Review: Canidae TidNips from Chewy.com

Today we have some super tasty treats to tell you all about. Our best buds at Chewy.com sent us (and by us I mean Petal) some yummy lamb treats made by Canidae. Back when Petal was a puppy she ate Canidae kibble with Lassie and Ella before we switched to Sojos and then homemade and now, temporarily, The Honest Kitchen. So we’re pretty familiar with the Canidae brand.

We received Canidae’s TidNips treats to review. TidNips are soft, chewy, meaty squares. They can easily be torn into smaller pieces (for training and/or small dogs) but don’t crumble.

They come in the following three flavors…

Canidae TidNips treats come in the following 3 flavors: Lamb-Licious, Meaty-Licious and Chicken-Licious

As I said above we received the Lamb-Licious treats to try. I wasn’t totally sure of what Petal’s reaction would be to these treats as she hasn’t had much lamb in the past. I was sure she would eat them, rarely does she stick her nose up to a treat, but I wasn’t sure how interested she would be in them.

She LOVED them. Loved them. I used them as her high value treats for “sticky situations” (seeing other dogs while out walking) every morning for the past week and a half before I ran out (and promptly bought more). Rarely could she resist these treats. 95% of the time she stops barking and tugging towards the other dog in favor of this treat. She has been walking much more politely around other dogs lately. Now this isn’t all due to the treat (though having a high value treat for high stress/distracting areas IS important) of course, I’ve been working with her on this issue for awhile now, but these treats have been a great help so far.

Drooling in anticipation.

These treats are stinky enough to get Petal’s attention, but not so stinky that I cringe. They have almost a jerky-like scent. They’re corn, wheat and soy free. They’re made in the USA. Canidae also has a line of crunchy treats some of which are grain-free for those of you that are feeding a completely grain-free diet.

So far I have found that Chewy.com has the best prices for these treats ($5.79 on Chewy vs. $7.99 at Petco) especially if you’re already purchasing your dog or cat food from Chewy and spending enough to earn free shipping.

All in all we were very happy with these treats and have no complaints about them. Highly recommended!

Black & White Mountains

Looking at the picture of Petal on the bench makes me so proud. That is her most impressive stay yet! There were plenty of distractions, all at a distance, but she remained in her stay until I gave the come command. She came right to me, no hesitation whatsoever. Such a good girl!

To Caren of Dakota’s den – nope, not Colorado. I live in Utah. :)

Today we are participating in the Black and White blog hop hosted by Dachshund Nola and Sugar the Golden Retriever. You can find them both in the linky list below. Thanks hosts!

Our Morning Walk

Petal and I are up in the mountains for the time being and we are loving the views and the scenery. Every morning walk is breathtaking and beautiful. We walk for two hours, taking it all in and enjoying it.

Here are some iPhone photos from Friday morning’s walk.
