Tasty Tuesday - Product Review - Stones Doggy Snack Bar

…For dogs on the GO!

Have you ever taken your dog out for a busy, energetic day? Has he ever looked weary, with a lack of energy from all that activity? Then we had the perfect solution, tried and tested, here today! 

OK - so can you remember me mentioning that I bought Earl a doggy snack/energy bar pn Sunday, at our competition? If not, read the post again here if you want to, or just skip ahead and read all about the bars anyway…

Product: Dog Snack/Energy Bar
Brand: Stones

Tester: Earl, Border Terrier
Observer: Earl Lover

The snack bar helps keep your dogs energy levels up, especially helpful if you are at an agility/flyball competition or anything else that requires a great deal of energy for your dog.

It is one whole, soft bar, which you can get in different flavours. We tried to Beef and Country Vegetables flavour, and instantly Earl seemed addicted!!! Hehe. He was bright and bubbly and was really up for his next jumping run, sprightly and full of meaty goodness.

Everyone knows how good meals give you the required energy for tasks in day-to-day life? Well on busy days on the go, all your dog needs is a good meal on the go!

They can be for a quick fill up of the tum or can replace a whole meal if you're out. These are the guidelines for meal replacements:

Dog up to 10kg - 4 bars replaces a meal
10kg to 20kg - 7 bars
20kg to 30kg - 10 bars

Individual needs of course take over, as these are the average, general guidelines. Think about your own dog's exercise, breed, weight etc before going directly by guidelines for this.

You can break pieces off too, as its soft and flexible to your dog's needs FEEDS!

When did we first try out this product?

When we were at an agility competition on a hot day. We thought that for his last run, Earl would appreciate a good chunky bar of pure FUEL to boost his performance - and treat him at the end. He was so motivated with all his energy and snack bar goodness, he thoroughly enjoyed it and won his Jumping class!!!

Main Functions and Description
These are to give your dog a healthy amount of energy or replace a meal (see guidelines above to help give you an idea), ideal for dogs travelling or on the go somewhere for the day, or even less than that they come in handy! 

Where did we buy this from?

A stall at Dog Vegas Agility Competition this month.

Target Audience

This would mainly be aimed at dogs on the go, who need some more energy to keep them going or to replace meals when meals are not available when out and about somewhere for some period. Puppies may best not be suited to too much of this however - most puppies are fairly small no matter what the adult breed size may be so this may confuse. 

Pros:

~ Worked well and motivated/gave energy to my dog
~ Easy to give (breakable) and eat (soft) 
~ Appealing to canines

Cons:

~ Includes some sugars, however for a bar in which boosts energy this isn't really too much of a con as long as they aren't given every single day for every meal!!

I like this grub for sure...

And I've got so much more useful energy now!!! Earl is ready!!!

Yes, Earl sure did have after that great little, handy bar!

So what am I going to give this food product when talking about a paw-star rating??\

A full 5-paw rating!! Woohoo! How could I not rate it full when it helped (well I assume it did!) Earl enjoy and win an agility competition? It was a super duper round, fuelled by the Stones Doggy Snack Bar!!!

I just love them, as an owner. And Earl even more so as a dog!!
