Chicken Freeze Dried Dog Treats

Right in the front. Perfect.

These are amazing training treats! The chicken pieces areeasy to pull apart into smaller pieces which makes these awesome for incorporating into training. For my dogs it’s a mid-level treat that I use for after they learn a behavior and rather, we are working on consistency. There isn’t a particularly strong smell to them, which is great for me to use in training areas that are crowded and where I don’t want to smell like I am the stinky person. I now have these on subscription for my pups. The only CON I can think of with these treats is that because they come apart so easily, there is quite a bit at the bottom of the bag that is just hard to use for a "training treat". Instead, I end up putting the bottom bag leftovers into a treat bowl that I mix with other items to freeze on a hot day.

My fur babies love these. These are a good treat and food topper. They are fresh and great value for my money.

My little dog loves his PureBites chicken! He usually refuses his kibble if it doesn't have some PureBites on top! Great stuff!

Our cats go nuts for these. I love that they are low calorie so you can use them for training without adding a lot to your cat’s intake. They last a long time. I am disappointed that they arrive with a fair amount of crumbles in the bag but the cats eat that just the same. No issues with tummies. I’ve bought several times and will again.

I signed on to write an updated negative review on these treats. I see I'm not only one with the same issues (1.0 out of 5 stars Unacceptable quality ByBandanaon January 28, 2016). These were the most loved treats by my 2 dogs - now my pals may try them but they don't eat them anymore and I have had to throw them out at the end of the day - not cheap either. They used to be so white and now they are so are so dark/burnt.. When I reviewed the product packaging on Amazon, I suggested the manufacturer change packaging that would prevent crushing the product to powder. Other freeze dried products have containers that work. Also, Amazon had stopped selling them for awhile because of complaints! I have 2 scenario's that the manufacturer has possibly done. 1. They are now burning the product to prevent them from crushing to powder, rather than a new packaging concept 2. Instead of using chicken breast white meat, they are using the dark meat of the chicken and cooking longer. I recently purchased this product from another website hoping theirs would be different - they weren't. They are terrible also - just as dark. I bought several packages, with hope, but I will need to return them and not replace them. I just found this on Purebites website, maybe I will contact them for replacement/refund. The shipper shouldn't be responsible this time! I hope Purebites returns to the quality of the product they once made. I really would love to buy them again for my 2 babies.

If I could give a review on just the taste of the pieces that were whole enough to eat....my kitties and I would give it a 5-5, 5-5, 7-7 toes up!! That's with using 4 as a perfect score. One of my cats has 7 toes on each front paw. :) These are perfect for them and maybe more than I should spend on a fixed income but, compared to others, they're a great deal cheaper. ONLY PROBLEM... when more than half the pkg is completely chicken dust...it's really disappointing. I've been getting the smaller pkgs for a while to be sure they would like before investing in the bigger package. My kitties go koko puffs over them. Every night they wait for their "hide and seek treat" and I didn't dare forget to play with them or three, very large and heavy may I add, kitties would jump up on my bed and keep pull my covers down with every toe they posseSs until I'd give in and get up to hide their last snack before sleepies time. This became a really fun ritual. A little bit of fun hunting before settling down for the night. I love and trust these so much because I know this is the same food source that survivalists fill their shelters with. And you dont mess with the food of a survivalist. They are really serious about their chicken. They get a much larger quantity, of course, but the quality, or it used to be, is the same. This is real, wholesome chicken. Just like the kind grandma made for Sunday dinner. They even get the potatoes to go with it. just add water, seasonings and it's like grandma came to visit. I wanted to buy exactly what they used. Perhaps the pkg was just a little larger than I needed, and it wasnt a cheap snack, but a few of them showed me this and said it's the same stuff, just a much smaller package. I'm pretty sure even grandma wouldn't be smiling her sweet little smile if she got what I got before the bad was even half empty. But that's another story. By time I was halfway through the bag I noticed there were very few bite size pieces left. So I gave them the scrunched up chicken. That quickly turned to chicken dust as even those size pieces were an anomaly. My little hunters, they licked it up like, hey this is new. But kept waiting for their snack, like it was an appetizer ,whenit was turning out to be a sad joke. On me. Needless to say I had some very very unhappy kitties. And no sleep that night or the next few nights. They just didn't understand. They'd look at the bag, then wait expectantly for the game to start. For them it was like, o.k. you have the bag..I see it...u aren't fooling any of us, so where are the goods?? I felt like I was facing an angry mob at a family prison picnic ( if they were to have such things), and the hungry inmates (who are part of the real M.O.B. if you know what I mean...I'm Italian and they take their adopted family history very SERIOUSLY) and they want to know why you are holding out on them. The chicken dust just wasn't cutting it. I'm really glad I don't own a horse. Seriously though, I felt really bad. Not just because of all the money I wasted but because they got used to this fun little nightly ritual. So did I to tell the truth. It was kinda like playing Easter egg hunts with my kids again. Only I didn't have to keep reminding them because their treat was eat e n on the first round. So now Im stuck with a dilemma. I either have to find another company that has a similarly priced product, which is not that easy unless I believe all the new good info from my survivalist buddies about the U.S. changing their inspection protocols for any meats coming from China (or any country for that matter). That and all their combined knowledge, research and statistics showing me that there have been more issues with American made meat products and quiet internal recalls (that we rarely hear about because it never becomes front page news) in the past 4-6 years than there have been in all the other countries combined. Now I'll admit that some, (ok many) of these doomsday preppers and survivalist that you see on tv are pretty out there, with paranoid schizoid personality disorders, but these guys and gals are about as smart and down to earth as you can get. So trust me, as I trust them, they don't mess about their meat. So my alternatives are: Find a different product...one that is hopefully comparable in price and value. And taste of course. Find a different SELLER for the same product. As it seems its Amazon's packing practices that are creating chicken dust, Start buying in bulk the product my buddies buy. It's not cheap when you consider you need to buy it all in one shot, especially if you are on a fixed income... but it's definitely cheaper in cost per ounces etc, AND it's definitely real, human food you can eat/share if you ever have to "bug out" with your buddies ' Start making my own. Which I trust even less than a third world country to do properly, as I don't have anything to deep freeze meat with or honestly, even where to start. Or last, which my baby hunters will hate. Either get them used to chicken dust or find a totally different treat. There are some on the list that are obviously a nobrainer, for me anyway: I can't freeze dry meat. Not by myself or without really good helpers. The kind that do it and then include my name in the credits. Find a different product;. I've been looking. I've found one that could fit the bill that might actually be cheaper. Says it's made in U.S.A. but produce comes from China. This all comes down to trusting my nerdy statistical, researching doomsday buddies. I am inclined to believe their evidence. Convince my babies, chicken dust tastes good: NOT!! My only definite NO in the bunch Quit feeding/giving my furry babies this wonderful treat. If it only were as easy as that sounds.... Last, but not least, I think: Find a different seller for the same 100% Freeze Dried Chicken Breat meat. This sure would be easier if Amazon refunded either my money or better yet, sent me what I ordered gain BUT this time package it more carefully. There is a company out there, one I'm considering more than others is Whole life, those not in silver package which is being phased out. They now freeze dry ;) then vacuum-seal the package and last, put it in its own individual box. It's goes for 29.75, Amazon Prime for 10 oz. PureBites is 23.39 for 11.6 oz. . So for this option it's $6 more for 1.6 oz. Or maybe I should say it's 6.00 more for chicken bites that are actually chicken bites .themes two were found on EBay: One of the survivalist products is: Mountain House, 100 %freeze dried chicken cubes(made for human consumption) 44.95 for 17 oz. It comes in a big tub that can stay fresh for 25 years. Full of individual packets so u can just take out what you need. Another from eBay, Grandma Lucy's artisan cubed chicken is a meal mix with first ingredient chicken breast, organic, hormone band antibiotic free meat these are just like meals you could make yourself. Dogs formula has some potatoes carrots blueberries etc 68.39 for 10 pound bag. So I guess there are still options. I just thou :-) :) when I finally found this product, it was perfect and the cats loved it. So I'm starting all over again. Maybe if there are enough complaints about meat being dust they will do like whole life did. Vacuum seal their bags and put in a special box. Check, I would have been happy if they just hadn't put it in the same box as cat food, jars of stuff etc. It might have arrived looking like it should :/ Well happy hunting kjnolan

