Bolivia's riot policemen take position at a street in La Paz. The riot police are part of police operations in charge of maintaining control in La Paz as Amazonic indigenous people from the territory of Isiboro Secure national park, known by its Spanish acronym TIPNIS, arrive after walking 640 km (398 miles) to defend their territory against the planned construction of a highway through the middle of the park.

Drug Testing FAQ
Q: How do drugs get into hair?
A: As drugs circulate in the blood stream, they enter and nourish hair follicle cells. As cells grow, they trap the drug molecules within the hair cells and are eventually "sealed" in the keratinized hair shaft. Thus, the amount and time the drug(s) are in the blood stream is proportional to the amount of drug detected in the hair. THC stays in your blood for 2-3 days.
Q: How soon after use can a drug be detected in hair?
A: It takes approximately 5-10 days from the time of drug use for the affected hair to grow above the scalp.
Q: When THC metabolites are filtered into the hair do they create a ring around the hair follicle? Or does THC migrate along the shaft like cocaine does? The essential question being will cutting my hair short enough work?
A: Hair testing requires a sample of hair about the diameter of a pencil and 1-1/2 inches long. They can not be done with a single hair. So approximately 50 strands of hair from the scalp are sent to a testing lab where it is liquefied. The hair sample is dissolved in a series of solvents which extract the drug metabolites and then are analyzed via GC-MS. It can take several hours to days just to extract metabolites. The liquid is run through the most sensitive GC-MS machines available, and can detect as little as 1 ng/mL.
Q: How much hair do they need?
A: A standard screen with GC-MS confirmation requires 20 milligrams of hair or approximately 60 strands.
Q: Can tests be run on people with little or no hair?
A: Yes, hair can be collected from several locations on the head and combined to obtain the required amount of hair. In addition, body hair can be used as an alternative to head hair.
Q: Does body hair give the same type of results as head hair?
A: Yes, body hair can be used to test for the five standard drugs. Body hair growth rates are considerably more variable and slower than head hair. Most body hair is genetically controlled and replaced within one year. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately represent the time period of a standard screen with body hair.
Q: How does the testing lab establish its cut-off levels?
A: Cut-off levels are established by the minimum detection levels for GC-MS confirmation, which are given by NIDA.
Q: What is the cut off level for cannabis in a hair test?
A: Carboxy-THC 1 pg/mg (.001 ng/mL).
Q: How long does it take a lab to test a sample?
A: 4-5 business days.

50 Days: 22.0 mm, 0.866142 Inches
60 Days: 26.4 mm, 1.03937 Inches
How Quickly Does Hair Grow?
On the eyebrows, the growing phase is only about 10 weeks, so eyebrow hairs never grow very long. Pubic and armpit hair growth rates are roughly similar, while leg hairs grow more slowly and are shorter. So these types of hairs are replaced about every 10 weeks. According to Health News, "Armpit hair grows at about .3mm per day." and that "healthy scalp hair grows an average of half an inch or one centimeter per month."

Shampoo Information
Propylene glycol is the primary chemical in detox shampoos that removes carboxy-THC from hair. There was some misinformation in the original version of this FAQ. EDTA will not help you pass a drug test. It removes metal ions from hair, and has little or no effect on lipophilic organic molecules like cannabinoids.

Shampoo Note
For every story of someone using a "home remedy" or so-called detox product and passing, there's another story of someone else doing basically the same thing and failing. The truth is, it's all a big crap shoot for people who have been regular users. The only guaranteed way to pass a hair is abstinence and time. Quit for about 90 days prior to being tested, and get one reasonably short hair cut per month to get rid of all the evidence. I think the consensus seems to be that "detox miracle products" don't work. Most people use the MacCuj0 method or a variation because it is cheep and has given good results to many people. Although not working for everyone. Using Nexxus Aloe Rid or Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three is an everyday treatment that relatively inexpensive and seems to aid in cleansing your hair of toxins. You have to wash your hair anyway so why not use one of the two or both.

Even if there is no need, if you see a sale signs hanging all over a shopping center, you will tend to buy. But that is not an advisable thing to do as there are some needs you might neglect buying because you have been enticed buying things you don't need. This is why, some shoppers opt to shop online to check if there are sales and discounts they can avail that will pertain to their needs.
For a cyclist, or any sports enthusiast, a cycling jersey is a very comfortable piece of clothing you wear if you need to move around. That is why, as much as possible, you need to have quite a number of it. You can't own two cycling and call yourself a cyclist. So if you want to shop for more, be sure to find the best deal, discounts and the most affordable cycling jersey price.
Cycling jersey, depending on the place, can cost about $50-$100 or so. So if you can find some cheaper jersey to buy, it would be better.
Here are some tips in which you can do to avail affordable cycling jersey.
- Christmas is coming and with it, you can smell sales and discounts. If you search online, there are a lot of sites offering affordable cycling jersey with discounts.
- Browse online shops and go to the jersey section. You will find that there are jerseys styles sold on sale. See the red crossed price? It's the old price, the new price font color black will probably be lesser than in the red mark.
- It is also a fact that the more you buy, the cheaper it gets. As long as you are buying from the same supplier, find wholesale cycling jersey and buy wholesale. There are stores as well that offers wholesale cycling jerseys.
- If you are into online coupons offered by local area shopping center, you try look into your city's directory and find in the business section if your local mall is offering online coupons on cycling jersey. The coupon will enable you to have discounts thus enabling you to buy and affordable cycling jersey.
- Scour your local shop for Christmas sales. Just be sure you have set your mind to buy affordable cycling jersey so you won't be tempted to buy something else.
- Do not buy your cycling jersey from bike shops as they tend to overprice on cycling outfit. Try going to sports shop as they offer more affordable cycling jersey.

Dinner Club Ideas - Polynesian
- TSAW Aug 19, 2011 04:53 PM
I've had such great responses from Chowfriends in the past when I've needed ideas for my dinner club, so I thought I'd throw it out there again this time. Our theme is "Polynesian". I'm not exactly sure what that means, but possibly Hawaiian inspired. The club doesn't require you to be completely authentic, but instead use your imagination and let yourself be inspired by the theme and most of all have fun.
We are bringing the appetizers only - so just some fingers foods, hot and cold, that can travel by car. Not salads or vegetables, as another couple will do those. We don't have access to a BBQ we can use the oven/burners or bring an electric frying pan. We usually do 2 dishes.
Of course I think of pineapple, coconut and macadamian nuts.These all seem basic and standard. Does anyone have any other polynesian/hawaiian inspired ideas? Forget SPAM! Gross - that will never pass my lips!
I'd also love to hear anyone's suggestions for a killer presentation. We love to WOW everyone with super looking platter. But really.. I'm not that creative. I did buy some frozen banana leaf sheets (size/shape of a piece of computer paper). Other than that, I own white platters and don't plan on buying anything new.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. The other Dinner Club folks are always intrigued by my ideas and have no clue that I have an army of Chowfriends to think for me!
