Merrick Power Bites Real Texas Beef Recipe Grain-Free Soft & Chewy Dog Treats, 6-oz bag

These beefy power treats are perfect! They are the right size for a motivating treat! They smell good, don't dissolve in your pocket, and unlike liver treats, they don't have to be cut up. They can be squeezed a little so that they split open with aroma, or cut into for really little guys. I have a 5 lb.13 week Shitzu and a 70 lb. Golden Doodle, and I split in halve to cause them both to slow down and chew so that they enjoy it even more. I also use Merrick's cookie type treats as well, they break beautifully. If you need a really hard biscuit for a challenge, I use Grammys pot pie treats that are made in the shape of a piece of pie, are very hard and satisfying for the big dogs.

Wing a Lings are a softer crunchy treat that chicken lovers must have! Most brand dog foods have sweet potato/ yams in everything, but if your dog has an allergy to them that makes it rough to feed your pet. Merrick has lots of other choices without yams. My whole family loves the quality, and ease of use with these treats for our boys! … more

Because our Golden has so many allergies, we have to check all the ingredients in all treats. Since these had no wheat, corn, whey, etc., and they only had a few calories in each piece, I thought they would be a good treat. When they were delivered, I opened them up to give our Golden one to see if he liked them and I was shocked at the size! They are in the shape of a star and probably just a tiny bit bigger than a green pea. I gave our Golden one and he spit it out because he probably didn't know how to chew such a small treat. We gave him another one and he did chew it and now he has no problem chewing them (basically, one chew will do it).

I do wish that one or two of each treat was shown outside the bag so that we could see how big they are prior to purchasing. There is a lot in the bag and, right now, I'm not sure if I would reorder these again. I gave the product 4 stars (and the stars shown are about as big as the treat) because of the calorie content, being grain free and because our dog does like them. If only they were bigger (maybe the size of 2 stars together and keep the same caloric content), I would give them 5 stars. … more

We love Merrick (it's the brand of food we feed our pup), so we figured these would be a great training treat. I'm not sure what it is, but he won't touch these. They feel like they're probably a little harder than they should be, almost like they're stale - but the expiration date isn't even remotely close. It's disappointing because Merrick has great quality treats and food, so I'm not sure what happened here. (Two stars in case we got a bad batch, and for Merrick's great quality of ingredients.)

My bulldog mix has had skin allergies in the past so I try to be mindful of what proteins he eats and avoid food with lots of unknown fillers. So since I started using training treats, I've been looking for the perfect balance of cost and quality. It's surprising how pricey training treats can be! I ran across these beef bites and they seemed to be that balance I wanted. Both of my dogs love them and I feel good giving them without breaking the bank!

My dog loved them but the pieces are smaller than a dime so to me it seems like I am paying more than what he is getting. I thought they would be a little bigger. I am giving it a 3 star because of the fact they are grain free and my dog loves them. After reading the ingredients, my granddaughter (12 years old) tried them and thought they tasted like beef jerky. Needless to say her mom and I were shocked she did that.

Bought this because of the great reviews. Unfortunately it didn't work out with my dog. She took one into her mouth and then immediately spit it out. I tried to sneak it in with her regular food. She would eat everything else and the power bites were the only thing left in her bowl. I now have a whole bag of power bites and don't know what to do with them.

These are tiny tiny things..... which to me is great to keep in my pocket to reward my pups with - but yet not so big - you need to worry about gaining weight or breaking pieces into smaller pieces. My dogs love them - "IF" they even get to taste them - cause they are so tiny - but gets their attention.

I bought 2 bags because it was a good price, but when I got them both bags wasn't sealed at all and the treats were hard! And I read some of the comments on this and some previous buyers said when they got there treats they had the same result. Only giving it 2 stars cause my dog still eats it no matter what lol

These treats are very small and get hard quickly. They don't stay soft and chewy if you don't seal the bag completely. They would work for small training treats or for a small dog but are not substantial enough for a larger dog. We end up giving 5-6 at a time to equal one treat because they are so small.

We bought these to use for training our Aussie as he is very picky. At first he wanted nothing to do with them probably because all the others he was given he didn't like. Well once he finally eat one, it was all over from there!! He would sit and listen to every command after that!
