Zoe Grilled Cheese & Bacon Tender Chunks Review

TGIF! I had the day off work today, and Meadow was at daycare, so I got a little shopping done for Meadow's first birthday this Sunday. Watch for pictures of her birthday party!

In the meantime, Meadow sampled a new treat we discovered at our local PetCo. These are the Zoe Grilled Cheese & Bacon Tender Chunks, 5.3 oz. (approx. $5.79). I can't seem to find them on PetCo.com, but they are available on Amazon, and may be available in-store at your local PetCo.

The Zoe Tender Chunks treat line is 100% natural, and made and sourced in Canada. They contain no corn, wheat or soy. There's a couple different varieties, including Bistro Beef & Gravy, Chicken Parmesan, Turkey & Beets, and Grilled Cheese & Bacon. We chose Grilled Cheese and Bacon to try, because GRILLED CHEESE AND BACON. That sounds delicious! According to the package, the ingredients in the Zoe Grilled Cheese and Bacon Tender Chunks include barley flour, pork, brewers yeas, molasses, whey powder, vegetable glycerin, cheddar cheese, bacon flavor, vegetable lecithin, and citric acid. Each treat is 18 calories. The package suggests feeding 1 to 2 per day.

The Zoe Grilled Cheese and Bacon Tender Chunk treats are soft and kind of crumbly. They smell meaty, but not really like grilled cheese and/or bacon. They do smell really salty. When Meadow sampled one, she initially dropped the treat out of her mouth, followed by a dollop of drool. For a second, I thought she spit it out because she didn't like it, but then she happily gobbled it up. I suspect these treats might be "rich." They're a little big for training treats, and at 18 calories each, your doggie should probably indulge in these treats somewhat sparingly. Meadow's dad took her to the vet the other day, and he brought a handful of these treats with him to help keep Meadow focused and relatively quiet while they sat in the lobby waiting for her appointment, rather than going bonkers about meeting all the other dogs and their humans waiting, and going in and out. She did great! Despite all the distractions in the lobby, she happily balanced these treats on her nose and showed off.
