Merrick Texas Hold'ems Premium Lamb Lung Filets Dog Treats

I keep this in my pocket and break small pieces off to reward my dog. I also will slow feed the larger piece to him when he is anxious, he can bite off little pieces while a truck is going by, or he is around other people and dogs and needs to calm himself down.

This is because they want you to buy the smaller bag for more money! Just stop selling it because it is never in stock!

I was looking for a super high value treat that I could use for training but wanted something that fit the following criteria: pre-made, crunchy, not oily, smelly, easy to break into small pieces. And this fits the bill! They are super fragrant (and it sticks to your hands) but it leaves no physical residue on your hands or clothes! My pup LOVES these and they only come out for special occasions (show ring). Some pieces are harder to break than others, but still a great HVT.

My vet recommended lamb lung as a lower fat treat for my Dal girl, as she was losing her svelte waist that she needs to have for showing. She's involved in performance events too, and I use a lot of treats for training. So the cheese and sausages needed to be cut down a LOT. Lamb lung is really high in protein, so keep that in mind. These filets will cut up pretty easily into small treats if you use a good knife, so I don't have to give her a huge piece when rewarding. I like that they are dry, but don't seem to require any time for her to chew up before moving on to the next thing. They won't break up small with bare hands, though, use a knife; even a good pocket knife will do.

As far as high value, she likes these as much or better, than anything I've treated or baited with. I will probably use them at our next dog show. … more

Literally the best dog treat ever. Great for dogs that are sensitive to other proteins & byproducts. This is the only treat my dog could have in his entire life and they’ve DISCONTINUED making it. What a shame! So disappointed. :(

I've ordered the cheaper versions and they don't bake the imitations long enough so they smell pretty foul and are hard to break into smaller bits. The Merrick version is crisp, easy to break up and very low odor so I don't get grossed out putting some in my pocket for a walk. Worth seeking this brand out and I will not buy the cheaper imitations any more.

These are the only treats my folks let me have, good thing I love them. We were recently in a fancy pet store and they were out of them!! Chewy came to the rescue and we are now resupplied! My mom likes them because they can be broken into small pieces and the bag lasts a long time that way.

This treat is easy for my dog to chew. It agrees with his tummy and when I offer him a choice of two treats this is the one he picks

My dog is on a novel protein diet of lamb. Finding a lamb ONLY treat wasn’t that easy. Was excited when I found this treat. All lamb. I wish they made the pieces smaller, not easy to break up for a small dog. They stink but must smell good to dogs.

The drooling that goes on when these come out are insane. We have learned not to take any little pieces to the dog park, as that is all they want and the playing stops. Expensive but a little piece broken off goes a long way.
