Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes these treats different from regular BLUE Bits training treats?

Ans: Santa Snacks Soft & Chewy Treats are a limited-edition seasonal version of the classic soft bits formula. They share the same real chicken as the first ingredient and a soft, chewy texture, but come in fun holiday shapes designed specifically for the Christmas season, making them ideal as stocking stuffers or festive rewards.

Q2: Are these treats suitable for dogs of all sizes?

Ans: Yes, these bite-sized treats are suitable for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. At approximately 7 to 10.5 mm in size and 4 kcal per piece, they work well for small, medium, and large dogs. Pieces can be broken in half for very small dogs or during high-frequency training sessions.

Q3: How many treats are in a 4.5-oz bag?

Ans: There are approximately 97 treats per bag, though the exact number can vary slightly as these treats are packaged by weight rather than by count.

Q4: Can these treats be used for training?

Ans: Yes. Their small, bite-sized format and soft, chewy texture make them well-suited as positive reinforcement training rewards. Their strong chicken aroma is highly motivating for most dogs, and the low 4 kcal per piece makes them practical for training sessions.

Ans: Yes, Blue Buffalo Santa Snacks are made in the United States.

Q6: Do these treats contain any artificial preservatives or by-product meals?

Ans: No. In keeping with Blue Buffalo's True Blue Promise, these treats contain no chicken or poultry by-product meals, no corn, wheat, soy, and no artificial flavors or preservatives. They are naturally preserved with a blend of tocopherols and lactic acid.

Q7: Why does this treat contain cane sugar?

Ans: Cane sugar is a minor ingredient that contributes to the soft, chewy texture and palatable flavor of these treats. The caloric contribution of the small amount used is minimal at 4 kcal per piece, and these treats are intended for intermittent use only.

Q8: Is fish oil included, and what does it provide?

Ans: Yes, fish oil is included as a source of DHA at a minimum of 0.10%. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that helps support natural skin and coat health, cognitive function, healthy weight, and kidney health in dogs.

Q9: Are these treats available year-round?

Ans: No. Santa Snacks are a limited-edition seasonal product available during the holiday season. They typically return each year in the fall and holiday period.

Q10: Are these treats safe for puppies?

Ans: These treats are intended for dogs of all ages, including puppies. However, they should be fed as an intermittent supplement to a puppy's complete and balanced diet, not as a meal replacement. Break pieces in half for very young or very small puppies.
