Review on 🐶 Monument Freeze Dried Dog Food - Raw Superfood Protein, All Natural, Limited Ingredients for Topper or Treats by Florencia Fernandez

Cost aside, this product is a great dog training treat. Small nuggets are hard and won't crumble or fall apart in your pocket or treat bag. This makes them ideal for walks, trips to the dog park or car rides as they can withstand impact and remain intact. They're so big that even our large breed dogs have to chew them before swallowing them, while typical small training treats (about the size of a pencil eraser) are so tiny that dogs just swallow them whole and look at us like we do . somehow tricked her. There are no unusual ingredients that concern us as pet owners or interact with their supplements or medications. The calorie content is also quite low, so it fits in well with your current diet plans. The issue we have with this food/topper/treat isn't the quality, it's the price. The bag isn't that small, but because it's sublimated, you won't get that much. Four ounces of food for $18.50 isn't the best deal. We have two large breed dogs and according to the directions on the pack if we were giving them this as a true two cup meal we would only use the entire pack for one meal per dog. Another reason this doesn't work as a meal, except for one pack per dog, is that the little nugget isn't rehydrating. If you put them in boiling water, they will eventually start to disintegrate. But this food is unlike other freeze-dried foods we've tried that can be easily rehydrated. It's as if the food was dehydrated, just enough liquid was added for the mixture to pass through the extruder, and then the resulting chunks were dried again. It feels like the food is covered in some sort of outer shell or shellac, making it fairly impermeable to water. Also as a topper it is very expensive. As a workout or other treat, this is a better deal as small packets of freeze-dried protein treats/rewards like these are typically $8-$10 for a 1-ounce bag at the pet store. While this product has great ingredients and isn't full of junk, the price is a sticking point. I wonder if it was more like regular food and had more volume when it seemed like a better deal when in theory it would just be the added weight of water. Or maybe it would be better if that food actually regenerated when water was added. Paying nearly $75 a pound for this meal (based on price per ounce) is ridiculously expensive. It's one thing paying $75 for a handmade organic superfood protein specialty when it's a 25-30 pound bag, especially when that bag will last our two large dogs for at least a month when they feed two cups each. food per day. If you calculate how much the equivalent of this food would cost, it would be $37 (two bags of this food) x two (we have two dogs) x 30 days (because a regular 20 lb bag will do) = $2220. . That's more than our mortgage payment! As an educational or special 'sorry you have to see the vet today' treatment, this product is cheaper than many similar treats. But if you're considering using this as their primary food source, the cost becomes unreasonable.
