Ingredients
Why did you agree to review this product?
We were given a sample of the
training treats to review as we have three dogs, two of whom are known to
struggle with focus.
Tell us a bit about your experience
with this product?
As we do agility and flyball, we
are following a strict training regime where the dogs' food is given to them as
part of a training exercise or game. No food given in a bowl.
We used the ByBenji training
treats as a high value reward in recall and distraction training with excellent
results. The treats were given when the dogs saw a distraction such as a cat.
For this to be effective it has to be really high value. The Biltong really
fitted the bill.
Who knows... Maybe it even
helped Adrian to get two 1st places with Galilea and a 2nd and a 6th with Kibulu
at the BATS Agility Show.
What did you like about this product?
The dogs loved it and we loved
how it smelled.
As we raw feed for the dogs'
main meals, we are careful about what treats we use - this fits the bill
perfectly.
We were especially pleased
that it doesn't contain sugar.
It was also really easy to
break into smaller bits for training.
What do you think could be improved?
The text could be bigger on
the back of the package.
Packaging:
We really liked the packaging, a great
quality product all round.
Instructions:
Instructions were easy to follow - as long you can see them. I read them,
but my husband didn’t. He found the text too small.
Price: £5.99
for 80g bag
Value for money:
To be honest, at £72 a kilo, it is a bit
pricey. While we loved it, we’d probably use our own dehydrated treats as they
have similar results and are obviously a lot cheaper. We do, however,
acknowledge that the two are not the same. ByBenji Biltong Training Treats are
made of pure, air-cure silverside of beef. Comparable dehydrated treats can be
found for sale, costing in excess of £100 a kilo for chicken or liver.
Overall rating:
10/10 because we loved it and
the dogs loved it, too.
Would you recommend this product to your
friends and family?
Yes, it could very well have been the
deciding factor in getting our dogs their first points towards KC Grade 2.
