UPDATED! Loving Pets 100% Natural Dog Treats (5 Packs) for $12.99 + Shipping @ Amazon

Hi, EasyReader Your welcome =) My order arrive today via USPS 2nd Day Mail and I can't wait to get home to see how my little guy likes them.

Out of the 10 Packs that I bought there were 6 packs that expires on March 2013 while the other 4 packs where May 2013 and on the website I CP'ed the FAQ w/ the Q & A's below. I just gave my pup the Sweet Potato & Chicken flavored snack and he was sniffing it at first and the then licked it a couple of times before he started to chew it into little pieces and then scarfed it up in his little corner. When I tried to grab it back from his he started to get excited so I think he must have enjoyed it b/c he ate it up really quickly. The actual snack looks like the something that you would expect to purchase from a WholeFoods store and to be honest if it was not labeled as a doggie snack then you would actually think its for humans. Lolz.

Here's the C&P from the LP website FAQ:

Q: How long do your treats last?
Our treats have a best by date printed on the bags. They can remain good well beyond the best by date as long as air or moisture is not introduced to the products.

Q: How does your product stay good without preservatives?
Many of our treats contain Vitamin C which is a natural preservative. Our product is also sealed to lock in freshness and has an air packet to remove air from the package. By doing this, we prevent moisture and air inside the packaging which preserves the treats perfectly.

From their webpage:

Where are your gourmet treats made?
Most of our treats are made in South America and Asia. In particular, our Gourmet treats are made in China. Most people see China and say “Oh no, here we go” or “Not for my dog”. When products from China came under scrutiny, Loving Pets became proactive. We immediately began product testing with our “Tested in the USA” program. We didn’t decide to do this because we had to, but because we wanted to. Our dogs are like family to us and they enjoy Loving Pets’ treats. We want to feel safe giving our treats to our own dogs as well to yours. Unlike most companies, we share the test result with our customers. There are three tests performed on our products: First, at the factory where they are created. Second, by the USDA and third by an independent lab in the United States. The final lab results are posted on our site for all to see.

The price got a few dollars cheaper since I first made my purchase but too bad I live in a small closet sized apartment in NY where space is super limited and I have no extra room to get any additional packs. I did allot of Google research prior to purchasing these treats to make sure that it was safe b/c I'm super cautious and my pup has since been begging me every day for them b/c he knows where I hide them and always runs to the front of my cabinets and starts to bark at them. Lolz...its really wild and he does not stop barking until he gets his treat.

I'm in for 2 since the reviews are pretty good and plus they advertise like crazy on the radio. I've always wanted to see what the hype is all about with this product b/c its sounds like a healthy alternative to the mystery meat treats that other company's offer for sale. Thanks OP

These thing's sounds soooooo good that it might even be fit for human consumption.....LOLZ!!!! I'm in for some! TY OP!

in for 1

I just got my stuff in the mail and everything looks great and the its fresh until late 2013. I see that on Amazon they have the meats strips and does any body know how they would compare to these wraps?

These are like Scooby Snacks for my dog...Great Post!

My friend just asked me about these snacks and I as soon as I went to re-order I noticed that the price was $1 cheaper than what I previously purchased them for. Since the weather has been pretty hot recently I have to find a nice cool place to store them to ensure that they remain as fresh as possible. I hope they have a better online deal for the upcoming 4th of July holiday.

Unlike some FWers, I was not impatient. For some reason, FW auto double-posted, so I am editing to state that.

It's back instock but this other seller has the shipping for $6.49 instead of the original $6.48 and I'm not sure if they offer combined shipping b/c I only purchase one set this time. I've updated the thread to reflect this. Enjoy Guys! =)

Advertising like crazy on the radio is now a way to judge quality?

I don't want to seem over-reactive, but I am no longer buying any food for man or beast that comes from China. It takes only one bad batch to bring about a serious problem. Until China gets their food chain safety issues worked out, I won't buy.

say what???
