JDinPA's Full Review: Beneful Snackin' Slices Crunchy Dog Treats (11oz p...
Purina Beneful Snackin Slices called out to me from the scores of doggy treats on the shelf. There was this really happy dog sitting up and begging - he just wanted somebody to come along and give him one of these hip-hop looking treats. That doggy smile, those wet pleading eyes, that pink tongue hanging out waiting . . . how could I not buy this treat! Whoever designed this bag knew how to market and pull at your heartstrings!
The Snackin Slices come in three shapes with colors to match. The snacks almost look like play food or some strange jewelry.
There is 1) The Apple - This apple shape is red with a raised orangy core. It is roundish in shape at about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" in size and between 1/4" to 1/2" in thickness. The apple is hard and crunchy. The core is soft and chewy.
2) The Pea Pod - This treat is shaped like a pea pod. It is smaller in size at about 1 3/4" long by less than 3/4" wide. It is just over 1/4" thick. The green pod is crunchy and the three little peas are golden and chewy.
3) The Carrot - This one is irregularly shaped to resemble a wacky carrot with fluted edges and a flattened off "top." It's size is anywhere from just under 2" long, to 1/4" to less than 3/4" wide. It is about 1/4" thick. The brown-orange carrot is crunchy and there is a creamy colored strip that runs down the length which is softer and chewy.
This is pretty cute design marketing. Put them all together in a bag with a clear window where you can see the "healthy" snacks behind that happy dog, and well . . . you get the picture!
These snacks actually do contain fruits and vegetables, as well as cheese and meat products. These snacks are shaped and designed to sell to us humans - our dogs are not gonna look at them and go - "eegads! a pea! not for me!"
You dog will enjoy the different textures and tastes. I know mine does! You have crunchy and chewy, and that apple core really is peanut butter flavor!
