

We got these to give to both of our dogs when we were trying to crate train them. Our dogs were crate trained very fast and easily and I believe it was because of these jerky sticks. They go right to their crates when told and are very excited to get these sticks every time.

They even look like jerky sticks that humans would and could eat. We LOVE the Rocco & Roxie products and these are no exception. HIGHLY recommend!.

Rich and moist! When training a puppy you hear about “high value treats” – all of the flavors of Nice Jerky Bites are big draws for our AKC Russell Terrier pup, Ranger! Guaranteed to get his attention! The design allows for breaking off bits – as toppers or treats in an interactive dog puzzle toy.

We have family in Boulder and so it was exciting to find your products in Vermont & then order them from your website. I know I can trust the bag with the Flatirons and the Golden’s silhouette.

I like to buy the large bags of these jerky bites because they’re much better value for the money than the 4 oz size. These treats are a real staple for us with training and rewards. They have a nice soft, moist texture and very easy to break apart into much smaller sizes, because a little goes a long way.

This was our first time trying the chicken and salmon flavor (our usual flavor was sold out), and I’m pleased that my dog seems to enjoy these just as much.

I opened the Chewy box, and I gave Luigi one of his new turkey duck treats. I left the room for a few minutes and returned to put the treats, etc. away. I couldn’t find the turkey duck treats. I thought I must have brought them with me when I left the room.

Nope, that wasn’t the case. I couldn’t find them anywhere near the Chewy box. Luigi had taken the whole package, and hid them behind a chair. He was very proud of himself. These are now his favorite treat.

2 paws up! My daughter’s rescue dog, a senior Black Mouth Cur (think “Old Yeller”), is very picky about his food and usually not treat motivated. However, this is one of his favorites! I think he would eat the entire bag in one sitting if I let him! I feel good about giving him this healthy treat generously without worrying about him getting an upset stomach.

My two 4. 5 lb Maltese are awesome @ agility. We have all the equipment except the Catwalk. These treats are soft, so we cut them up into 16 very small pieces. They get one piece for a run in each direction.

Therefore, they only get 1/2 a square for their practice. They run back really fast knowing they are getting a tiny treat. They are happy! Dog’s don’t need huge treats for affirmation of a job well done.

Therefore, Happy & not obese dogs!.

I bought one of every kind of treat that was available on the site to see what my dogs liked and didn’t like. So far, they love every package I have opened! The interesting thing is that none of the treats or the Bully Sticks have any odor.

If you have smelled other Bully Sticks, you know how important this is! You can tell that all of the products are really fresh and they are packaged so nicely. The plastic zip bags that they come in actually work perfectly time and time again and the material used is really thick and hearty.

That is a nice change from most treats sold by others. I can’t say enough about how good they must taste. Our GoldenDoodle Litter of puppies are easy to train with the training size treats and they all sit at attention and look up to see what they are getting next! It is such a bonus to be able to put a handful of any of your treats in my pocket and not have them leave a stain in the pocket.

The treats are super clean, no odor, no staining and your fingers are clean after you handle them! So many things to love about these treats! I also love the fact that everything is natural and only one ingredient is used!.

We LOVE these treats. Continuing with the “nite-nite” gizzard review, these and the Hearty Bites are number 2 in our nightly routine. After turkey gizzards are completely enjoyed for putting away their toys, it’s a dash outside to tend to final business then patiently waiting at the back door with backsides wagging for the Beef Heart and Hearty Bites treats while I lock up then off to their beds and treat 3 before the lights go out.

Their final trip outside every night used to take a long, long time with all they had to smell and inspect, but they love the treats waiting for them inside so much that they’ve replaced the routine smell and inspect with a quiet, but fierce warning howl of their presence to any night creatures as they hurry back inside.

They are hysterical. I tried to substitute a left over treat from pre-Campfire days, but they both dropped the treat and went right back outside — and stayed. The quality of Campfire treats is well above any others and worth every cent.

On top of that, I so appreciate the attention and care with which they carry out their business. Thank you for taking time to let me know my pups matter.

I was looking for a low fat jerky treat made in the USA for my 8 year old rescue. She really loves jerky but unfortunately they are typically high in fat. She was having some pancreas issues and high fat treats are a no go.

I wanted a safe option for her but could only find low fat jerky made in china which I refuse to do. Came across the campfire treats website and decided to give this mom and pop shop a try. I was a little concerned when I got the treats because they are crunchy.

My girl loves chewy treats so I didn’t think she would eat these. She really loves them and I can feel good knowing they are made in the USA with no ingredients that will hurt her. Give them a try. I bet your dog will love them.

I love the Pioneer Woman so this is not a bad review. Just letting you know that a small dog would have a hard time with it. I was looking for something soft for my elder dog with some teeth missing and this is not really soft, it is just not crunchy.

I cut it in tiny pieces for her and she loves it but I see she has trouble chewing it. Bigger & younger dogs would be ok with it I’m sure. I will keep watching for Pioneer Woman to make a softie for older and smaller dogs.

