You need the cheapest bulk treat. An 8 oz bag disappears quickly at puppy training frequency.

The verdict

Soft matters more for a puppy than for any other stage, because sore teething gums make a hard treat something to refuse rather than earn. These are grain-free lamb and salmon morsels, and Wellness names salmon as a DHA source with a stated brain-development rationale — a claim with more behind it than most treat marketing. The listing gives six calories per treat, so break them in half for a small puppy and count them against meals. Owners specifically mention them working for house training, which is exactly the use case: instant delivery the second the puppy finishes outside. The same softness makes them useful again at the other end of life, when an old dog's teeth make crunchy treats a chore. Small bag, so buy two if you are training daily.

Drawbacks

  • Eight-ounce bag empties fast at puppy training frequency
  • Some owners find the smell strong

Researched from the manufacturer’s listing, its published specifications and what owners report. We do not test products on dogs.
