Red Barn Dog Food Roll

After all of the recalls from melamine contamination, Bark and Purr pulled the Natural Balance food rolls just to keep its clientele safe from any possible cross over. The owners researched alternatives for several months and finally chose the Red Barn food rolls. The ingredients list is good, and my dogs and the shelter dogs heartily approve of the taste. The large rolls are a little pricey at about $10 each, but I'm happier with the ingredients, so it's a fair trade. You can also order cases directly from Red Barn, but that can add up quickly!

Pros: Better ingredients than even Natural Balance food roll, dogs love the taste

Cons: Only available online or at speciality pet supply stores, can get expensive

I bought this brand first when making training treats for the dogs at the shelter, and this brand has seemed to dry out more quickly than the other brands I have picked up. However, the overall smell of the food was better, so perhaps dogs don't mind the dryness. I just prefer treats that stay together a bit better when traning.

Pros: Good quality

Cons: Not as easy to cut, keep
