Wellness Soft WellBites Dog Treats

Dad

I saw this one online. Thought it looked good. Your first reaction?

Boldo

The bag smells legitimate. Not like those mystery treats from the grocery store that smell like cardboard and regret. These actually have something to them. The texture looks soft, which is fine I guess. My teeth still work.

Dad

Okay, you've been staring at it for ten minutes. What's the verdict on smell?

Boldo

Chicken is the main thing, but there's something underneath it. Sweet potato, maybe. It's not aggressive—not like those salmon treats that make you gag. This is more... mature. I can smell the actual ingredients, which is suspicious in a good way. Is the cat getting one?

Dad

Now that you've actually used it — what do you think?

Boldo

They're soft enough that I don't have to work too hard, which is better than I expected. No weird aftertaste. They dissolve pretty fast, so there's not much chewing satisfaction, but the smell was good enough that I'm not upset. Did you know the mailman went by? I smelled him three houses down.

Dad

The cat hasn't touched it. Does that mean something?

Boldo

The cat won't eat anything unless it's raw fish or something she hunted herself. She's insufferable. But she also looked at these treats twice, which means she wanted to hate them and couldn't. That's a win.

Dad

Rate it. One to five. You know what the ones are.

Boldo

Look. They smell good, they taste fine, the texture doesn't make me angry. You didn't waste your money. I'd eat them again. That's a 4.
