Giveaway: Zuke's Skinny Bakes (ends 1/13/14) @ZukesPets

WHICH ONE DO I TRY FIRST?!?!





















I was recently contacted by Zuke's to share my Ruckus Report on their new Skinny Bakes & Mini Naturals. Read on to find out how to enter the giveaway for the Skinny Bakes!

I recall my first experience with Zuke's products from the Woof Way Play October Box so I was pretty excited to dive into these snackies.





















1) Zuke's Skinny Bakes
Current Price: $7.00



Love the creative design of these biscuits








































PROS:
  • Creative Designs
    • Package: Already in love with the Skinny Bakes given that they have the Golden Gate Bridge printed on their bags! Beautiful picture of the Marin Headlands in San Francisco, CA
    • Biscuits: The pill shape and the imprint of Zuke's on these biscuits are so pleasing to the eye!
  • Guilt-Free Feeding
    • At under 10 calories, this prevents me from gaining weight during treat time
  • Aromatic
    • Pleasant to all nostrils, so much that my sapiens had to resist taking a nip themselves!
CONS:
  • Crunchy but crumbly
    • As expected with any crunchy treat/biscuits, they will crumble so eat over a surfaced area and avoid the carpet!
  • Difficult to break
    • Although there is that half-way mark, it is more difficult than expected to crack these biscuits in half for the 5 calorie treat instead of the 10. 
Current Price: $3.76





PROS:
  • Strong scent
    • This can be considered a pro or con
    • The PRO is that this becomes a strong-reward treat for pups since most of us are scent-driven
  • Low-calorie
    • Less than 3.5 Calories per Treat
    • Approximately THREE of these Mini Naturals match up to ONE Skinny Bake
  • Great for Training
    • Well-behaved Zuke indeed! 
    • Just one whiff of these minis and I'm throwing out my tricks left and right
CONS
  • Strong scent
    • This can be considered a pro or con
    • The CON is that my sapiens' are not particularly pleased with the smell of Rabbit! Good for me, bad for them
  • Size
    • I'm a gulper so these mini-sized treats don't particularly do well with me if given in a handful. However, it would work well in this IQ Treatball. I recently chewed that toy to pieces, regretfully :(

  10. We're working on the stay and "place" commands and Huffle's a little bored (unmotivated) by the treats we've been using! These would be a great new trainer treat set.

  12. We're huge fans of Zuke's treats here! We use the minis for training, and go through a lot! Power bars are for long agility days. Shiloh gets a hip action treat every night. Jerky bars and z-fillets are high-value and jackpot treats for training. Yup, we love Zuke's!

  13. I would use Zuke's as a treat for when I leave my babies to go to work. They don't care so much when they get a good treat. ;)

    I'd use the Zukes as treats for nail trimming time. Both mine need something special to keep them behaved during their pet-icure.

  17. Hi. I have eight dogs, three of which are rescues. I like to give out lots of treats, so love tiny ones and low calorie ones so I can give them out lots and not worry. I would use them for training but I'd also give them out "just because"...., my dogs get a little something every time they come inside from potty, they get a little something before bed, when we wake up.....so I would use these all the time. The don't care how small the treat is as long as they get it so these would be perfect. I've used zukes mini for years, haven't tried skinny bakes yet but my dogs love crunchy bones so I know they would love them. Thanks for the chance to win these yummy treats for my babies! They would be sooooo happy!