I also am from Oklahoma, part Choctaw and my husband always called me Pioneer Woman long before Ree was known because, like her, I always had something I was working on.

I have a Yorkie Princess. She curls her precious nose up at anything that isn’t to her Princess standards. She snarfs these down like a junk yard dog!! She’ll even ‘fake a pee’ hoping I’ll fall for it, and give her a treat.

The pieces are not all the same size, so depending on your dogs size and dietary needs, you may want to break some pieces in half or even smaller. My dog certainly doesn’t need a whole treat, for her potty duty.

So a package lasts a month or better. The package is resealable, and they stay fresh. I’m picky about where my dogs food and treats are manufactured, as well as the ingredients. I approve of both, my dog approves of the treats!.

When a product is made in the USA, it will say, “Made in USA”. This product states “proudly made in USA facilities”. This does not mean it was actually made in the USA, however, just that it was made in a facility owned or controlled by the brand.

Received this as a gift for our pets. When opening the bag, it immediately smelled like plastic, and then of diesel fuel. We cannot trust this brand as it is not transparent where the facility is located.

Levi Wrecks here, aka The youngest Airedale Terrier in our house. My sister, the old gal, ( also an Airedale Terrier) and I just love our Nutro Crunchy treats, we cant decide which we like the best, berry or the peanut butter or banana flavors best.

So our mom tries to get all the flavors when our nearby stores have them, otherwise she orders then from our favorite store. CHEWY !! and the order gets here so fast we dont have to starve for cookies at cookie hour ( 5:30 pm) thank you CHEWY for such great delivery.

Oh and Happy Birthday to you too !!!.

Would give 0 star if possible. Bought a bag from Costco. Since I started giving these to my dogs i noticed they would vomit after eating them. Tried calling the number thats written on the bag for a refund but no one answers evertime i call so I just threw the whole bag away.

What a waste of money!.

I bought my first package of Top Chews Chicken and Apple at Costco. It was on sale and when I verified ingrediants and that it was made in the US I bought it. I live in a Senior Apt facility and had lost my dog a year earlier but loved to give neighbor’s dogs a treat.

Some treats I’d been giving them they loved. others they didn’t like at all. This treat was loved by all the dogs without question.

I’ve purchased both the Newman’s Own Beef Jerky and the Newman’s Own Beef and Sweet Potato Jerky for several years now. The jerky in this larger-sized “Value-size” package did not have the typical jerky consistency that was the norm in the smaller packages I’ve bought.

Usually I have to use scissors to cut the large pieces into smaller ones; the treats in this order I could tear apart with my fingers. The treats in this Value-Size package were very light-weight, had a dry texture and even looked different from what I’d come to know as the norm.

(Best by 06/2023, so not out of date). I don’t know if the manufacturer has changed the ingredients or if the larger size package (or this particular package) was not the norm. If I had to guess, I’d say the manufacture has changed something.

My dog still likes them. But now that they are “crumbly” I can’t use them on the sports turf that my dog training club has installed for obedience and agility classes. Too bad.

I purchased Newman’s Own Snack Sticks because of the reputation of the Newman Brand (known for using wholesome ingredients). My dog needs to lose a few pounds and without depriving him, I thought this snack stick would be a good way to cut back on the calorie count.

My dog has a very expressive face. The first time I handed him a snack stick, he held it between his teeth, not sure he wanted it. When I told him to go lay down, he gave me, one of his looks (I’ll be back).

The next time I handed him a snack stick, he took it between his teeth, then dropped it on the floor in rejection and wouldn’t look me in the eyes. I picked it up and gave it to him again, he didn’t even give me a look, just left the kitchen.

Snack sticks vary in length, but generally about 4 inches long, and resembles a tightly wound cinnamon stick. They are very light weight and will cause your pet to want water. Pet Mom approved, but I am only guessing at what my dog would rate the snack stick.

I ordered these treats after seeing an instagram ad (from account ’whataboutbunny’)- it showed the treats & the woman described them as ‘soft and chewy’, which they appeared to be. unfortunately, the delivery left them at the bottom of our driveway, which is not allowed, because it is not visible from our house- there was no snow or ice preventing proper delivery, but there was freezing temperatures, & all of the ‘soft and chewy’ treats were dried out, hard & crumbly- not what i was expecting.

I would expect any food delivery service to be instructed to deliver to the door, and not to throw the box onto an unmelted lump of snow, in view of the road, but not the home- just seems crucial for food delivery.

On the other hand, my picky pup seemed to like these- i wonder if she would have liked the others as well, had they not been so dried out and brittle….

Our dog was on an HA diet with intestinal issues that turned out to be a cancerous mass. Luckily the surgeon removed all of it. But we needed a change of food that was easy on her and healthy. A friend told me about Open Farm.

I called and talked to your veterinarian nutritionist who suggested harvest chicken and ancient grains and boy was it an easy transition. She loves it and is doing well. Thanks for the great products.
