Product Review: Sweet Little Butterpup Dog Treats

  When the good folks at Lincoln Bark offered us some dog treats to taste test and review, we were happy to oblige.  

We were allowed to choose our samples from their three lines of all natural, healthy treats:

1. Sweet Little Butterpups - their original peanut butter based hard treats powered by the superfood, Chia seeds.
2. Treat Smart - a soft nutraceutical treat that is great for the skin and coat, and also powered by Chia seeds.
3. Doggie and kitty Sprinkles - a protein supplement and flavor enhancer that is springkled on food to entice finicky eaters to enjoy every bit.

We chose Sweet Little Butterpup dog treats in Lincoln Bark's oatmeal peanut butter recipe.  8 ounce packages are $9.99 on the Lincoln Bark web site.  Super fast shipping brought not only our sample package in just a couple of days, but also little 2-treat sample packs of Sweet Little Butterpup's in chicken liver flavor, salmon flavor, and pumpkin flavor. 

Jeffie's cautious first taste.

You might as well know up front that these dog treats are now among Jeffie and Rudy's favorite snacks!  In fact, the boys were so enthusiastic about this taste testing session that it was hard to snap some photos that were not blurry.  Neither could hold a "sit" for long after they'd had their first taste.

Rudy could not help wiggling with anticipation after the first bite.

I understand why.  These dog treats smell delicious!  Seriously. Delicious.

Jeffie is longing for his next turn in this yummy testing.

Made in the USA, these dog treats contain gluten free rice flour and potato flour, soy free peanut butter, rolled oats, honey, canola oil, Chia seed and water.  They do NOT contain preservatives, additives, artificial colors or flavors.

We'd heard of Chia Seed and this motivated us to learn more.  Often called a superfood, Chia Seed promotes health with more antioxidants that blueberries and eight times more Omega-3 Fatty Acids than wild salmon.  

Chia Seed benefits:

• Promotes cardiovascular health
• Assists joint function and mobility
• Improves digestion and natural detoxification
• Supports healthy weight loss
• Antioxidants in Chia seeds and oil help prevent cancer
• Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) reduces fatal cardiac episodes

Sophie - the dog that inspired Lincoln Bark

Lincoln Bark evolved after the owners dog was diagnosed with Addison's disease when she was two years old.  Needing to boost her food intake, they began researching canine nutrition and baking their own dog treats.  Today, Sweet Little Butterpup dog treats still are baked by hand in small batches with 100% natural, human grade ingredients.

We highly recommend Lincoln Bark's Sweet Little Butterpup dog treats.