I don't know enough about Polynesian cooking to think of a dish for you, but I have an idea for presentation. It is something i do when I make pineapple fried rice, but it could work for many dishes that include pineapple. The idea is to use the hollowed out whole pineapple to serve the dish.
It is fairly simple, assuming you have some kind of pineapple corer (or can get one for about 8$ from the grocery store). You cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple as straight/evenly as possible with a large chefs knife. Use the corer to cut out the center fruit (the one I have makes a spiral so that the core itself is separated and the rest of the fruit is cut into a spiral/rings). Use the fruit for your dish. Use toothpicks (maybe 6?) to re-attach the bottom of the pineapple, then fill it (with the fried rice, in my case) so that it comes slightly above the top edge. Put it on a serving plate and put the leafy pineapple top next to it.
I have also seen something (in a restaurant) where the pineapple was cut in half vertically and hollowed out for serving the dish, but you would have to search for how to do that because I don't know.
When I was a teenager, my family used to go to the Kahiki in Columbus, Ohio, a couple times a year. It was the most amazing Polynesian restaurant ever. Here's a little article about it. There's a dinner menu in the image gallery. It's hard to read, but you may be able to get some ideas from it. There's a lunch menu, too, but look for the dinner one.
I remember having appetizers that were meatballs on a wooden skewer that you held over a flaming terra cotta pot. It had a sweet sauce to dip them in. The meatballs may have been pork. They had a fine texture, as if they were twice-ground.
There was a pressed duck dish that I always got. The duck was pressed into cubes about
1 1/4" square. These had a dipping sauce, too.
Sounds like a fun dinner group!
re: jmcarthur8
Thanks I love the link - very inspiring for decor and drink ideas but the food... Blah. Nothing Polynesian about mozza sticks and prime rib!!
Ricepad: long pig fingers? I have no idea if that's a joke or not!?
re: TSAW
Very much a joke. Long pig fingers are pretty much impossible to get commercially (and dangerous to acquire in the wild), they don't yield a lot of meat, and (I assume) they'd tend to be very tough. OTOH, I bet you'd only need a HANDFUL (heh) for presentation purposes, because I doubt anybody would eat them!
re: ricepad
Here is LA we have Trader Vics.
Here is the linq to their dinner menu:
The pressed duck is amazing.
re: ricepad
Isn't long pig a euphemism for human flesh?
re: mnosyne
toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe
poe-tay-toe, poe-tah-toe
long pig, human.
Coooked beef and/or chicken chunks and fresh pineapple on bamboo skewers.
Marinate the meat chunks in teriyaki sauce and cook (grill/saute) and thread on bamboo.
Serve on your platters lined with the banana leaves.
Well if you're doing Polynesian and have the gumption for it - Poisson Cru - the national dish of Tahiti, it is VERY yummy but I've only had it in Tahiti with fresh coconut milk (so I don't know how canned will be with it).
A quick search found this link
but I'm sure there are more out there if you wanted to look. I've been to French Polynesia a few times and the native food is very fish and fruit inspired. They also do a few curry type sauces and like in Hawaii pigs cooked in the pit are always good.
You could do a roast pork appetizer that you could slow roast ahead of time and then serve on a flat bread (pork and pineapple is also a good combo if you wanted to do a chutney on top of it).
Same idea but with shrimp in a curry sauce would be good too.
Ironically they grow a lot of watermelon on some of the larger islands. I do an appetizer that is a square of watermelon (say 1 inch square), topped with a small piece of goat cheese, topped with a small bit of olive tapenade. I know sounds weird but tastes really good. And would look really good for this type of party.
ends up looking something like this (just tried to find an image that would give you an idea
If you have time (ironically I just recommended this site on another post yesterday) I recommend (and no I don't work for them at all)
They have some fun bamboo individual serving boats and other things that would look very inspired for this theme.
This is not authentic, or probably even useful, but my parents used to love Hawaii Kai in NYC, and I remember getting a recipe from there that had gherkin pickles as an main ingredient.
A pupu platter's a must, and since you have oven or electric skillet you could easily work out things like: Teriyaki beef/pork kebabs w/ pineapple, marinated veg/prawn skewers, foil-wrapped shoyu chicken, miniature eggrolls, an Indonesian-inspired marinade for lamb chunks, coconut shrimps with tropical fruit chutneys for dipping. You could even do small rice noodle salads, or an Asian-inspired cabbage/cilantro/peanut/chicken slaw, and serve it in miniature take out containers, with chopsticks. Polynesian is pretty fast and loose, terminology-wise - think about using the usual suspects you mentioned in different applications, like using those macadamias to make a nut crust for prawns, etc., or in mini-cheesecakes for dessert; pineapple in a cucumber/cilantro salad, a little more savory than sweet. Enjoy; yours sounds like a very fun group and not pretentious at all.
re: mamachef
mamachef, this all sounds so delicious I may have to have a Polynesian dinner myself!

Floyd County Board of Supervisors Meeting
January 26, 2009, 9:00 AM
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors met for workshop session at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, January 26, 2009 in the Board Room of the Floyd County Courthouse with the following in attendance: Chairman Staudt and Supv Dunkel; Absent: Supv Enabnit..
Dunkel/Staudt moved to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried 2-0.
Brian Crane, Growth Properties, LLC, shared information with the Board regarding building improvement projects he has been working on in Charles City and Mason City that are similar to projects being considered for the courthouse. Crane's interest as a tax payer and a business owner are that the county explore all options and be cost conscious for a system that will serve the building well. Crane suggested the county contact a Mason City architect that he has worked with and a firm that works with MidAmerican Energy.
The Board reviewed two receipts from Marilyn Dettmer, Magistrate Judge, for a bathroom light fixture and window treatment in the judge's chamber. Dettmer requested personal reimbursement or a donation receipt for these items. The Auditor reported that an electrician fixed the previous light fixture when improvements were made to the bathroom and had hoped to hold off on window treatment until the county decided whether or not to do a window replacement project. The Board will act on this issue at tomorrow's regular meeting.
The Auditor informed the Board about HF 2539 which went into effect July 1, 2007. Tax implications of the new law which expands eligibility for health insurance coverage to an employee's dependent, who no longer meets the IRS dependent qualifications, but is unmarried, an Iowa resident and under the age of 25 or a fulltime student were discussed. Discussion included the Auditor's proposal on the County's treatment of the benefit to the employee, Auxiant's Compliance Department and our third party auditor's agreement with proposal, along with review by the County Attorney. Supv Dunkel would like to know David Vestal's, ISAC attorney, position on how to handle the tax implications. The Auditor has not received a reply back regarding the proposal which was e-mailed last week to Brad Holtan, ISAC Accounting Manager, who had distributed information on the subject to all auditors.
The Board noted that Minessa Wiltse was promoted to Lead Jailer with an hourly rate of $13.11 and Tami Knecht will be a jailer with an hourly rate of $12.15, both effective January 29, 2009.
The Board noted the receipt of the Cedar Lake Dam Project, Hydroelectric Project, Preliminary Permit No. 12628-000 Iowa. The information will be given to Jeff Sherman, Zoning/E911 Addressing/Sanitarian Director, to keep in his file on the project.
