A few years ago, I used a competitor’s meat roll. However, changes to formula caused the texture to change and the treats became crumbly when cutting them up. I would go to reach in my pocket or treat bag and come out with a handful of crumbs instead of a treat. No trainer wants to deal with that! Plus my sheltie Reba started to turn her nose up at the treats. A friend told me about Happy Howie’s and I have been using their meat rolls and recommending them ever since.
About
Happy Howie’s Premium Meat Rolls are made and sourced in the USA. They are becoming popular with trainers across the country. Unlike many other meat rolls that are intended to be used for meals, Happy Howie’s meat rolls are specifically formulated for use as treats. These 1 lb or 2 lbs rolls are currently available in 3 flavors: Beef, Turkey and Lamb.
My Review
Let me just start by saying I love these treat rolls. You have complete control as to how big or small the treats are making it perfect for dogs of all sizes. I tend to cut up some smaller pieces for training and a couple bigger strips to bring ringside that I can tear pieces off of while warming up. The best part, no crumbling! These amazing rolls do not crumble when you cut them or put treats in your pocket! They are also perfect for treat dispensers like the Treat & Train.
Since you are cutting your own treats, one thing you need to keep in mind here is how many calories your treats end up being. This can be especially important for dogs on a diet or less active dogs. The good news is I did some of the leg work for you! Here is the calorie break down from the manufacturer:
Beef = 70 calories per ¼” slice
Turkey = 44 calories per ¼” slice
Lamb = 60 calories per ¼” slice
My crew has enjoyed all the flavors but beef seems to be the most popular here. Even picky dogs I have worked with love these treats. Once the rolls have been cut, they do need to be refrigerated. They will remain fresh for up to two weeks. You can also freeze them for extended use.
Conclusion
I love these treat rolls and so do my dogs. I have used them with success both personally and with students. Being able to control the size of the treats and not have them be crumbly is well worth the little bit of effort it takes me to cut and refrigerate them. I highly recommend them. My dogs and I each give these treats 4 out of 4 paws!
