Tuesday Treats

Free samples tend to end up in our treat bag such as this - Rachael Ray's Nutrish. (There's a link for a free sample too!) Now, you have to understand that we're not FEEDING Rusty this, nope, this is part of his treat bag. I personally don't see better nutritional value in this dog food than what we already feed him - Wellness Super5Mix, which he loves.

This is considered a low value reward (cut up cheese, hot dogs and tennis balls are Rusty's high value rewards), so he gets this for doing basics, like sitting, drop and walking. The command leave it will get a higher value reward - like a toss of a tennis ball!

Free samples of dog food make great low value treats, but try not to get 'Ol Yeller because that has no nutritional value at all. Each of the different pieces of Nutrish looks different and it must taste different too - but since I haven't tried her dog food yet (human grade treats I usually try, but shhhh... don't tell anyone!), I can't tell you what it tastes like!