The Board noted a $1,000 merit wage increase for Bridget Moe, Emergency Management Coordinator as approved by the Emergency Management Commission.
The Board reviewed the FY10 budget. Discussion included funding for the libraries, FOCUS, Crisis Intervention, Fair Society, and Foster Grandparents and wages for Veteran Affairs, Zoning/E-911 Addressing/Sanitarian, and Conservation.
A motion was made by Supervisor Dunkel and seconded by Supervisor Staudt to adjourn. Motion carried 2-0.

Adelaide Bee's Patchwork Nursery
Smaller Cooler 2011 Entry #35
Name: Adelaide Bee (9 months)
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Division: Single Room
Room Size: 65 square feet
Tip for Living Small with Kids: Buy less. Purge often. Embrace the chaos. We created small play areas in several rooms of the apartment, and after Adelaide's put to bed, we wander around, cleaning up the mess! I can only imagine how much worse it will be once walking and crawling start! In the meantime, we are constantly working on eliminating anything that we no longer need, in an effort to keep the clean up to a minimum.
Biggest Design Challenge in this Room: Designing on a budget. We hardly purchased anything new for Adelaide's room, but moved items in from other spaces to create a nursery that felt fresh and new. We received the crib as a gift, and the rocker and 'changing table' are hand-me-downs from friends. This room used to be our studio/office, and I think our biggest challenge has been giving that up that space and making room for work in the rest of the apartment.
Favorite Thing About This Room: I love the colors... We wanted a girls room, without being "girly". We chose a blue-green wall color, and accented with bright yellows and pinks. I also really love the retro pieces, and the fact that so many of the items in her room are handmade. Several blankets were made by great-grandmothers, my husband and I made the mobile (based on a pattern from Spool Sewing), and I made the bunting, the quilt on the rocking chair, the curtains and trim on the shade, and the fabric covered Lack shelves from Ikea. As a textile designer, and avid sewer, knitter and maker, the style of her room came together easily, using fabric and yarn that I had on hand.
Thanks for your entry Holly and good luck!

this is so so cute! well done!
Very cute! And I'm tripping out a little bit because my 1-yr old is named Adelaide and her nursery is light blue with the Spool bird mobile and is the same vintage/handmade style as this!!
My Adelaide has that changing station cover too!
Cutest nursery I've seen
Love the birds.
I love all the colors and textures. What a happy room.
My girlfriend would LOVE the color you painted your room! Would you mind sharing the paint color name?
Love the mobile.
Beautiful! What a bright and cheery girl's room. I've just gotten some wonderful ideas for my own little girl.
that bunting is perfection.
Your bird mobile is gorgeous.
Beautiful. Great colors. Creative, cheery ideas.love the bird mobile and the vintage fabrics used.

Mommy and Daddy have awesome taste!
thank you everyone for all your kind comments! i am on the ohdeedoh site everyday, and it's such an honor to see our space up here!
carleymichelle: i'm fairly certain that the paint was benjamin moore's ocean spray.
crookedshmooked: does your adelaide have big fat cheeks too? if so, perhaps they're kindred spirits? ooh, or maybe we are!
Great Job! I really love the use of all the different fabrics; it has a warm and please snuggle right in vibe. The mobile is beyond words!
Are you the seamstress? I just love everything sewn in this room! What a great style you have ...great job!
Ha, my daughter was almost an Adelaide (turned out to be a Sadie) and we have a similar nursery too - Spool birds and stretched fabric too. Obviously I love this room!
Definitely the best! Gorgeous. Lucky little girl, obviously very loved. (Yes it gets more chaotic and untidy!! Never a dull moment with little girls).

Bob and Marcia were a Jamaican vocal duo, that consisted of Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths. They had a #5 UK hit single in 1970 with "Young, Gifted and Black". They followed up with "Pied Piper", which peaked at #11 in the UK Singles Chart in 1971. Those two releases spent a total of twenty five weeks in that chart in a period of less than eighteen months. They discontinued their partnership in the mid-1970s, both feeling that it was not bringing them adequate financial reward.

" Brand: Pedigree / Food Type: Dog Food "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Pedigree Gravy Bones are dog treats which I have been feeding my dog for years. They are crunchy biscuits with a meaty gravy coating.
The Gravy bones are brown coloured and very smooth. I would almost describe them as shiny! I like the fact they aren't crumbly or powdery as this allows me to put them in my pocket. They are shaped like little bones and smell quite meaty. The packaging states that the Gravy Bones contain 'vitamins, calcium and omega 3' and contain 'no artificial colours or flavours' (maintaining healthy teeth, bones and natural defences) which is good to know. I'm not a scientist so I can't dissect the Gravy Bones and confirm this but what I can confirm is that my dog has always got on well with them, we haven't experienced any bad side effects - no itchy outbursts or dodgy stomachs!
Ingredients include cereals, minerals, meat and animal derivatives, vegetable origin derivatives, oils and fats. The nutritional information is as follows: protein 11%, oil 7%, ash 16%, fibre 0.7%. I don't really know what this means (!) but I don't see anything particularly bad in the ingredients...
My dog absolutely loves these little treats and will do anything to get his paws on one. I find they're very good for bribing... I mean TRAINING your dog. My devil dog will turn in to perfect pooch if I hold a couple of Gravy Bones in my hand! I find them particularly useful for when we are out on walkies. My dog is stupidly friendly but when out on walks he can be quite odd with other dogs, I believe that rewarding him with treats such as gravy bones for good behaviour has really made our walks much more successful and enjoyable in recent years.
The Gravy Bones are about an inch to two inches long and I'd say they're quite generously sized for treats. My dog is quite happy to eat small treats but he eats them so fast that he almost inhales them! That really doesn't seem very indulgent and 'treat-like' to me. Don't get me wrong, Gravy Bones aren't HUGE but at least he gets a couple of crunches out of them and can actually taste them before they go down the hatch! The Gravy Bones can also be snapped in half if you want to make them smaller or want them to last longer.
I'd say these treats are suitable for all dogs, both big and small. My dog is very big and enjoys these treats and we used to have a small dog that also enjoyed these treats. The only difference is that my big dog could eat 3 Gravy Bones in the same time that it took for my small dog to eat 1! These treats are crunchy but certainly not hard and not particularly chewy. I imagine that they'd be suitable for all dogs, even those with sensitive or ageing teeth.
The Pedigree feeding guide recommends small dogs can have up to 6 Gravy Bones per day, medium dogs can have up to 12 Gravy Bones per day and large dogs can have up to 18 Gravy Bones per day. Whilst doing some research for this review I have read that some dogs have reportedly choked on Gravy Bones due to their outer smooth texture (which goes slippery when mixed with saliva). This is rather concerning so I may consider breaking them all in half from now on!
