Personally, I don't like any of those ;D But as for the Bandits treats- throw them away. They are quite literally garbage. Mine wouldn't touch the Marshalls chews even when they were still on kibble, either.

I don't think n-bones are that bad. I usually give mine a little piece of n-bone every now and then. I wouldnt feed it to them daily or anything but as an every now and then kind of treat it's not that bad. I probably wouldnt buy any of the rest of those, bandit treats especially are crap. I also give these occasionally www.amazon.com/Wellness-Delights-Chicken-Treats-3-Ounce/dp/B002PNGY28/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1309372773&sr=8-18They have no wheat, corn or soy products in them. They are soft which I like.. i've had some choking issues with dried jerky treats.. and they are like the perfect size, smaller than a dime. I also do some cooked pieces of plain chicken as treats or a little dab of ferretone or olive oil. Sometimes if I'm cooking I give them a piece of raw meat from whatever I'm making... even if its the same thing they have in their cage, they love to come and get some of whatever mom has

i didn't buy these recently. i got them from when i bought my FN, the lady gave me a bunch of things as well.
what do you think of the dental sticks though? they don't seem that bad. and yes, i was planning on throwing away the bandits, i just wasn't sure if it was just me who thought they were crap. ;D

Eh... you could probably give them those until they are gone but I wouldnt buy more. I think the n-bones are a little better. The dental sticks are pretty much the same thing as n-bones but with more fillers in them.
Most people here probably wouldnt approve of anything processed.. all natural is the way to go but sometimes our little furry friends are not so approving of our attempts to provide them with the best.. I think as long as its not absolute junk and you only give it to them every now and then it'll be okay.

You're right on that ;D Both the natural treats, and the "every now and then" bit ;D

I think the answers you've gotten are about what I'd say, with one addition: I let my terminally ill babies have Bandits if they want them. I also have them in the house because they were a gift. Two of my babies who had GI lymphoma and very little time left loved Bandits, and since nothing was going to improve their prognosis, I used the Bandits to make them happy in the time we had left. And boy, were they happy! The only thing they liked more was 'Tone. Their little faces just lit up when they saw the red bag.

I can certainly understand that, and actually do agree with it for the most part. I couldn't with mine, because Bandit's always gave them digestive upsets.
