What it does
Small, soft chicken training treats from Blue Buffalo, sold here in a 16 oz bag.
- Real chicken is the first ingredient, per Blue Buffalo
- No corn, wheat or soy, and no chicken or poultry by product meals, per Blue Buffalo
- No artificial flavors or preservatives, per the maker's labeling
- Contains fish oil as a source of DHA
- Resealable bag
A strong choice for training sessions, since the bits are small, soft and about 4 calories each, and owners report dogs work hard for them. The main trade-off is that the treats can dry out and harden once the bag has been open a while.
