Product Review: Fruitables Vanilla Snowflake Flavor

We got to try Fruitables' new limited edition Vanilla Snowflake Flavor treats, and Chewy did not want to let them out of his sight! 

Mine.

He is even on standby as I write this because the treat bag is on my desk. There are only a couple of drool spots on the floor so far...

Wutcha got there, Santa puppy?

These are the first and only treats made with real snowflakes (patent pending). Fruitables combined fresh, high altitude snow from the Rockies with their pumpkin granola and yogurt recipe, producing this crunchy and "creamy" treat. Each treat is only 9 calories, and can easily be broken into even smaller pieces for those pups who are watching their weight.

These are Reindeer Chewy snacks, right?

I like how the doggy on the bottom left of the package is also wearing a Santa hat! Very festive.

These treats are in the regular crunchy Fruitables flower shape, and they smell like vanilla ice cream. Like other Fruitables products, these treats are sourced and made in the USA.

Who wore it better? - Santa suit edition

Each bag of treats contains an estimated 300 snowflakes. Honestly, I thought this concept was a little silly (wouldn't you get the same thing by adding water?), but Chewy loves the treats, so all is well.

Reindeer Chewy and Santa Chewy approved!

Chewy liked these treats so much, he figured Santa Paws would love them, as well! Chewy was very thoughtful and left out a plate for him. Too bad Santa doesn't come for another few days...he might find that all his cookies were eaten by a certain "reindeer!"

Waiting for Santa Paws...zzz...

We give Fruitables Vanilla Snowflake Flavor 4 paws up! They smell great to the people nose, are sourced and made in the USA, and Chewy loves the smell, taste and crunch. At just 9 calories apiece, they make a great holiday treat.

4 paws up for Fruitables Vanilla Snowflake Flavor!

Fruitables Skinny Minis Watermelon Flavor Review

A while back, we won a bag of Fruitables skinny minis Watermelon treats from Lindsay at ThatMutt.com. Thanks, Lindsay!

Happy Chewy with his Fruitables
These watermelon flavor treats are flower-shaped, mini-sized, soft, and chewy. They are free of gluten, wheat, corn, soy and artificial flavors/colors, and are made in the USA. At just 2 1/2 calories apiece, they are great for pups who need to watch their caloric intake.

Big paw, tiny treat

They come in a convenient zipper pouch, and you get a big whiff of watermelon + pumpkin smell when you open the bag. Pumpkin is the first ingredient in this and many other Fruitables products because of its health benefits and palatability. The high fiber and low fat content of pumpkin makes it a great ingredient for weight management, and the presence of soluble and insoluble fibers can help soothe both diarrhea and constipation. 

Om nom nom...

Despite the small size, Chewy still chews each individual piece before swallowing, without generating crumbs! They are rather fragrant, and would be great for playing Find the Treat. Their size and non-crumblyness are perfect for stuffing a treat-dispensing toy.

More, please?

These treats were motivating enough to get Chewy to climb into a box and lie down in it. He simply followed a trail of treats while I blocked the side (so he'd actually have to step into the box to reach the treats, because Chewy is a pro cheater).


However, they weren't motivating enough to get him out of the box. He was a bit hesitant about how to step out, and he wasn't going to try just for some itty bitty treats.

Comfy cozy. I'll stay here, thanks.
They were definitely drool-worthy, though.


Overall, we give Fruitables Skinny Minis Watermelon Flavor treats 3 1/2 paws up. Chewy thought they were yummy, and I liked that they were healthy, low-calorie, and not messy. However, they were not the most motivating treats, which can be a problem during training sessions with a stubborn pup.
