Best dog food rolls according to redditors

We get dog food rolls for daily treats since they can be broken up tiny and per treat I don't think you can get cheaper. It's 8.29 for a 4lb roll and that lasts me about a month.

We also use chez balls for the super high value ones and string cheese.

Redbarn Food Rolls are cheap for the next 4 hours as part of Prime Day. $7.91 for chicken, $9.19 for lamb, $7.90 for beef. iirc the lowest they normally are is around $9.99.

Other deals now/coming up that stood out to me: Best Bully Stick stuff, wet and dry dog food (Natural Balance, Pro Plan), treats (Wellness, Blue Buffalo), Amazon's version of the Cooleroo elevated bed, Whistle GPS tracker.

Here's my list of "favorites" for my GSDs:

Chuck-It Balls. By far, the most durable balls I've found. They've got some "give", so they seem to enjoy chewing/chasing them more. Remember, once the ball can fit between their back teeth, it's time to upgrade to the larger size.


The Shark Vacuum is a beast. We've tried any number of vacuums over the years, this one falls into the "Not Stupidly Expensive and Totally Worth It" category. Getting a decent Undercoat Rake goes hand-in-hand with a good vacuum. Rake once a week (three times during shedding season), brush 1-3 times a week, you'll give your back a break no matter what vacuum you buy.

In terms of training treats, we really like the Red Barn Chicken and Liver Rolls. After a while, we use them exclusively for scent training, but it's an excellent (and not expensive!) treat for any kind of training. Cube small, you'll get a ton of mileage out of one roll.

Herm Sprenger Dog Collars make great training collars. Not everyone likes the idea of a pinch/prong collar, so if it's not your thing, look elsewhere. However, if you are planning on training with pinch, these are the best, bar none. We use the small size and just add links as our dog grows - it's almost impossible to injure them with the smaller prongs and they tend to respond better. Please learn how to use a pinch before using one of these extensively - they shouldn't be used for restraint and you should probably wait until 8+ months (a number of people I know even wait till 14+ months for any obedience aside from the "necessities") before doing a ton of training anyway.

I'll stay away from food recommendations as it seems to be such a controversial topic. I will say that there are a ton of good sites out there to research - first figuring out whether you're feeding raw, tube, or kibble and then what to do once you decide.

Last - look for a dog club in your area. I personally like the German Shepherd Dog Club of America - Working Dog Association, but there are a number of places like this. I can tell you irrefutably that my dogs' favorite day of the week is training day. Nothing like getting out there with other GSD lovers and doing some tracking/obedience/protection work.

Hope this helps! Good luck :)

These are the best I've found, dogs love them, and since they are a food alternative you don't have to worry about them eating too much junk food. It's cheap, and you cut it up yourself, that way you can decide how big or small you want the treats. There is also a selection of flavors to change it up every once in a while.
