First I want to make a recommendation to anyone who reads this. I’m a trainer and behavior consultant, and I recommend enrichment and healthy long-term chews to anyone who will listen. My dogs benefit from me trying things out to recommend. Beef cheek rolls have been high on that list, but recently red barn has been hit or miss for my fur kids. They go crazy over freeze dried anything, but that doesn’t last long. I purchased Sam’s private brand of beef cheek roll, and you’d think my dogs won the lottery of cheese and freeze dried turkey necks and duck heads, by the way they acted. My 11yo mastiff pranced around with it in her mouth and expressed her joy in what we call “moosing” - grunting and groaning her delight until she finally laid down with it and started chewing. I love these because they take a long time to get through. I’ll no longer be buying - or recommending - any brand but Sam’s.
As an animal enthusiast and pet parent, Sam’s blew me away. They love their community, and it shows. Their staff is knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and they know their stuff. They understand dog body language, knew how to ask my dog for consent to interact, and by the time we left, the shy chow chow I was working with was wiggling his tail and curious about each person who walked by. They’ll special order order anything you need, but the variety of options already available is impressive. I HIGHLY recommend this place to my friends, colleagues, and clients. I love this place!
