"This is my dog’s favorite! He hates getting his nails trimmed. But he volunteers because he know these will be his reward. At 12, he still gets excited every time it’s nail day."
"My pug mix is very food-motivated, and generally loves any snack. The first one was in his mouth a second, then on the floor. I tried again, with the same result. This human found the odor of these Zoe treats chemical in nature, and unpleasant."
Bottom Line
Buyers noted that Zoe Tender Chunks a hit when it comes to training and pet motivation, but reliability of the product appears to suffer in the form of unpleasant odor and crumbling of the product into dust. Not ideal for cost sensitive buyers.
