This thread is a tribute to my big brother and senior treat reviewer, Zhuyo. In his honor, I humbly consolidated the reviews of manufactured treats in his "Treat Review by Zhuyo" thread into this one thread. I have done away with his detail oriented ratings and am using a simple likert clap scale of 1 to 5. 1 meaning "don't bother" and 5 is "out of this world, THE BEST!"

Does that make sense? Easy enough! Thank you very much.

I remain,

Pnutz

Reviewer: Baby Leonora
"Great!! Played with it rolled with it, hid it in the fireplace, under the pew, under the bed and played hide & seek with it. YUMM!!!


Reviewer: Zhuyo
"Quite Delicious"


Reviewer: Pip
"The Best... The most delicious treat"


Reviewer: Lily
"dropped mine in the dirt twice, Mommy sprayed it off with the hose and had me eat it in the grass. Good Recommendation!"


Reviewer: Kodi
"Kodi LOVES these! PNutz is the BOMB!"


Editor-at-Large's note: Unfortunately, Pnutz is no longer being manufactured and sold in stores. The company has decided to focus on their Greenie and Pill Pocket product line. Additionally, as of 3/2008 the company who manufactures both Greenies and Pill Pockets, as well as the entire NUTRO product line was acquired by the McKesson Corporation. So they are not longer little companies in the treat/food pool.
