If you know me, you know how selective I am about the dog treats I offer for my dog, N.A.S.H.A. and the furry friends I pet sit. You also know that N.A.S.H.A. is even pickier than I am. I have learned to embrace her judgmental tendencies and now consider them an asset for us and for you. We're only bringing you the best of the best when we recommend dog treats. We've recently discovered Vera™ premium dog treats. They are crafted with quality ingredients and evoke the timeless tradition of your local deli, even down to the paper wrap and twine-printed packaging.

I am being compensated for helping to spread the word about Vera. Well Minded only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. All opinions are my own. Vera is not responsible for the content of this article.

what's so great about vera premium dog treats?

Vera claims to provide the "flavor experience of a lifetime," and, according to N.A.S.H.A., that's very true. She can't get enough. But before I even let her smell a new treat, I make sure it's of the highest quality (I'm still teaching her how to do thorough research). I believe that what's not in our dog treats is as important as what is in them. What's so great about Vera premium dog treats?

• crafted with quality, wholesome, healthy ingredients

• 95% meat

• no artificial colors or preservatives

• no animal by-products

• no fillers, wheat, corn, or soy

• made in Ireland

what we thought

N.A.S.H.A. was a bit too excited about the Vera treats. We tried the chicken fillets and the beef fillets, and she just about lost her marbles over both of them. When I opened the package, she immediately started cycling through her repertoire of tricks in hopes that one would trigger my hand to open and release the goods.

N.A.S.H.A. eagerly shows off "up" without being asked. This is a whole treat, but they are easily broken apart for smaller dogs like ours.

The treats are pretty big for N.A.S.H.A., but they are easily broken in whatever size. Being only eleven pounds, we get about five breaks out of one treat. A whole piece would be great for larger dogs.
