BARK Clucky Lil' Starz Chicken Recipe Soft & Chewy Dog Training Treats, 6-oz bag

I purchased these for my mini Dachshunds for training as well as to place in toys. I will keep these on hand!

These dog treats come in cute packaging that are very eye-catching, but I was a bit disappointed to see that the first two ingredients listed are flour and rice. The manufacturer does highlight that the treats are "protein-packed," but I would have preferred to see real meat or other whole-food proteins at the top of the ingredient list. Oddly enough, the treats smell like molasses and have an unusual gummy, chewy texture. My dog was a bit unsure about them at first, likely due to the unfamiliar texture. However, she did seem to enjoy the taste and enjoys them now. Overall, despite some drawbacks in the ingredient quality, these treats ended up being an interesting change of pace.

We brought home our 8 week old puppy a few days ago. While she is absolutely adorable, and I personally cannot get enough puppy snuggles, she really only wants to sleep if she’s being held. We began clicker-training with her new bed, and the Lil’ Starz treats. By the afternoon, she was sleeping in her puppy bed, and my hands were free to wrap Christmas gifts. These treats are small and slightly soft. They must taste very good, because Maggie would inhale a bag if we let her. We were very impressed with the ingredient list, and have added the second flavor to our next autoship.
