Alpo Liv-a-Snaps: A Review

For some reason, Alpo Liv-a-Snaps are like catnip to our dogs.

...and it's definitely not a short-lived thing.

All three of my dogs have been crazy about Liv-a-Snaps ever since the first day I introduced them to the tasty treat over 8 years ago.

Why Liv-a-Snaps Are A Great Dog Treat

Well, I guess you'd have to ask my dogs to get to the real reason that Alpo Liv a Snaps are the best dog treats in the world...

But from my point of view, I'd have to say these are the best things about Alpo Liv-a-Snaps (or Alpo Variety Snaps):

Good texture. These oven-baked biscuits don't crack or crumble into tiny pieces (thus, they're not filled with air!) and they've got some substance to them.

Don't need to be refrigerated. Despite the fact that they seem to have some moisture to them, they don't have to be kept in the refrigerator (...like their other favorite dog treats do). No, Liv-a-Snaps aren't soft treats -- far from it -- but they seem to have some real substance to them.

Easy to digest. The natural oat fiber in Liv-a-Snaps make for optimal digestion in your dog's system.

Variety of flavors. Inside each box of Variety Snaps, you get four different flavors of dog treats. From the box: "Bite-sized treats with real beef, chicken, liver & lamb flavors."

Made with real liver. Dogs love liver!... It's a source of high-quality protein for strong and health muscles.

Low cost. A huge 16 oz. box of Alpo Liv-a-Snaps contains over 150 individual dog treats, yet it costs less than $3.00!

Availability. You can find Liv-a-Snaps everywhere... from local supermarkets and grocery stores to top-of-the-line pet stores.

Loaded with vitamins. The package says, "Enriched with 11 essential vitamins for healthy skin and coat."

I must say... despite what the packaging says, Liv-a-Snaps do not really make our dogs breath fresher -- as far as I can tell. I'm sure that's a very subjective claim... in that the very act of chewing (particularly of hard, crunchy items) helps to scrape minor amounts of plaque off the teeth most of the time, thus lessening any bad odors that might be building up inside the mouth.

Still, it might be a bit of a stretch to think that your dog's breath will actually smell good now.

The fact remains, we've been buying Alpo Liv-a-Snaps for our dogs for years!

Our dogs love 'em. So naturally that means we do too!
