Blue Basics Biscuits Limited Ingredient Dog Treats - chewy.com Product Review

We tried Blue Basics Biscuits in Salmon & Potato Recipe, courtesy of chewy.com. They are crunchy biscuits made with limited ingredients, perfect for pups with food sensitivities.

Each biscuit is imprinted with the Blue buffalo logo, and despite the giant picture on the package (labeled with a disclaimer: "Not actual size. Enlarged to show texture."), the treats are actually quite small.

With salmon as the first ingredient, these treats definitely smell fishy. I'm sure Chewy likes them even more for that smell. He loves these treats so much, it took 3 different photo sessions to catch him and a treat in a clear shot. He kept eating them at lightning speed, blatantly ignoring my "wait" commands!

Intense cookie stare

I'm sure Chewy would say "YUM!" if he could!

Pet Botanics Simply Salmon Strips & Cutlets - Product Review + Giveaway

Pet Botanics recently launched a "Black Label" line of dog treats, consisting of Simply Salmon Strips and Simply Salmon Cutlets. "Black Label" makes them sound extra fancy! But they are simply salmon jerky treats.

Pet Botanics Simply Salmon Strips and Cutlets

Pet Botanics Simply Salmon treats are:

• made from fresh-caught Atlantic salmon from Norway
• dried, smoked and packaged in the US
• made with just 2 ingredients: 99% salmon + 1% sea salt (for smoking)
• free from antibiotics, hormones, and artificial colors/flavors
• hardwood smoked for flavor and aroma
• rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids

When you open a bag of Simply Salmon treats, you inevitably catch a whiff of strong fish smell. After all, they are 99% fish! The packaging does a great job of containing the smell (at least to human nose standards), which I greatly appreciate. Chewy's keen nose can still smell them through the bag, of course, and his nose knows that he wants them!

They come in two sizes: "Strips" and smaller, perhaps slightly thicker "Cutlets."

Strips vs. Cutlets

Chewy, of the "bigger is always better" philosophy, prefers the strips. Look at him eyeing those big ones:

Can I eat them yet?

He happily cruncha-munchas through them...

Yay, treat time!

and cutlets, too - cuz they're still fishy food! The cutlets are more of a one-bite treat for a large dog like Chewy.

But wait, there's more!

He always makes sure to get every last bit. That's a sure sign of a yummy treat!

Cleaning up the crumbs

I like the simplicity of the Simply Salmon treats, and the fact that they provide healthy omega-3s without artificial additives. Chewy likes the fishy aroma, the crunchiness, and the taste.