My dogs love these treats

I have been purchasing this product for my cats since it came on the market (at least a decade ago). Some of the negative comments are not deserved. This is my 5 cents: - never buy the small bag or the cat variety (also small bag) b/c it contains junk quality/crumbs from the end of the packing/production line. Buy the big bags. I usually get 175 gr, sometimes 330. Consider how often you will use it b/c the more you open the bag the more you oxidize the content and spoil the product. It is raw after all. The bigger bags contain beautiful big pieces of chicken breast you just crumble them for a cat. - it does happen the product may arrives spoiled (wettish appearance and weird smell) as sharp pieces can perforate the bag in transport and thus oxidize for an undisclosed time. - yes, as you crumble the pieces you may find a small bone - well, it is a meat product, right? made in mass production, right? Can't possibly remove all the small bones. - it is ridiculously annoying Amazon does not offer self-managed return on pet food and one has to contact customer service and argue for a return/exchange. - I give 5 stars for quality, 4 start for often too high price, 1 star for amazon return policy on pet food.

Very poor quality. There was more scraps than actual pieces of chicken.

This is great for a food topper for dogs.

Aussi bien pour un chat qu'un chien, c'est du poulet à 100%. La seule différence est la taille des bouchées qui sont plus grosses pour chien. Mon chat préfère les morceaux plus gros et c'est très friable donc il n'a aucune difficulté à les manger. L'avantage c'est que ça s'emiette moins quand les morceaux sont plus gros, car il peut y avoir beaucoup de miettes dans le fond du sac. Un peu cher mais se conserve longtemps et aucun produit chimique.

I’ve been buying Purebites freeze-dried treats in all flavours for more than a year; but the past few months the quality has been severely declining. I buy bags from both my local pet stores in Canada and from Amazon, and the product just keeps getting worse. The last bag of Chicken Purebites I bought on Amazon was SO rancid upon arrival that you could actually smell it from outside the bag when it arrived! 🤢 The pieces even look “off.” They’re more yellow, than light beige like they should be; and many pieces have a wet/greasy feel to them. It’s like more of the chicken *fat* has not properly been removed, and has maybe “melted,” causing the rancid smell and weird texture? (They *should* be very lightweight, easy to crumble, and have a neutral odour). I (regrettably) gave a few pieces to my 2 cats thinking maybe it wasn’t that bad; and they both ended up vomiting immediately. 😢 I’ve reached out to the company and am awaiting a reply. The product was SO great before!! But I wouldn’t risk buying Purebites from anywhere now unless the store offers a return policy. Smell the bag when you first open it, and it should smell neutral and mild; if not, and it smells like cooking-oil that is old and gone bad, don’t feed it to your pets, and report it to Purebites.com. I believe this product (all flavours) should immediately be recalled!
