AUTUMN 2014 UPDATE: Leanlix Naturals mold danger: The Cascadian Nomads no longer purchase this dog treat product ourselves and do not recommend using it or suggest using it with extreme caution. We had to throw away two containers of Leanlix Naturals after the products began to grow mold. We have no idea what kind of mold the treat was growing or if it was dangerous to the dogs but even an attempt to remove the moldy top and use the rest of the treat failed as the mold continued to grow.
| Typist: Bethany You'll be surprised to learn that finding training treats all three of my dogs like is quite difficult. Wait. Finding training treats that not just Wilhelm likes and will work hard for isn't easy. I learned about Leanlix a few years ago at the Seattle Kennel Club Dog Show. I was really excited about the product. Leanlix is such a great idea, low calories and it is local. But I was not excited about the ingredients. I don't eat anything hydrogenated so I won't feed anything hydrogenated to my pets. Upon a visit to my favorite neighborhood pet store, Pet Elements, I saw that not only had they started carrying Leanlix but there was now a Leanlix Naturals line. Instead of hydrogenated glucose syrup as the first ingredient, the new Leanlix Naturals flavors has brown rice syrup as the first ingredient. Still not a super healthy main ingredient but better than hydrogenated glucose and, hey, it's a treat! |  |
| The very best part is that Wilhelm, Brychwyn and Huxley all like the Leanlix Naturals Grass Fed Beef flavor. And I mean they really like it! All three dogs recalls on our recent trip to First Beach were impeccable. Random sits while we are out and about lately have been super speedy. Before where there was a bit of "I might do what you are asking depending on what's in the bait bag" delay in our training, there is now enthusiasm and excitement. Brychwyn has even gotten so that he will do his leash reactivity preventing "with me" just from hearing the Leanlix lid "pop" open. |  |
| Speaking of the lid, I took the first Leanlix Naturals I purchased everywhere for the entire week and a half it lasted. It swung from my hands-free leash belt for miles and miles in sunshine and in rain. It fell on the sidewalk, It fell in the sand. Wilhelm and Brychwyn both had a chance to get a hold of it and take it to their beds like a chew. But did the Leanlix container crack or break throughout any of this real life abuse? No! The lid still pooped on and off tightly until the last lick was had. My only complaint is that the paper sticker around the tube disintegrated. I suppose most people don't walk in as much rain as Wilhelm, Brychwyn, Huxley and I do. Anyways, I solved this problem by wrapping clear packing tape around the new tubes I bought. I wanted to use clear tape so that the every five minutes people ask me what it is I am giving to the dogs, I can show them theLeanlix label. |  |
These photos would normally have been product review outtakes but I just couldn't help posting them.
Is it obvious that Leanlix Naturals are pretty popular around here?

 Two new Leanlix Naturals, Grass fed Beef & Free Range Chicken, and an almost empty one I took everywhere. |  Wrapping clear packing tape around a new Leanlix Naturals in hope of making the tube more Cascadian weather proof. |