You can buy Pedigree Gravy Bones at all supermarkets (which is convenient for me as I can pick them up with my everyday shopping) and pet stores. They stand out on the shelf as they are packaged in bright yellow Pedigree packaging and have a picture of the actual product on the front. They come in large bags (1.5kg), small packets or standard sized boxes (400g). I would say the most common are the boxed Gravy Bones, which is what we buy. They normally cost around the £1.50 but I often find that they're on offer (usually for £1.00). I always make sure I pick up a box when they're on offer but in all honesty I think the full price is pretty reasonable considering there are LOADS of Gravy Bones per box - very good value for money. Our box of Gravy Bones can sometimes last up to a couple of weeks. The cardboard box is easy enough to retrieve the gravy bones from (I usually just tip a couple in to my hand) and seems to keep the Gravy Bones perfectly fresh.
My dog seems to find Pedigree Gravy Bones DELICIOUS and I think they're pretty neat too! I'm happy to recommend these convenient little treats to all dog owners.
I have a good friend living close by to me who owns two small dogs. I will regularly try and help her out by popping into her house to spend a little time with her two doggies and give them some company whilst she is at work, particularly when she has to work longer shifts than usual. In addition, when my ill health allows, I will often take the dogs for a walk around our local park for a bit of a run around, but this is really only possible when I am feeling particularly 'well' as one of the dogs 'Max' is extremely energetic and I find keeping up with him a struggle at times!
I will occasionally purchase a toy or some treats to feed my little doggy friends, and the ones I purchased most recently are from the well-known 'Pedigree' brand of dog food and treats, namely the "Gravy Bones", with this review outlining our experiences.
I've purchased these treats for my little friends many times, and they are always popular. On this occasion, I purchased a box of the treats from Tesco where I paid in the region of £1.50 for the box which is 400g in size. This is reasonable value, but I think it is worth mentioning that many pet shops sell these particular treats loose or in large, clear bags. I can generally get a large bag of these treats for around £1 from my local pet shop, so it might be worth bearing that in mind if you have an independent pet shop near to where you live.
The Gravy Bones are VERY popular with dogs, in my experience. Indeed, I don't recall ever coming across a dog that didn't find their taste and flavour extremely appealing and enticing, and in my years working in a veterinary background, even the most stubborn of hounds could usually be coaxed into whatever reasoning was required with the help of a yummy Gravy Bone... or three.
The little bones are just that; little brown biscuits that are shaped like bones. They are quite 'neat' in their size, being around an inch long. They are dark brown in colour and have a notable 'sheen' to their surface which is quite unusual for biscuits like this one, I think, with this being the sort of 'gravy' coating on the outside of the treats. Their texture is quite hard, but I can 'snap' one in two quite easily, which I will often do as one of my friends' dogs has had several teeth removed in the past, so I tend to find that she prefers smaller portions with treats like this one. I would say that the treats can become quite sticky if you hold one in your hand for more than a minute or two - worth bearing in mind if you want to avoid your hands being left with a notable 'meaty' aroma..!
The Gravy Bones are quite crunchy, but are not so hard that they pose problems for the dogs when they are chomping them happily. They can crunch them up quite easily - dental problems or not! - and will happily consume every last crumb.
I find too that these little Bones are the perfect bribe; Max isn't the best when it comes to his recall; sometimes he responds, and sometimes he doesn't.. BUT I find that letting him know I have a small stash of the Gravy Bones on my person when we are out on our little outings together will get the message home quite nicely; come back to me when I want you to, and you will get a Bone! Most times, it works. This leads me to think that they would be helpful in training puppies and working dogs too.
It's worth noting, I think, that the bones are fairly robust, irrespective of their small, neat size; I can carry some of the treats in my pocket without them breaking up into a crumby mess, which makes them ideal to take on our little outings together.
Another point to mention, I think, is that the box contains feeding guidelines, so you can judge the amount to feed your dog, based on his size and breed. I do have to be honest, however, and say that the amounts listed on the box seem vaguely excessive, in my view, and I do think that a couple of the treats at one time is more than enough; experience has taught me that feeding dogs - or cats! - too many treats at the one time can occasionally upset the stomach, so I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to treating my furry friends.
In terms of the Pedigree Gravy Bones nutritional values, the product claims to contain "Vitamins & Minerals" which I have found is normal practice with a product like this one. In addition, the Gravy Bones contain "Omega 3" and "Calcium" which is known to be beneficial to teeth and bones. Lastly, I like the fact that the Bones are "Free from artificial colours and flavours" as I am mindful of the fact that their intended recipients are not MY dogs, and I don't want to be feeding them anything overly unhealthy - this assurance offers me a little piece of mind that the product is made of quality ingredients.
I don't find that the Gravy Bones are particularly susceptible to becoming spoiled in their box once it has been opened, but I tend to keep them in an airtight jar, just in case. I have found that some brands of dog biscuit and treat will occasionally become softened once their packaging has been opened, but I have to say that this doesn't seem to put the dogs off from consuming them! In any event, the Gravy Bones seem to be a bit more robust in this regard, and I don't recall them softening before they were all finished.
In summary, both me AND my doggy friends recommend the Pedigree Gravy Bones. They are (apparently) tasty, appetising and delicious, and from a 'human point of view' they are not overly expensive, and work well as a bribe without being harsh on the dogs' stomach, or being overly poor in terms of nutritional value.
The Pedigree Gravy Bones are widely available to buy from good supermarkets such as Tesco, in addition to most pet shops and stockists.
It was recently my dog Sammie's eighth birthday so I made sure I bought her lots of treats. Whilst browsing the pet section in B&M the other day, I came across these Pedigree Gravy Bones which were selling for just 99p. Even though I always like the look of Pedigree products, it's not often I buy them as I think that they are quite expensive, especially when there are cheaper brands available. However, I do think that the 99p I paid for this 400g of bones was amazing value for money.
They come in a lovely attractive yellow box. The box is sealed and to open it you simply lift up the tabs. One thing which I find though is that as the box doesn't seal securely once it has been opened. The only thing I find is that as I keep the treats on a shelf it is very easy to knock over and the bones go everywhere. That's my only problem. Although then again I am sure you could always store them in a tin or plastic container to keep them secure and fresh. Although even though the box doesn't close securely after, they still seem to stay fresh which is good.
Basically the bones are bone shaped...obviously. They are a brown in colour and very shiny. Looking at them you would expect them to be shiny, however they are not which is good, as there is nothing worse than having sticky things in your pocket. You can tell that they have been 'well baked' as they are very crunchy. They actually smell of gravy too.
They are quite long - not really long, but longer than other bones I've seen. One advantage of this however is you can snap them in half, which means that they last longer if you only give your dog half a bone, rather than one whole bone. As I have a few dogs, this also means that there are more to go around.
Now what was the verdict? Well, my dogs love their treats, however I have never seen them so eager 'for another treat' as they are with these bones. Whilst they always want another treat when I give them one, with these I don't know how many times I nearly got knocked over from them jumping up for another one. So I guess that means that they are very, tasty; especially as they gulp them down. So definitely a thumbs up from my dogs.
