There’s something about a dog hearing the crinkle of a treat bag that instantly transforms them from sleepy angel to Olympic-level athlete. And if you’ve got a pup who reacts that way, you might want to brace yourself because these new steak-packed treats are turning even the calmest dogs feral in the best way.
Friends of mine who have served them to their pups are calling them “canine crack” because of how much their dogs love them and how much easier training has become after using them as an incentive to earn another piece. And honestly, after taking a closer look at what’s inside the bag, it makes total sense. These treats are like the dog version of a backyard grill-out, and dogs are acting as if they know it.

These Blue Buffalo Top Chews Steak Grillers for Dogs are made with real beef as the first ingredient, so they smell and taste like the kind of juicy, smoky flavor dogs go wild for. They’re free from artificial preservatives or flavors, made in the USA, and sized so you can give whole pieces or break them up for training. Each little griller has a soft, meaty texture that’s more like a mini beef patty than a biscuit, which explains why even picky pups don’t hesitate.
Pet parents claim the difference is immediate. Dogs who usually sniff and walk away suddenly park themselves in front of the pantry. If your pup loves high-protein snacks, you might also enjoy this American Journey Protein & Grains dog food and these bark-worthy smoked duck feet roasted to crunchy perfection.
The bottom line is that these steak-packed bites hit the sweet spot of meaty, aromatic, and affordable. Best of all, it upholds the value Costco is known for and is beloved by dogs across the board. Just be warned: stock up now, because once your dog tries them, you may never be able to run out.
