This
month, Chewy.com was kind enough to send us the Merrick Hungry DogValue Pack Dog Chew Treats to review. Now, we've reviewed a lot of
things for the blog, and we've liked them all well enough, but here's
something I really, truly will buy again.
When
the box containing these chewies arrived at my office, my first
thought was: whoa. Did they run out of normal-sized boxes? Because
that box was big. But no. The bag of treats was big, too. In fact, it
was 2 pounds, which is a huge amount of treats for less than ten
bucks.
Something
that cheap, you expect to get junk. It's not, though. I can't claim
to know everything that Chewy.com sells, but everything I've seen on
their site is good quality. (I wouldn't feed it to my dogs if it
wasn't, free or not.) These chewies, for example, are all U.S.-made.
None of that scary crap from China!
The
Hungry Dog Value Pack is more like a surprise grab bag than a
standardized product. When Merrick has an item that's misshappen or
too big or too small to sell as part of their standard line, they
instead package up all those things as the Value Pack. Consequently,
you get some a random mix of odd-sized/shaped items. The pack we received
(only half of which is pictured since the rest was eaten before I
thought to get the camera out!) included ears, snouts, tails, hooves,
and knuckle bones. The reviews on Chewy.com suggests that others have
gotten horns or antlers.
My
dogs loved these. Like, gobbled them up and begged for more. So I was
surprised when I saw several reviews stating that the Value Pack is
only suitable for big dogs, or that the items are too big for smaller
guys. I mean, I have small dogs. Maisy is 16 pounds and Pyg is 12 or
13. Neither of them had trouble with anything in the bag.
So, two thumbs and
eight paws up from our household!
Disclosure notice
or whatever: Chewy.com sent me these for free, but didn't tell me
what to say. I just really liked these!