They are also very good to use as rewards for good behaviour and for learning. I taught my one dog to 'sit' very quickly and easily using these bones as a reward.
Whilst these bones do contain vitamins and minerals and are said to be good for dogs' teeth, I assume that they are not that good for them and so I always limit them to no more than ten of these a day. I would buy these again, providing they were 99p again - although they are not something I would buy every week, just as an occasional treat now and again.
I would definitely recommend these bones.
Thanks for reading!
February 2014
I couldn't ask for anything other than gravy bones for my dog! If I shouted another treat for him he wouldn't come to me as when he's outside and I want him to come in all I need to do is shout gravy bones and he comes running! For the price of the gravy bones is great as theres a lot of gravy bones in the box for the price, they last a long time and can keep your dog very happy! Id be lost without them! I would highly reccommed gravy bones as if your dogs a picky eater he would definatley not pick at this treat, he would savour every moment and keep asking for more. I've taught my dog many tricks such as lying down, rolling over and shaking his paw by treating him with a gravy bone every time, I couldn't ask for a better treat for him!
We are lucky enough to have two lovely dogs in our house. Don't get me wrong, sometimes they drive me up the wall, they can be boistrous, energetic, loud, clumsy and they can open doors and run riot around the house but they are very much a part of our family and I couldn't imagine our home without them. Toby is a small Chihuahua crossed with a Yorkshire Terrier and Kaiser is a Patterdale Terrier and they are aged 4 and 3.
Both of the boys enjoy gravy bones and always have, sometimes they go off treats if they have them often but gravy bones have remained a consistant favourite, I think they like the crunchy biscuit texture.
I purchased a 400g box of these gravy bones from Asda for £1.39, they're also available in larger 1.5Kg bags for £3.89 and these prices seem to be similar across all the supermarkets. I have tried them on imitation gravy bones but they do not enjoy these as much as the Pedigree version.
They come packaged in a box and state that they are a 'crunchy biscuit combined with a delicious meaty coating. One of the tastiest biscuits around. The treats are free from artificial colours and flavourings and contain omega 3, calcium and vitamins and minerals to keep your dog healthy and happy'. Our dogs are healthy and haven't had any problems other than a few cuts from the odd scuffle and fight with each other but medically they are healthy, happy dogs. We try to keep their treats consistant and they tend to have up to 4 of these gravy bones a day each which is about the recommended amount on top of their main meal.
The box isn't re-sealable so you can either transfer them into a container to keep them fresher or just leave the box in a cupboard. I tend to leave them in the box as they don't last long enough to spoil anyway!
The treats are about two inches long and shaped like a bone. They're hard and dark brown in colour and smell slightly meaty but they are not strong so they won't make your cupboard smell like some treats (tripe!!). As soon as I get these out for the boys their bottoms hit the floor as they know I ask them to sit to take their treat. They don't seem to get bored of these but we do rotate them with other dog treats of other textures such as dental sticks to help keep their teeth clean.
The bones are dry as they are a crunchy biscuit and after a couple of these the boys usually head to their water bowl to wash them down. This doesn't seem to bother them though. As long as they keep enjoying these we'll keep buying them!
I've been lucky enough to share my home with my Greyhound Oscar for almost eleven months and, anyone who's read any of my other dog food related reviews will be aware that Oscar is an extremely fussy eater. Ever since I've had him he's shown far more of an interest in cat treats than his own treats. At first I thought he was simply being awkward, he knew these particular items of food were not for him thus he wanted them. So I developed a trick of giving the cats his dog treats before him so he'd think they were cat treats. He still wasn't interested. I'd put dog treats into cat treat packets and try and trick him that way, that didn't work either. Either this dog was too intelligent for me and was able to continuously catch me out or he just genuinely preferred the taste of cat treats over dog treats. I have recently discovered it was the latter. Actually, the reason Oscar went for the cat treats rather than the dog treats is, now I know, so obvious I can't believe it took me so long to figure it out!
Dog treats I was buying were typically meaty and chewy whereas the cat treats were typically biscuit type treats. Oscar just prefers biscuits! Now I'm buying them Oscar is eating dog biscuit treats without any thought about who they're meant for, he's just enjoying them!
So I decided to stock up on dog biscuits and the first thing I bought were these Pedigree Meaty Bones. Although it has become clear he likes biscuits I also know him to like gravy, in fact I often soak his dry food in gravy as this increases the chances of him actually eating it quite a bit. So I thought these would be perfect for him and considering how popular these treats seem to be it appears most dogs would agree with that.
I purchased a 400g box of these gravy bones from Tesco for £1.39, they're also available in larger 1.5Kg bags for £3.89 and these prices seem to be pretty much the same regardless of where you buy them from. They're very easy to get hold of as well, I've never been to a supermarket or pet shop which doesn't sell these.
Oscar's 400g size treats come in a cardboard box following the usual Pedigree yellow and red colour scheme along with their logo, product name and picture of the treats. There's plenty of information on the box about these gravy bones and they're described as ' crunchy biscuit combined with a delicious meaty coating. One of the tastiest biscuits around.' The treats are free from artificial colours and flavourings and contain omega 3, calcium and vitamins and minerals to keep your dog healthy and happy. I was keen to let Oscar try these, it seemed promising that he'd actually really like them.
The box has perforated edges along the top which allows you to easily pull back a rectangular piece of cardboard along the top to allow access to these treats. There's no way of sealing this back down but then I don't suppose it needs to be. I simply pop the box back into my cupboard once I've finished with it and they last perfectly fine there. .
The treats themselves are about 2inch long and shaped like a bone. They're hard and dark brown in colour and have a slight 'meaty' scent to them but nothing too bad or off putting. One thing Oscar does like about cat treats is their size. He's eleven months old so not completely fully grown although I'd guess he's about two thirds the size of a fully grown greyhound so he's not a particularly small dog and could easily handle the size of one of these whole in one go if he wanted to. But, and I've really no idea why, Oscar won't eat anything unless it's in tiny pieces regardless of how much he likes it. He absolutely loves sausages, for example, but he'll still turn his nose up to a whole one. For some reason everything has to be cut up into cat sized pieces really! Thankfully, these are really easy to snap in half or even into three bits. They don't crumble everywhere or make a massive mess which was a huge relief to me. I had images of having to get the hover out every five minutes now we had found a love for biscuits.
As I suspected, Oscar loves these. Once they've been broken up into his desired size he'll gobble them down quickly. He always seems to be wanting more but I never give him more than ten a day, they don't appear to be too unhealthy but they're still a treat after all. I don't want to own the first fat Greyhound and I definitely don't want him filling up on treats so he doesn't eat his actual meals. Feeding instructions on the box state that small dogs can have up to three per day, medium dogs up to six and large dogs up to twelve. Obviously fresh water should also always be available which I'd say goes for these treats more than any others. While Oscar certainly does like these I can only assume they're quite dry as after he's had a few he's straight over to his water bowl lapping up huge amounts of water. I would say of all the treats we've tried so far gravy bones appear to be the favourite! Even ones I'd tried in the past which he did like he displayed a sort of 'I'm only eating this because it's there' sort of attitude but these he simply can't get enough of!
