Nudges® – The Perfect Treat for Max

Max, our German Shepherd, became part of the family on Christmas Day 2013.  He was six weeks old and it was love at first sight.  Our grandson, Logan, had begged for a dog for Christmas, but then added, “I want to keep him at your house.”  Smart kid – all of the fun with none of the responsibility.

“Baby” Max

Max is Such a Sweetheart

Recently, my husband was outside playing basketball with the grandsons.  He was taking a break (couldn’t keep up like I can, huh?) on the front porch when Logan fell on the concrete driveway and skinned his knees.  He was crying and in too much pain to get up, so Max kept running over to my husband, barking like crazy and would run back to Logan.  Finally, he laid down as close as he could get to Logan and tried to comfort him.  He would not move until my husband picked Logan up and took him inside.

Nudges Treats

Max is not Lassie!

I should skip right over the part where my husband said, “Lassie, did Timmy fall in the well?”  (You won’t get it unless you’ve seen Lassie.  Timmy seemed to always fall in the well.)  Max does deserve an academy award!  He’s that good!

When we invited the family over for our first cookout of the season a few days ago, I wanted to have a special treat for Max to enjoy.  The youngest grandchild’s favorite activity is giving Max a snack.  We have to keep our eyes on him to make sure he’s not sharing his ice cream with Max.

Nudges - Max's Favorite Treat

While I was shopping for the cookout at Walmart, my husband wandered over to the dog treat area and spotted a new product, Nudges® Grillers and Sizzlers.  After reading the ingredients, he knew he had found the perfect treat for Max.

All Natural Grillers - Max's favorite snack

Nudges® Grillers and Sizzlers come in a variety of flavors and sizes.  Max’s favorite is the Grillers Chicken and the Sizzlers Beef & Cheese.

  • Grillers –
    • Chicken (18oz)
    • Steak (3oz & 18oz)
  • Sizzlers –
    • Chicken Bacon (3oz & 18oz)
    • Beef & Cheese (3oz & 18oz)

Nudges Grillers & Sizzlers

I want the best for Max, so I’m glad that Nudges® are high quality, real food-inspired treats and that meat is the #1 ingredient. They’re made in the good ole’ USA with only USA-sourced protein. Also, there are no artificial flavors or fillers. They even have grill marks on them – perfect for a cookout!  The best part?  Max is wild about his new treats!

Max has brought such joy into our lives! And when I’m outside working in my flower gardens, he’s right beside me, licking my heels (hopefully he’ll grow out of that soon) and helping me dig (in all the wrong places).  And when it’s time for a treat, he deserves the very best.

Nudge Them Back

Oh, yeah, Max wants you to check out Nudges® new Jerky Cuts (36 oz.) value size the next time you’re at Walmart.

Max and Tegan

First of all … What sweet photos. Little boys at that age are so precious. I guess I appreciate that more now that mine are huge teens. Such great memories for your grandson… Pets are so loyal

I have three dogs. These treats look great. Will have to buy some for my dogs. It is so crazy how dogs respond when we are in need of help. Such as sweet story. 🙂

I am always looking for dog treat made with real ingredients especially as my dog has gotten older. Dogs are so loyal! We have actually used the Lassie quote with our dog 🙂

You have a great dog! Isn’t it amazing how they can show their concern?! Our dog does the same thing.
We’re always looking for great treats to give our fur babies and it’s great to know that this one has meat as the first ingredient.

I’m so used to cats that it always amazes me how BIG dogs can get! Though he’s absolutely adorable, baby or bigger. 🙂 One thing I like about dogs is the wide range of treats they get. Cats are kind of boring in that regard… Back when my brother had a dog I liked to pick him up cute/fun treats from the pet store. XD

Nudges look really good, I can actually see that they are made with real meat! My dog would love these, she is a massive glutton with treats.

Max sure looks thrilled with his Nudge treats! I know my cats go crazy when I bring out their treat packs. They get so excited!

This is the first time I’ve heard about Nudges but I think it’s sweet of you to get Max a super treat. Max is so lucky that he stays with you. I kinda miss the times when we used to have a pet dog at home, she makes my Mom & brother very happy and they’d always give her toys and well, special food ( treats ) and she was spoiled!

I haven’t seen these before! I will have to check around to see if I can get them here. My dogs would pretty much love these and probably fight over them!

What a great looking dog! I do not have dogs, but my daughter does and they love their treats. I think the grilled treats would be popular with Ringo and Elvis.

We’re still looking for a brand of treat to stick with for our old guy – if these are actual meat they’re worth giving a try. It surprised me when I started paying attention how many treats are just random…stuff…

I was impressed that the first ingredient on the packaging is meat. Max really loves them!
