Give Your Dog the Gift of Zuke’s This Holiday!

By Melinda Larke - Cherry Valley Macaroni Kid Publisher and Editor November 30, 2017

I have always bought gifts for my dogs during the holidays. Now the kids insist that we buy gifts for all the dogs in our family; our dogs and both my brother’s dogs. This year the whole pack will be getting their gifts from Zuke’s.
Many moons ago, I was a dog trainer looking for some great enticing treats to use during classes. I needed something small, something soft, something tasty, and something that was somewhat healthy since they were going to be getting almost a full meal of treats during their class. I found Zuke’s Mini Naturals Peanut Butter and never went back! Zuke’s has been producing great dog treats for more than 20 years using simple and wholesome ingredients free from fillers, by-products, artificial colors and flavors. Best of all, I have never met a dog that didn’t love them and want to do anything to get their mouth on one.



​I have to admit that I never ventured beyond the Peanut Butter treats since, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it right? Then, Zuke’s sent me this marvelous box full of treats to try out with my dogs. It came with a Superfood Blend, Lil’ Links, Hip Action Chicken Recipe, Calming Support, Mini Naturals Rabbit Recipe, Mini Natural Trees Turkey and Cranberry Recipe (they are so cute!), Crunchy Naturals, and Two Z-Bone Dental Chews. The dental chews were out first and gone very quickly. The dogs enjoyed them so much they hid while eating them! My dogs have LOVED every single Zuke’s treat I have given them. Even the stubborn one, June, was doing anything we asked her to just to get those treats; she will rarely sit when we ask her to.



Many small dogs tend to be anxious in one way or another, and mine are no different. June can never settle down and Peter is highly reactive to all noises. I saw the Calming Support treats and just had to give it a try. Within two weeks I could see a difference. I would come into the living room and see June, who never settles down, laying in her bed! I also noticed I wasn’t telling (ok yelling at) Peter to be quiet as much. SOLD!