My partner's dog, Gizmo, is a blind 10 year old little cute pain in the neck (He's a Jack Russell and Corgi mix). Whilst I've been off sick from work I've been trying to train him and I've found that the best treats to do that with are Pedigree Gravy Bones. Here's why...
Dogs love them
The phrase "You can't teach an old dogs new tricks" is so not true. Using gravy bones i have taught gizmo to sit, wait and come to me on command (Am having slightly more trouble teaching him not to bark). Gizmo loves them, even the rattle of the box gets his attention. He's a little dog and so they're a great size for him and unlike with other treats (Which he seems to inhale), he actually has to chew. I think he likes the crunchy element. As Gizmo is blind his sense of smell maybe a bit stronger but he seems to be able to smell them from quite far away which is great if i'm trying to get him to stop barking at the dog on the other side of the garden fence (His arch nemesis, he really hates that dog). There are other versions of gravy bones on the market, but Gizmo will accept no substitutes, it has to be pedigree. His vet has an inferior version of gravy bones that she gives him when he goes to her office but he won't entertain them.
A handy little biscuit
The biscuit is around 3cm in length and 0.5cm thick so is really easy to hold one in a fist in your hand which is great for training purposes. They smell like gravy too which always makes me want Sunday dinner. The size is also good for not allowing the dog to get too full, they never stop Gizmo eating his dinner (Although he is a pig). Recommended feeding is:
Small dogs - Up to 3 biscuits a day
Medium dogs - Up to 6 biscuits a day
Large dogs - Up to 12 biscuits a day
Great value for money
Most supermarkets offer a box of 400g for below £1.50 but there's generally offers bringing them to £1 if you look around. There are approximately 100 bones in a 400g box (I counted 104 but Gizmo ate one). We only use a couple of biscuits a day so one box lasts us up to three months. I also snap them in half occasionally but then can get quite sharp when they are broken (Not good for a blind dog). Pedigree also do the biscuits in chicken flavour (Which are very similar but Gizmo prefers the original beef flavour) and I recently noticed a similar product called Milk bones which we'll be trying soon.
They also are healthy apparently
Pedigree claim that the biscuits help maintain your dog's healthy teeth and bones as they contain omega 3 ("To help keep him fit for life"), calcium and vitamins. Ingredients include cereals, meat and animal derivatives (I don't want to know what that means), derivatives of vegetable origin, minerals, oils and fats, seeds, herb (Why are ingredients for pet food are lot more vague than human food?). They are also free from artificial colours and free from artificial flavours.

For the past few months, i've been home alone most days as i'm back home from University and my friends, boyfriend and parents work through the day so i've been amazingly bored! As a result, my four dogs have been like my new best friends during the day and as i'm too podgy (i'm seriously like a walking exercise ball at the minute thanks to good old pregnancy) to walk them very far, i've been spending most day times training them - it's better than sitting there watching Jeremy Kyle! My dogs all have their own little traits and some are more picky than others when it comes to treats, however these gravy bones have been a hit with my dogs for absolute years - I remember buying some when I got my first dog when he was a puppy.
These gravy bone treats are made by Pedigree, probably one of the most popular/well known pet brands around. The treats are widely available and most supermarkets, pet shops and online retailers sell them. I personally buy them from Tesco as I shop there anyway, and they're a reasonable price in there - £3.85 for a 1.5 kilogram bag. Some shops overcharge ridiculously for these treats and i've seen them in a local pet shop for just under £6 for the same amount (1.5kg)! I think this is mainly because Pedigree is seen as a very good brand.
The gravy bones that I get as I said before are the ones that come in 1.5kg bags, these are strong, durable plastic bags which have the yellow and red colour scheme on them along with a little area where you can see the gravy bones through the transparent 'window.' The bag is easy to cut open and I usually empty the treats into a large tin that's specifically for dog treats/food. I guess a downside to this type of packaging is that you can't really keep the treats in the bag once it's opened as they'll fall out, so it is neccesary to have a large container to transfer the treats into.
The smaller packs of the treats (500 grams) come in a cereal box type cardboard box, which is better packaging in my opinion as you don't have to transfer the treats into a container. The treats are really cute, they're shaped like miniature bones and they're a nice chocolatey brown colour. They have a smooth, shiny coating to them and when I snapped one in half just now I can see that the inside is crumbly and crunchy which my dogs very much enjoy! The treats are a little messy/crumbly but not too bad and my dogs soon hoover up any crumbs, however I have a wooden floor so people who have carpet may want to put their dog(s) outside when feeding them one (or two!) of these treats.
The bones have a subtle, quite pleasant smell which is suprisingly quite sweet and biscuity. Pedigree describe the bones as having a meaty taste and smell, however in my opinion it isn't meaty at all but perhaps it tastes different to how it smells! My dogs often sniff the air and lick their lips while waiting for their treat and do lots of tricks in order to get one, so they obviously really like them! One treat is like a bite sized snack to my dogs and although they eat one in a few mouth fulls they seem content with just a few each rather than a handful.
My dogs chew these easily, but they are quite hard, I don't think a more mature puppy (say 6 months ish) would struggle with one of these treats but a younger dog with fragile teeth would, as would an older dog that has problems with its teeth, so if you are buying these for a puppy or older dog it'd be a good idea to break it in half to help them cope with it. These are listed as being for adult dogs however I gave them to all of my dogs from around 6 months when they had their strong, adult teeth.
These treats contain omega 3 and calcium, both of which help maintain a dogs natural defences and keep their teeth strong and healthy. They are also free from artificial colours and flavours. They're really good value for money when purchased from the right place and a 1.5kg bag lasts for ages, even with 4 greedy dogs in the house. My dogs enjoy these treats and they're a good training aid, so I overall reccomend them. On a quick side note there is also a 'milk' version of these bones.
I share my life with 5 dogs and although they do not gets treats all the time I decided to get them some for Christmas this year; whilst browsing through my local Pets at Home shop (and spending a lot more money than I intended to) I came across these gravy bones by Pedigree. All 5 of my dogs are extremely greedy characters and will happily gobble down anything (other than their dog biscuits), one of them in particular is quite partial to a bit of pea and ham soup whilst my old cocker spaniel loves nothing more than sharing a cornetto! The gravy bones were available to buy in 2 flavours, chicken or the original flavour that I decided to go for and they are also available in a range of sizes, I opted for the 175g bag that cost just 87p.
These biscuits are bone shaped and crunchy with a tasty gravy coating that your dog will adore, I know mine certainly get excited when they hear the rustle of the packet! Each little bone is enriched with added calcium to support strong joints and bones and also to promote dental health whilst added vitamins help to boost your dog's overall health and vitality. The recommended feeding guide for these treats are up to 6 a day for small dogs, 12 per day for medium sized dogs and up to 18 a day for large breeds - though I really think that 18 treats a day is perhaps a bit much! Call me a scrooge but I tend to limit my dogs to around 4 treats per day each, that way they look forward to them but don't become porky pooches! They also don't get gravy bones on a daily basis, as I still have a few different treat selections left over from xmas I tend to give them a variety of little snacks so they don't get bored.
