Why soft? Softer treats are usually more appealing to dogs compared to crunchy treats although there are definitely exceptions! Soft treats are also faster (and cleaner) to eat, and easier to cut down to size.

Why strips? I use a LOT of treats and everything I buy has to be cut down to size so the dogs don’t get too many calories. Larger pieces (like jerky) are faster to cut than a bunch of small, but not small enough, treats.

Pro Tip: make sure the strips are a soft jerky instead of a dehydrated jerky.
