Healthy too
They a tubed treat but liquid consistency so you have to squirt them into a dish. They have a couple different flavors and my cat loves them. I wasn't able to find them at either Petco or Petsmarts site so you probably can only find them at smaller specialty pet stores and they have a few different flavors. They are on Amazon at:
https://www.amazon.com/Ciao-Creamy-B...uru+cat+treats
They were cheaper at the pet store I got them at than what amazon wants. If you have cats get them, they'll love them.

No to nylabone
Justice is a big girl (95#) and strong jawed. We have had good luck with toys made of firehose material and Tuffy brand toys. She has 3 Tuffy toys, the firehose pull toy, and a Kong ball (it has a handle so she can 'carry' and 'toss' it herself) since she was a baby and she's turning 3 now. All still intact. The ball has gotten daily use, the Tuffy toys nearly daily use. Ironically? She does not prefer Kong or Nylabone- not that we give her Nylabone, but she shows no interest in them at the pet store.

My baby gets only natural bone, antler, sinew, etc for purpose of chewing. Or things she can't destruct. Yep, I'm that overprotective doggy mom. lol

okay, lets see if this works, I haven't been on flickr is a long time and was reminiscing on a lot of old pics I didn't know I have 
Here's Sammy intent on that cookie, sitting and being as good as possible to get it!
Why is this not working?? I think its flickr. Any recommendations for a hosting site?

yes, yes, that would be terrible to send a dog chocolate, and here I said that. Had to chuckle. We have always fed our dog everything, so he won't be sensitive, including avocado, nuts, veggies, all that they say is bad, but he continues to tolerate well, and if not we eat carrots together or I put carrot shreds in his food, which clears him up immediately. But even with that I draw the line at sweets, maybe a little pinkie tip corner of something just so he gets a micro taste of it, and our big guy handles it no problem, so it didn't occur to me that stating they were carob was essential. Ha ha, thanks for clearing that up, I can imagine most reading and being a bit horrified thinking bad Santa 🎅 still chuckling 😄
Mine love the carob cookies!thank you for the kong too!! I am very careful about what toys he gets and I should note that kipper sent the original, biggest Kong they make, which is truly indestructible. Most I have to take away as he disseminates them, so he doesn't eat any bad parts, like the squeaker. I pretty much gave up on trying to find inexpensive toys for him. Very surprised at this thoughtful and knowledgeable gift
We have some destructive dogs here, so and when you described his size, I figured he needed the largest Kong possible!

Maxx Bailey Sophia and Jackson apparently love Amazon....
As promised, Lilly and Justice are back to think Bailey, Maxx, Sophia, and Jackson for their wonderful bounty of gifts- WHICH ARE STILL COMING!?!
Warning to B&M and S&J's mommies: you might have compulsive amazon shoppers in your midst!
I thought we were done but boxes and packages have arrived every day the past four days, including today. I *think* it's finally safe to post pictures and reviews. But if anything else arrives, I'll be sure to thank everyone.
I must also preface this with the warning that I'm still wrestling with this respiratory bug- I'm feeling better but the congestion keeps me up coughing at night. Thus, please, no one judge the status of my dining room! lol. It's hard to clean when you're averaging 3-4 broken hours of sleep a night.
Though, I did have to make an obligatory beer shot in the background for Kipper. Shipyard is my fave pumpkin ale and relatively local to MA. Leine's berry Weiss because Berry Weiss!! (and my alma mater is UW- where Leine's is brewed), and Angry Orchard to go with Jack and Jim- honey flavored. All the microbrew stuff is in the beer fridge that you can't see, sorry Kipper. Oh, and there's wine. Lots and lots of wine. And booze. Please, no judging
Justice was partial to Lilly but now believes Sophia and Jackson are the BEST kitties ever. At least, she thinks they're kitties. She seems to think they have pretty good taste in doggy treats and toys AND kitty treats (my girls are oppourtunists- they will steal treats and toys whether they are for puppy or kitty.....) She also wonders how Bailey and Maxx knew that a tuffy style 'lobstah' was on her wish list.
The bounty includes:

The bounty includes:
- Blue Wilderness Kitty/Puppy treats in Turkey (a big hit!)
- Chicken flavored Churu sticks (dude! this smells just like Sunday roast chicken!!)
- Kong catnip beaver (at least it's not a kitty....how would I explain that? )
- Yeow stuffed catnip toys (they look like fruits and veggies....or maybe I'm just hungry)
- Smarty Cat organic catnip
- Omega Paw Treat Ball (hehehe Ms Justice now has to work for snacks!!)
- Two water/food bowls on carabiners (perfect for Justice's runs with daddy- mommy runs but is too slow- and even better for hikes with mommy)
- A grey Nylon pack away water bowl on a carabiner (GENIUS!! This will work for the above- but holds more so will get lots of use in the summer!)
- Kong Naturals Catnip
- Tuffy-style Lobster (Lobstah!!! Who doesn't love Lobstah?!?)
- And a tiger striped Tuffy bone to add to Justice's collection (a girl can never have too many toys)
- Paw Beam Laser cat toy (Lilly is too busy begging for catnip to have tried this yet...)