These treats are not long lasting, a few chews and they're gone, particularly hungry hounds might just swallow them down in one go! My elderly cocker spaniel rarely bothers to give his more than one chew before it disappears down the hatch. Pedigree gravy bones are made of cereals, minerals, meat and animal derivatives, derivatives of vegetable origin and oils and fats, not appealing to many humans but dogs really do go a bundle on such things. I am told that these treats are 11% protein, 7% oils and fats, 8% crude ash, 2.5% crude fibre and contain 400mg/kg of omega 3.
All 5 of my lovable mutts love these treats and for 87p a bag you really can't complain, they make great rewards when training and my pack will all sit and wait for their gravy bones quite happily. The only downside is the potential choking hazard if your dog decides to swallow them in one go, though I suppose this could happen when feeding most treats. Definately a firm favourite and don't break the bank either, Pets at Home also do their own brand of gravy bones that cost just £3.29 for 1.5kg, worth giving them a go.
These are great treats and definitely a favourite with my dogs. They are little bones covered in a gravey type covering. They actually smell of gravey too to seem pretty realistic.
They pass the nose test, the dogs start sniffing the air when the bag is opened!
These can be bought in small bags or in major bulk in a huge box! Obviously they are cheaper in a huge box but the little bags are only about 80p so pretty good value really.
Even though they have a gravey covering they do not feel sticky in your hands. I would not put them in the coat pocket when raining as they would probably get very sticky and not very nice at all!!
The dogs really like these and for the price they are good value. Oddly enough I have not seen supermarkets copying this idea and making their own gravey bones like they have the shapes so it is nice that pedigree are the only ones making these.
I like to buy these for the dogs at home but they are limited in their versiltility due to them getting sticky when wet but to just have at home they are great and well worth it.
I own two dogs both of which love food so trying to keep tem slim and healthy can be a daily challenge. Fortunately they are with me at my yard for quite a few hours in the day so they tend to burn a lot of their energy and calories off. At the yard they have a big treat tin which contains a variety of dog treats most of which have been brought if they are on offer or by people coming to visit and rather than bring me anything the dogs get something instead!!
Recently on offer in one of the supermarkets were Gravy Bones by Pedigree. These are one of my dogs' favourites but they would probably say that about every treat if they could talk! Gravy Bones have been around for years and I am more than happy to buy my dogs a box as they enjoy them and they provide a nice treat now and again.
Gravy Bones come in a bright yellow and red cardboard box (Pedigree colours) and feature an image of what looks to be a Collie on the front and also images of the Gravy Bones themselves with the product name in big lettering. On the back of the box there is information on the Gravy Bones such as feeding, ingredients and contact information. What I do find is useful that they have a daily feeding guide on the back but what I don't like about the box is that it doesn't re-seal so if you don't use these up quick enough they may go stale.
The Gravy Bones themselves are quite small in size probably around 4 inches and are quite thin. They are coated in a brown 'gravy' and are made out of a dense biscuit which is great for keeping your dog's teeth clean. When you open the box you do get a meaty aroma but almost a synthetic smell of gravy which even though not very appealing to me the smell seems very appealing to the dogs! They contain extra calcium (as well as vitamins and minerals) which help keep your dog's bones and teeth healthy which is great especially when you have big dogs there bones almost need a little extra care. Omega 3 oils are included for overall care but they do help keep the coat nice and shiny.
Because the Gravy Bones are quite thin they can be easily broken into several pieces which I find useful especially when out on walks as I can treat them a little big at a time should they have done something good and also I find they are more satisfied with receiving a few little pieces rather than say just two whole Gravy Bones.
I personally don't give them the recommended daily allowance of Gravy Bones as they do get other treats during the day as well as helping themselves to carrots, apples and parsnips which I'm more than happy for them to eat. However, I do find that they enjoy them a lot but then again they are not fussy and will eat anything you give them! I do like that they are coated in a 'gravy' and I think this I why my dogs find them incredibly tasty. They are definitely a firm favourite of mine as my dogs like them and as a treat or reward they are never sniffed at!
Pedigree Gravy Bones are widely available in supermarkets, pet stores, discount stores and online. They come in two varieties; beef or chicken (my two like both!) and for a 400g box they cost just under £2 which I think is reasonable for what they are. I definitely recommend them but just given in moderation.
Dogs and treats, they go together like well jam and sponge. Dogs those little nibbles which owners tend to give them when they look imploringly at them. TRouble is those treats can add up and suddenly your looking at a portly pooch, the answer? Well one tip is to not give your dog a treat which seems very harsh and as you can't explain it to your dog or at least you can try and it would go like this
"I'm not giving you a treat because you've put on two stone since last year and the vet wants to prosecute me for pet abuse" the owner
"woof woof" dog (translation - "Where's my treat?"
So if you want to wean your dog off treats then it can be cold turkey or you can give them a little treat less often, then slowly stop giving treats. So onto pedigree gravy bones, these are little bone shaped treats which can be given as occassional treats. They have the bonus of being small, and therefore low in calories per treat time. They do actually look quite appealing and have a nice dark tanned colour giving the illusion of a nice meaty treat for your dog.
They are described as gravy bones but in reality they are biscuit with some kind of meaty covering. They are about 3 inches long and are suitable for dogs of any size or weight. A medium sized dog can be given around 8-12 biscuits a day but I'd suggest 2-5 being a more realistic number.
These biscuits are a bit sticky and leave a bit of a residue on the fingers, they can be kept in the box as they don't go off and our dog loves them. He will pester anyone if they go anywhere near the box and gets one after his walk in the morning, one in the evening and one from his dog sitter every lunchtime (he gets a visit from our neighbour when we are at work).
At around £2 for a box, they don't cost a fortune and they last a while so don't put too big a whole in the pocket of the dogs owner.
Pets are special to their owners anyone who has ever had a cat or dog will know this. Most of us owners will do pretty much anything to keep our little friends warm and happy.
We'll walk them in the rain, maybe even allow them in the car. And if they are ill we'll stay up and make sure they are ok just as we would a child. When a child is good they usually are allowed some treats, so it must be with your best friend.
Pedigree Gravy Bones
Morrison's sell these in small packets or big boxes of 450g. The big box was the one I opted for and I duly handed over the £1.81 knowing that someone at home was going to be very happy.
There are lots of small bone shaped biscuits secluded in the bright yellow box. They are brown in colour and shiny which I wasn't expecting. They actually looked good enough to eat. They were about 2-3 inches long and about half an inch wide just a nice size for a doggie treat I'd say.
There are recommendations on the side of the box as to the maximum your dog is allowed, and this really depends on the dogs size, but roughly 15 per day is about normal.
They do smell of gravy I as I mentioned looked good enough to eat, the temptaion was there but I declined, however my son did not and took a bite much to the surprise of Tasha our collie cross. He did not totally digest the biscuit, but he did give the dog a fright, she must have thought...................bloody hell I've got to share something for a change, that's just not cricket.
