Alpo Liv-a-Snaps: A Review

| Comments (0)

Alpo Variety Snaps. My dogs will do almost anything for a Liv-a-Snap!

In fact, my dogs will do anything for even the tiniest smidgen of a Liv-a-Snap dog treat!

I'm not kidding.


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

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'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!

  • Tenor hasn't really eaten moist dog foods much. He usually only gets dry dog food, so this was a special treat!
  • Our dog is doing fine 8 days after TPLO surgery. The bruising is mostly gone. Now his skin is just getting dry and itchy. He's wanting to lick his leg more than ever.
  • Our dog pooping. The long-awaited poop. There was so much in there, he actually went 3 times in a matter of seconds. A very proud moment.
  • Dog peeing a couple days after TPLO surgery. He's always squatted like a girl to pee, rather than lifting his leg, so that's not unusual.
  • Tenor is pretty much back to his old self these days -- 8 days after surgery. Now he's just bored.
  • Tenor is eating fine and getting around okay 8 days after surgery -- but he still won't put much weight on his foot.
  • Our dog is resting on a bed sheet out in the backyard after TPLO surgery.
  • Tenor dog is crouching down into a seated position -- on top of the bad leg! It didn't phase him at all. By the way the tongue action is because he'd just had a drink of water.
  • Ice cubes are good for a dog right after surgery. I don't think our dog ate or drank much while he was in the hospital. He seemed to be running a fever, and he couldn't get enough water and ice cubes.
  • Here, Tenor is lying directly on his bad leg. No worries. The only thing that was difficult for him during the first week of recovery was lying down on bulky things like blankets and dog pillows. It seemed to put extra pressure on parts of his leg.
  • Here you can see how bad the swelling is in the right rear ankle -- and this is while he's lying down! The swelling was on top of the foot, as well as in the ankle.