I took several from the box in the kitchen and was followed eagerly through to the living room, naughtily I teased Tasha only to succumb as I always do. She certainly looked as if she was enjoying them, but I've never seen a dog not look happy when they are eating.
So I'm guessing that Tash is giving them a big thumbs up, and I will have to do the same, for if my little girl is happy then so am I.
It just so nice that something so inexpensive can give so much joy, pretty much like me and a Mars Bar. Tasha was happy and there were still lots more biscuits to come, what more could I ask for expect perhaps another Mars Bar.
Gravy Bones are a meat flavoured biscuit treat for dogs. As the name suggests, they are bone shaped and are the colour of gravy! This review is of the Pedigree version, but they are available from other sources, often cheaper.
I first bought these treats to use as a training aid for my dog. I used them as a reward or a bribe depending on the circumstances! They have a fairly strong smell which the dog instantly recognises so they're handy for getting his attention. The dog definitely enjoys these treats, but they aren't as exciting to him as meatier ones such as schmacko, or the holy grail that is fresh chicken!
At £1.24 for 400g, these gravy bones are good value for money as they last quite a while. If you have a smaller dog you could break them in half to make them last even longer!
The treats come in a convenient cardboard box and don't take up much space at all. Mine go in the same cupboard as the cereal boxes so I have to make sure I don't get mixed up each morning! The box has instructions for how many biscuits various sizes of dog should be allowed in a day. Apparently a labrador could have 18! That seems a bit excessive to me though, I probably wouldn't give more than 5 or 6 a day whatever the breed of dog, as these aren't their main diet, just a treat, and it would start to get expensive!
I would recommend these treats, but with the suggestion that you try your local pet shop first. They may sell a similar product but without the pedigree name that is just as good quality but cheaper. I only buy the Pedigree name brand version because my local independent pet shop stopped selling them.
Poppy and Coco are particularly spoilt but I do like to treat them regularly. Pedigree Gravy Bones are product that I buy fairly frequently as my dogs can't seem to get enough of them and they are treats that are a relatively low price for the amount that you get. I'm happy and so are they; everybody's happy.
*The Claim*
Pedigree Original Gravy Bones Biscuit Dog Treats are delicious, tasty, crunchy biscuits that have been coated in a tasty gravy for a taste your dog will love.
*About the Product*
Each gravy bone is infused with calcium (to promote your dogs dental health and support strong bones) and vitamins (to help boost your dogs overall health, keeping them healthy and active. In a delicious and original recipe flavour, your dog will not be able to get enough of these delicious treats.
*Price and Availability*
Pedigree Gravy Bones can be purchased for £0.82 for a 175g packet or £5.10 for a 1.5kg bag. I think this is very reasonable for the amount of gravy bones that you receive and feel like I am definitely getting value for money when I buy this product.
You can buy Pedigree Gravy Bones from a number of different shops. You can buy the smaller bags from supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda. The larger bags as for sale in Pets at Home as well as numerous online websites that sell pet treats for example www.petsupermarket.co.uk.
*My Opinion*
The packaging: Pedigree Gravy Bones are packaged in a bright yellow and red plastic bag. You can spot it a mile off in a shop due to its bright, bold colours. I am a particular fan of the ease in which you can open the packaging. I can be something of a klutz at times and have been known to spill a packet of their treats over the kitchen floor, scrambling to pick them all up before they are munched on by my rascals. This situation doesn't happen with this product as the packaging opens easily. I am not however a fan of the fact it doesn't have the sticky tab to reseal the treats like some of the Pedigree products. This means that it is necessary to put the treats in a tub that can be done up and keep them fresh.
Flavours: Pedigree Gravy Bones is available in three flavours: original, chicken and beef. This is a reasonably good variety of flavours and my pooches has tried and tested all three, each of which they scoffed down rapidly.
Appearance: Pedigree Gravy Bones are thin, bone shaped dog biscuits. They are approximately an inch in length which means that they must be chewed rather than swallowed whole, something my pooches like to do. In all honesty, they don't really look like anything special but clearly my dogs find them attractive as the second the tub they are kept in is opened, they are at my feet like a shot. They are dark brown in colour and have a shiny, glazed finish rather than matte. They look to be hard and crunchy in texture but I can't say I've tasted them myself to give you a definitive answer.
Smell: There is a very slight smell to Pedigree Gravy Bones but it certainly isn't unpleasant, in fact it is just a little of gravy. I think that it must be a strong scent for dogs as they are beside you within seconds of you taking it from the packet.
What are the ingredients? Cereals, minerals, meat & animal derivatives, derivatives of vegetable origin, oils and fats, EEC permitted antioxidants and preservatives.
Allowance: On the packet, there is a guide to the number of gravy bones that your dog can have per day. They can be fed as a treat at any time during the day in addition to your dog's main meal.
Small dog (i.e. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel): 4 bones per day
Medium dog (i.e. Cocker Spaniel or Beagle): 8 bones per day
Large dog (i.e. Golden Retriever or Labrador): 12 bones per day
For me, the number of treats that they are allowed to have seems very generous, and you certainly won't be seeing Poppy and Coco getting 12 bones each per day. Money doesn't grow on trees and I'm sure that wouldn't be good for them.
How Long Does It Usually Last? Pedigree Gravy Bones actually last longer than 15 seconds which is something rare with my two Labradors as they eat most things whole without a thought for chewing. These bones are a little too large and crunchy which means that they must be chewed in order for them to be swallowed. This is great as it helps to fight against tartar build up.
I think that Pedigree Gravy Bones are the perfect training treat. They are relatively strongly scented and therefore you are able to get and hold your dog's attention for longer. I wish I had known about these treats when Poppy and Coco were younger as it made have been a more effectively and certainly a cheaper alternative to the training treats that we bought.
*Would I Recommend This Product?*
I would certainly recommend Pedigree Gravy Bones. Poppy and Coco really enjoy these treats and the fact that they have added calcium and added vitamins is pretty great too. I recommend these treats as ones that you can carry with you whilst on a long walk as they won't crumble in your pockets and are great to grab your dogs attention also therefore they are perfect for training. Plus they don't smell really strong like some dog treats and I'm not a huge fan of outrageously smells treats.
Pedigree Gravy Bones are a firm favourite with Poppy and Coco. They can obviously smell them the second they are out because they are almost instantly by my side. My girls go a little nutty when they hear the tub being opened for these treats. They'll give you their paw or sit as many times as you want them to when the gravy bones are out. On the whole, I think that Pedigree Gravy Bones are a fantastic treat for your beautiful pooches. These bone shaped dog biscuits with a gravy coating will be enjoyed by your dogs at a reasonably low price, something that makes me very happy.

Finally got some time at the forge and didn't have any jobs waiting to be done. Made 4 items in 4 hours of hammering. Made a large tripod, a hook as a demo, handle for a broom to match a shovel and a jack hammer. Had the shop to myself and it felt good.
